We had a lovely week at Deer Cottage 1. There was everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. The owner also put some milk in the fridge, a bottle of the local apple juice and some biscuits which was a nice touch. The location is perfect for exploring other parts of Kent and East Sussex. A couple of things to be aware of - the internet signal/WIFI is not the best. You wouldn’t be able to use it to download or upload anything. It was very slow. Also, if you prefer a larger towel for the bathroom, bring your own! That said, I would definitely recommend this property.
