The accommodation was clean and well equipped. It was a great location for us visiting family in Deal, great rural area.Would rent again if coming back to the area.
The property was perfect for us and our 2 dogs it was an ideal base for all the things we have planned to do while there . It was well equipped perhaps a dishwasher would be a good addition but otherwise just what we needed
Excellent location, very quiet and idyllic but also close to lots of local amenities.
Lynne was really responsive and helped us with some pointers throughout our stay.
Had a fantastic time in this beautiful clean well equipped bungalow
A well closed in garden for dogs , and beautiful views .
Came in October and weather was brilliant would fully recommend to anyone who would like is nice quiet break
place
Very spacious and well-equipped cottage in ideal position for exploring the area although you need to be careful on the surrounding roads which are narrow with poor visibility.
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.
A wonderfull small house with everything we needed and a beautiful garden in quiet surrounding. Perfect to relax and to come down. Many intersting places nearby. Highly recommended.
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
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.
Garlands Retreat is a delightful property with a lovely garden. We had a great week staying there and the property is extremely well-equipped. The treats were lovely too! The property is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need. We would thoroughly recommend Garlands Retreat.
This was the second time we stayed at the property. Excellent location for Dover/Canterbury etc. Extremely peaceful. Very comfortable accommodation. Will come again.
We enjoyed our stay with our dog the property was like home from home well equipped and clean lovely garden and wonderful welcome gifts thank you. Quiet location but walking the dog a bit tricky due to narrow lanes.
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
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.
This was a return visit. We had a great time at the bungalow and our 2 dog's loved the secure garden and trip's out. This property is well managed and you only need to take yourself as its very well equipped
The property is a home from home and a lot larger than we expected. Plenty of space, lots of extras in the cupboards, a large selection of dvds and a welcome gift. We loved having this as our base to go off exploring, the location is perfect for visiting Dover, Ramsgate, Margate and Deal. A highly recommended value for money option.
Absolutely perfect! House was lovely and spacious for my family. We had a beautiful time walking the countryside. Only downside was trying to keep our dog clean so it didn't leave a mess!
We arrived with three Dachshunds. Apart from being very impressed with the accommodation, we checked the security of the garden which I would have to say was faultless, even our smallest at 5kg could not find her way out to escape, which was very reassuring. We would definitely stay there again if Lynne would have us. Thanks very much.
