    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 and gardens were beautiful. My dog Paddy had the run of the garden. Within a short walk a beautiful meadow for him. 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. Just a suggestion it would be helpful to have a rail up to the front door. Overall a really lovely Holiday Thanks Abby.

    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!

They also gave my mother fresh eggs from their chickens and tomatoes from their garden. Beautiful garden and perfect peace and quiet. Thank you.
