Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Harty, Fleet Lodge is a light-filled, beautifully converted barn with sweeping countryside views from every window. Sleeping six across three comfortable bedrooms (one with an ensuite), it’s a lovely spot for families or friends to escape the everyday and enjoy the slower pace of island life.
The cottage is one of five on the Mocketts Farm estate, where big skies, fresh air and wide open spaces come as standard. Booked on its own or alongside the other cottages, Fleet Lodge offers flexible space for everything from quiet weekends to full-family celebrations - our whole site sleeps up to 53 guests, making it ideal for Christmas gatherings, milestone birthdays or simply bringing far-flung loved ones together.
Just a short stroll down the lane, you’ll find The Ferry House - our 2AA Rosette pub and restaurant - where seasonal dishes are crafted using ingredients from our own kitchen garden, farm and surrounding estate.
Explore Harty & Beyond
Fleet Lodge is perfectly placed to explore the natural beauty of the Isle of Sheppey. From the doorstep, you can walk to the 900-year-old St Thomas’ Church or set out along the circular Isle of Harty Trail - a gentle, mostly traffic-free route that loops past Leysdown Beach and RSPB’s “raptor point,” where Marsh Harriers and other rare birds can be spotted soaring above the marshes.
The island is a haven for nature lovers, with Elmley and Swale Nature Reserves nearby and wildlife often visiting the garden - owls, hares, rabbits and ducks are regular guests. Whether you’re walking, cycling, birdwatching or simply enjoying the peace with a cup of tea in the garden, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and reconnect.
There are plenty of local attractions to enjoy, from mini golf at Leysdown-on-Sea and boat trips from Chatham Marina, to historic sites like Minster Abbey and Eastchurch Aviation Museum. For a day out further afield, you’re within an hour’s drive of Canterbury, Rochester, or even the sandy beaches of Broadstairs and Margate.
Dog Friendly, Family Friendly, Year-Round Comfort
Fleet Lodge is dog friendly and has a fully-fenced, dog-safe garden. All guests are also welcome to book time in our dedicated dog exercise paddock on site. Inside, the cottage is well-equipped and welcoming in every season - perfect for midweek breaks, spontaneous escapes or longer stays.
With flexible booking options and great value year-round rates - including discounts for multi-night stays, midweek breaks and last-minute trips - Fleet Lodge is a place to make lasting memories, whenever you choose to visit.
