A lovely little gem, clean as a whistle, peaceful and relaxing. Our multi generational family had a great break enjoying the beautiful countryside and various attractions. The little extras like stock cubes and condiments were very helpful and the wine and biscuits delightful. Thank you!

Lovely cottage, clean and well presented.
Lovely cottage, clean and well presented. Location is very rural, despite being only seven miles from Canterbury. Great for days out in Canterbury, White Cliffs of Dover and more. Excellent farm shop two miles away for all your food and household needs. Not much garden at all, however there is a bench table ideally placed for all day sunshine and an area covered by overhanging side roof which is lovely for sitting outside in more inclement weather. Excellent countryside walking from the house. All bedrooms were a very good size.Minor negatives… The beds were all standard doubles, whereas most properties we rent these days have Queen or King beds in at least one room. Some of the furniture and crockery was starting to look a little tired.Owners were fantastic, very helpful, extremely quick to respond to questions.

From the moment we arrived the house and surroundings looked great. The house itself was clean and tidy. You can't think of anything that isn't there. Chrissie kept us well informed, such as maintenance on the power network. There is also a lot to do and see in the area. It was a beautiful week.
