Excellent location to visit xmas markets in Canterbury and Folksrone, on direct bus route and pub close by very welcoming. Hosts very accommodating, only issue was a few dirty glasses in cupboard and hot tub had a few bits coming apart, but didnt spoil the experience. Love this place - 3rd visit.

We hired the house for a big surprise birthday celebration. The house worked so well for us all (9 in total). The host was so lovely, we had a welcome pack on arrival which was lovely, she was so responsive and supplied extra logs for the burner when requested. The hot tub was brilliant and a hit with all of us, we wandered the grounds and met the animals which the kids loved, the local pub was a 5 min walk and was a lovely environment and good food. All in all it’s 5 stars from us and we will definitely be back when the pool is up and running!
