I stayed in one the cottages and it was super; clean, cosy & warm and designed to a high standard. The private garden a great addition. The restaurant and food is good quality and I thought priced reasonably. Chilham is a pretty village and the White Horse Inn is also super for a drink with the locals. Canterbury is a short drive, or train journey so a great place if you want to visit the city but be in the country. I loved it.

Stunning Decor

I arrived quite late so did not use the bar of restaurant, however in the morning did find a gorgeous ambience, very Christmassy now to. My room 14 was in stable block, unfortunately fir me i was above the washing machine so between 22:45 & 01:30 my sleep was broken each time it hut a spin cycle with a loud tapping from corner of the room. The room however was stunning, beautiful decor throughout. The bathroom taps need switching over and was advised could drink tap water so when it ran hot i thought it was maybe as it was next to radiator, then realised hot ran cold. Bathroom is compact but very adequate, im not small size 18, but it could be a bit cramped for someone bigger. Bed was comfy, breakfast good, coffee bit brewed and bitter but woke me up for the ling day ahead.
