Here you will find your very own secret garden, a perfect retreat into countryside tranquillity – well away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The medieval local village of Staple has a friendly pub/restaurant and Wingham and Sandwich are a short drive away.

Even France is accessible with the Eurotunnel, and the ports at Dover and Folkestone close by. There is a bus stop within walking distance with buses running to Sandwich and Canterbury.

Gamekeeper's Cottage Reviews
very friendly and helpful host and very comfortable cottage. Really enjoyed our stay.If I was to have any critisism, the shower was very weak but not something that would stop me staying again.
Lovely, small and cosy cottage. I stayed during a storm and thanks to the wood burner the cottage was warm and cosy. The bed is comfy and it’s super quiet for a good night‘s sleep. The big walled garden must be amazing to sit in in the summer! Canterbury isn’t far and the nearest beaches are only around half an hour drive away. There’s plenty of hiking opportunities, too. I’d love to come back.
First impression was a bit disappointing due to its very compact size and lack of cooking facilities especially when eating out is a bit complex at this challenging time. A more modern hob and oven would have been preferable but the cottage grew on me. It's cosy especially with the log burner going on a wet evening. It was clean and bed was comfy. Shame about the sofa bring a touch uncomfortable for relaxing on. A nice getaway for a few nights in the quiet of the countryside and a lovely secluded garden with the right weather. We should have gone in May so our experience would probably have been very different . Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
