Set in its own walled garden which is completely private, Gamekeeper’s Cottage is ideal for those seeking a romantic getaway. Part of the Groves Estate built for Sir William Lynch in around 1750, Gamekeeper’s Cottage is surrounded by high Grade II listed walls which shelter a gloriously sunny garden, spanning around a third of an acre, which is bursting with unusual plants and flowers including a fig tree. Here you will find your very own secret garden, a perfect retreat into countryside tranquillity – well away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Inside, the detached cottage has been renovated with a smart bathroom and a new kitchen installed in 2021. As this cottage is small it might not be appropriate for guests with limited mobility. The medieval local village of Staple has a friendly pub/restaurant and Wingham and Sandwich are a short drive away. Canterbury is less than 10 miles away and is full of a great variety of shops and restaurants. There is a great choice of beaches nearby including Broadstairs, Sandwich Bay and Ramsgate.
Please note this is a rural location and the WiFi can be intermittent or slow at times.
Gamekeeper’s Cottage is perfect for couples who want to spend some quality time together; those in need of peace and escape can wander around their own ’Garden of Eden’, before exploring the beautiful countryside and nearby coast – the best Kent has to offer. Even France is accessible with the Eurotunnel, and the ports at Dover and Folkestone close by. There is a bus stop within walking distance with buses running to Sandwich and Canterbury.
Please note the cottage is very rural and the Wi-Fi can sometimes be a little inconsistent. Gamekeeper’s Cottage can be booked together with The Bothy (UKC1061) to accommodate up to 6 guests.
