It is an area of picturesque farms and rural landscapes and the views from the property are stunning and far reaching.

Reviews

Lovely accommodation in a great location. Fantastic welcome pack. Nice touch leaving sweets, towel & poo bays for dogs. Lovely hot water. Has everything you need. Friendly owners.

Mrs K,

Nice cottage, very quiet, rural.

Ms V,

A lovely property in a tranquil setting in the countryside. Conveniently located for exploring southern Kent being a short drive from the coast and major attractions (for example Canterbury Cathedral & Dover Castle). It is also close to the North Downs Way providing lovely countryside walks. I would recommend this property and would not hesitate to use again in the future.

Mr K,

Just what we wanted very friendly people

Mr E,

This is a lovely compact holiday cottage very well appointed with all you need for your stay. It was extremely clean and tidy and we could not fault it. We had a warm welcome from the host who was happy to discuss any requests or answer questions. The information book in the cottage was also very helpful. The location is superb in the heart of the countryside yet close to local towns and attractions.

Mrs A,

Beautiful setting, really quiet. The cottage had everything we needed to have a comfortable break.

Mrs S,

Comfortable cottage very small

Mrs F,

The cottage is compact but has everything we wanted: nice view on the landscape, and close by to the cliffs and Cantebury

Mr Van B,

Loved the stylish decor, the horse shoe theme. The view and access to the countryside is excellent.

Ms B,

Lovely cottage in a great location. Sense of being in middle of nowhere but also close to everything! Was great seeing all the animals around the farm with the gorgeous view out the window. Perfect retreat.

Mrs L,

Lovely location, really quiet and peaceful and a lovely place to retreat to at the end of a day. Lovely view from the picture window too. Property was just what we needed - warm, comfortable, clean, great shower, perfectly useable mini kitchen and a nice wee lounge area. I want to say “basic” but that is a complement really because there was nothing over and above what we needed for a nice, pleasant stay. We would definitely recommend to others and would use again should the opportunity arise.

Mr H,

Just returned from a lovely weekend staying at the Swift with our two dogs. The accommodation was clean, fully equipment and right in the heart of the Kent countryside. Fantastic walks with the North Downs Way being 100 yards from the property. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway, will certainly be looking to book again.

Mrs C,
