Description

Challock 1.6 miles.

Little Pontus is a quaint, annexe cottage settled in Molash near Challock, Kent.

Sitting within the Kent Downs AONB and surrounded by countryside, this pet-friendly cottage offers two guests a peaceful getaway with a beautifully furnished interior and a large, shared garden to enjoy a swimming pool and tennis court.

You'll find off-road parking on arrival as you walk through the garden and to the cottage entrance.

Inside, the contemporary kitchen/diner is fully equipped for home cooking and keeping your walking gear fresh, thanks to the integrated washing machine.

Serve romantic dinners at the table for two, or perhaps you'd prefer dining al fresco in the garden?

Although shared with the owner, guests are welcome to make use of the large, beautiful garden, whether that's cooking dinner on the barbecue, swimming in the outdoor unheated pool, playing tennis on the court, and wandering the fields beyond.

You can visit the greenhouses and pick from the vegetable patch with gardening gloves and tools provided.

Little Pontus also has a private, lawned garden just for guests with a shed to store bikes and walking equipment.

If you're visiting during the colder months, retreat to the light and welcoming sitting room with a sumptuous corner sofa, woodburning stove, and Smart TV for entertainment; musical guests are welcome to practise on the piano, too!

Climb the stairs to find a thoughtfully furnished, king-size bedroom with views of the idyllic gardens and white wooden furnishings.

In the mornings, freshen up in your en-suite shower room with a spacious walk-in shower to energise your day.

Little Pontus is a great base to explore Kent Downs AONB with walking and cycling paths from your doorstep, as well as traditional country pubs to take a break from the kitchen, such as The George Inn, The Halfway House in Challock, and The Wagon & Horses.

There are a range of attractions to visit in the Downs with Bluebell forest, Belmont House and Gardens, and Doddington Place Gardens at a Victorian Mansion.

Be sure to visit the picturesque Chilham with an ancient Castle offering tours and open days, or head to the Wye Downs nature reserve for scenic walks.

For a change of pace, head to the town of Ashford with restaurants ranging from Italian at Amici to Nepalese at Everest Inn Ashford, along with the Godinton House & Gardens, and Conningbrook Lakes Country Park.

Further afield, you'll find Faversham, the cathedral city of Canterbury, and the seaside town of Whitstable with lovely, shingle beaches.

Very comfortable stay in beautiful accommodation and beautiful garden.

Owner very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Good position for cycling on the Down’s and to the north Kent coast. Lots of walks nearby across the fields or from Chilham or by driving to the north coast. Canterbury worth a visit but parking and cathedral entry is expensive. Although we had brought our own, the bread and milk were welcome and the strawberries, apple juice and butter were a nice extra touch. The accommodation is very clean and well kept and there is everything you need. The only suggestions we would have would be a lidded pyrex dish for the microwave would be good as we needed to use plates as lids. For the winter months a light above the entrance steps would be safer as we had to be careful finding the steps when going out in the dark because the pir sensor doesn’t trigger the light until you are away from the door.

Little Pontus was a really comfortable, warm and clean place to stay.

It felt like we were staying in someone's home rather than in just a holiday property. Shari could not have been kinder or more helpful. Thank you so much for a really lovely week.

Little Pontus was just perfect from start to finish!

We have stayed in a lot of properties over the years and never had such thoughtful and generous provisions provided on arrival. Local honey, bread and butter, eggs, milk, fruit juice and home grown tomatoes in addition to good quality catering essentials of tea, coffee and olive oil. The lounge was beautiful with a fantastic comfy sofa and luxurious soft furnishings and fresh flowers. An interesting selection of books, board games and upstairs even bath robes! The grounds, tennis court and swimming pool were just fantastic and there were plenty of areas to sit and relax. We enjoyed every single minute of our stay thanks to Shari’s care and attention to every detail. Thank you
