Perfect!

This was the most perfect little cottage with all the needed amenities. The Little Stour ran right behind the cottage and we enjoyed every evening sitting by the river until dusk. Honestly, we could not have asked for a better setting or more attentive hosts!!!

A perfect retreat

Willow tree cottage was just lovely and is very well appointed. It's setting alongside the river stour is perfect and the villase of Littlebourne has easy access to beautiful Canterbury. We stayed for three nights and our host Dianne was so friendly and helpful.

Un petit endroit

Un lieu calme, et idéalement situé près d'une petite rivière. Idéal pour visiter l'est du Kent dont Canterbury
