The cottage is in a perfect location to walk in to the city. The extended kitchen is a lovely space and the bedrooms are all a good size and comfortable.

A lovely spacious five bedroom property full of character but in need of some modernising to rate this place as outstanding. Excellent location and well equipped. Some parts of the house felt cold and took longer to heat than other parts. Would return here if we were in the area again

Great house with loads of space, and great kitchen/ lounge at the back. Very well located to walk into the city centre, shop at Waitrose, and for driving to surrounding places like Dover Castle, Hawkinge, white cliffs etc.
