From the owner

Mill Cottage is a cosy barn conversion located at the bottom of a shared driveway in the grounds of Swingate Mill, surrounded by fields with neighbouring horses and sheep overlooking the Kent countryside. It is ideally located for visiting the White Cliffs of Dover, Dover castle and nearby beaches in St Margaret's Bay and Kingsdown. The historic towns of Deal and Sandwich are close by, with Whitstable, Canterbury and Broadstairs also within easy reach.

The cottage itself has been lovingly refurbished by the present owners, providing a perfect country bolthole for one or two people.

It would also be ideal for someone working temporarily in the area. If you would like a Monday to Friday rate for a business stay please contact us.

Interaction with guest

We want you to feel at home in the cottage and we respect our guest’s privacy. You can let yourselves in via the lockbox and just relax. There’s a folder in the cottage containing local information and how things work in the cottage and I am contactable by phone if you need help with anything once you’ve arrived. Alternatively, I am happy to meet with you on arrival or during your stay if you prefer.
