A comfortable cottage located on a property just outside Dartford with a beautiful garden and the benefit of the use of the hot tub and pool. The underfloor heating is great in the colder months. Dartford station also nearby so can get easily into London. Hosts were very accommodating and helpful.

Such a lovely stay, we did 6 nights. Worth mentioning it wasnt too easy a walk and find with a 2 year old in tow and luggage in the dark when we first arrived, but it was just lovely when we were settled in and Id stay again without hesitation. Had everything we needed.
