The property is a nice size and great location for a quiet rural stay. Communications with the host was good. We enjoyed our stay however the bed and sofa were uncomfortable. The shower was great, although the towels were on the small side. It was also a shame that the TV had very little options, couldn't even get ITV! Would have been nice to have watched a movie in the evening after a long day out. For what they cost a TV upgrade to a smart one is very much needed.
After a long journey with heavy traffic it was a pleasure to have a warm greeting by the owners and to rest in this beautiful cottage . We had a lovely time at Lympne wild animal park, and the next day at Canterbury cathedral . Would highly recommend this accommodation and its setting in the countryside is just perfect
Had a wedding at Pirt Lympne!Ideal location ,lovely setting with fab views!Lovely clean comfortable accommodation for our 2 night stay!Great pub to walk to for some food the first night !Lots of places to visit nearby .
Communication with Tony was easy. Proberty was clean and had everything we needed. The location was absolutely perfect. Very relaxing which was just what we needed. Would highly recommend
This is wonderful accommodation in a picture postcard setting. Property is extremely well presented with everything you need. Location could not be better. If you like village settings and archetypal country pubs on your doorstep, then this is for you. Highly recommended.
It was a beautyful cottage, best place to chill either in the cottage or in the Garden. There was also place for our bycicles. We enjoy to explore Kent by bike or car also the pubs near by. We can commend Riverside cottage.
Peaceful, relaxing stay in delightful accomodation
The perfect accomodation for 2, very clean with lovely decor and everything we required. Although next to owners home, felt private with Own entrance and lovely views of the countryside from a small patio area. In a nice village location and the choice of 2 local pubs both very friendly with great food and one only 2 mins walk down the road. We enjoyed Rye, Hythe,walking in the area and the Steam railway, would have visited Port Lympne wildlife reserve if weather had been better. But lots to do within half hours drive from this accomodation. Highly recommend.
Pleasant little cottage on edge of village. Convenient for lots of places and easy access. Nice to have a topsheet on the bed for hot weather, as lots of places don't which is crazy hot with just duvet for summer nights. Would have been nice to have tea and milk, unusual not to be supplied, same for shampoo. The sofa in lounge rather uncomfortable for sitting for any length of time, would be better to have two comfy armchairs. Would give cottage a four out of five for these reasons.
Host was a little impatient on day of departure by turning up with cleaning gear at 10.30am and not speaking, or asking if we'd enjoyed our stay, just as we were leaving.
We had three nights in this beautiful cottage. We had a friendly welcome from our host, the accommodation was spotless and exactly as the photos showed. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather which enabled us to walk around this village and sample the hospitality of both local pubs but even better to sit out on the west facing patio with a glass of wine and watch the sun go
down. Would certainly recommend.
My daughter and I were delighted with our stay - the sunny patio and garden area look out onto the countryside. The property was well equipped and the bathroom was roomy with plenty of storage space. The decor was very pleasant. Location for us was perfect for visiting family in Ashford, only a 15 to 20min drive away
This more than lives up to the photos, is spotless and immaculate, and the hosts are great.
The location in a quiet village, with a great pub/restaurant at 100 yards away is difficult to beat.
Can't find a single fault
This is a spacious, well maintained & well equiped cottage reflecting a lot of thought & care from the friendly & informative owners.
Gorgeous countryside view from the lounge room. Nice bathroom & shower.
Great location for visiting the highlights of Kent.
What a fabulous little holiday cottage. It is well equipped, modern and very comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything that you might need. Incredible views from the back garden, and as it faces west, you get to see gorgeous sunsets. A small parking space outside which is your space, ditch the car and take a five minute walk up to the pub for dinner. Fantastic food but do book in advance. I would highly recommend this property.
Lovely, cosy, clean cottage with fabulous views in a lovely village. The hosts are very friendly and informative.
It's a perfect location for us when visiting family, we are glad to have found this little gem.
Smaakvol ingericht /schoon
Veel informatie over de omgeving voorhanden.
Goede instructies bij evt calamiteiten.
Omgeving is heel mooi evenals het uitzicht vanuit het huisje
Zou dit zeker aanraden.
Minpunt is het bed. Dit is laag en smal. Voor wat grotere mensen niet prettig.
De matras is prima. Indien dit wordt aangepast is het wat ons betreft voor herhaling vatbaar.
Netjes, gezellig en volledig ingericht huisje. Het bed vonden wij erg smal, maar het matras sliep wel heerlijk. Prima compact huisje, met heel veel landkaarten en flyers om uitstapjes in de omgeving te doen.
Vivien & Tony welcome you to Riverside. We have live here for 25 years - watching our three children grow up and fly the nest!
We are a retired couple enjoying our time together in the heart of Kent. Riverside Cottage has been a dream to develop as we enjoy meeting people and making their stay an enjoyable one.
This stunning self-catering holiday cottage is a short drive from the historic City of Canterbury (around 25 mins) which boasts a wealth of visitor attractions. In 1170 Archbishop Thomas Beckett was famously murdered in the Cathedral and thousands of Pilgrims play homage each year. The ancient ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church all form part of UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby are the remains of a Norman Castle built on 1080 by the Normans and the large stone keep was largely constructed in the reign of Henry1 (1100-1135) all are reminders of the City's history, heritage & culture. Other attractions include, The King's mile, St Dunstan's, West Gate Towers, Northgate and The Canterbury Tales. You can take one of the River Tours and absorb the City with a boat trip along the River Stour taking in the architecture and scenic views. There are museums, walking trails or guided walks to help you enjoy the narrow winding lanes. Canterbury is best explored by foot. Canterbury is a place steeped in tradition and is also a modern and vibrant city with welcoming bars, pubs, nightclubs, fine restaurants, and a High Street with independent and high street names. Canterbury Golf Course is 1 mile distance from the City Centre and was designed by Henry Colt ain 1927 at the same time as designing Wentworth. There are two famous âlinksâ courses at nearby Sandwich, Royal St Georges (home to The Open Championship in 2011) and Princes (Open Golf qualifying course).
The evening can be spent watching the sunset from the lounge or if warm enough - from the sun loungers on the private patio. With panoramic views across the fields - almost as far as Ashford in the distance. And if you are lucky to spend the Autumn at Riverside you will be amazed at the fields full of Pumpkins or Rape seed oil plants.
