We loved the peace on the terrace, the view, the wildflowers, the birdsong. The house was very well-suited to our elderly mum who has mobility issues. There was everything we needed, easy parking, comfy beds, good showers, a great bath, and a lovely welcome basket. Carolyn and her family were welcoming and helpful.

The cottage is warm and spacious, very light and airy. Unfortunately we had extremely wet weather and we werent able to explore the grounds, but because there are windows all down one side you feel like youre sitting outside anyway. It was so quiet and we heard and saw lots of birds. Theres so many places to visit nearby like the RSPB nature reservRead moree at Dungeness, Rye, National Trust properties, Ashford Outlet and excellent eateries nearby. We would recommend this cottage as a lovely quiet & relaxing base for visiting the area. Hide
