My family had an amazing Christmas and New Year at Walnut cottage. The cottage is set in a beautiful quiet location, but still has convenient access to the M20 to get everywhere quickly. The cottage was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful fire place for cosy nights in. Well equiped kitchen, beds were comfortable. Would stay again.

Walnut Cottage is in a lovey quiet lane surrounded by fields - it is comfortable and well equipped. There are lovely walks from the doorstep. It is 10 minutes drive from Folkestone and around 30 minutes drive to Canterbury. Our host was welcoming and helpful. The neighbours were also very friendly. A lovely relaxing place to stay.

This holiday cottage met our needs and is comfortable. It offers plenty of space and it is equipped with all the necessities. The cottage is rural and at the same time within reach of all kinds of attractions, a supermarket and pubs. The owner lives nearby and responds well to any questions you may have. This is a holiday cottage I would love to reRead moreturn to again. (Review of two persons, October 2022) Hide

Walnut Cottage is in a beautiful countryside setting and is homely and spotlessly clean. It's well equipped and has very comfortable beds. The owner, Jane, is friendly without being intrusive and we appreciated the little personal touches when we arrived - including fresh cut flowers and a welcome pack for that important first cup of tea/coffee.Read more Folkestone is just 15 minutes away by car and there are several good pubs serving quality meals within a few minutes drive. It is ideally placed for The Old Kent Barn wedding venue which is a 3 minute drive away. Hide
