About this farm stay rental
The Bothy is a charming, renovated farm building, sitting within a working farm with lovely far-reaching views of the farm fields with grazing sheep and the distant iconic Kentish oasts. This traditional two storey building has a lovely open plan living space creating a spacious sociable area for friends or family to gather. Upstairs are three bedrooms, one ensuite, and the family bathroom. Outside is a patio, with garden furniture where you can relax, unwind, and soak up this lovely rural setting. Nestled in the beautiful Kent countryside, the area offers charming villages to explore, by foot, cycle or car. The historic market town of Faversham is a short drive away, and has a fabulous weekly market, as well as great walks along the creek. The medieval City of Canterbury is also a short drive with its iconic cathedral, and for those wanting to enjoy the coast, where better than a trip to the fishing harbour town of Whitstable famous for its oyster beds.

Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 5.0
We stayed at the Bothy for our summer holiday in July 2024.
The house is wonderfully located in the countryside of Kent but only a short distance from local shops and the A2. Canterbury, London and the coast are close by.
It took us a little extra effort to find the entrance of the property (Dully House) based on the provided instructions. The keybox was easily found and you can conveniently park just next to the house.
The house is spacious and the bedrooms and living room/kitchen provided more then enough space for our family of 4.
The garden was a wonderful place to sit and play games when the weather was good. We really enjoyed that.
The living room is comfortable and has everything you need, including games, books, music, tv. We had an issue with the internet connection but the owner helped to fix it the next day.
The kitchen is well equipped with all convenient appliances. There was more then enough cutlery and crockery, pots and pans. However it was a bit of a mismatch and many items were not very clean. We missed some pots and pans as they were in a somewhat hidden cupboard underneath the breakfast bar :-) There is also almost no space available for putting away the groceries during your stay.
There are 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms. They were nice and clean. However the windows of the bathrooms upstairs look out over the countryside and the path towards the farm buildings. This provides little privacy when using the bathrooms since there were no window blinds installed. The sinks in the bathrooms are thigh-high which makes it very hard to use for washing and brushing your teeth. There is also no space provided to store any toiletries.
The single beds were very comfortable. The double bed is a bit on the smaller side both in length and in width. The wardrobes were great and provided more than enough space for our clothes.
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. We were able to use the house as a wonderful and peaceful home from which we could explore Kent.
5.0 / 5.0
A comfortable stay in a quiet location, close to amenities in Sittingbourne and further afield. Will be back on a regular basis throughout 2024 if available.
