Annie's Cottage, Well Cottage and The Chapel, are all part of this historic grade II listed building known as Manston Court. The property is situated on the edge of Manston Village, which is centrally located on the Isle of Thanet, giving easy access to the variety of local sandy beaches and costal villages. Dover and Folkestone are only a 30 and 45 minute drive away, for those who would like to venture further afield, and the historic City of Canterbury is even closer, if a day of culture or shopping is what is required. But for those wanting to stay closer to home, Westwood Cross Shopping Centre is only 2 miles away, with its many shops, restaurants and a multi screen cinema.
Annie's Cottage at Manston Court is the larger of the two, one bedroomed cottages, sleeping 2 to 4 people. It has a wealth of exposed brick work, beams and flint walls, adding to the character of the property. Annie's Cottage is an ideal place for a relaxing romantic break, and with the bed settee in the sitting room, it gives this cottage the flexibility of having additional guests. Annies Cottage has a 4 Star rating from the English Tourism Council. www.qualityintourism.com. For further details, please click on 'Annies Cottage' at the top of the page.
Well Cottage which also sleeps 2 to 4 people, has a different sort of charm. Although it is a former well house and pump room, and sits above a 200' capped well, it is more modern in character than Annie's Cottage. Well Cottage is all on one level, and is particularly popular with guests who have mobility issues. Like Annies Cottage, the bed/settee in the sitting room, allows for additional guests. Well Cottage has a 3 star rating from the English Tourism Council, www.qualityintourism.com. For further details, please click on the 'Well Cottage' link at the top of the page.
The Chapel (the building with the tallest roof), sleeps between 6 and 10 people, and was converted in 2009 into a luxury, three bedroom, self catering property. This building is the oldest in Manston Court, and dates back to the 13th century. The full size pool table, Wii and play station, makes this lovely property perfect for both young families, as well as entertaining adults. The main bedroom on the first floor has a king size 4 poster bed and a chandelier. All of the bedrooms are double in size, and the two bedrooms on the second floor have 5 foot zip link beds, allowing them to either remain as a double, or to become two singles. All bedrooms have their own ensuite, as well as a 22 inch television with an inbuilt dvd. To allow for greater flexibility, there are two single 3 foot portable beds, a 4 foot double portable bed, and a travel cot available, allowing for additional guests in any of the rooms. For further details, please click on 'The Chapel' link at the top of the page.
These properties can all be rented out individually, or as a group for a special occasion or holiday.
