Liked: Cleanliness, location
Nice accommodation, but needs to be updated.
We did not enjoy our stay very well. It was okay, but not very special. The accommodation was clean. It was small. Just enough space for two adults. We think the bathroom and the kitchen are in need for a update. The garden felt overgrown. Wifi didn't work properly. Surroundings are very nice.

Klein aber fein
Ein gemütliches 2 Zimmer Ambiente im ehemaligen Pferdestall, old-englisch und mit sehr lieben Gastgebern! Nicht allzu viel Platz, die Gegend schönes Kent. Gerne wieder!
