All in all a nice and quiet place to stay. However, you always have to rely on a car to go sightseeing, go shopping or do other things. But you will be rewarded with a nice apartment.

Perfect base for visiting friends and family in the area

The online photographs didn't do the property justice - it was tastefully furnished and beautifully presented with a modern kitchen and bathroom. For us it was an ideal base to return to after a busy day visiting family and friends. We quickly got used to the narrow roads!

Keepers Retreat, Ulcombe, Kent.

We were booked into Keepers Retreat but were upgraded to pheasant Retreat. Heidi was very helpful and the property was very secluded, our only dislike was the access roads to the property, very small roads but by the end of our trip we got used to them. The property and the area was beautiful and access to surrounding areas and the coast was easy. All in all a very nice property.

Lovely accommodation

Nestled amid some really scary narrow roads but lovely view. Felt it was a real shame that we had such a huge hedge blocking such a view! Lovely pub in walking distance. Handy for the big cat sanctuary which is amazing. Be aware no Wi-Fi in the lodges & phone signal is very hit & miss!

Slow down, breathe deep and enjoy!

This holiday was full of surprises - seeing the sunset through the trees on an evening walk along the lanes, beautifully clear waterways in Canterbury, and, for some reason a TV that turned itself on at 6pm each evening! (Heidi says she'll fix that! 😁) My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in Keepers Retreat. The whole place is comfortable, including the bed, though my husband says it was a bit soft for him. I found it perfect. Also blackout curtains in the bedroom. There's plenty of crockery etc - more generous than many similar places. A good size dining table and coffee table and well-equipped kitchen. And still space for our own folding table and 1000 price jigsaw! We also took some two-person games. The bathroom and shower were wonderful, with an amazing tap for the basin - like a waterfall! There's a little patio area at the front, it's visible from the other cabin but screened from the farmhouse. It's a hilly area, so be prepared if you decide to go walking. We walked a lot as there are many footpaths right from the road the farm is on - no need to go searching in the car for places to walk. Do take a torch (one is provided) if it may get dark while walking locally - no street lamps of course, and v thick tree cover in summer. Be aware the local roads are single track with passing places, so leave plenty of time for journeys when driving or walking - and put your patient head on! The Keepers Retreat felt spacious and relaxed. Only occasional sounds from farm traffic. Heidi was very friendly and welcoming but left us in peace. Our only disappointment was that we didn't get to eat at the nearby Pepper Box pub because it was closed on Mondays and that was the day we chose to visit! But it would be walking distance - maybe 15 - 20 mins pleasant stroll along country lanes. We hope to visit Keepers Retreat again, then we'll definitely eat at the Pepper Box. Apparently, they do takeaway now too. With that in mind, the nearest grocery shopping (apart from tiny convenience stores at Kingswood and Headcorn) is a Co-op in the beautiful village of Lenham - just the other side of the M20. Don't expect superstores unless you travel to Maidstone! Or takeaways (except Pepper Box.) Go prepared to cook, have picnics, or spend whole days out, eating before turning homeward. We had a very relaxing and yet invigorating time at Keepers Retreat. Slowing down, enjoying fresh air, exercise and simple food. I hope you do too.

Our little getaway

We found it very comfortable and had everything we needed, it was a lovely peaceful location, highly recommended for those who fancy a quiet getaway from everyday life. It was our first wedding anniversary and we arrived to find a card, flowers and wine in the fridge, a lovely touch, thanks Heidi.
