We had a lovely visit and really enjoyed exploring Kent. Eastry is well placed to visit all the beautiful beaches and bays, woods and the river Stour.We would have liked to be able to open the windows downstairs during the heat wave, but this was not possible.

This was the perfect cottage for us. Great location and the cottage itself was furnished really well and to a good standard. We're hoping to come back next year and after that.
