The accommodation is excellent. We had a wonderful two weeks, the owners can’t do enough for you they are extremely friendly and even moved sheep into the field when we told them we loved sheep..There are deer, many pheasants, rabbits and lots wild birds to see.If you want a nice quiet holiday then this is the place for you.The best food we found was in the Swan Inn where we had the best Sunday roast ever. The menu is very extensive with lots to choose from.We can’t recommend this accommodation highly enough.Can grantee you will not be disappointed.

On arrival was excited to get in and unloaded was cold inside so tryed heating but wouldn't work nor did towel rail in bathroom 😑 texted owners who advised us they were on timers wasnt the case heating and towel rail never did work all week which made it hard drying towels for the week. Clothes horse was in bits on top of wardrobe in bedroom looked broke. Not a good start to hoilday . Bedroom was lovely but if wanted to stay in bed in the mornings couldn't from 4am woke up by sheep outside right upto windows and metal fence round the side of property banging up them Which made our dog unsettled every morning. Couldn't leave her outside fence to small and not much garden has sheep right upto it some mornings no comfy chairs outside only wooden ones could do with relaxing chairs outside and garden bigger. Our dog was hard to walk in mornings due to sheep everywhere. Very comfortable inside. Shower was lovely. Would highly recommend the Swan inn and white Hart to eat food beautiful. Hastling old town was awesome loved going back to dungeness. Nice being back down there. Just wished we didn't have the issues we had. Would go back but better without dogs which i wouldn't leave her at home.
