  The owners contacted us before our arrival date and gave some very useful information. On arrival Kim came to see us and gave us an overview of the village and the area. He was most helpful and very welcoming. A comprehensive welcome pack was left for us, for which we were very grateful. The cottage is equipped with everything you could need and more, and is very warm and comfortable - the beds were fabulous! We were unable to get the TV to work so Kim and Hilary's daughter-in-law came to sort it out for us - in a matter of minutes! The views from the upstairs windows over the ancient village roof-tops and the fields beyond was to die for, as was the village itself, which comes straight out of a Miss Marple murder mystery, and so close to Canterbury too. We didn't use our car once during our stay, opting to take the train from Chilham station (a 15-20 minute walk from the Barn) into Ashford (for the retail outlet) and Canterbury in the other direction. Both took about 10 minutes. Remember to take your torch (I believe one is supplied) if you are walking from the station after dark as the road back to the village is unlit with no pavement in parts. We ate bar nibbles at The White Horse at the top end of The Street on the evening we arrived, and had a fun evening there on Friday for the Jazz evening. We ate at The Woolpack, at the bottom end of The Street, on Saturday evening which was beautiful and had a great ambience. I truly did not want to leave, but as we go to Canterbury a couple of times a years, we will definitely be back. Thank you to Kim and Hilary we loved it!

  An absolutely fabulous stay at the Plush huts in Kent! We arrived to a very generous welcome pack. All basics are also supplied and kitchen is well equipped. We stayed in the 2 bedroom 'Warren', which sits in its own (low level) fenced and gated area. Spacious bedrooms at either end, with plenty of storage and a lovely en suite shower room in each. Living/dining/kitchen area sits in between the bedrooms, and opens out onto a private deck (complete with deck chairs!) overlooking the adjacent fields. Communal outside area is an amazing facility which the whole family enjoyed. I loved the wild life cameras showing nesting kestrels. The setting is beautiful and so peaceful. Our hosts were extremely helpful . A lovely pub within walking distance where food and service is good. Some of the family enjoyed watersports nearby. Much fun had by all. I genuinely didn't want to go home. Would definitely like to book this holiday again!!

  Was a wonderful stay in a lovely place close to the middle of Chilham village. The place was very comfy and had a good selection of modern appliances such as a pod coffee machine, dishwasher, quooker tap, washing machine, big shower and one of the most comfortable beds and sofa you could ask for. We also had everything we needed for our two weeks stay including the usual tea, coffee, guides for the home appliances and local places to visit/walks to keep us busy. For anyone wishing have a good drink or wonderful local food, nearby is two pubs (one is an inn), a tearoom, a wine bar and even a wonderful farm shop with a 10/15min walk to the major train station, if like us, you come by public transport. The owners were more than helpful and were there instantly when we needed help with a minor issue. Honestly, they were both the best hosts I have ever interacted with for our stay so would be delighted to go back.

  We absolutely loved the peaceful countryside stay at Andrews cottage, it was such an amazing experience and I would definitely love to visit again. Andrew our host was so thoughtful and caring, he made sure we were in good hands, he checked on us during the storm and made sure we had everything we needed. On one occasion we needed some flour and Andrew was very generous and brought some over to us. We also cooked everyday. I was really impressed with the kitchen as it was fully equipped with all types of utensils to dishwasher tablets. We were even more impressed to find a cupboards stocked with all types of spices, salt, pepper and oil. We also arrived and found fresh eggs, Bread, milk and honey. We loved the taste of fresh honey so we also bought some from Andrew and took it away. Thank you so much for providing a peaceful, tranquil place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  Arrived for a fantastic 3 day break at the Warren on 1st April. From the outside the accommodation appears pretty and sympathetic with its surroundings, whilst on the inside is fully equipped, luxurious and spacious. Our welcome pack included delicious fresh bread, eggs and honey from the farm. Shortly after arrival we took advantage of the clear skies to star-gaze in the hot-tub, a really memorable experience. During our stay we took the 30 minute walk to the beautiful Sissinghurst Castle Gardens which is a highly recommended visit. This was probably our biggest exertion however and the majority of the weekend we spent relaxing in the accommodation, gardens and hot-tub. Heather and Andrew were fantastic hosts and made us feel truly welcome. We genuinely couldn’t rate our holiday any higher and cannot wait to return…especially when the Boathouse opens!
