    “We’ve just returned from three truly wonderful restful days staying in Bee Cottage.”

    Alan and Pam were utterly delightful and welcoming, as was the bottle of wine and biscuits that were waiting for us upon our arrival. The cottage had everything we needed, a well-equipped kitchen with microwave, hotplate/oven fridge etc. Plenty of cutlery, plates, pots and pans as well. The peace and quiet of the farm were just what we needed to recharge our batteries. We also had the run of the fields, so our greyhound was able to run around to his heart’s content.

    Alan and Pam were utterly delightful and welcoming, as was the bottle of wine and biscuits that were waiting for us upon our arrival. The cottage had everything we needed, a well-equipped kitchen with microwave, hotplate/oven fridge etc. Plenty of cutlery, plates, pots and pans as well. The peace and quiet of the farm were just what we needed to recharge our batteries. We also had the run of the fields, so our greyhound was able to run around to his heart’s content. Plenty of places to visit locally, Folkestone is only a 15-minute drive away. Plenty to see and do, and lots of good eating places. For us it was fish and chips by the harbour. It really has been a lovely time staying in Bee Cottage. We’ve come home with some wonderful happy memories. A huge thank you to Alan and Pam for all their time and effort. It’s been greatly appreciated. Simon, Susan and Woody the dog.

About the location

LYMINGE

Folkestone 5 miles; Hythe 6 miles; Canterbury 12 miles; Dover 14 miles; Ashford 15 miles; Ramsgate 21 miles; Whitstable 22 miles.

The village of Lyminge lies in southeast Kent and is only five miles from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel, on the road passing through the Elham Valley. Lyminge is surrounded by farmland and ancient forests. There is a wide variety of flora and fauna and wildlife in the surrounding area, including badgers, various species of deer and wild boar which are thought to have escaped from farmed populations. It is a thriving village with lots of local shops, a pub serving excellent food which also hosts regular event evenings, a coffee shop, a hairdressers and a library. The parish church is well worth a visit, being the oldest building in the village; it has stood since 633AD and has had a rich and varied past. Lyminge has been the focus of many archaeological digs in recent years, and jewellery, weapons and glassware have all been uncovered. Numerous footpaths and bridleways criss-cross the meadows and woods around this lovely part of Kent, so why not pack a picnic, dust off the metal detector, and set off to explore ancient woodland and see if you can find a piece of the past? Lyminge is perfectly situated for trips to historic towns and the coast. In less than 20 minutes you can be strolling along cobbled streets and admiring Canterbury Cathedral or lazing on a beach enjoying the sounds of waves as they wash against the shore. With the Channel Tunnel only five miles away, why don't you spend a day enjoying the delights of Belgium or France? Shop for cheese, wine and chocolates, saunter along by the Seine, dine alfresco at a quaint little bistro and still be home before the sun goes down. A wonderful holiday location.
