Perfect in every way. There were 3 generations in our stay and there was something for young and old inside to amuse us for a couple of hours each evening. Caretaker extremely helpful. So clean, homely and well equipped in the kitchen and through out the property.

The cottage is lovely, and the garden is a real sun trap. Everything in the cottage was well thought through and we loved the art work and ornaments. Even loved the record collection! Leeds Castle was well worth a visit and the gardens were amazing. Dungeness is a must see. Bexhill and Hastings was well worth a visit and the countryside is beautifuRead morel. A visit to the Folkestone Harbour Arm , the various food shacks, and "The Beach" is a good day out. We finished the week off with a visit to Tenterden Food Festival.
