Welcome To Yockletts Farm Self Catering Holiday Cottage near Canterbury

The Granary is a LUXURIOUS SELF CATERING HOLIDAY COTTAGE FOR 4 IN A HAVEN OF PEACE AND TRANQUILLITY.

Situated outside the village of Waltham near Canterbury, 17th. century Yockletts Farm is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty over looking Yockletts Bank nature reserve with its wonderful orchids, wildlife and footpaths.

The farm itself is mainly laid to arable, once being hop gardens, with the remains of an old twin kiln oast of years gone by. We graze cattle on the gently sloping fields, with plenty of easily accessible footpaths all around so you can enjoy some of the most beautiful views in Kent. It is also a wonderful area to cycle or horse ride.

There are a number of excellent pubs within easy reach, one being a high class French restaurant, a must for a special occasion. There is also a post office and general store with newsagent in Stelling Minnis village.
