The Bothy was built for Sir William Lynch as part of the Groves Estate in 1750 and was a gardener’s cottage and storage for carts. Following a sympathetic conversion, the detached cottage is now a wonderful getaway for families and couples, and dogs are welcome.



The location is wonderful, with a pub close by in the village of Staple and the picturesque Wingham only two miles away. Sandwich, close to the beach and containing more listed buildings than any other village in the UK, is only 6 miles away. The cathedral city of Canterbury is also a short drive and is a lively place with plenty of diverse shopping, clubs and restaurants. One can even hop on the ferry, or Eurotunnel for a trip over to France. You will feel your cares drifting away as you cross the private garden and enter the cosy warmth of this cottage. A striking open fire waits on winter evenings, or you can sit out on the sunny patio with a glass of wine to enjoy a Kentish summer at its best. An abundance of walks are on your doorstep with a number of good pubs to finish up in. . Shop and restaurant 2½ miles, pub 1 mile.

Please note the cottage is very rural and the Wi-Fi can sometimes be a little inconsistent. The Bothy can be booked together with Gamekeeper’s Cottage (UKC1062) to accommodate up to 6 guests.

Lovely little cottage in very quiet location, we could hear the owls at night.

Lovely little cottage in very quiet location, we could hear the owls at night. The garden was well enclosed which was welcomed by our dog, with lots of shrubbery for sniffing. I think it must be really nice in the summer to sit outside, but too cold and damp during our stay in November. The beds were comfortable and I especially liked the bathroom. The location was great, only a short drive to White Cliffs, Deal and Pegwell Bay Coutry Park where I had the best chips at the Salty Seal Cafe!

Absolutely stunning location.

Absolutely stunning location. The Bothy was a rare treat with everything you needed for a holiday. Amanda was very helpful when I needed logs for the fire and I forgot to arrange picking up the key so she helped us gain access. A lovely welcome pack. Would highly recommend and would use the accommodation again when in the area

Great owners who responded quickly to anything needed.

Great owners who responded quickly to anything needed. Nice little cottage ideal for 4 people. Really helpful when I left something behind. Take extra hand towels and tea towels as only one of each provided for a week. Fire smoked a bit but it was always warm in the cottage. Nice little pub near by.
