The garden flat was beautiful and we had no troubles with the property at all. The roads in Surrey are a bit tricky at times, but everything else about our stay was wonderful. Louise was helpful and informative without being intrusive. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend the garden flat highly.

Ground Floor Flat not far from Dorking

The property is fully self-contained - provided all the ‘necessary cooking, cleaning and washing appliances and amenities. Very comfortable and quiet living conditions. Beautiful setting with views of the Surrey Hills. Wonderful gardens with lawns, flowers, plants and hedges around the building itself, with extensive grounds then leading down to a large body of water just outside the perimeter of the property. Highly recommend.

Ideal country home away from home

This is a great location for exploring the Surrey countryside. A well equipped kitchen with everything in good condition and a comfortable bed for a great night's sleep. The outdoor space allowed us to enjoy the beautiful garden and have direct access to the many hiking trails in the area. All together a great spot to enjoy a relaxing holiday.

A home away from home

Our stay in the garden flat was perfect for us and we look forward to returning some day in the future. Upon arrival we were greeted with a tray of tea, bread, granola cake on the kitchen table and milk in the fridge. From the day we arrived till the day we left the property, we felt welcomed by our hosts Louise, Peter, and B their dog, (well trained and eagerly checked in with us daily). When we chose this property, we thought we would have to quarantine, which it turns out was not required due to a change in UK rules. It was a good choice regardless. The flat is clean, comfortable, and quiet. The internet connection worked great as my husband worked remotely whilst there. I had a fully equipped kitchen where I could cook and bake. The gardens are beautiful as is the surrounding area for walks in the countryside. The location is ideal for access to the local village, railway to London, or main roads to other parts of the country. We felt very lucky to have stayed here on the first leg of our extended trip through the UK to visit family and friends. We hope to return someday.

A good summer choice

The flat worked perfectly for us and was only 5 minutes from Dorking which has excellent shops. The weather was very good during our stay so we were able to eat outside overlooking the garden which was most pleasant. Everything was there that we required.

Honestly - perfect!

This is a wonderful place to stay. I quarantined here after arriving from the US and it turned out to be a perfect place to stay. The flat is warm and cozy with lovely views over the garden and the North Downs. There was a delicious loaf of bread, butter, tea and milk waiting for me which was most welcome. Louis is so easy to deal with and the communication was smooth. There was plenty of room for me to work at the table and look out at the view. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and all the appliances are up to date. Comfortable bed and sitting room furniture. I really cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I stayed during my quarantine after arriving back in the UK so spent a lot of time in the cottage. Very comfortable and clean with everything you need for a self catering break. Louise was lovely and always available with suggestions and to answer any questions. Highly recommend.

A peaceful and comfortably appointed home away from home. A beautiful garden and access to walks in the North Downs. A short drive away from Dorking and the M25. We will return for a longer stay and to meet up with Bea the lab. Charming hosts. Highly recommended

Schöne erholsame Zeit in Surrey

Das Ankommen war sehr unkompliziert, die Vermieterin Louise war nicht da, es lag aber alles für uns bereit, inklusive Tee und Kuchen. Das Anwesen hat einen wunderschönen Garten - ein kleiner Teil ist nicht für Gäste zugänglich - und eine sehr freundliche Hündin. Westcott selbst ist klein, hat aber ein paar nette Pubs (wir mochten den Prince of Wales); Dorking hingegen hat fast alles was man braucht, inklusive ein paar Klamottenläden zum bummeln. Von dort aus kann man auch mit dem Zug nach London rein fahren- sehr zu empfehlen. Man sollte sich unbedingt von Louise ein paar kleine Wanderungen empfehlen lassen. Die Gegend ist sehr schön und sie kennt sich gut aus.

Ein toller Urlaub

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Lagen ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Surry Hills, nach Brighton und London. Die Vermieterin ist überaus freundlich, zuvorkommend und immer hilfsbereit. Die Wohnung ist sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es ist alles vorhanden was benötigt wird. Der Garten ist außerodentlich schön und wir werden die Besuche von Bee vermissen.
