The historic, charming town of Sandwich, a 5-minute drive away, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Britain, with its pretty streets lined with historic buildings and quaint cottages, set back from, and overlooking the quay, with a choice of independent restaurants, cafés, pubs and individual shops. There are boat trips from Sandwich taking you to marvel at the seals lining the edge of Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve, a real sight to see. For a day at the beach, Sandwich Bay is certainly worth a visit, whilst the shingled beach at Deal is also nearby, within a 15-minute drive; as well as the vibrant, creative centre of Deal, with intriguing art galleries, boutique shops, and excellent eateries. The Honey House really is in an ideal position for exploring much of Kent’s hot spots, coast, and countryside.

What an amazing place! Perfect for the two of us and our two dogs. The accommodation is very comfortable, well equipped, clean and so quiet. We felt totally at home and the fully enclosed patio area and dedicated paddock were brilliant for the dogs. Adults loved the enthusiastic welcome from the goats! Plenty of parking. Sandwich, Deal, Dover all very close and basics available in the village.A real find in the Kent Countryside.

This is a really lovely holiday let for a relaxing break for 2 people and a dog. It was really clean and well equipped with a comfortable bed and sofa and good shower and welcome pack.Louise ( the owner) is lovely and available for any concerns but does not intrude on privacy. The goats are amazing and we miss their friendly welcome as we came and went - they love rich tea biscuits which Louise said they could have. Eastry is a small village but well stocked shop and a really good bakery where we sat outside and had coffee and cake. Sandwich is a nice town with plenty to see and do and well worth a visit as is Deal - both easy to get to by car or just relax in the peace and quiet. Of the countryside. Thank you Louise- we would happily come back in the future.

The Honey House is a lovely cottage, clean and well equipped kitchen. The Bee theme was really nice. Private and peaceful. The enclosed courtyard was ideal for the two dogs, they spent most of their time outside, except when we took them to the paddock. They were intrigued by the goats. We planned to go out daily, but just enjoyed being able to chill and relax where we were.The welcome pack was lovely and the dogs enjoyed the treats. We look forward to returning in the near future.
