The cottage is a superb bolthole to escape the hustle and bustle, enjoy a stroll out along the country lanes, why not pop in for refreshment at the local pub before a short walk back to create a feast for the family in the wonderfully equipped kitchen.
The owners have lovingly restored this cottage and have given it a contemporary boutique style. A warm welcome awaits guests with a basket of local produce to be enjoyed. Ideal for couples and families whatever the time of year; for those looking for a self-catering holiday cottage set in peaceful Kentish countryside.

Very clean, well furnished and equipped with a helpful information folder. Quiet location, easy to find. The one problem we experienced was not being able to connect our devices to the wi-fi which it said was available. The password in the information folder did not seem to work. This caused a certain amount of frustration as we had planned to do family tree research over the long weekend but not being able to connect, this could not be done.

Very attractive and well presented cottage, but early morning noise can be a problem on this busy working farm. Instructions for finding cottage could be improved, particularly for those arriving after dark, as we did
