A peaceful, gated chalet tucked into the hillside at Blean, with sweeping views over farmland and the Ancient Forest. Book direct with Kevin & Meg.
The Den
The Den is a detached first floor annex at our property in Blean. From the top step, you'll catch gorgeous views across open farmland and the edge of the Ancient Forest of Blean, one of Kent's most remarkable landscapes. Equally distant between Canterbury and Whitstable, both with fast links to London — 52 minutes to St Pancras by High Speed, or London Bridge by fast train. For the Continent, you're just 30 minutes from Dover docks or the Folkestone Le Shuttle.
It sleeps two guests in comfort. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with navy blue units, a coffee machine, microwave oven, toaster, fridge, and everything you need to make yourself at home. Enjoy waking up looking over open farmland, or sitting outside in your very own private space.
The property is gated with CCTV for peace of mind, and there's free off-road parking on site — a genuine rarity in this part of Kent.
