    "We spent a lovely week at The View."

    The View is an apt name as it proved a splendid view to wake up to in the morning of beautiful Kent countryside. Thank you Lloyd for being so helpful with our last minute mattress issue, he acted promptly and addressed our concerns, communication was good and the abode was equipped for an enjoyable time. Everything was as described in the literature and photographs.

    "What a gem."

    We were looking for a base for a week in Kent and The View was perfect. Easy to find and with good transport links deeper into the county this was ideal for our needs. The setting is great with far reaching views over fields. The property was clean and well maintained with everything we needed for our stay. All the furniture is comfortable and the bed gave us the best sleep we've ever experienced in a holiday cottage. The owners are very friendly but don't intrude unless approached and when we raised one (very minor) issue it was resolved immediately. We'd definitely like to return and spend more time at The View.

    Hi. Thanks so much for your review, really pleased you enjoyed your stay so much. Hope to see you again soon! Property Owner

    "The cottage has been beautifully converted, decorated and appointed and is very comfortable to stay in."

    It has everything one needs for a holiday, although manuals for the oven and dishwasher would have been helpful for us older less techie types! The bed is extremely comfortable, there were plenty of lovely towels and we appreciated the recycling bin and the classy bathroom toiletries. The road noise would I think spoil use of the outside space, but as it was October and the noise was barely audible inside, this wasn't a problem for us. Faversham is a very attractive town and it was a great base for us to visit family in Dartford and local attractions by train as well as car.

    The owner was away on holiday when we were there his parents were looking after the property we did not say anything to them but we found the property to be dirty and in need of a good clean

    Hi there. I'm sorry you felt the property wasn't clean. I clean the property myself evey time & it was done the morning of your arrival. In my message to you I mentioned that I was available via text should you have had any problems. I would have been happy to ask my mother to clean anything you felt wasn't up to standard.

FAVERSHAM

Chilham 7 miles; Whitstable 9 miles; Canterbury 9 miles.

Faversham is a thriving market town in the heart of Kent. With many interesting places to see and things to do, this lovely town offers visitors the chance to explore, shop, cycle, walk, swim, fish, or dine out and also boasts the oldest brewery in Britain dating back to 1698. It was due to the brewery that "hop picking" became the family holiday for many families living in London, right up until the 1950s. During the summer, thousands of people would descend on the fields around Faversham, put up their tents and spend the days "hop picking", thus making this one of the best places to enjoy a pint or two! Faversham is proud of its history and the town is even named in the Domesday Book and with its cobbled streets and medieval houses, tiny quaint pubs and many listed buildings, this town enjoys remembering its fascinating history. For those looking to experience the outdoor life, Faversham has more than enough to keep you entertained, why not take a swim in one of the all-year-round swimming pools? In the summer, Faversham offers three outdoor pools with diving boards, a paddling pool and white water rapids, you can even pack a picnic and make a day of it, there is plenty of grass around the pools for picnics and for children to play on. Around Faversham there are numerous walks, just pick up a leaflet from the tourist office and make your choice. If you fancy an evening at the cinema then the Royal is just the place to visit. Dating back to 1936 it still offers visitors a traditional experience with usherettes to guide you to your seat and popcorn and ice cream served during the interval. If visitors are looking to discover further afield then Canterbury, Rochester and Whitstable are all just a short drive away. For those who want to explore even further afield then why not sail away on a ferry or travel on the Channel Tunnel, either way you can be in France or Belgium in time for lunch and back in time for tea! This is a wonderful area and well worth exploring.
