Sonnet Cottage is a picture postcard cottage set in a quiet hamlet overlooking the glorious Kent countryside, and yet just a short drive to the historic and coastal town of Sandwich and a little further to the medieval city of Canterbury. The cottage has five delightful bedrooms, and has the kind of interior that takes a group of people and settles them in quickly. The sitting and dining room is a lovely cosy room with an open brick fireplace, antique oak furniture, exposed beams and artwork. The kitchen is a neat galley space, well equipped and running the length of the cottage with encaustic tile floors underfoot. Two ground floor bedrooms make this a flexible option for those who'd rather avoid the stairs, one with its own en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the remaining bedrooms each have their own character and boast lovely views out over the countryside. The cottage has two bathrooms in total, and the layout works well for a family or mixed group of friends. Outside, the garden is the star of the show. Private, green and beautifully kept, with chairs on the lawn and countryside stretching away beyond the boundary. The cottage also benefits from amazing sunrises from the front of the cottage and sunsets from the back. Sandwich is just a short drive with its medieval streets, excellent pubs and the links golf of Royal St George's all within easy reach. Canterbury is a little further, and the coast at Deal and Walmer is equally accessible for days on the beach. Sonnet Cottage is a real home from home, and one that you'll want to return to year after year.

A wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet, and just switching off for a few days with family.
Stand in front of the cottage, facing the fields ahead of you, and just listen to the soothing silence, a real change from our city life.
Well-positioned for access to plenty of nice beaches, best of which was Ramsgate, less than 30 mins drive.

We travelled to Sandwich to visit with my dad's family we haven't seen in years. The cottage was big enough to hold us all. The garden was lovely and big for the kids to play and you can watch the sunset through the trees in the back garden.

I'd say the house, being so old, was charming but definitely not designed for anyone over 5'7" as there were many bumped heads on doorways during our stay. We tried to duck as much as possible but sometimes we forgot.

The road leading into the property was very tight, we had larger vehicles with us and it was a little scary taking them along on that first day but once you're there it is well worth it.

We had an incident whilst there, one of the bathroom taps broke, I contacted customer services and a plumber was on site the next day to replace it. Really quick and efficient.

Thanks Sonnet Cottage for the memories.
