★Bridge Cottages★Huge garden + Village setting + Near Canterbury + Dog Friendly

Bridge Cottages were originally the village school house built in the 1870's and now 2 comfortable and newly converted homes situated in the Kent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. They are part of the same building but have separate entrances, living rooms and kitchens allowing a big group to enjoy time together but with some privacy and extra cooking facilities. Within walking distance of the village supermarket, pharmacy and 3 good pubs, this is the perfect place for a family holiday or weekend getaway with friends. 5 mins to Canterbury, 60 mins from London and 27 mins from the Eurotunnel exit.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Superb cottages.

Beautiful cottages , very well equipped. Comfortable beds and good quality linen. Excellent location within village with a very short walk to Red Lion inn which was very welcoming for our party of 10. Food was good and not overpriced. A fantastic stay with all my family for my 80th birthday.

Excellent stay

We had a lovely stay at this property to celebrate my dads 60th birthday. It is extremely well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Our only criticism would be that the sofa has seen better days and needs replacing (and is extremely low to the ground). Would definitely recommend and would stay again

Memorable Stay

Booked these two excellent cottages for my husband's 75th. Stayed 4 nights 18-22 November 23. Well equipped, warm and in a lovely village. My two young gradsons loved the space and garden. Great walks for the dog too. Our only complaint was the red suite in the main cottage - needs replacing.

Wonderful stay in Bridge!

We had a wonderful stay at this wonderful property in Bridge! We had our grandparents with us, our 3 year old and one under one - and two dogs. The property had ample space and fantastic amenities, great walks for the dogs right at the top of the garden, and was well situated to enjoy all Bridge had to offer. It was clean, very comfortable and well maintained. James is a great host and was always on hand to help (not that we needed it). Cannot recommend more highly - will definitely be back

Ideal property and location

Fantastic week away in a great location, close to Canterbury and the coast but in a quiet village position. The properties were in excellent condition and very well stocked. The only minor point we would raise is the beds, while comfy, they wrere on the smaller double size which was a shame, particularly in the master bedroom. James as host was on hand if needed and the process for key pick up and collection was very quick and straightforward. Highly recommend!

Perfect accommodation, perfect host, perfect company

James was a very attentive host, any questions I had were answered quickly. The property was spotless and had every piece of equipment that you could need, we cooked a full roast and we had everything we needed. The open log fires were wonderful and the beds were beyond comfortable. The garden was perfect for the dogs to have a good run around in. Everything was perfect.

Lovely cottages. Rented for our daughter's wedding. Beautiful gardens and woods. Had two dogs with us who loved it as well as the kids in the party. Peaceful but near places to eat, drink and mini mart. James was a great host not intrusive but there when needed. Highly recommend these cottages. Thank you James for being a great host!

Such a beautiful property In a lovely location, superb host

My my siblings and our partners stayed here for my sisters 30th for a long weekend and we had the best time. The house is absolutely stunning and so clean, we had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking , eating drinking and cleaning up. The house had a separate section with bedrooms , bathroom , kitchen and lounge area which is perfect if you want some quiet time. The attention to detail in the property was great and you can tell the host makes a real effort to make the guests happy and comfortable. We couldn’t be happier with our stay, we wish we could have stayed longer. Dog friendly and family friendly. I would highly recommend staying at this property, one of the best I’ve stayed in by far.

Great stay

We had a wonderful stay, four generations staying together for Christmas. The house was lovely, the garden was enjoyed by the kids and dogs. The host was amazing, leaving us to it but letting us know he was available if needed. The properties could do with a larger fridge freezer as we were accommodating for 10 people over Christmas. We all had a lovely stay and really enjoyed ourselves and the property. Thank you James.

We rented both cottages for 5 adults and 4 children to stay. The cottages are beautiful with comfortable beds and high quality linen and bath towels provided. The garden is incredible and beautifully maintained with the fantastic addition of a summerhouse with table football. We had a wonderful stay and James was incredibly attentive, answering any questions straight away. We hope to be back, it was just perfect.
