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.
Welcome basket on arrival
All of the energy/heating supplied to the cottage is electric. Due to the huge increases in Electric charges we have introduced a fair usage policy to cover excessive use of heating and electric vehicle charging.
Upon your arrival and departure a meter reading will be taken, a £15 per day allowance will be given which should cover most people's needs. Anything above this will need to be paid at departure or deducted from any deposit.

Quiet and comfortable country stay

We wanted a quiet place over Christmas and this venue is ideal for those who peace and quiet. The bathroom and kitchen are both excellent is size. The kitchen has everything you need. We didn't play any of the well-stocked games as we went out to places one of us was brought up in, then visited family. The chickens are wonderful.

Fabulous little cottage in Ashford

We really enjoyed our stay here. Had everything we need, the owners Mark and Gill even left us snacks as we unpack. My kids felt sad upon leaving as they also enjoyed feeding the chicken. Thank you so much!! Had a really great time! We definitely book again!

Homely Cottage

It was a home away from home. All that we needed and more was there. You could see the thoughtfulness in every aspect of the cottage. Our children (age 5 and 7) enjoyed the outdoors, they found family games and children's DVD's in the cupboard. Close proximity to Port Lymph Safari (10 mins drive), so it was just ideal for us. Excellent stay for a family of four. The host (Gill and Mark) were so kind and friendly, even left milk, tea, snacks and orange juice for us in case we didnt get the chance to do so.

We stayed for three nights and only left the cottage for walks. It had all we needed for a bolt hole and time out. Stairs a bit steep, but manageable. Will likely return on a regular basis. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Arrived the day our Queen Died.

Just as described and a bit more. Simple to find just off the A20 half way between Ashford and Folkestone. Great safe open gardens, Mark also looks after rescue chickens. Great WiFi and TV signal so able to keep updated with the news re the loss of our Queen Elizabeth 11. Visited Hythe, Dymchurch, Rye and Camber Sands. Great local Pub 5 minutes drive or 20 minutes walk on the A20 called the Dukes Head, even let you take your dog in. Nice people with good range of food and drinks. The way Mark greeted us was second so friendly and the property has everything for you and your pets, even towels for us both and our dog. Perfect thanks again Mark & Gill. Regards Bob, Carol and Bertie the dog.

I found the property pretty however the cottage does need a deep clean and the outside of the property looks nothing like the pictures . I understand there are hens etc which are beautiful but there is a lot of rubbish outside. The area is great lots of places to visit but the attention to detail in the cottage is not that good. I cleaned the bathroom and it looked better. We are a fit couple but the stairs and bedroom are not easy to get to. As I said it could be a delightful place but needs some attention.

Wow home from home

My partner and I needed interim accommodation for a week due to selling and completing on our home. We stumbled on Marks cottage by accident and let me tell you what an experience. From the onset MARK was professional courteous and responsive. We arrived at the appropriate check in time and found a stunning cottage with all the desired amenities to suit our stay. A welcome basket was tastefully selected and provided as was basic stuff such as kitchen towels/washing up liquid towels etc. my partner and I are Carribean born so you can imagine our delight at the sound of the chicken , roosters, birds etc😂didn’t even mind being rudely awakened by them😩😀. Our 20 month old granddaughter visited also and had a ball, goodness it filled me with such joy watching her as I too had that freedom growing up in the Carribean. There is no washing machine but we did well with what we had, as in all fairness sometimes one simply need to improvise and indulge outside of the modernity era. However, maybe not easy if travelling with children 😊 Mark thank you for your hospitality the numerous chats and your professionalism, we will most certainly be back.

Time to relax

The host Mark was really welcoming and the facilities and special touches like snacks milk fruit juice and fresh chicken eggs along with snacks for my dog. Would definitely recommend. The location for us was ideal, quiet and birdsong, sheep to hear and great garden for Dolly to play in. Location to Brockhill park, Hythe beach and other beaches great. Also Port Lympne animal Park nearby if you are travelling without a pet and also Rye not too far away. Gave me time to read, sketch and make memories with my puppy Dolly.

Cozy place for a peaceful getaway

Stayed in this lovely cottage for a week. Everything was spotless clean. The classic style make it very cozy and the property has a good size land for the dog to enjoy. Mark is a great host. Giving guests much privacy. As stated the loft is a bit narrow and the stairs to reach it can be tricky. But not a huge deal. We would come back for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Potter

Host profile image
Mark & Gill moved to Kent in 2010 following many years serving abroad in the armed forces. Since our 3 sons left home we have been able to indulge in our interest to have a small plot of land where we could try to live "The Good Life". We have had a wide variety of pets and currently have 3 dogs 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!
