A perfect setting for a break away. Fabulous bedrooms each with a luxurious ensuite. Cosy,homely and with everything you need for cooking and relaxing. Wifi worked well. Just my brother and I and a puppy for 3 nights. It could be extra cosy with 4 adults plus dog but has a lovely outdoor area too. Definitely recommend! Thankyou.

Perfect base from which to explore the area

The cottage was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. It was a great location and we were able to visit many interesting places, including NT properties and Bedgebury Pinetum, to all of which we were able to take our dog. There are also nice pubs in the area to eat out at, notably the Bull Inn and The Horseshoes at East Farleigh. We may be back!

We really enjoyed our stay. Sue was really attentive and prepared the property well. She was available to assist us and promptly responded to messages. There is plenty of parking and the cottage is cosy and really comfortable We were impressed with the bathrooms and the kitchen had useful utensils. Our mum stayed with us and there was room for all of us. The place is really clean and the area is peaceful. I would highly recommend a stay at this cottage. You need a vehicle to get about - it really is a lovely place to stay.

we were two couples each with a spaniel dog. The cottage is very dog friendly with the addition of a large field next to the cottage for dogs to run around freely. we had a lovely few days mainly walking the dogs and walking to the local pub despite the weather. Sue was on hand if we needed anything.

For an October stay this was a warm cottage. Ideal for my elderly Dad. All on one level with good access. Only issue was that wifi was not available as communicated by message the week before. Mobile signal in the area is not great.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Sue Townsend

Host profile image

I have lived on the farm all of my life, and have been running a B&B for since 2003. The cottage was built by us in 2007 to provide a lovely place for self catering holidays as an extension of our business.

Why they chose this property

We are very lucky to live in an exceptionally beautiful area in the heart of Kent (The garden of England), but close enough to London, Canterbury, and the coast.

What makes this property unique

The cottage was designed to be completely accessible to wheelchair users, with no thresholds or steps.
