Just 9 years ago and to Celebrate the Millennium a new building a companion for the old – was erected, the first at Dode in over 650 years. Beautifully crafted in English Oak and with traditional materials and ironwork the Retreat was specifically designed to promote inward reflection whilst offering unparalleled views and complete serenity in this most remote of Kentish locations. Each of the two cottages contains a Sitting room, Kitchen area, a bedroom (low headroom!) and a shower/w.c. Each is fully equipped to a high standard.

The Retreats were architect designed to the specific and exacting specification of the Owner, Douglas Chapman. A blueprint of 10 features (which would probably in todays mass produced and “compliant” age be considered unusual) included the brief to use as far as possible wholly sustainable or re-claimed materials; the requirement for the sleeping areas to be completely dark at night by the use of medieval style shutters; and the therapeutic affect of rain falling on the roof and dripping from the eaves to be heard internally, in other words to take our guests back to a bygone and simpler age, whilst providing all modern conveniences.
