1 / 24Lidwells Coach House
Goudhurst, Kent
A five star coach house for four near Goudhurst in the Kent Weald, with panoramic countryside views, a wood burner, a pretty enclosed garden and one dog welcome.
Footpaths lead away from the end of the garden at Lidwells Coach House, straight out into an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which gives any dog a fine start to the day. This five star holiday cottage sits in a secluded spot near the Kent village of Goudhurst, with panoramic views over the garden and countryside, and it welcomes four guests and one dog on a dog friendly break.
Inside, the light and airy main room takes in those views from kitchen, dining table and lounge alike. A dining table seats four, and armchairs gather by the wood burner, with a Bluetooth speaker for music, and the dog will claim the warmth on the first evening. Off this room are the utility and a ground floor WC, and along the hallway a second, cosy lounge has a Smart TV for family evenings. Upstairs, both bedrooms have en suites and fabulous countryside views. Dogs are asked to stay downstairs.
Patio doors open onto decking furnished for meals with a BBQ beside it, and beyond lies the pretty enclosed garden, where the dog can potter while supper cooks. At the far end, the owner's heated outdoor swimming pool can be used by arrangement from June to September.
Goudhurst has independent shops, cafes and restaurants, with spectacular views across the Kent Weald, and local vineyards are a short drive. Sissinghurst Castle and Gardens, Scotney Castle, Bedgebury Pinetum and Bewl Water are all within reach, the Kent and East Sussex Railway runs steam trains from Tenterden to Bodiam, and the footpaths from the garden give the dog fresh countryside every day.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Lidwells Coach House dog friendly?
Yes, Lidwells Coach House welcomes one dog. The property has an enclosed garden where your dog can be outside safely, and a gate at the far end opens directly onto High Weald footpaths, so you can head out without a lead or a car.
Are dogs allowed at Lidwells Coach House year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. What is noted as seasonal is access to the owners' swimming pool, which is available by arrangement through the summer months.
What should I know before visiting Lidwells Coach House with my dog?
The property accepts one dog, so it's not suited to multi-dog households. The enclosed garden gives your dog a secure outdoor space, and the gate onto the footpath network means serious walking is right on the doorstep — Bedgebury's waymarked trails and Scotney Castle are also within easy reach if you want to vary your routes.
