Lords View is well located for Ashford, Canterbury, Rye, New Romney, Dymchurch, & Hythe. Having an hourly train service from nearby Ham Street was useful - members of our party went by train to the first 3 of those locations. The home was warm, clean & comfortable with everything we needed. Peter is very friendly as is Sam his collie dog.

Lords View is an absolute gem of a holiday let. The property is set in a very peaceful setting with far reaching views in all directions. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival, extremely well equipped and we found it very comfortable. The accommodation is light and spacious, and a lot of thought and care has been made to make visitors feel at home here.We were delighted that the garden was dog proof and the fact that a footpath led from the farm, so we could explore the local countryside.Peter, the owner, was very friendly and helpful.We had a lovely holiday and hope to visit again.

An extremely comfortable and welcoming accommodation in a beautiful quiet location in Romney marsh. The view of the encompassing "Saxon Shore" is outstanding. The cottage is modern with all the facilities you could wish for. The owner - Peter - and his dog - Sam - were very welcoming and helpful on arrival, explaining how everything worked. Being amongst farms all amenities require a short drive. However, we found the location convenient for visiting all the corners of east Kent.
