Peaceful getaway
The property is of very good condition larger than what I thought from the pictures we spent two nights there as we wanted some peace and quiet over New years Eve away from the loudness of fireworks. And I was very happy to report there was no noise at all required

Lovely rural location
Bungalow was well equipped. Very warm and light. Our dog enjoyed the fully enclosed garden and we enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine on comfy garden chairs. The one level was perfect for my elderly parents.

Garlands Retreat
Garlands Retreat is a delightful property with a lovely garden. We had a great week staying there and the property is extremely well-equipped. The treats were lovely too! The property is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need. We would thoroughly recommend Garlands Retreat.

Great place to stay
We arrived with three Dachshunds. Apart from being very impressed with the accommodation, we checked the security of the garden which I would have to say was faultless, even our smallest at 5kg could not find her way out to escape, which was very reassuring. We would definitely stay there again if Lynne would have us. Thanks very much.

Really spacious rural property with a beautiful garden, we drove to several seaside destinations all within a 40 minute drive and there are a couple of really nice local pubs but do need to drive. Fantastic place especially if your a dog owner

Lovely location and property
The property is a home from home and a lot larger than we expected. Plenty of space, lots of extras in the cupboards, a large selection of dvds and a welcome gift. We loved having this as our base to go off exploring, the location is perfect for visiting Dover, Ramsgate, Margate and Deal. A highly recommended value for money option.

Lovely place to stay
We had a wonderful three night stay at Garland's Retreat over the Easter weekend. The bungalow is very clean and had everything we needed (and more). It was a great base for us to explore Dover and Deal castles and we also managed a trip to Sandwich. Yes, the WiFi is patchy, sometimes non-existent, but it certainly didn't impact our break. I'm so glad we booked - it's a beautiful place to stay.
