Immaculate and very well equipped accommodation set in a quiet rural location. Perfect for a relaxing break. Within easy reach of Tenterden and many surrounding quaint villages. Communication via email with owner prior to visit to provide mobile phone number and reg number for gated entry was easy and owner was quick to respond and also provided comprehensive arrival information. Definitely recommend and would return.
