Had a lovely relaxing stay at Upper Farm. the owners whilst friendly and helpful were unobtrusive and committed to their guests enjoying their stay on a working farm. The property is warm and comfortable and dog friendly and the farm and garden a haven for many species of birds and wildlife which was much appreciated.

1 bedroom charming cottage. Fenced in garden for the dog. House kept warm and comfortable during all the rain. Quiet because it is more countryside. Horses neighing nearby which I loved. Lovely couple. Kitchen well provided for. Owners live in cottage just across so you never feel isolated. My dog loved the stairs. Bed was super comfy. There areRead more some odd noises heard in the bedroom but did not disturb me. I think one was from the heater. The other I have no idea. Nice new bathroom. Nice kitchen. Lots of hot water. I would stay again. The road from the built up area is narrow, built for one vehicle but people pull to the side to let a car pass. Hide

This is a delightful cottage in rural Kent. The farm track is ideal for walking the dog and as its an arable farm no livestock to worry about. Its location is ideal for visiting Dover Castle, Deal, Walmer, Sandwich, Goodnestone Gardens amongst other places

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Small garden but very pleasant and dog friendly. An abundance of birds attracted by the bird feeder. Close to several coastal and inland towns which were very dog friendly as were the pubs and cafes. No problem eating out.
