Beautiful little place to stay. Extremely comfortable, very well-furnished and everything you could want. The hosts are lovely and very welcoming. We had a wonderful relaxing few days here and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again and recommend to anyone thinking of booking.

Excellent well equipped cottage which was spotlessly clean. Lovely linens and furniture making a perfect holiday home for two people.The host, Sharon, was very friendly and welcoming. She was happy to answer questions and give advice on the local area.The Potting Shed was in a perfect location for us to attend a local music festival and we hope to return next year.

Lovely cozy cottage with phenomenal hosts! Sharon and her sweet dogs and lovely family were exceptional hosts. They made me feel instantly welcomed and cared for, and the property was safe, cozy, and perfectly homey. There were great recommendations for the area and the local pubs were great, and all dog friendly! The added touches of cookies and crackers and fresh milk helped with grocery costs, and it was nice collecting the keys directly from Sharon. It was a great and quiet location but close enough to amenities and great tourist spots (les than 30 mins to Dover Castle and the white cliffs, les than 15 to great, relatively flat hiking spots, etc) Would happily return for another stay! The WiFi was verrrry slow so I had some challenges connecting to my email and during a call with my lawyer for residency purposes, but otherwise it was a delight!
