staying there

“something a little different, something a little special”

Your room

we offer our guests a luxurious, spacious ground floor room complete with an open plan en suite shower room - the inspiration for the room was a wall hanging purchased in Delhi hence the strong colour scheme including a hot pink rubber floor

facilities include wifi accessibility, TV/DVD, CD/Tuner including things to play, the means to make a variety of hot drinks, fresh fruit, biccies and other treats, use of robes, slippers and various toiletries (Space NK)

the house is only one room deep so it enjoys the morning sun to the front and sunsets to the rear - there is access to the rear garden via French windows in your room - seating is available for your use outside

Grub and glug

special emphasis is placed on local, and mostly, organic produce (Jamie and Hugh would be VERY pleased) - when on form our hens will provide your organic, free range eggs which are simply the best - most herbs used will be from our own garden otherwise our main source of fresh produce is the Goods Shed in Canterbury

breakfast will provide you with a choice of food both hot and cold - the latter may include a range of cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit, breads and preserves - drinks will include freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, teas and coffees

special dietary requirements will not be a problem at all - vegetarians, wheat free, whatever your needs

should you wish it and request in advance an evening meal can be prepared for you although this may not be possible every night! - our style is gastro and good - a warm chicken salad with an array of fresh leaves and herbs or a roast pheasant with garlic and olive oil baked potatoes served with fresh, seasonal veg - things to start and finish too if you wish - attention to detail is our thing so we hope you won’t be disappointed

there are many good pubs in the immediate area and Faversham and Canterbury have some particularly good restaurants but you will need transport to get to all of them

in the event that you have reached Pond Cottage by foot or bike we will provide a lift to a local hostelry foc

Extras

step outside and wander around: there are many varieties of fruit tree, a large natural pond and a rowing boat.....

wander further afield and there are no end of short walks to be taken to get some fresh air and to stretch the legs

for those wishing for more of a walking "workout" we can provide maps and books containing the relevant and necessary information (see Walking information under “the area")

for some serious pampering... for a little extra indulge yourselves - sip champagne whilst you wallow in a candlelit bath with views to the front of the house

and... after a day's walking or simply because you deserve it an on site massage can be arranged for you with a qualified therapist

Laundry

for guests staying longer than 24 hours we will happily wash and dry clothes for a small fee (see Rates and Reservations) - if clothes simply need drying overnight we can do this for you too - all part of the service!
