It has to be one of the best self catering places we have ever stayed in. Our hosts were really lovely, the accomodation beautifully and clean in a very quite location easy walk of a pub, and a beautiful garden to sit in drinking coffee and eating tea liaf. The added extras left out for us to eat wonderful, especially the homemade tea loaf. Look forward to booking another stay.

The owners, who live nearby, have put a lot of thought into making this 'Annexe' a very comfortable and well-equiped holiday accommodation. If we ever visit Kent again, we wouldn't hesitate to re-book.
