Customer Comments

Selected comment(s) from customers who have enjoyed staying at this property:
  1. Excellent location if you want peace and quiet and be in an area of outstanding beauty. Pub within short walking distance. Excellent for walkers. Wye nearby village has advantage of a station so you can go by train to Margate, Ramsgate, Canterbury and Ashford etc. July 2012.
  2. A very comfortable and well equipped cottage in a wonderful out-of-the-way location. Very close to the attractions of the region yet tucked away in the Kent countryside. June 2012.
  3. A little gem. May 2012.
  4. Great cottage with absolutely everything you need provided. April 2012.
  5. Lovely property if you like seclusion as we did. Care is needed on roads as they are very narrow country lanes. Would definitely book again. March 2012.
  6. The property is in a beautiful location is comfortable & has good facilities. Ideal for couples of all ages & a young families with 2 children maximum. There are a lot of places of interest within an easy drive. Plenty of variation for eating out but the restaurant within walking distance of the property whilst very good, is expensive & visitors should allow £50.00 to £60.00 per head. We were not disappointed with any aspect of our holiday. July 2011.

  12. Comfortable for two adults + two children. Quiet location. Pleasant area at side of accommodation with facilities for eating outside. Fairly well located for Kent’s areas of interest. Some very narrow lanes leading up to residence so care should be exercised when driving. July 2010.
  13. Peaceful and conveniently situated for exploring the county of Kent. June 2010.
  14. Very comfortable and quiet. May 2010.

  19. Well equipped, friendly welcome, cosy, interesting location. Sept 2009.
  20. The accommodation was comfortable and just the right size for a family of 3 with lovely surrounding but not too far for everything so if you wanted to get food, a restaurant or shopping they are in easy reach. Aug 2009.
