About this property

St Margaret's at Cliffe 1.6 miles. Lying on the stunning grounds of the Solton Manor house near St Margaret’s at Cliffe in Kent is Dovecote.

After exploring the surrounding attractions, cross the threshold into the open-plan living space where you can unwind on the plush sofa while the designated chef works their magic in the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather the family around the dining table to enjoy this meal and reminisce on the memories you have created, before stepping outside to your private patio where you can toast your getaway with a glass of fizz while marvelling at the impressive architecture of the Grade II listed Solton Manor. When sleep calls, travel upstairs where a king-size and a twin bedroom await, both are bright and airy thanks to the Velux window and have plenty of storage to house your belongings; this floor is completed by a sleek, mosaic tiled shower room.
