About this property

Dolly Plum Cottage is a detached former agricultural building that has been converted into a delightful 1 bed cottage and is ideally situated to explore the many attractions located in this beautiful part of Kent.
Just off the beaten track but with quick and easy access to the main road and motorway
Standing in its own grounds the front door leads to a bright living area with a bathroom off to the front and a modern well equipped kitchen to the rear, overlooking the large private garden. A narrow wooden staircase leads to the double bed on a mezzanine level - please note this sleeping area is not therefore suitable for those with mobility issues. There is also a double bed settee in the living area.
Off road parking is available next to the cottage and patio furniture and BBQ are available.
Only a few steps from the front door is the first of many footpaths that will lead you into the Weald of Kent or if you prefer to venture further afield, EuroTunnel & Ferry Ports are only a short drive away for a day trip to France not forgetting that it’s just a 40min train journey from Ashford station to London.
Pet friendly. Please inquire before booking if you wish to bring your pet.
Welcome basket on arrival
All of the energy/heating supplied to the cottage is electric. Due to the huge increases in Electric charges we have introduced a fair usage policy to cover excessive use of heating and electric vehicle charging.
Upon your arrival and departure a meter reading will be taken, a £15 per day allowance will be given which should cover most people's needs. Anything above this will need to be paid at departure or deducted from any deposit.

Wonderful

We spent a relaxing week at Dolly Plum Cottage. Our dog enjoyed running around in the large garden. Mark was a warm host and greeted us with ice cream. We were also able to try the house's own honey. The house is beautifully situated for excursions and not far from the sea.

Stay in May 24

Although we enjoyed our stay, the cottage wasn't thorougly cleaned, wich was disappointing. There were many dustnets aobove the bed and in many corners,behind the TV, etc... The sleeping area under the roof is rather low, you can't stand up there, so it is difficult to clean, but anyway, it isn't nice when you arrive in a dusty sleeping place. The kitchen was very well occupied, but the extractor hood vettid. In the bathroom is no wall outlet. The livingroom is large and comfortable, but the seats are in need to renewal. The cottage is OK after a good cleaning

Quiet and comfortable country stay

We wanted a quiet place over Christmas and this venue is ideal for those who peace and quiet. The bathroom and kitchen are both excellent is size. The kitchen has everything you need. We didn't play any of the well-stocked games as we went out to places one of us was brought up in, then visited family. The chickens are wonderful.

Een heerlijk huisje voor een paar weken vakantie

Dolly Plum Cottage is een zeer comfortabele, meer dan complete woning met een ruime tuin, aan een buitenweg in een klein plaatsje. Vrijliggend, en ’s nachts is het donker en stil. De woonkamer en keuken zijn ruim, en er is een prima douche. En niet onbelangrijk: de wifi is perfect. De auto staat op eigen terrein, achter een hek. Het enige minpuntje: de trap naar de vide, waar zich het tweepersoonsbed bevindt, is nogal steil. Een achterwaartse afdaling is aan te raden. De ligging van de woning is perfect. Iets meer dan een half uur rijden van Dover en in minder dan een half uur zit je op het strand in Folkestone of sta je aan de voet van de Canterbury Cathedral. Er zijn planken en laden vol met wandelkaarten en boeken over Kent. En voor de regenachtige dagen is er een kast vol dvd’s en spelletjes. Een prima pub – the Duke’s Head – ligt op een mijl afstand. Zowel de vegetarische als de vleesgerechten kunnen we aanbevelen. Niet in de laatste plaats: Mark Potter is een fijne gastheer, bij wie je altijd met vragen terecht kunt. En het welkomstpakket werd natuurlijk zeer gewaardeerd!

Fabulous little cottage in Ashford

We really enjoyed our stay here. Had everything we need, the owners Mark and Gill even left us snacks as we unpack. My kids felt sad upon leaving as they also enjoyed feeding the chicken. Thank you so much!! Had a really great time! We definitely book again!

Beautiful cottage that has everything you’re looking for

We had a wonderful couple of days in the cottage. It’s super spacious, very neat and equipped with everything you need. There are lots of animals in the neighbourhood which our child enjoyed greatly. Mark was a wonderful host and very responsive. We especially enjoyed the chickens and the garden.

Rest and peace

It was our second time round staying at the Dolly Plum cottage. We came because we sought a place to wind down, and for the scenery and surroundings. Ashford and Folkstone are a little drive away, through green hills and pastures. Mark, the owner, is a very kind and friendly person, generous in sharing produce from his own hobbies and businesses. We will definitely be coming back again next summer. A little extra fun: There is an Alexa device present at the cottage. My spouse and I enjoyed battling for the command of music.

Excellent Place and Location

The cottage is delightful, its cosy and comfortable. The stairs are very steep up to the bedroom and so, given my age, I decided to sleep downstairs and was very happy with that arrangement. It is very well equipped, I had a wonderful five nights and would definitely stay again. The dogs loved the grassy area in the back for a run and Mark was a thoughtful, kind host, very responsive and helpful during my stay.

Homely Cottage

It was a home away from home. All that we needed and more was there. You could see the thoughtfulness in every aspect of the cottage. Our children (age 5 and 7) enjoyed the outdoors, they found family games and children's DVD's in the cupboard. Close proximity to Port Lymph Safari (10 mins drive), so it was just ideal for us. Excellent stay for a family of four. The host (Gill and Mark) were so kind and friendly, even left milk, tea, snacks and orange juice for us in case we didnt get the chance to do so.

Dolly plum cottage

We stayed for three nights and only left the cottage for walks. It had all we needed for a bolt hole and time out. Stairs a bit steep, but manageable. Will likely return on a regular basis. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Arrived the day our Queen Died.

Just as described and a bit more. Simple to find just off the A20 half way between Ashford and Folkestone. Great safe open gardens, Mark also looks after rescue chickens. Great WiFi and TV signal so able to keep updated with the news re the loss of our Queen Elizabeth 11. Visited Hythe, Dymchurch, Rye and Camber Sands. Great local Pub 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk on the A20 called the Dukes Head, even let you take your dog in. Nice people with good range of food and drinks. The way Mark greeted us was second so friendly and the property has everything for you and your pets, even towels for us both and our dog. Perfect thanks again Mark & Gill. Regards Bob, Carol and Bertie the dog.

Ashford

I found the property pretty however the cottage does need a deep clean and the outside of the property looks nothing like the pictures . I understand there are hens etc which are beautiful but there is a lot of rubbish outside. The area is great lots of places to visit but the attention to detail in the cottage is not that good. I cleaned the bathroom and it looked better. We are a fit couple but the stairs and bedroom are not easy to get to. As I said it could be a delightful place but needs some attention.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Potter

Mark & Gill moved to Kent in 2010 following many years serving abroad in the armed forces. Since our 3 sons left home we have been able to indulge in our interest to have a small plot of land where we could try to live "The Good Life". We have had a wide variety of pets and currently have 3 dogs and welcome all house trained pets with well behaved owners!

Why they chose this property

Just minutes from the main road and good access to the motorway yet in a secluded country position with its own large private garden. We fell in love with the cottage when we were looking for a small plot of land to grow our own produce and keep some chickens.

What makes this property unique

Dolly Plum Cottage is like a tardis – at first sight it appears quite small, but the open beamed ceiling and windows to 3 sides of the lounge makes it feel a lot larger on the inside although retaining its character – the mezzanine bedroom definitely gives it a romantic feel!
