Guests say
Pam's Plaice in Canterbury is a well-received cottage, praised for its dog-friendly environment, cosy and comfortable atmosphere, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the local amenities, including a village pub and nearby walks, as well as the welcoming and helpful nature of the host, Jenny. The property's garden is highlighted as a safe and enjoyable space for pets.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean and well-maintained, with one reviewer specifically noting it as one of the cleanest places they've stayed.
The location is appreciated for its quietness, dog walking opportunities, and proximity to local shops and pubs. However, one review mentioned a nearby pub was closed due to a kitchen fire, which slightly impacted the location's convenience.
The cottage is frequently described as cosy, comfortable, and like 'home from home', with spacious bedrooms and a relaxing garden, indicating a high level of comfort for guests.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden. However, one guest felt the property was slightly dated and mentioned the need for repairs to garden furniture, leading to a slightly lower score.
While guests express gratitude for the welcoming touches and mention goodies, there is not enough information to determine if these are consistent offerings. As such, while the host's thoughtfulness is evident, it is politely noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.

Named after the previous owner, this much loved semi-detached family home, next door to the local primary school, provides spacious yet cosy accommodation in the heart of the pretty Cambridgeshire village of Offord D’Arcy. Close by lies Godmanchester, a historic and scenic town situated on the River Great Ouse, in the Ouse Valley.
There has been a settlement here since Viking times and the town retains much of its Roman history where history buff can visit the Porch Museum, as it is home to many local artefacts and is a treasure trove of information about the history of the town. Also a ‘must visit’ is the university city of Cambridge with its guided walks, numerous museums, including the famous Fitzwilliam, punting on the River Cam, open top bus tours and great shops and restaurants.
To fit it all in, you will need to make several visits, and Cambridge’s network of park-and-ride systems makes this very easy to do. Alternatively, you can pop into Huntingdon and take the train, which also runs to Ely with its magnificent cathedral, or even be in the heart of London in around an hour. Even closer lies Grafham Water, which offers water sports and is a great place for a stroll, picnic or family day out. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll undoubtedly be pleased to return to Pam’s Plaice and enjoy dinner in the light and airy conservatory, which just seems to bring the outside in, or in the pretty rear garden, while you plan adventures yet to be had. Shop 400 yards.

Lovely house with great walks in the local area. Very dog friendly part of the country. Village pub has a good reputation for food and atmosphere, didn't disappoint. River Mill restaurant in nearby Eaton Socon well worth a visit. The owner met us on arrival and explained everything to us and was on call next door if we had any issues. Would recommend without a doubt.
