Lovely little getaway

We had a lovely time and the property was exactly what we were looking for. The garden is a good size and very secluded; our daughter loved playing in the gypsy wagon. The chalet itself is a good size for a small family and has all the essentials.

Fabulous

The chalet was very clean with everything you need for a perfect break. Great private outdoor space and the views have to be seen. I would certainly recommend the chalet. There are beaches within 20 mins drive but also lots of shopping can be done again only 20 mins drive.

Lovely quiet chalet !

We had a lovely stay shame about the weather we had , but We made the best of it . The secret garden gate was very hard to get open as it had rained alot and was overgrown , and the parking was very tight on the side of the road but sarah let our 2nd car go on her drive . Very quiet and the fire pit was great and the wood across the road was a treat.The thing that let it down was the tap in the bathroom kept dripping and the cleanliness of the chalet wasnt that great , we had to wash quite a lot of crockery and the pans and the microwave also the cupboards shelfs were dirty.But we achieved what we wanted and that was a lovely rest .Sarah our host was lovely and left us some fresh eggs. Thankyou sarah we

Mum and myself

I’m afraid we didn’t actually stay in the property , when we arrived in the garden of the property and chatting to the host, we were not sure about the security of the garden. The fence on one side was lower than we thought and our dogs could of jumped over it and behind the chalet and down the other side of the garden were bushy shrubs and couldn’t see if there were any gaps. The host said they maybe could get out but maybe keep them on leads. We have spaniels who like freedom to run around and explore and would mean we would of had to keep the doors shut all the time and wouldn’t be able to relax with them being out on their own, so with great disappointment we decided to head home.

Hübsches Häuschen mit schönem Garten

Wir hatten einen schöne Woche im Chalet. Das Wetter war sehr gut, so dass wir auch den Garten nutzen konnten und tolle Ausflüge gemacht haben. Leider ist das Häuschen schon sehr klein für 4 Personen und hat extrem wenig Stauraum. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Retour à la nature

Nous avons passé 5 nuits au chalet. Sarah est très rapide pour répondre aux messages et disponible. Le chalet est bien équipé : machine à laver, tv, jeux de société et l'extérieur est superbe : brasero pour faire un feu ou des grillades. La région du Kent est superbe: Canterbury, Rye, Douvres... Les pubs sont magnifiques et accueillant

Great for a walk in the woods

We stayed at the property whilst my partner was attending a wedding locally. We arrived late and were very grateful to Sarah for showing us the way in the dark. Was perfect for what we needed and would definitely recommend for anyone looking to escape to the countryside for a break. Lots of walks locally. Poulton woods in close proximity is lovely for walking dogs. Also a short drive from the seaside! We were very comfortable and had a short but lovely stay at the Chalet. Having only been to Kent once as a child I hope to return one day to explore a bit more. Thanks again!
