My girlfriend and I stayed here for the weekend and loved every minute. On arrive we let ourselves in and had a look around. About 10 minutes later the host turned up to welcome us, show is how to use the hottub and to check we had everything we needed. After that we were left alone in total privacy to enjoy our stay. It was such a peaceful and relaxing break. My girlfriend loved being greeted by the donkey and pony in the morning while she was having a coffee. Thank you again to the hosts, we’ll definitely be booking again.

Lovely cottage, beautifully clean and great facilities. Wonderful to have the donkey and ponies come and say hello throughout the day! Location is great for exploring around Dover as well as some nice footpaths and local pubs. Mark was really welcoming and made it clear that nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a lovely holiday!
