Harrier’s Nest is a peaceful retreat where you can truly switch off and unwind. Set at the end of a quiet country lane in the tiny hamlet of Harty, this charming, wood-clad cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing break - beautiful views, cosy interiors, and easy access to countryside walks, quiet beaches and the award-winning Ferry House restaurant just a short stroll away.
Please note, The Ferry House will close for regular dining from April 2026, reopening on select dates for special events. Private dining for larger groups may be offered, subject to availability – please contact us for further details. In-cottage catering will still be available.
Sleeping 4+ guests in two welcoming bedrooms, Harrier’s Nest is perfect for couples or families seeking time out from the everyday. The cottage is light and airy, with views of open farmland from every window, and the layout offers a lovely balance of togetherness and space to do your own thing. Whether you're sharing meals around the table or reading a book in the garden, the pace here is gently unhurried.
Explore Harty & The Isle of Sheppey
Life on the Isle of Sheppey moves to a slower rhythm. Tucked between the coast and surrounding marshes, Harty is like an island within an island - quiet, scenic and rich in wildlife. Set out on foot or by bike along the flat, well-marked trails that loop through nature reserves and past estuary views stretching out to the Thames.
From birdwatching at Elmley and The Swale, to swimming at Leysdown-on-Sea or Minster Beach, or indulging in a long pub lunch at The Ferry House, your days can be as restful or as active as you like. There’s clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, golf and local museums all within 30 minutes, and Canterbury, Bluewater, and Maidstone are within easy reach for a change of pace.
Dog Friendly & Year-Round Comfort
Harrier’s Nest is dog friendly, with a fully fenced, dog-safe garden, and access to our bookable dog exercise paddock, open to all guests staying at Mocketts Farm. You might even spot hares, owls or other wildlife without leaving the garden.
The cottage is available to book all year round, with flexible rates and great value on multi-night stays, midweek escapes and last-minute getaways.
