Quiet stay

We all enjoyed our stay. Lorraine and Mick are very welcoming hosts (Thank you for leaving us bread, milk, butter, eggs and cup cakes for our arrival). The children loved feeding the animals.

Beautiful and tranquil but fun

We were taking my 82 year old mother away for her birthday . She is fit and healthy but everything about the place made the stay more special . The gifts left were so wonderful - bread , milk, home made cakes and fresh eggs . My highlight was Bam Bam the sheep.

About the host

Hosted by laurain wallace

We like the country life with all our animals, which do make us laugh a lot with their silly ways, and I feel so lucky to get up every morning and have the views of the North downs. It's nice to have friends and guest enjoy it as much as myself and my husband, Mick.

Why they chose this property

My husband's parents bought the property, to get out of London. They fancied a bit of the good life. I moved here about 7 years ago after meeting Mick on a building site in 2000. At first I found it rather remote from the town life, but to be honest we are very central for many things, Dover, London, beautiful coast lines, Canterbury and even a pizza delivery service which we never had when I first moved here.

What makes this property unique

The fantastic views of the North downs from the cottages and the abundant wildlife you can watch from the comfort of your patio area or take a stroll up the garden and feed the chickens, ducks and geese, Bubble and Squeak our Alpacas love a piece of apple.
We supply for your first morning eggs from our own generous chickens, bread, butter and milk. There is also tea, coffee & milk.
Well behaved pets are very welcome.
