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.

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.

Dolly Plum Cottage Kent

The cottage was well situated to explore Kent. It was clean and well set up, especially the kitchen. The lounge was spacious and we even had the assistance of Alexa from Amazon. The welcome pack was lovely and Mark was waiting to explain things to us. The only drawback was the very steep stairs to a cramped loft bedroom. This needs to be highlighted so potential guests can make an informed decision about whether it is suitable to their circumstances. Older guests may struggle with the stairs especially when going down to use the toilet during the night. My wife also has a knee condition which made ascending/descending difficult. Taller guests may also struggle. Otherwise, a delightful spot with very friendly and helpful host..1

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!

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!
