A lovely spot in the most beautiful English countryside. Accommodation is exactly how it looks in the photos and t is well kept. Very comfortable and clean. Everything you would need for your stay. The hosts were welcoming and gave us some great local information. Told us about various walks for us and the dogs as well as restaurant recommendations. The wildlife is abundant and there were horses, sheep and cattle in the local fields. A really lovely setting.

A very nice stay. The summerhouse is pleasant, well situated and good value for money. A bus to Folkestone or to Canterbury is available down the drive. Driving to Ashford to catch a train for London was easy. The nearby walks offered beautiful views. I'm sure I could have explored more if we had received more indications. If you wish to work while on a break, the wifi connection will prove too limited.

Friendly greeting. Easy access. More spacious than appears in pictures. Spotlessly clean. Lovely location and easy access to nearby tourist sites. Enjoyable short stay.
