V welcoming host. Met us at the property and gave us lots of recommendations and explained how things worked. Parking is on the road side next toProperty but it is a v quiet road. Garden is absolutely brilliant and secure so great if you have children or a dog. Our dog Teddie loved it. We stayed a couple of nights en route to France via the Channel Tunnel which is about 20 mins away. Highly recommend for couple or small family.

This was exactly what we were looking for after a stressful some time - a place of quiet and peace. Comfy sleep, campfire, nature and privacy. Kids got to see some chickens and lambs, lots of table games in the chalet, a beautiful garden and everything you might need inside the accommodation. Little funky smell in the chalet, like a mold or something, but with some heating on and all the windows opened it gets better. Highly recommend for people wanting to escape to a countryside. Although a stay was short but we left fully recharged.

Lovely little getaway

We had a lovely time and the property was exactly what we were looking for. The garden is a good size and very secluded; our daughter loved playing in the gypsy wagon. The chalet itself is a good size for a small family and has all the essentials.

The Chalet was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very cosy. Marvellous shower with plenty of hot water and beautifully comfortable beds. The garden was beautiful and perfect for our dogs. Very well situated with lots to see and do within easy reach. Sarah is lovely and we were greeted with eggs from her chickens, pears from the ree and homegrown tomatoes ... utterly delicious. Would highly recommend.

The chalet was very clean with everything you need for a perfect break. Great private outdoor space and the views have to be seen. I would certainly recommend the chalet. There are beaches within 20 mins drive but also lots of shopping can be done again only 20 mins drive.

Very lovely and charming place! Perfect for those looking to have a peaceful gateway from busy urban life! 5 mins drive to port lymphe safari park, which is highly recommended as for kids, as for adults! Sarah is a super star and made our stay very easy! Loved every minute, highly recommend!

Lovely little chalet, large enclosed garden with a great view over the Downs, perfect for our two tervueren shepherds. We enjoyed our stay very much, visited the Canterbury Cathedral (with our dogs!), Bodiam Castle, Dover... We loved walking in the wood across the street and enjoyed the hikes though the fields. If I really have to mention one minor point of improvement: a garden dining set for a family would make this accomodation perfect. But I really recommend The Chalet, would stay here if I go to Kent again.

Took us a moment to find the property so make sure to ask for the full address. But our girls found it a magical place to stay and it was close to Port Lymphe where we were taking them so a day out. The local pub was lovely but note its stops serving food at 2pm then starts 6-8 - but again they were very helpfull and made us some chips event though we were 6 minutes past. The kids cant wait to go back.

Lovely quiet chalet !

We had a lovely stay shame about the weather we had , but We made the best of it . The secret garden gate was very hard to get open as it had rained alot and was overgrown , and the parking was very tight on the side of the road but sarah let our 2nd car go on her drive . Very quiet and the fire pit was great and the wood across the road was a treat.The thing that let it down was the tap in the bathroom kept dripping and the cleanliness of the chalet wasnt that great , we had to wash quite a lot of crockery and the pans and the microwave also the cupboards shelfs were dirty.But we achieved what we wanted and that was a lovely rest .Sarah our host was lovely and left us some fresh eggs. Thankyou sarah we

Oh Ruth i wish you had said about the tap , it was a super simple fix and doesnt drip now. I will make sure we triple check all the crockery in future!!. Guests are always welcome to park in the drive or up by the house. Most prefer to be right next to the chalet but there are lots of options. Glad you enjoyed your stay despite the weather !

Mum and myself

I’m afraid we didn’t actually stay in the property , when we arrived in the garden of the property and chatting to the host, we were not sure about the security of the garden. The fence on one side was lower than we thought and our dogs could of jumped over it and behind the chalet and down the other side of the garden were bushy shrubs and couldn’t see if there were any gaps. The host said they maybe could get out but maybe keep them on leads. We have spaniels who like freedom to run around and explore and would mean we would of had to keep the doors shut all the time and wouldn’t be able to relax with them being out on their own, so with great disappointment we decided to head home.

It was such a shame you didnt feel you could stay. The garden has fence running through the bushes and is secure on the road side. it does has a feild fence on the feild side. ( 4 foot high) This is visible in the pictures on the site. I always recommend if you have dogs that can jump high or prone to escape you keep them on a lead . We are after all in the countryside with farm animals close. We have had 100s of dogs here over the years and you are the first that have found this such an issue. Dog owners generally love the space, the lovely local walks and wood.
