Once the post office of this quaint village, a hot tub, outdoor seating, and spacious gardens make this home a great spot for a countryside getaway. With all its bedrooms on the first floor, guests who need help with stairs may wish to look elsewhere. But for a big family holiday, you'll find space for up to eight adults, two children, and two pets. The village of Dargate is tiny enough that you can enjoy the peace and quiet, with a friendly pub and Michelin-star restaurant a short stroll away. An easy drive into Canterbury or up to Tankerton beach means some fantastic days out, too.

Home truths

    Parking is available for up to four cars at this home

    This home is spread over two floors without an internal lift, so may not be the best choice for guests with reduced mobility

    Your host welcomes well-behaved pets here – dogs should be kept off of all furniture and are not allowed upstairs

    Some ceilings here are a little low, including in the entrance hall and twin bedroom – we think this bedroom is best suited to children

    Quiet hours should be observed here between 10pm and 9am

    A coal barbecue is available from April through October

    If you're planning on using the hot tub, ensure you shower beforehand so the water remains clean – a maintenance team will visit occasionally to check the hot tub

Once a quiet fishing community, it’s now one of the most popular second home spots in Kent, and its many admirers have encouraged new businesses, bars and eateries to pop up all over town.
