About the host
Hosted by Anne Jolin
We have lived here for 30 years, and Rob has done all the building work himself. Nothing had been done to the house or the outbuildings for years, and it's been a labour of love to restore it. Originally a Market Garden, over the years the land was sold off, and when we came it only had an acre left.The house was built in 1703, and rumour has it that the original barn was burnt down during the Peasant's Revolt. The Roman road which led from Richborough (where the Romans first landed in Britain), runs directly in front of the house. The cottages are set in a pretty courtyard. We are on-site to give you as much (or as little!) help as you need to make sure your stay with us is memorable. We always welcome our guests personally, and will do all we can to make sure you enjoy your holiday.
Why they chose this property
We have been here 30 years. We moved here to be away from the town, and to enjoy a more relaxed way of life. Having said that, we didn't want to be too far away from shops, motorways etc, so think we have the perfect spot! We are ideally situated to explore Kent, and many of our guests do a day trip to France as we are only 25 minutes away from the Ferry port of Dover and Eurotunnel. In fact, one of our guests went to Paris for the day, going on Eurostar from Ashford! We have many fine farm shops locally, some with excellent restaurants selling their own produce. There is so much history in this corner of Kent, with a wealth of castles to visit. The White cliffs at Dover are iconic, and Leeds Castle is stunning. If gardens are your interest, Sissinghurst is amazing. The shops are good too!
What makes this property unique
Although we are on a main road, the house and cottages are set well back, and enjoy a peaceful setting, where you can hear the birds singing. We have jays, both species of woodpeckers, and many more interesting birds visiting the gardens. We are ideally placed to visit all the attractions in Kent, and also to take advantage of day trips to France, and to Paris via Eurostar.
We are within easy walking distance of a suberb small animal park - Wingham Wildlife Park. You can often hear the lions roaring, and the monkeys chattering in the mornings (don't worry, they haven't had any escapees!) We offer an oasis to return to after a busy day sightseeing. We have a bus stop within 50 yards to take you to Canterbury, Sandwich, Deal without having to worry about parking the car. We also provide an Nespresso coffee machine.
