Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is frequently described as immaculately clean, with only a few mentions of bugs and spider webs, which are common in rural settings. The high standard of cleanliness is a recurring compliment among guests.
The location is celebrated for its tranquillity, scenic views, and proximity to Canterbury and local pubs. The peaceful garden and nearby river add to the charm, although one review mentioned a preference for sun loungers to fully enjoy the outdoor space.
Comfort is generally well-received, with praise for the cosy atmosphere and comfortable bed. However, there are comments about the size of the bed and the comfort of the chairs, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities are modern and well-presented, with a fully kitted-out property. Some guests experienced difficulties with appliance instructions and a non-heating hot tub, indicating a need for better maintenance or clearer guidance.
Guests appreciate the complimentary cookies and the hosts' attentiveness, which demonstrate thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such personal touches, while delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

With it's idyllic location and friendly (but not overbearing) hosts, this place really does have everything you need for a few days of peace and relaxation. If I had to come up with some constructive criticisim, I would recommend adding some information about a few local businesses to the guest instruction/info pack, such as Bagham Barn and Badgers Hill. I had a lovely stay and would happily return in the future!

Only little bit of feedback would be the shower panel isn't big enough and when you shower there whole room gets soaked. Minor thing really but easily fixed
