Further details for this holiday cottage rental in Dover, United Kingdom

Kent is England's oldest county, and know as the Garden of England. With a mild maritime climate, it is a beautiful county of countryside, woodland, village and vineyard, orchards and oasthouses. It also has miles and miles of spectacular and diverse coastline to explore, including the internationally famous White Cliffs of Dover, an iconic emblem of our shores. The beach at nearby St Margaret's is the closest point to France, and the South Foreland Lighthouse is the first place in the country to see the sunrise every day because of its location in the very south east corner of England. Children will love the beaches, boat trips and countryside, and there are several castles to visit as well as Dover Castle, including lovely Leeds Castle, set in 500 acres of parkland, and Deal and Walmer Castles. Canterbury is a must to visit with its famous Cathedral, and also try Historic Chatham Dockyard where the flagship of the Royal Navy fleet, Nelson's HMS Victory, was built.

There's the Thanet coastline to explore with many award winning sandy beaches, and Whitstable famous for oysters. South of Dover is Rye, with charming little streets and shops, and Winchelsea, a Napoleanic garrison town. If you're a cyclist, try the Crab and Winkle Way, as well as many coastal and country trails. If you sigh wistfully at the sight and sound of steam trains, visit Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, Kent's mainline in miniature.

For garden lovers, you'll be spoilt for choice! Spend a delightful day at Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens, and also beautiful Goodnestone.

Ideal self-catering accommodation for 2012 Olympics - the Olympic torch is coming to Dover, with a spectacular fireworks display over the world famous harbour, in July. Please enquire for rates. We are also proprietors of St Cuby holiday apartment in Broadstairs - awarded the prestigious Five Star Gold award by Visit Britain in November 2009 and again in 2010, currently let to a long term tenant. The cottage is ideally situated for everyone to experience the miles and miles of diverse scenery, history and culture of this famous Cinque Port.

PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY HAS BUNK BEDS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 5. HOWEVER IT IS SUITABLE FOR BABIES AS THERE IS A COT AVAILABLE.

Other Activities:

Rambling, hiking, bird watching, boat trips, seal watching, fishing

Beautiful and relaxed stay

Review Submitted: September 7, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We had a really beautiful and relaxed stay here at Fox's Crossing - it was nice to walk along the White Cliffs and a great opportunity to get to know England - the scenery from the hill to the sea is fantastic. But we always loved to come "home" to Fox's Crossing. Thank you for everything, and for your great hospitality.
