Bedroom: Kingsize (5ft) Bed. Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Laundry service available on request at cost. Small enclosed garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. ½-acre landscaped grounds (shared with other property on-site). Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. These two holiday cottages (refs UK11991 and UK11993) are beautifully appointed properties situated in a lovely little village called Herne on the main route to Herne Bay beach. Set on the owner’s smallholding with poultry and livery yard, they are perfect for couples looking to have all the quaint village amenities on their doorstep and are also within a short distance to a stunning beach area. It is a short leisurely stroll into Herne where you reach a village pub that serves delicious food, and a bit further on is the local shop.
The cottages have been renovated to a modern standard for a more than comfortable stay, offering a spacious open plan living space with patio doors leading to the garden. There is a charming bedroom upstairs, and a sofa bed in the living room for alternative sleeping if needed. Enjoy calm mornings eating breakfast or balmy summer evenings out in your private garden area overlooking the fields, and being a dog friendly property, this is a great place for your dog to play.

A very picturesque and quiet location. The hosts were very friendly and were there if we needed anything. They have thought of absolutely everything you could need and the cottage was immaculate. We would thoroughly recommend a vacation here and we would definitely stay again.
