This was a wonderful property. Communications from the host were excellent. We had a little difficult finding the property for the final bit, but if you follow the what3words location to venues.canyons.compiler, it will take you to the driveway entrance.All in all - highly recommended.

Cosy lovely cottage
The cottage was brilliant and a short drive frim Canterburry. The hosts were very helpful when we arrived and needed sime help with the heating. The surounding nature and the 12 cenury church added to the charm. We had an amazing experience.

Wonderfully relaxing in beautiful surroundings
The Old Schoolroom is restored with much care and taste resulting in a very comfortable cottage. There are lots of public footpaths to explore when stepping out the door and beaches and Canterbury are within a short drive through the very beautiful landscape.
The hosts are very friendly and everybody seems to be raving about the welcome tray and fresh cut flowers... and they are right to :-)
