About this property
Seasalter 3.1 miles. Set in the rural village of Graveney, 4 Country View Park offers the perfect base for a countryside retreat to the luscious green county of Kent. Ideally situated within reaching distance of both the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the vibrant seaside town of Whitstable, this pretty ground-floor lodge is perfectly suited to a couple or a group of four. Keep warm from the heat of the classic electric fire as you settle into the stylish Laura Ashley sofas, turning on the flat-screen TV and impressive Bose sound system that rests within the cheerful yellow sitting room. Rustle up a hearty lunchtime snack in the charming kitchen, kitted out with all of the essentials for a stress-free self-catering stay, such as a sleek electric oven and a handy dishwasher, so there's no need to argue over who'll be doing the dishes. Take a seat at the sociable dining table and wash down your delicious meal with a hot cup of coffee from the lovely coffee maker, or spend your afternoons basking in the sunshine out on the decking, before delighting in diner alfresco with a perfectly chilled bottle of champagne, all whilst admiring the incredible views of the rolling English countryside. Discover two delightfully decorated double bedrooms to the back of the lodge, one benefiting from an airy en-suite shower room, whilst the other boasts an abundance of storage space. Indulge in a relaxing soak in the family bathroom or enjoy a refreshing rinse under the shower, before getting ready for a fun-filled day of adventure. Head to the nearby town of Whitstable and wander along the buzzing local crafts market, before heading down to the Tankerton Beach to see the colourful beach huts that line the soft white sands. Treat yourself to an evening of wining and dining at one of the popular seafood restaurants in the area or stop by the local fish market for some fresh ingredients ahead of a quiet night indoors. Travel deep into the Kent Downs and uncover breath-taking vistas and miles of unspoiled lands, or head into the historical city of Canterbury for a tour of the grand Canterbury Cathedral and a tour of the imposing ruins of St Augustine's Abbey.

Robert
It was situated in a quiet spot. The owner welcomed us with a food hamper which was unexpected and very generous. However the only down side were the showers, the en suite was too small and the showers were temperamental, going hot and cold, possibly due to the boiler. We would recommend that electric showers are fitted as we found the current ones unsafe.

We found it to be a very comfortable & well equipped with good quality bedding & towels and plenty of hot water. Fans were provided for when it was hot but as it got colder it was easy to heat so felt very cosy. The only thing to note is that the bedrooms are very small, they had plenty of wardrobe space but floor space was very limited, especially around the bed in the second room. There is a nice outside space with seating provided which unfortunately due to the weather we were unable to make use of. There was good safe parking but not right outside the property. The whole development looked neat and well cared for and we had a good weeks holiday.

Was a bit surprised to no washing machine,but had a dish washer,which we never use.As we pack as light as possible we always do washing when away.We had to go and buy a clothes airer and wash bits by hand.Did find the ensuite shower quite cramped,and smallest bed to small.It is an extremely hot property,and was thankful for the fans provided.There was a problem most evenings and a couple of times in early hours of morning ( 4.50 am) we was woke up by nearby dogs howling and barking !! Also the the internet needed rebooting 7 to 8 times every evening,which was a bit annoying.
