This was everything advertised and better. Lexie was about the best host we have ever had. She lives so close by that she was literally there to check on us and ask if we needed anything or any recommendations almost EVERY time we were coming and going. She even shared her own groceries with us when we realized that everything was closed on our arrival day. The cottage is adorable and across from a Michelin star restaurant (Bridge Arms) and down the street from a wonderful farm-to-table old manor inn (The Pig) where we had memorable meals. The only thing I'd caution is that it's out-of-the way and we found that the bus service was unreliable. Plan on taxis if you don't have a car!

Amazing property in quaint village just outside of Canterbury, UK. Owner was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We had plenty of space and the full kitchen and washer/dryer met our needs perfectly. Parking was a little challenging, but definitely manageable. Would book again in a heartbeat!!!

We had a wonderful stay with this cottage in a great location. You could reach Canterbury in a short time by bike and yet the cottage was in a quiet location. Also London is easily accessible by train from Canterbury. The village of bridge also had great offers for us with several restaurants, tea rooms and a small super market. We explored the area with our bikes. The cycle paths were well sign posted. The cottage, with its lovely and pretty furnishings, gave us a wonderful holday with great experiences and insights. The cottage was well equipped with wifi, TV and modern kitchen appliences. The landlords were very nice and available to answer any questions.
