Direct access from the house ensures year-round enjoyment. Lockable doors provide added safety. You will have sole and exclusive access to the pool during your stay. The pool is accessible by a door at the far end of the snug room, allowing you to avoid the elements by staying inside.

Great rural stay for a short distance away from London. The hosts were flexible, responsive and keen to accommodate us, even giving us a very late checkout, enabling us to get the most of our weekend. The pool was solely ours to use, a decent temperature and the highlight of the property. Inside, it was more spacious than anticipated and our kids particularly loved playing the PS4 with the VR headset - great for our winter stay.The property was well located for a trip to Canterbury where we visited the Roman Museum.Though we didn't use the garden due to cold weather, it looked bigger than expected and would have been great in warmer weather. The property is detached giving guests privacy.Definitely recommended!
