    The cottage was very clean and had everything needed for a week away. The location is very peaceful and perfect for us to visit the places we wanted to go. Being able to walk round the farm and visit the goats and other animals was a bonus.

  • "We had a wonderful stay over bank holiday weekend at the Kingfisher."

    Pam and Alan were so lovely, and so was the farm and all the animals to walk around and visit. Pam greeted us on entry and showed up around, and even gave us a bottle of wine and some shortbread which was very much appreciated! We enjoyed wandering the farm in the evenings, saying hello to all the animals and listening to the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and there was enough room for two of us and our dog. The property was a great distance from everywhere we wanted to visit, and the weather (although couldn't be planned) really showed up for us. The only things that could have been improved would be a slightly more comfortable sofa and bed, and maybe a window for when you're cooking, however none of this took away from our 5 star stay at the Kingfisher. Thank you from Ally and Elliott :)

  • "Enjoyed our stay , very relaxing ."

    Pam and alan went the extra mile for us providing us with little extras, made us free very at home. When travelling from overseas for a lengthy time laundry becomes an issue and while Pam did ours , to have that facility ourselves might be a good suggestion.

    You can see how much effort they have made on the farm to make it a excellent place to visit .

    We were greeted with a bottle of wine and shortbread. Pam and Alan were wonderful, when we had a gps problem Alan offered to guide us the next morning not only that but he set up my gps on my phone, which proved so helpful. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to meet the animals and missed the peacock! Thank you to both of them for making our stay so pleasant.

LYMINGE

Folkestone 5 miles; Hythe 6 miles; Canterbury 12 miles; Dover 14 miles; Ashford 15 miles; Ramsgate 21 miles; Whitstable 22 miles.

The village of Lyminge lies in southeast Kent and is only five miles from Folkestone and the Channel Tunnel, on the road passing through the Elham Valley. Lyminge is surrounded by farmland and ancient forests. There is a wide variety of flora and fauna and wildlife in the surrounding area, including badgers, various species of deer and wild boar which are thought to have escaped from farmed populations. It is a thriving village with lots of local shops, a pub serving excellent food which also hosts regular event evenings, a coffee shop, a hairdressers and a library. The parish church is well worth a visit, being the oldest building in the village; it has stood since 633AD and has had a rich and varied past. Lyminge has been the focus of many archaeological digs in recent years, and jewellery, weapons and glassware have all been uncovered. Numerous footpaths and bridleways criss-cross the meadows and woods around this lovely part of Kent, so why not pack a picnic, dust off the metal detector, and set off to explore ancient woodland and see if you can find a piece of the past? Lyminge is perfectly situated for trips to historic towns and the coast. In less than 20 minutes you can be strolling along cobbled streets and admiring Canterbury Cathedral or lazing on a beach enjoying the sounds of waves as they wash against the shore. With the Channel Tunnel only five miles away, why don't you spend a day enjoying the delights of Belgium or France? Shop for cheese, wine and chocolates, saunter along by the Seine, dine alfresco at a quaint little bistro and still be home before the sun goes down. A wonderful holiday location.
