A beautiful cottage in nice countryside very near to Dartford. Was beautiful and clean and had everything you want from home to home. Marlene was very helpful and friendly with finishing touches such as flowers in the lounge milk in the fridge and a very nice home made swiss roll. We look forward to returning in the near future.
