  Just returned from 7 nights at Well Cottage, what a lovely, tranquil setting. Perfect place for a couple to relax but still within 30 minutes maximum of lovely coastal towns of Whitstable and Deal. Canterbury and Dover are less and 15 minutes, and beautiful countryside and walks on your doorstep. The cottage itself is next to the main house of the owner but you do not feel overlooked or checked up upon, they introduced themselves when we first arrived but other than asking if it was ok to mow the huge area that is attached to the cottage, totally dog proof by the way, and 3 1/2 acres, we very rarely saw them. Going back to the grounds, they are wonderful, our dog, and we, loved it, totally enclosed, 1/3 mowed, the rest left wild with paths randomly mowed through to benches under trees and a fire pit area (unsure if this is just a family area only), lovely. We were lucky as the weather was hot and sunny all week and we were able to make use of the outdoor space, bistro table and chairs and a bench and coffee table to sit and eat out in the evenings. The cottage is quaint and well equipped for a couple, a nice welcome box with bread, milk, juice, eggs, tea, coffee and a lovely cake was a nice surprise, well equipped kitchen with a good variety of pots and pans and utensils, with dishwasher (we didn’t use), washing machine and fridge. Access could be difficult for less mobile people to the bedroom/bathroom area via the spiral staircase but there is a back outdoor stairway that gives access, my wife has just had a replacement knee 2 weeks ago and managed ok going up the the spiral and down the outside. Overall, lovely property for a couple and small medium dog, would definitely book to return sometime in the future.

  We spent such a relaxing week at Woodstock Cottage.

  Debbie the host was lovely & showed us around and the house has everything you need. We were impressed that even items like dishwasher tablets and shower gel were provided alongside all of the usual things. It was absolutely spotless & didn’t smell at all. The beds were comfortable and the living area was also comfortable with a good size TV, books, brochures for the local area & games. It was so quiet, especially at night and even outside in the beautiful garden where we would spend time in the garden at breakfast and dinner, which was v.relaxing! We also appreciated that the main house was an eco home and there were lots of environmentally friendly features at the cottage. The house is v.close to lots of great beaches, towns and attractions. We really recommend staying.

  When we arrived Debbie was waiting and was so very helpful.

  Inside we did not expect a mini hamper of wine, biscuits, milk and coffee/tea. It was really thoughtful.The indoor layout, the decking and garden were perfect for us and we felt instantly at home. When we sat on the decking the views were amazing and the garden had a wonderful assortment of plants which attracted a variety of different birds. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, the beds were very comfortable and beautifully furnished and the bathroom floor was lovely and warm and the shower of spa standard. Overall we found the cottage charming and we had a fantastic time exploring the beaches and historical sites near by. We will be back because we have only just scratched the surface as many other places we would like to have visited.

  Had a lovely stay at the cottage- it is so peaceful and quiet there.

  A great place to stay if you want a break away from the city. There are some roadworks going on there at the moment which was a little frustrating but in general it is a nice location if you want to drive to places like sidmouth, Lyme Regis, Exeter- best places we visited was darts farm in Exeter and the anchor inn in seatown. Only downside was my mum did not find it as comfortable as she was in what I thought would be the “proper” bedroom- downstairs with a door leading onto the patio as opposed to the upstairs room which is out in the open- but it was too cold for her and even though it was set up as a double it had two single duvets on it. But overall this isn’t enough to knock it down a star and we still had a great stay, thanks Debbie :)

  Lovely peaceful cottage, beautifully decorated and furnished, and in a great location - so much to see and do within 30-40 min drive.

  There are local country walks from the cottage itself. This is the second time we have stayed at Woodstock Cottage this year - last time was in winter when the wood burning stove was so welcoming! This time we sat on the patio for breakfast most mornings, and relaxed in the seating area in the garden, which catches the sun most of the day, especially in the late afternoon and evening. We enjoyed shopping at the local farm shops which have stock of everything you could need. The cottage owner is nearby and is really helpful should you need anything, though she has tried to think of everything to make for a comfortable stay. We has a thoroughly lovely stay once again, and we will certainly be back for another visit when we can.
