Very easy to get to the White Cliffs of Dover. The room with the double beds was a bit challenging for one of the couples. They are taller people and they did not fit in the beds very well. The bedding and mattress was great but the frame was smaller than the mattress which made it a bit uncomfortable for them. The place was amazingly beautiful and had everything we needed. Overall we’d certainly stay there again and would still highly recommend to others, we’d maybe just switch bedrooms.

Amazing cottage, great location
We had a fantastic stay. The cottage was immaculate, really nicely decorated, cosy and in a fantastic location just round the corner from the cathedral and cobbled streets.Simon & Philippa were also great hosts with lots of helpful information. We would love to stay again.
