This is a very nice, comfortable cottage. The North Downs across the road. Car parking is on the main road I found it difficult to find on a dark rainy night. But a phone call to the proprietor gave me immediate advice and personal direction. All good. Bird song in the morning a little occassional road noise from quads on Pilgrims walk.

Take care if you are backing in to the driveway as it is very narrow and there is a very low brick wall either side and it is easy to damage a tyre/wheel. There was plenty of glasses and crockery but often difficult to reach without using the steps provided.

Really nice place to stay, very central to where we wanted to visit. Clean and tidy with all mod cons. It is beside a very noisy road so take earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Driveway entrance is tight for modern cars, and opens on to a very busy road. For drivers coming from the Canterbury direction I would advise you to carry on down the hillRead more, go round the roundabout and approach the driveway from the opposite side of the road, it makes for an easier entrance.
