From the outset, this property appealed. Its location opposite Bonchurch Pond with its terrapins, heron, ducks and carp suggested it might be rather busy, but in mid-June, we had no problem with road noise at all. Parking was fine, though we did have to move the car away from the cottage between 9 am and 5 pm. As we were usually out or there was space further down the same road, this didn't present a problem. The cottage itself is beautifully appointed inside and out, was very clean and there were some lovely touches including a bottle of wine and a bar of chocolate. We would highly recommend Grebe Cottage and fully intend to return ourselves sometime!
