Pet-friendly and surrounded by scenic countryside walks. Ideal for exploring Canterbury, Dover, and Folkestone—perfect for a cosy rural escape in the gorgeous Kent countryside.

    Dog Friendly

    Perfect for couples looking to explore a Country, City & Coastal break

    Welcome to our cosy farm cottage—perfect for a couple or single person looking for a relaxing countryside escape. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area features a welcoming electric fire plus wall radiators in the main rooms.

    The well-equipped kitchen includes a washing machine, oven, hob, toaster, kettle, and microwave—everything you need for a comfortable self-catering stay.

    The cottage offers a cosy bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and connection, it’s the perfect base to unwind and explore.

    Our farm cottage is one of four charming cottages arranged around a shared courtyard. The setting is truly rural, surrounded by beautiful countryside walks, with friendly farm animals on-site. Our peaceful location is just a short drive to major attractions—10 to 20 minutes—from Canterbury, Folkestone, and Dover.

    Please check out our other listings, The Dairy and The Sheep Shed.

    Full and private access to The Goose Shed cottage.

    Outside the cottage, you’ll find a fully paved shared courtyard. Just outside the front of the cottage we supply a bench—perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or relaxing outdoors.

    Free parking - shared car park - The Goose Shed has a maximum of 1 car park space (additional spaces can be made available upon request).

    There are two farm houses on the site, these properties, and their gardens, are private residences.

    All dogs must be kept on a lead and under control when on the farm as there are other animals living on the farm.

    Our farm cottages are managed by Rachel and Spencer from Key Retreats Ltd. We offer self check-in and available to respond to messages during your stay.

    The cottage is located within a retired farm where there are permanent residents plus there is a shared courtyard shared by the 4 farm cottages, including The Sheep Shed. The permanent residents are friendly and welcoming, however any guest queries should be via Rachel and Spencer from Key Retreats Ltd.

    Pets are welcome. They must be kept under control and on a lead when outside the property.

    There are lots of wonderful walks in the area and you can reach a footpath within 100 metres of the cottage.

    The lovely village of Stelling Minnis is easy to walk to and has a village shop and pub (only serves drinks - no food). The surrounding villages and towns have many lovely country pubs and cafes to enjoy and explore.
    Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead and under control on the farm as there are other dogs and animals living on the farm.

    Please don’t leave your dog unattended in the property for long periods of time. Distressed dogs bark and whine and this creates anxiety amongst the other farm animals.

    Any dog mess must be cleared up immediately.
