PERFECT FOR … A COUNTRYSIDE ESCAPE
Orchard Pickers Cottage at the Iffin Farmhouse , Canterbury iffin . co . uk
TREEHOUSE HIDEAWAY THE BLUE PELICAN
A converted cottage on the outskirts of the historical city of Canterbury , Orchard Pickers Cottage is an excellent choice for couples seeking a true escape to the Kentish countryside . Accessed via a narrow lane , the cottage is set back at the end of an orchard where guests will discover its openplan layout , king-size bed , fireplace and kitchenette . Beside the cottage stands a wooden summer house , which guests have full access to during their stay . Including two cosy sofas and a TV , as well as books and DVDs , the summer house is the perfect place to lounge in comfort as the sun rises and sets over the orchard . New to the cottage is their private hot tub , providing a bubbly respite for guests at an extra cost of £ 10 per night .
Secluded from the hustle and bustle of Canterbury ’ s city centre , yet only a 10-minute drive away , Orchard Pickers Cottage is the perfect template for an outdoor escape that doesn ’ t leave guests completely secluded from the outside world . With the company of Iffin Farmhouse ’ s sheep , donkey and resident pony in the adjacent field , couples won ’ t feel entirely isolated during this countryside escape , but equally won ’ t have to share their space .
