Beautiful cottage with huge garden
We all really loved staying in this wonderful cottage, it was really spacious and the living area was all open plan. Everything was provided from tea bags to toilet rolls and when we checked in it was really lovely and clean. The huge garden was amazing - our boys loved the swing and the foosball table in the games room. Out through the back gate there are great walks around the village which is lovely and quiet. Its fairly central location in Kent made it a great location to visit some wonderful seaside towns and the park and ride to Canterbury was just down the road. A lovely pace to stay!

Fabulous and stylish
This amazing "barn conversion" is not to be missed. The property is fabulous, and superbly presented. It has everything you could need, and is put together exactly how it should be. If you have a dog, or want country walks in the Garden of England, this is the place. Bridge is a fabulous little village, with amazing dining options.
James is a perfect gentlemen and could not be more helpful. This place is a solid 10.

Great cottage, great location.
The house was very clean and had everything you could need, very well equipped. Great family bathroom upstairs and shower room downstairs. Two bedrooms upstairs, one slightly larger than the other. Both had same size beds (a little small if you are a couple used to a King), comfortable and nice linens. A great location, close to Canterbury and surrounding villages. Great place to stay. Thank you James

Fantastic spacious property
As soon as we walked into the cottage we were surprised with how spacious it was. The garden and outdoor areas were fantastic and our 2 dogs loved having so much space to explore. As a family we also enjoyed making use of the rope swing and football table. There was everything we needed at the cottage. We were made to feel very welcome by our host. We genuinely loved our stay and would highly recommend this place. We are definitely planning on a return visit.

Quite cottage close to Canterbury
Charming cottage in a quiet village close to Canterbury.
You will find one bedroom downstairs with bunk beds. The kitchen/living room area is very spacious. The kitchen is very well equipped. Upstairs, you have 2 double bedrooms and the main bathroom with a large shower and a bath.
The outside space is shared with the cottage next door but you have your separate patio area and the use of the annex.
James the owner is a lovely person, very responsive and really helpful. It was really nice to have met him.
All in all, we've had a lovely time and we will definitely come back.
Thanks again James for your hospitality.

Immaculate and well situated
My wife and I plus our two pups stayed for a week while visiting the local area. We travel extensively and this was perhaps our 40th rental house that we stayed in over the pas 4 years. I have to say that it was in the top 3 as far as cleanliness! The place was spotless. Not even any dust on top of the door frames. (no I dont normally check for that but this place was so clean I went looking for some dust)
A Great location with off street parking. Quiet and close to both the Chunnel (I went to Calais one day) as well as Canterbury and other sites further afield.
A bonus each night was the large Pheasant that came each day right around dusk and strutted his stuff around the yard for a while.
We loved our stay and was sorry to leave. It felt like home. When we are back in the area, we would not hesitate to stay again.
Everything went wonderful in a sweet little village. The cottage was wonderful and well appointed, we would stay again. Our only suggestion is that the main couch and matching chair are a little tired.

Outstanding Cottage Highly Recommended
The cottage was beautifully decorated, with a superbly spacious kitchen, high quality bedding and an exceptionally high level of cleanliness. We stayed here to celebrate our friends 40th wedding anniversary. (2 couples in the accommodation and one couple in a near by campsite in their camper van). The spacious and very well equipped kitchen had exactly what we needed to cater for the six of us. James was helpful and approachable. I would highly recommend this cottage.

Perfect location
Spotless and very well equipped. It is well placed for the small village which has 3 pubs a convenience store, tea room and hairdresser all within walking distance. There is a park opposite with children's play equipment and adult exercise equipment. The accommodation is very tastefully decorated. It has a cupboard full of games and a dolls house on the landing. The second shower room is downstairs attached to the bunk bed bedroom. Because of its size we mainly used the upstairs bathroom. I think overall this was one of the nicest rentals we have stayed in. Its location makes is easy to get into Canterbury. Would recommend.

Could Not Fault It 🙌🏼
We had an amazing stay at Bridge and enjoyed meeting James immensely. The property is as lovely as it appears online. Thoughtfully equipped, clean, comfy, spacious and with lots of extras to make staying easy - ie condiments, oils, foil, washing tabs etc which are really helpful when traveling, esp from overseas.
Beds were great with plenty of linen choices for all temperatures.
Would not hesitate to return or recommend. Brilliant!!!
