Amazing place.

We had a fantastic stay, the house and grounds were beautiful, clean and tidy. The house has everything you need, from games, information on walks, to kitchen gadgets. We were very impressed and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Excellent location, lovely walks all around Bridge and a super friendly atmosphere at the Red Lion Pub just a few minutes walk away from the property. The food was very good too. We can highly recommend Walnut Tree Cottage.

a very enjoyable break

Excellent spacious property, nicely situated within easy walk to pub and village shop. It is a great base for visits to the many nearby coastal resorts .If ,like us, you fancy tapas go to El SOL in beautiful Canterbury. Recommend a cross country walk to the Tadpole Cafe. Like to mention that cottage host James came across as a really nice fella.

Everything went wonderful in a sweet little village. The cottage was wonderful and well appointed, we would stay again. Our only suggestion is that the main couch and matching chair are a little tired.

Everything was very comfortable, the check in and out without any complications. I can recommend this house warmly. The only thing it smells a little like dog guess there are often dogs in the main room and there is a big road nearby that you hear in the night. We loved the place outside we're you can sit. The kitchen isvwell equipped.

Great cottage, great location.

The house was very clean and had everything you could need, very well equipped. Great family bathroom upstairs and shower room downstairs. Two bedrooms upstairs, one slightly larger than the other. Both had same size beds (a little small if you are a couple used to a King), comfortable and nice linens. A great location, close to Canterbury and surrounding villages. Great place to stay. Thank you James

Fantastic spacious property

As soon as we walked into the cottage we were surprised with how spacious it was. The garden and outdoor areas were fantastic and our 2 dogs loved having so much space to explore. As a family we also enjoyed making use of the rope swing and football table. There was everything we needed at the cottage. We were made to feel very welcome by our host. We genuinely loved our stay and would highly recommend this place. We are definitely planning on a return visit.

Beautiful cottage with huge garden

We all really loved staying in this wonderful cottage, it was really spacious and the living area was all open plan. Everything was provided from tea bags to toilet rolls and when we checked in it was really lovely and clean. The huge garden was amazing - our boys loved the swing and the foosball table in the games room. Out through the back gate there are great walks around the village which is lovely and quiet. Its fairly central location in Kent made it a great location to visit some wonderful seaside towns and the park and ride to Canterbury was just down the road. A lovely pace to stay!

A Lovely Stay

My friends and I stayed at Walnut Tree Cottage at the end of Jan 2020. We just wanted an extra long weekend break somewhere rural. I have to say that the stay from start to send was lovely. The owner was always on hand to answer any questions I had pre and during our stay. The property was a little cold to begin with but soon warmed up. We found it as advertised, nice and clean. Great games room and garden. I would definitely recommend it.

Fabulous and stylish

This amazing "barn conversion" is not to be missed. The property is fabulous, and superbly presented. It has everything you could need, and is put together exactly how it should be. If you have a dog, or want country walks in the Garden of England, this is the place. Bridge is a fabulous little village, with amazing dining options. James is a perfect gentlemen and could not be more helpful. This place is a solid 10.
