The historic, charming town of Sandwich, a 5-minute drive away, is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Britain, with its pretty streets lined with historic buildings and quaint cottages, set back from, and overlooking the quay, with a choice of independent restaurants, cafés, pubs and individual shops. There are boat trips from Sandwich taking you to marvel at the seals lining the edge of Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve, a real sight to see. For a day at the beach, Sandwich Bay is certainly worth a visit, whilst the shingled beach at Deal is also nearby, within a 15-minute drive; as well as the vibrant, creative centre of Deal, with intriguing art galleries, boutique shops, and excellent eateries. The Honey House really is in an ideal position for exploring much of Kent’s hot spots, coast, and countryside.

Myself and a friend stayed over Christmas and was very disappointed that there was nothing festive either inside or outside the property, apart from a pack of mince pies in the small welcome pack. Also disappointed in the description of the walks available in the area, these are not readily available especially in midwinter and having to cross a B road to access these. The accommodation was sufficient for our 5 day stay, however some small additions like Xmas decs would have helped somewhat. Although the property was clean it was a basic clean and the sofa could do with being moved, along with the blinds. An air fryer would have been a big addition and also working Netflix, especially for this period of the year. All being said we made our own Christmas, would we go again, afraid to say No. We would recommend, just do your own research into the area and if its dog walks you want, research some more. Unfortunately it would appear I didnt do enough research.

Good accommodation, only downfall was seating, not comfortable but everything else was very good and had all that was required. Had a lovely gift pack on arrival, thank you.If you go in dark evenings hard to find, needs better signage into property, it would be handy to know of roadworks in advance too.
