A beautifully presented cottage , in a beautiful location. The private, outdoor terrace was very much appreciated and enabled us to enjoy the wonderful weather during our stay. The proximity of the Red Lion pub was great ! A great location for exploring Kent with some lovely walks straight from the door.

From the moment we arrived to the minute we left nothing was too much trouble for the owners. We were greeted and welcomed on arrival and were immediately pleased with the standard and quality of the accommodation and the contents including in the kitchen. It was all pristine and reassuringly clean. The location is perfect in a picturesque KentRead moreish village; charming properties, farms and orchards, church, village pub/restaurant, Oast house all visible and within 100 yards. Situation perfect as the resorts are all within easy driving distance. We fell in love with this area and hope to return one day. Hide

Nicely situated cottage close to Canterbury, Faversham, Leeds Castle, Belmont House, and other interesting places to visit. The location is also very convenient for hikes in the Blean Woods or the Kent Downs. The cottage was exceptionally clean, and we were warmly welcomed with refreshments.
