As it quickly turned out, very helpful for the 14-day stay here in the cottage
A lavish welcome package rounded the stay pleasantly.
Brionny was always open to any questions.
We can look back on a very long history of accommodation here in the country and can therefore very well judge that the stay at 3 Apsley Cottage was exceptionally good.
Thank you very much Brionny

The property is very charming, nicely decorated and most importantly very clean and tidy, very well equipped, warm and peaceful, in fact all you could wish for from a holiday cottage. We especially liked the conservatory for meal times morning and evening.The property location was charming too, very near the railway, and with a few super friendly sheep a few doors down, to the right, to visit and fed was a bonus too, to any animal lover. It was really good to be so near the small train station and to be able to catch the train into Canterbury within 6 minutes, it really enhanced our holiday. The village is very small and peaceful, with a lovely riverside walk and green spaces, plus a small but adequate village shop. Thank you very much for the wonderful welcome basket too, full of lovely essentials and treats.

The cottage was warm and cosy with books, dvds and games for those who want to chill out. The cottage is literally a minute away from the train station by foot but the trains did not disturb our break at all and, as I was working in Ashford, I could use the train and my husband had the car if he needed it.

We have already booked again for March and will certainly use again, particularly if we are visiting in the autumn and winter. Lovely little place.
