Description

Dover 4.9 miles.

Tucked away amongst the generous grounds of the owner’s home, in the peaceful hamlet of Ewell Mminis, rests this delightful single-storey holiday home, Sleepy Hollow.

Enjoying a rural countryside position whilst situated within close proximity to the historic coastal town of Dover, Sleepy Hollow offers an intimate base for a couple seeking a romantic retreat.

Access your two off-road parking space through the private gated entrance before unloading your bags and making your way into your new home-from-home to begin your staycation.

Stepping inside, enter directly into the open-plan living/kitchen space, where you can look forward to kicking off your shoes following a day of adventure and unwinding with a sumptuous seat in front of the Smart TV.

Discover the well-equipped kitchen, beautifully-presented with contemporary gleaming white cupboards and contrasting wooden surfaces; here the designated chef can utilise the range of amenities provided to rustle up a romantic meal for two to be enjoyed over candlelight at the nearby dining table.

In the summer months, why not make mealtimes an alfresco affair by firing up the barbeque whilst you soak in the evening sunshine on the patio.

As the day draws to night, retreat indoors to discover two well-appointed bedrooms, a king-size and an intimate single, which pulls out into a snug double if required, serviced by a contemporary shower room fit with a spacious walk-in shower cubicle.

Take a break from doing the cooking and treat your loved one to a romantic meal for two at the local pub, The Marquis Of Granby, serving a selection of quintessentially British dishes in a historic setting, or for a spot of traditional pub grub, The Lydden Bell rests slightly further afield.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings, there is a large rural network of public footpaths and quiet lanes for cycling direct from the property and the area is a bird watcher's delight.

Alternatively enjoy a leisurely stroll through the well-kept grounds of the nearby Russell Gardens, adorned with an ornamental canal pond, pergola bridges and a delightful boathouse pavilion, forming a simply tranquil setting to walk hand-in-hand with your better half.

• Jump in the car and journey to the coastal town of Dover, where you can tour the labyrinthine war-time tunnels of Dover Castle, climb the triple helix staircase to reach the top of The Grand Shaft, a defence aid built in the 1800s towering over 140-ft, or marvel at the iconic whitewashed cliffs that adorn the coastline of the English Channel.

The Historic Canterbury is also nearby with its famous Cathedral, infamous witch ducking stool, boutique shops and restaurants.

If you're spoilt for time, why not catch the ferry over to France and embark on a European adventure?

Whether you're looking to unwind or explore, choose Sleepy Hollow as the base for your ideal staycation.

A delightful little cottage, clean and comfortable.

We would be very happy to stay there again.

The property was described as dog friendly and with an enclosed garden with parking for two cars.

There are no gates on the garden and we had problems getting our small car into the parking space. I cannot see two cars being able to park there. Dogs are not allowed to do their toilet in the yard and owners are expected to either climb over a five bar gate into the adjacent field or push through an overgrown hedge into the next field to let their dogs relieve themselves. We ended up taking our lives in our hands and walking along the very narrow and winding road instead. We had to ask for a torch as there is no lighting in the area. There are plenty of plates, bowls and knives and forks but only four cups, so we were constantly washing these up. There are the basic cooking utensils but no scissors so all packets had to be opened with one of the knives on the chopping board. Plan your visits before you come as the internet connection is not reliable. The TV also depends on the internet and we ended up playing the games provided as we were unable to watch very much TV. Had we known all this beforehand we would not have booked the cottage.
