The Lodge

Lovely location and site on the farm. Was a bit surprised at the small size of the Lodge itself but w made it ours and had a fantastic time! Great bbq table at the back and wonderful tour of the farm by Emma. Julian and family were also lovely.

Third Stay in Cosy Cabin

Always so comfy and cosy. Made all the more special with log burner. Convenient to drive to all places, especially Crown at Finglesham. Lovely moon lit walk across fields on NYE. And welcome wine and chocolates from owner.
