Guests say
The Snug at Pickelden Farmhouse is highly praised for its cleanliness, high-standard amenities, and beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Guests appreciate the friendly hosts and the property's privacy, with special mentions of the complimentary touches and the hot tub. While there are minor suggestions for improvement, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests planning to return.
Guests consistently note the property's immaculate condition upon arrival, indicating a high level of cleanliness. There are isolated mentions of bugs and spider webs, which are to be expected in a rural setting and do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
The property's location is frequently described as peaceful and beautiful, with easy access to Canterbury and local pubs. The presence of a nearby river and the availability of walks add to the appeal. Some guests mention narrow lanes, but this does not seem to affect the overall satisfaction with the location.
The comfort of The Snug is well-regarded, with mentions of a cosy atmosphere and a comfortable bed. However, there are comments about the bed size being small for taller individuals and some furniture not being as comfortable for extended periods, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are generally seen as high-quality and well-maintained, with a few guests experiencing issues with the hot tub and appliances. Recommendations for additional instructions and minor maintenance suggest there is room for improvement, but overall, guests are satisfied with the facilities provided.
The hosts are commended for their attentiveness and thoughtful gestures, such as complimentary cookies and pre-arrival hot tub setup. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

The place was warm, clean and has enough to keep us entertained. A hot tub was a great bonus to our short stay and would like to stay there again.

The place was spotless, and the perfect size for the two of us. We donât really have any negatives about the place, the only thing would be the duvet kept bunching up in the corners so you would end up with just the duvet cover with no duvet in. We would highly recommend this place and will be coming back in the future.

Accommodation was clean and the owners had left shortbread and fresh milk which was a lovely extra! Beautiful grounds. Would recommend a trip to the Cave Hotel for dinner one evening (less than 20 minutes away).
