Absolutely beautiful setting and the cottage was perfect for our family holiday. It was very clean and they had thought of everything that you could possibly need, including board games, books and dvds. The outside areas were beautiful and our children really enjoyed the play areas and tennis court. It was close to Tenterden and we enjoyed spending a day there as well as a great base for Port Lympne. It was such a lovely setting, so quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed sitting out for breakfast each morning. It was lovely to see that previous feedback had been listened to and there was a blackout blind for the twin room and a squeegee on the shower. The little touches such as tea, coffee and biscuits when we arrived we very much appreciated. We will definitely be back for another holiday next year.
