Experience a slice of the Good Life when you stay at Rabbit Hole – a newly converted barn situated on the owners small holding with amazing views of the Kent countryside and distant sea views over Pegwell Bay. This truly is a rural idyll, set amongst picturesque scenery. East Studdal is a small village in a great location for enjoying this part of the East Kent countryside. The coastal Georgian town of Deal is just a 15 minute drive away, with its wide promenade, beach and pier. The village of Kingsdown is just a 10 minutes drive, with The Zetland Arms being one of the few UK puns actually sat on the beach and overlooked by the stunning white chalk cliffs. The barn has a lovely sociable open plan living space with great views, two bedrooms and shower room. Outside is the garden area with seating and BBQ where you can relax and soak up the peace and quiet and the views. Walkers and cyclists will love Rabbit Hole as there are lots of footpaths, and cycle tracks to explore. There is ample parking for two cars. Please note: the small holding has sheep, chickens and pigs all fenced in, and whilst dogs are welcome, they must be small to medium and good around livestock, especially the sheep, as the fence is not high.

A unique place to stay
A unique place to stay. A beautiful rural location with amazing views across the countryside to Pegwell Bay. Every evening we were treated to a spectaculr sunset. The cottage was super clean and the living area was bigger than the photos indicated. Also it was well equipped with the basics like foil and kitchen roll. We often ate in and we had everything we needed to cook. Our visit coincided with very hot weather and it was lovely to enjoy the outside space, eat in the garden and appreciate the peace and quiet. Whilst the lovely owners live next door, it is very private and secluded. Deal and St Margaret's Bay are just 13 mins away so it is an excellent base for exploring. Would love to visit again in the autumn with the log burner on and the autumn colours.
