What our customers say about their holidays

  What a wonderful stay we had at The Old Dairy.

  The house is beautiful and contains everything you could need for a week away from home. We stayed over New Years and were delighted to find it all decorated for Christmas, tree and all!! What a fabulous surprise. The downstairs living area was so spacious and inviting, the kids had plenty of room to play and a separate snug meant when our family visited we could have a relaxed conversation in comfort. The kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. The extra fridge was an added bonus and much appreciated. The beds were all very comfortable and the rooms large. The bathrooms were modern and the shower ginormous and inviting. You could tell that a lot of time, effort and love has gone into making this holiday house feel like a home. All appliances, linen and furnishings were all high end and great quality. A lot of thought has gone into all the added little touches. The owner Kate was such a lovely lady and all too happy to help when we needed a little assistance, otherwise she left us on our own to enjoy our break. Plenty of parking, we had 3 cars, and surrounded by beautiful countryside and walks in all directions. We would recommend this house to everyone, we had a fantastic stay.

  Superb property in a quiet and beautiful rural setting.

  Such a high specification inside, especially the kitchen area and bathrooms, showers.All the bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. Absolutely delighted with the accommodation, have never stayed in such a clean and well furnished holiday place.Felt safe and able to enjoy the surroundings in peace. All the family did their morning runs through the woods opposite , it really suited all 5 of us ( could sleep 6) and we had space within the barn to relax . Lovely coast to explore, we didn't know the county at all, picked it as a base for ourselves and visitors from London, trains nearby from Canterbury. Altogether an exceptional holiday with everything at hand, we all shared the cooking and ate outside in the private garden when possible, which is sunny all day . Definitely has the wow factor, doubt we will encounter such a wonderful place again , will need some finding, thank you .

  We had a wonderful stay.

  The place was so well presented and clean with a lovely welcome note from the owner. It was so well stocked with everything you might need which often isnt the case at so many cottages. The only things I would say is that the garden felt like a little bit of wasted space and we did not realise that the ceilings in the bedrooms would be so slanted and low. Luckily we were only two fairly short couples so we did not use the lowest ceiling bedroom but we did have a few head bangs along the way. The downstairs though was ideal, the open plan setting was perfect with comfy sofas and a decent sized tv. Perfect for making social dinners and just having that feeling of everyone being around but having enough space to not feel on top of each other.

  "We had a fabulous week catching up with family in this spacious property. All bedrooms rooms are of a good size and comfortably appointed. The multiple living spaces downstairs made it possible for all generations and interests to pursue different things, but we could also come together in the kitchen/ dinner for happy meals and socialising. The garden is beautiful. We particularly appreciated the piano - it lead to a holiday filled with music. The well stocked book shelves also made for an interesting read. The short walk into Canterbury meant we only used cars for transport once, which was ideal."

  The cottage was delightful and worthy of its 5* rating.

  The house was beautifully decorated, the kitchen was very spacious and had virtually everything we needed to cater for ourselves, and the beds were so comfortable. Whilst we were there the weather was mixed as would be expected in November, and when the weather was unkind, the house was lovely and warm. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and a lot of thought and care had gone into converting the Old Dairy into a very comfortable and delightful place to stay. We would happily recommend this cottage to anyone as a place to stay for a very enjoyable holiday.
