The Old Piggery

Sister property to The Joiners Rest, The Old Piggery shares the same modern design philosophy and access to the secret garden swimming pool, while maintaining its own private hot tub and outdoor space. The larch-clad exterior opens into polished concrete and plywood interiors with textured fabrics and muted colour accents, creating contemporary comfort. The open-plan living space features a woodburner for cosy evenings and sliding doors opening onto your private dining terrace with views across the landscaped grounds. The well-equipped kitchen handles holiday cooking with ease, while the dining area seats families in farmhouse style. A king-size master bedroom on the ground floor provides quality rest, while a galleried mezzanine twin upstairs offers children their own space, accessed by open stairs. A ground-floor shower room serves all guests. Note the stairs are steep and open, worth considering for those with mobility concerns. Outside, your private terrace offers alfresco dining and evening drinks while watching the sunset. The private hot tub provides post-walk relaxation, while the shared secret garden opens May through September with its solar-heated swimming pool, outdoor sofas, and poolside games. Guests consistently praise the welcoming hosts and thoughtful touches, from fresh eggs and homemade bread to the quality of the beds and the warmth of the log burner. The North Downs Way reaches via footpaths from the door, while gastropubs two miles away offer evening dining without cooking. Canterbury's cathedral city atmosphere, Folkestone's creative quarter, and the beaches at Hythe all sit within easy reach for day trips. Book alongside The Joiners Rest for groups of eight, sharing the pool and gardens while maintaining separate living spaces.
