If you're looking for peace and quiet. This is the place. If you want security for your doggies, brilliant! Also you won't need to bring anything but yourselves.

Really spacious rural property with a beautiful garden, we drove to several seaside destinations all within a 40 minute drive and there are a couple of really nice local pubs but do need to drive. Fantastic place especially if your a dog owner

Lovely place to stay

We had a wonderful three night stay at Garland's Retreat over the Easter weekend. The bungalow is very clean and had everything we needed (and more). It was a great base for us to explore Dover and Deal castles and we also managed a trip to Sandwich. Yes, the WiFi is patchy, sometimes non-existent, but it certainly didn't impact our break. I'm so glad we booked - it's a beautiful place to stay.

Lovely rural location

Bungalow was well equipped. Very warm and light. Our dog enjoyed the fully enclosed garden and we enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine on comfy garden chairs. The one level was perfect for my elderly parents.

Lovely countryside retreat

We stayed for 4 nights in November. Was a lovely clean property with lots of room. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in, there was a large fridge / freezer and all the kitchen equipment you could need. The location was very quiet with beautiful countryside views. There was no phone signal but the wifi was good so we just enabled wifi calling on our phones- only if needed as was nice to be off the grid for a change! Lots of books, dvds and games were available to use. Would stay again.

Tolles Haus mit eingezäunten Garten, was für unsere Hunde ideal war, weil sie ohne Aufsicht frei laufen konnten!Beim Doppelbett sollte man schon wissen, das es sich im eine 1,40 m Breite handelt!

The property is of very good condition larger than what I thought from the pictures we spent two nights there as we wanted some peace and quiet over New years Eve away from the loudness of fireworks. And I was very happy to report there was no noise at all required
