• "We had a very nice stay at Little Yaffle."

  The Hamlet of Martin was lovely and quiet and pretty. The garden was really nice even though it was getting towards the end of the season. The pub was 2 minutes' walk away and getting to various coastal towns such as Deal, Sandwich and St Margaret's Bay easy.

  so glad you enjoyed yourselves and Ossie had somd fab walks.Just want to thank you for leaving everything so tidy and clean.Real bonus for us as both still bit knackered after covid/ flu vac this wk so blessings on yr house.Early i know but have a great christmas.xas Property Owner

• "Yes this place is in a very quiet village but be prepared for the local agricultural noise associated with the countryside."

  Thankfully the garden is secured away from the road (excellent for a dog), as is the parking, because the huge tractors that rumbled past on and off during the day will open your eyes. There is a limited amount of dog walking area locally but the spinney and unofficial "paths" make for enough dog exercise. As there are no shops in the immediate vicinity, be prepared to take some food items with you (15 mins to large shops). The property owner Abbi was lovely and very helpful and the supplies left by her made my stay enjoyable. The village is quite small and pretty much the only facility there is The Lantern Pub.... definitely worth the visit, a little pricey but the food and drink is excellent. Be prepared, take wellies if you want to walk as it is a very rural area and the roads are quite narrow and the tracks are quite muddy...all in all, no complaints.

  Abbie was a great, caring host that couldn’t do enough to make our stay memorable. Her local knowledge was helpful in exploring the area and we did things on her recommendations that we wouldn’t have without her advice. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

• "We had quite a short stay really ."

  Not long enough quite honestly The property is lovely and we were met by Abi who is the perfect host and gave us all the guidance we needed. She is the kind of person you warm to immediately A couple of nice touches too Some gorgeous eggs which have to be the best eggs ever and a lovely cake which went down well with a coffee. The property has an ambience about it which my wife Jen commented on as soon as we were in and settled .It has a natural karma about it which was tangible. You know when a place feels right ,and this absolutely did It is quirky which adds to the charm .Its comfortable ,has everything you need if you went down the self catering route. We ate out mostly .We recommend the Lantern just up the road .Would have walked but it was a little damp that evening .The following day was better with sunshine so it made up for it . The garden is beautiful so when we're back it is definitely a place we'll spend with a good book. The location is so quiet save a few farm vehicles and there is absolutely no light pollution . Little Yaffle has to be up there with the best of them Abi will explain where the name little Yaffle came from .We had no idea Don't google it .Abi's explanation is much more interesting . Don't alter anything Abi.We loved it. Till next time x Trevor and Jennifer from Essex ( near Maldon)

  Abi was an amazing friendly host and couldn’t do enough for us to make us feel at home. We arrived to some lovely treats for both us and the dog and left with even more garden treats. Hosts are very dog friendly and have a nice secure front garden. The bungalow is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, a great base to visit all of the Lovely Kent Coast. The Lantern Pub (around the corner) in Martin has great food and beers. Also try the local Coastguard Pub at St Margaret’s bay. Thanks again x

The Bungalow facilitates were of a high standard and Abby gave us a warm welcome and on hand to give visitors advice for trips around the local area.

  Situated in a peaceful village the bungalow is set in a lovely garden with off road parking. Inside is comfortable and roomy for two people. Although the kitchen was adequate we did have to move things around to put our ambient food away, so another cupboard would be useful. Great location to explore Kent, we especially liked Deal and Sandwich. Lots of great walks especially over the Dover cliffs. We had a great Sunday lunch at the Smugglers in St Margaret's. We would definitely recommend this location if you are looking for a holiday rich in history and interesting places to visit.

  A cake awaited us, as did a bottle of bubbles to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary! The cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden is particularly lovely and peaceful. Little Yaffle is an annex to the hosts' bungalow but that the set up is such that you feel disconnected from the main property, as the hosts enter through a different door and have a main garden to the rear whilst Little Yaffle has the front garden. It's really well located, with a lovely dog walk nearby, fantastic local pub, and really easy to get to Walmer, Deal and Dover. We also recommend the local ice cream dairy - Solleys!

  Their cottage is in a quiet secluded spot yet only a few miles from The White Cliffs, Dover Castle, Walmer and Deal castles and The Richborough Roman site to name but a few. Little Yaffle is a well equipped annexe to the owners home although the hosts very much leave holiday makers alone. Having said that the welcome was great and nothing was too much trouble during my stay. The nearest shops are only 2 miles away in St Margarets at Cliff and probably the best review I can give is to say that I will definitely return to Little Yaffle when next staying in the area. You will not be disappointed if you decide to stay here!
