The place
With its back to a National Nature Reserve, Marshmede Cottage is surrounded by wonderful walks to take with your dog. Just 20 minutes drive from Canterbury, and 20 minutes drive to the sea – you’re perfectly placed in Kent to discover the very best of the region. With so much nearby, it’d be all too easy to only see this place in the mornings, or at night when you settle down, but don’t miss the chance to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of this cosy period cottage. Take a moment to tune out under wooden beams and exposed brick, dining by the fire, or breathing in the fresh air in the enclosed garden -- all with your favourite four-legged friend by your side!
