Summary: Beautiful houses with everything included. Lovely comfy beds. Lovely and warm. Lovely touches including body wash, shampoo, body lotion and plenty of toilet roll!! A welcome cake, crisps, chocolate and bottle of prosecco. Good location, the house is walking distance to a couple of pubs and restaurants. Short drive to Canterbury and Whitstable.

Reena P. Jun 14, 2021 07:33:50 PM
Summary: We were a group of friends that spent the weekend together. The property had everything we could possibly want and we felt like we were in a hotel with the amazing toiletries and dressing gowns and slippers. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed and the whole place was just so beautiful. We loved the zen corner in the garden. It was just perfect. The host was amazing and so helpful with everything. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

Summary: We booked this property not actually knowing we'd be able to actually use it, as the rules around lockdown hadn't yet lifted. Abi was super flexible on this in the event that we weren't able to travel. This is a lovely modern property, beautifully decorated and very comfortable, in the quaint little village of Bridge just off the A2, easily accessible from London. We were two families with 3 kids between us. Ample space for the kids and adults to spread out. If we weren't out exploring the local area, we were in the garden in the sunshine. Abi permitted us to bring our paddling pool, good thing as well, we were blessed with glorious sunshine and heat for the 4 days we were there. We ate outside every evening but enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which by the way has everything you could possibly need. We also bbq'd a couple of times. The bedrooms and beds were super comfy, and Abi provided extra fans due to the excessive heat. Abi was available for all my questions leading up to our stay, Abi even left lollies in the freezer for the kids and a bottle of wine and biscuits for the adults which we thought was a lovely and thoughtful gesture for our stay. We would recommend Watling House for a family stay or even just with friends. With 4 decent sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, two lounge areas both with TV's, big kitchen and outdoor space, this carefully restored property is a must is any season.

Summary: Stayed for 2 nights here with family, including 20 mth old. House is gorgeous with everything you could possibly want. Lots of lovely touches and quality equipment.
