  Little Pontus is an amazing holiday property.

  So often places meant for two people are small with little space to spread out or sit comfortably. But not Little Pontus. It's a wonderful property superbly decorated and furnished. The underfloor heating was fabulous for bare feet in December. We certainly didn't need the log burner. The sitting room was fabulous with an L shaped sofa so we could both stretch out in comfort and watch the large screen TV. There were plenty of lamps around the room for subtle lighting and the main lights are on dimmer switches for a cosy feel in winter months. The kitchen diner is very smart and has everything needed - even a full size freezer. One of my pet hates at holiday lets is blunt knives but the ones at Little Pontus were lovely and sharp. There was also space for hubby to sit and use his laptop - and a huge dog bed which looked very comfortable for fury friends. The bedroom has loads of storage space and there was always plenty of hot water in the shower room. The linen smelled so fresh and there were plenty of towels. Little Pontus is a great base for visiting Kent - Canterbury, Hever Castle, Whitstable and Sandwich to mention just a few. Shari does a fantastic job running Little Pontus and she's so helpful and informative. There are little extras which aren't usually found in a holiday property - radios, ornaments etc which make the property feel so homely. She also left some little treats which were appreciated. I would highly recommend a stay at Little Pontus. It's the best holiday property we've ever stayed in.

  Well Little Pontus, what a beautiful home away from home you are.

  The gardens are stunning and are a testament to Shari and her hard work and vision. The cottage is comfortable, clean, spacious and luxurious. We needed a holiday to "stop" and "unwind" and boy did we pick the perfect place for that! Waking up to the sounds of the trees and birds. A cold plunge in the pool to get all your senses going. Watching the birds and squirrels. Petting and playing with the resident cat and dog ... hang on, were we in heaven? .. this staycation was everything we needed and more :) We are seasoned at staying in self catering and tend to take quite a bit away with us .. just in case! Some places have everything and others, not so much. Little Pontus is the former. Shari has thought of everything and if something wasn't there for you, I am sure the ultimate host that is Shari, would make sure you had what you needed. Such a lovely lady, with a sweet smile and a warm heart. We don't really want to shout about Little Pontus, we want it all to ourselves, it is THAT special. Thank you Shari, for sharing your home and heart with your visitors. Hope to see you again. Vicki & Alan.

  Little Pontus is a great place to stay for many reasons!

  The cottage itself is immaculately kept, spacious and cosy with very high class fittings and furnishings which add so much to the ambience of the stay, the bed is comfortable and everything is spotlessly clean - it is truly one of the best holiday lets we have stayed in! Little Pontus is dog friendly and what is so brilliant about this is that the very well maintained and extremely large garden is completely fenced allowing our greyhound who has not been off the lead in 5 years completely safe roaming of the grounds- she enjoyed playing and chilling out with the owners dog Elsa! The grounds are reminiscent of a well manicured park with a great deal of thought put into the design and a huge amount of love and passion put into the maintenance, just fabulous. Finally the owner could not have been more accommodating in ensuring everything was good for our stay and showing genuine concern! The fresh flowers and welcome pack was a lovely gesture! Overall a super place to stay and as we have regular visits to relatives in Kent we have already booked our next visit!

  We have just returned from a glorious week spent in this property located in the heart of Kent’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty .

  This cottage is beautifully presented with everything you could need for a perfect holiday . It is a real home from home but with a touch of elegance reflected in the exquisite attention to detail in the furnishings and high end linens. The location is perfectly placed to enjoy local site-seeing but sufficiently remote to enjoy a quiet idyllic escape to the country . The extensive grounds are perfect for both dogs and humans : our dog loved galloping around the grounds playing with the owner’s dog, whilst we had full access to the swimming pool and tennis court . This is the most beautiful home which caters for the most discerning travellers who wish to explore the beauty of Kent , enjoy a day by the pool or simply just want to cosy up and chill out by reviewing the books, games and movies available here. Shari and her family are the perfect most gracious hosts, going above and beyond to ensure that guests have the best holiday experience. We highly recommend this property and will look forward to returning in the future .

  Amazing cottage and stay - cannot recommend it enough.

  This is the best rental cottage we have stayed in, out of many over the years, and in a lovely peaceful, rural location. The large garden was beautiful and well laid out, from formal areas to lawn and long grassy areas, allowing our dog hours of fun sniffing, playing or lying around, in the safety of being completely enclosed. Elsa, the resident dog, was very friendly and accepting of our dog. The cottage was exceptional - very comfortable, clean and spacious, and with beautiful décor and everything we needed. Shari, the owner, was so friendly, accommodating and generous, making the stay even more delightful. When our dog was too tired to further explore the local beautiful nature reserves on the North Downs, we loved using the tennis court and swimming pool – while the latter is unheated, the cold was unnoticeable after a short brisk swim (the weather was only 15 degrees most of our stay) and it was a great addition to our holiday. We will definitely put Little Pontus back on our visit list as we had such a fabulous time there.
