Rural Farm Cottage | Outside Space | 2bds & 2baths

Charming 2-bed cottage (1 double, 1 twin) in converted barns on a peaceful farm in Stelling Minnis. With a logburner in the lounge, shared courtyard, and easy parking plus the added bonus of 2 bathrooms. Pet-friendly and surrounded by scenic countryside walks. Ideal for exploring Canterbury, Dover, and Folkestone—perfect for a cosy rural escape in the gorgeous Kent countryside.

Welcome to our cosy farm cottage—perfect for families or small groups seeking a relaxing countryside escape. The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area features a welcoming log burner, ideal for socialising and spending quality time together.

The well-equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, washing machine, oven, hob, toaster, kettle, and microwave—everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay.

The cottage offers two inviting bedrooms: one double with an ensuite (shower over bath), and a twin room with access to a separate walk-in shower room. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and connection, it’s the perfect base to unwind and explore.

Our farm cottage is one of four charming cottages arranged around a shared courtyard. The setting is truly rural, surrounded by beautiful countryside walks, with friendly farm animals on-site. Despite the peaceful location, we’re just a short drive—10 to 20 minutes—from Canterbury, Folkestone, and Dover.

Full and private access to the 2bed room cottage.

Outside the cottage, you’ll find a fully paved shared courtyard. Just beyond the French doors of the cottage, there’s your own table and chairs on the shared courtyard—perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing outdoors.

Free parking - shared car park.

There are two farm houses on the site, these properties, and their gardens, are private residences.

All dogs must be kept on a lead when on the farm as there are farm animals.

Our farm cottages are managed by Rachel and Spencer from Key Retreats Ltd. We offer self check-in and available to respond to messages during your stay.

Pets are welcome. They must be kept under control and on a lead when outside the property. Any dog mess must be cleared up immediately.

There are lots of wonderful walks in the area and you can reach a footpath within 100 metres of the cottage.
