About this property

Pet friendly 1 bed cottage in Sellindge, Kent

Dolly Plum Cottage is a detached former agricultural building that has been converted into a delightful 1 bed cottage and is ideally situated to explore the many attractions located in this beautiful part of Kent.
Just off the beaten track but with quick and easy access to the main road and motorway
Standing in its own grounds the front door leads to a bright living area with a bathroom off to the front and a modern well equipped kitchen to the rear, overlooking the large private garden. A narrow wooden staircase leads to the double bed on a mezzanine level - please note this sleeping area is not therefore suitable for those with mobility issues. There is also a double bed settee in the living area.
Off road parking is available next to the cottage and patio furniture and BBQ are available.
Only a few steps from the front door is the first of many footpaths that will lead you into the Weald of Kent or if you prefer to venture further afield, EuroTunnel & Ferry Ports are only a short drive away for a day trip to France not forgetting that it’s just a 40min train journey from Ashford station to London.
Pet friendly. Please inquire before booking if you wish to bring your pet.

A few days stay at Dolly Plum cottage.

It was a cute, charming almost eccentric little place. It had everything we needed, plus we were quite lucky with the weather. Even our little dog seemed to love it there and looked forward to visiting the resident chickens. All in all it was what we had hoped for. We would be happy to stay there again in the future.

We were very happy to stay at this lovely cottage. Mark welcomed us warmly and he showed us the cottage and the beautiful big garden and his chickens. The cottage is located in a quiet area and is wonderful calm. Our dog loved exploring the garden and felt very good. Our daughters loved to sleep upstairs, it was so cosy. It was the perfect location for us to explore London. Thank you very much for everything Mark and Jill, we had a wonderful time !

We spent a relaxing week at Dolly Plum Cottage. Our dog enjoyed running around in the large garden. Mark was a warm host and greeted us with ice cream. We were also able to try the house's own honey. The house is beautifully situated for excursions and not far from the sea.

Excellent Place and Location

The cottage is delightful, its cosy and comfortable. The stairs are very steep up to the bedroom and so, given my age, I decided to sleep downstairs and was very happy with that arrangement. It is very well equipped, I had a wonderful five nights and would definitely stay again. The dogs loved the grassy area in the back for a run and Mark was a thoughtful, kind host, very responsive and helpful during my stay.

Fantastic weekend getaway

Mark and Gill have a lovely cottage full of character. Mark was welcoming and showed us around, he was mindful that we had a toddler with us and explained how to use the facilities. He was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is amazing within short distance to Safari, beach and nearby towns. There is place to play that my toddler loved to kick his football around. We had an amazing break thank you

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Gill Potter

Host profile image
We moved to Kent in 2010 following many years serving abroad in the armed forces. We have had a wide variety of pets and welcome all house trained pets with well behaved owners!

Why they chose this property

Just minutes from the main road and good access to the motorway yet in a secluded country position with its own large private garden. We fell in love with the cottage when we were looking for a small plot of land to grow our own produce and keep some chickens.

What makes this property unique

Dolly Plum Cottage is like a tardis – at first sight it appears quite small, but the open beamed ceiling and windows to 3 sides of the lounge makes it feel a lot larger on the inside although retaining its character – the mezzanine bedroom definitely gives it a romantic feel!
