The cottage is nice and clean. However, it took us some days to feel at home because we missed a homely touch.

we booked walnut cottage as we were going to a funeral at nearby Barham crematorium . We had such a lovely peaceful stay, the location was so relaxing and there were rabbits, pheasants and horses at the bottom of the garden. We also visited Port Lympne zoo , and Folkestone garden centre which is just at the top of the road where we enjoyed a cupRead more of tea and cake while waiting to check in . Walnut cottage is a beautiful place to stay and the sunsets are glorious. Hide

This was the second time we've stayed in the property and really enjoyed our time there. The house is very peaceful and a fantastic place to relax, it is well equipped for families and couples to spend a week there. The location is ideal for us to see family members whilst visiting the many museums and amenities that Kent has to offer.

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.
