Description The Elm & the Vine: Ottinge

If you’re looking for an idyllic country home, then look no further. This thatched barn conversion dating from the 1600s, has a picture-perfect shared garden and stunning Kent countryside views. As you’d expect, the inside is full of character, but if you’re tall, you’ll need to be mindful of the low beams. This place is ideal for families, which reminds us – there’s a trundle bed in bedroom three for two guests, so it’s probably better suited for kids. When you feel like exploring the area, the market town of Hythe with its shops, restaurants and wonderful beaches is 6 miles away.

Home truths:
*The barns here share a central courtyard, off-road parking area and a spacious rear lawned garden, yet there is plenty of space for guests to enjoy their own privacy. The patio is private to the barn.
*Bedroom three has a single trundle bed.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
