What our customers say about their holidays

  The place was nice and cosy.

  I think privacy was my issue. There was a lack of it. I stayed 4 nights with my partner and we arrived late the first night, the next morning l felt the owner was trying to make himself visible to say hello which wasn’t necessary. And they also took note that we arrived late the night before..not sure why it mattered to him. They also have their children’s/grandchildren roaming the garden and they have a bench right next to the snug where they sit which again is a lack of privacy because they would sometimes sit there when they know we’re staying there. The driveway is stone but where you are designated to park there is an awful lot of stones and sometimes your cars tyres would sink and it may be slow getting out of the stones. And it’s the only place on the driveway with too many stones. A lot of insects too you will wake up with a few spiders on the walls and ceilings. If the privacy was greater I would recommend it.

  the cottage needs a thorough renovation, de kitchen is rundown, some doors of closets won't close, some of the cutlerie wasn't clean, there is no dishwasher, the washingmachine makes a lot of noise, in de bathroom some tiles are broken, the joints between the tiles are cracked and dirty, there are a lot of stains in the carpets througout the house, the chairs in de diningroom are full of staines, the couches are rundown and sagging, the traffic on the road is very loud, 24/7, stripes on the wall beside the stairs, the garden is overgrown, the gardenchairs and table have seen better days, de shed is a dump, dampspots on the wall of the bathroom. 2 stars, max, not 4 stars. Most importantly however is that the cottage was nog clean at all. It hadn't been vacumed for months, dustbunnies everywhere, windows were not clean. Very disappointing. Only positive is the 2 minute walk to the centre of Canterbury.

  The accommodation was outstanding.

  It wasn’t the easiest to find down narrow country lanes but walking in through the door there was a real wow factor. The barn had everything we needed and was much larger than we expected. It was quality throughout and we can’t recommend it highly enough. It initially seemed a little remote but turned out to be well situated to get to all the main towns, beaches and attractions of this part of Kent. My wife and I will definitely be returning…and don’t let the idea of being part of a working farm put you off. It was as peaceful as you could possibly want and we were unaware of any farm activity throughout the stay. 5* all the way

  Lovely little bolt hole, compact but with everything you need.

  Top spec equipment but it might be a good idea to have instructions on how to use things more readily to hand (had to get owner to instruct me on hob, and then had to google microwave manual). Lovely owners, very helpful, but beware leaving the doors open when evening comes, it becomes bug heaven indoors, I should have anticipated that though. Small (constructive-I hope) criticism, those chairs are not very comfy for tv watching, and the angle is all wrong to watch from the bed (unless that was something else I couldn't work out). Nice to be close to a stream, just sitting by water and trees is very good for the soul.
