We enjoyed the studio for a week. We had a lovely time visiting London by train from Ashford International and visiting Canterbury. The studio has a lovely garden. We also enjoyed the contact with our host. The local pub was also very nice.
Stunning studio in rural area has everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Patio area with BBQ and outside seating surrounded by nature and beautiful gardens
Fully equipped kitchen including air fryer, microwave and two ring cooker made dining easy and enjoyable
We have enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The area is very quiet and tranquil. We have enjoyed fresh eggs and delicious applejuice offered by Lilly. The are footpaths near the cottage. No real downsides, except that the cottage has no eating table and the bathroom has a low ceiling.
We had a great weekend at the studio, couldn't fault a thing. Some lovely touches with apple juice and eggs available in the property, and lots of outdoor space to have a BBQ in the sun. Provided a great base for getting around Kent.
Un moment de ressourcement et de paix dans un écrin de nature et d'humanité. Beauté, propreté, simplicité, amicales attentions. Bienveillance. Service au voyageur adapté à un séjour toujours très "cosy", doux, et plein de charme.
Such a relaxing place to stay away from the hustle & bustle. Lily & family made us very welcome & the accommodation was just perfect for our short stay.
Everything was spotless & we would definitely visit again x
Rural location but easy access to M20 for Ashford, Folkestone and Dover to visit the surrounding attractions. Lilly was very welcoming and always on hand if we needed her. Our daughter especially liked seeing the ducks, geese and chicken and having a fresh egg for breakfast on a couple of occasions.
Alles ist gut, wie angegeben. Lilly hat uns nicht nur die schöne Terrasse - wie Fotos im Angebot -, sondern auch den Rasen mitüberlassen. Unsere Kinder 7/11 konnten dort spielen. Lilly stand für alle Fragen immer freundlich zur Seite. Es gibt 2 liebe Katzen, die manchmal auf unsere Kinder warten.
Wir waren bei Ihr 10 Nächte, man kann viel unternehmen:
Bei Regenwetter nach London mit Auto bis Ashford 15 Min plus Schnellzug bis London ( leider ist der Zug teuer ) 30 Min, bei gutem Wetter Dymchurch sandy beach - mit Auto quer durchfahren - 30 Min.; 1 A Strand camber sand = 45 Min.
Ein toller Ausflug ist auch nach Dover castle, Rochester castle.
Ashford outlet ( falls viele Regentage ) 15 Min. hatte gute Angebote.
Lilly hatte noch viele weitere Ausflugs- Tips, z.B. "Mini" Eisenbahnen, mit denen man mit Kindern mitfahren kann, was wir nicht mehr geschafft haben.
Nachteile sind einzig, dass man vor Ort nicht so viel machen kann,
die meisten Grundstücke haben typisch englische große Hecken,
also fahren müsste und die Fewo ist natürlich nicht groß, d.h. ich kam noch gut in die Toilette mit 1,75m, aber für große Menschen mit über 1,90 m ist es schwierig.
Außerdem haben wir nach einer Woche kostenlos neue Bettwäsche bekommen und Hühnereier von den eigenen Hühnern. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert, Danke, liebe Lilly.
We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in het huisje van Lily. Het is klein maar heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Door het schuine dak is de badkamer wat minder comfortabel, maar als je geen rugklachten hebt dan is het goed te doen.
De omgeving is prachtig met veel mooie dorpjes en het huisje ligt heel rustig tussen de weilanden. Mooi uitzicht vanaf het terras.
The only problem I had was with HomeAway. Having booked through them I continued to receive exhortations to download there app. Other emails from them were simply a nuisance with no relevant content at all. When I needed to contact the owner it had to be through them and even that required going through a third party so other than providing a Shop window for the property I found them superfluous. The owners and their stand-in were all delightful and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again. The property is quite unique as the site’s photographs show but it has been a well thought out conversion done with a lot of taste. Excellent
Unique accommodation in a perfect setting. Great location for exploring the sights and exceptional value even during school holidays. Most of the major attractions not more than 45 minutes away. Studio apartment was well equipped, spotless and peaceful. Lilly was very helpful, a perfect host. Bathroom is indeed small if you are a taller person but it just added to its charm. Would definately recommend it. The two resident cats are adorable, Fraser and Sid who seemed to instinctively know when residents had arrived to come and greet them.

About the host
Hosted by lilly Wilton
I love the countryside and all it has to offer but Bulltown is easily accessible to towns and villages as well, I love history, walking, tennis and my husband Julian has vintage cars and races them
Why they chose this property
The studio is near our 15th century farmhouse which we have sympathically restored over the years.
