The Granary 
ST MARGARETS AT CLIFFE

At the end of a long hedge-lined driveway lies another world: a peaceful cottage where horses graze beyond the windows and the White Cliffs are on your doorstep.
Sleeps 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 1.5 Bathrooms | Private Parking | Country Setting | Private Path to the White Cliffs
 
Set within a beautifully converted barn on a private Kentish farm, The Granary is one of five thoughtfully styled cottages tucked away in this serene, green corner of St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe. Travel down the long, hedge-lined driveway and you arrive at a farm with roots in the 1800s, once known as “Britain’s Frontline Farm”.   No longer worked, it’s now lovingly restored and cared for by the same family who’ve held it for generations.
 
Inside, The Granary is all soothing colours, exposed beams and inviting cottage-style comfort. The open-plan living area feels both airy and intimate, with soft sofas, a smart TV and a well-equipped kitchen for relaxed evenings in. The dining table at its heart is made for slow breakfasts and quiet dinners, and the bedrooms are light and spacious, dressed in crisp white linen. Horses graze from the back windows, the manicured gardens fill the view from the front, and birdsong does the rest. Beyond the lavender-edged door: There’s no private garden, but you have your own front lawn and seating to catch the sun, plus private parking. A path leads straight into the woodland and on to the famous White Cliffs, with South Foreland Lighthouse and St Margarets Bay both a short walk away.
 
The Granary is for the guest who wants to unwind, recharge and reconnect.   To walk the cliffs, lose an afternoon to a book, and let the world fall quietly away.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where exactly is The Granary?
The Granary sits within a converted barn on a private farm in St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe, at the end of a long hedge-lined driveway. It’s tucked into a serene, green corner of the Kent countryside, moments from the White Cliffs, roughly fifteen minutes from Deal and a short drive from Dover.
 
How far is The Granary from the beach?
A gentle countryside walk takes you down to St Margaret’s Bay, a peaceful shingle cove with the Coastguard Inn nestled right on the shore. Kingsdown beach is also reachable on foot along the cliff-top path.
 
How far is The Granary from Deal?
Deal is about a ten-minute drive away, where you’ll find independent shops, restaurants and the Saturday market. You can also walk there across the cliffs for the scenic route.
 
Can I walk to Dover Castle and the White Cliffs from The Granary?
Yes — one of the great joys of staying here. A private path leads straight from the cottage into woodland and out onto the famous White Cliffs. From there you can walk the whole length of the cliffs, finishing at the Dover White Cliffs visitor centre, or carry on to Dover Castle itself. South Foreland Lighthouse is a short walk along the way.
 
Is The Granary suitable for babies and young children?
Yes — all ages are welcome. The Granary is a family-friendly cottage sleeping six, with space to accommodate a travel cot. Please get in touch before booking to confirm arrangements.
 
Is The Granary dog friendly?
Yes. Well-behaved dogs are warmly welcomed, so you can bring the whole family along for cliff-top walks.
 
What is St Margaret’s Bay like?
St Margaret’s Bay is a quiet shingle cove framed by the White Cliffs — one of the most unspoiled spots on the Kent coast. The Coastguard Inn sits right in the bay, serving a wonderful local menu with the sea on your doorstep.
 
What train station serves The Granary?
The best station is Martin Mill, just a short taxi ride from the cottage.  Dover Priory is also close by and well connected, with taxis available from there too.

Yes. Private parking is available at the cottage.
