Loved location of this accommodation in the middle of countryside overlooking fields of sheep. Lovely not to hear road noise! Everything in accommodation was good and some very nice home made cake and flowers made us feel very welcome.

About the neighbourhood
Situated in a rural location with lovely walks and scenery, great for relaxing. There are local attractions nearby suitable for families and couples and nice pubs for eating. Canterbury is only 20 minutes away and it is easy to have a day trip to London or even France. The orchard is quiet and peaceful and makes a great base to explore Kent from.
Getting around
There is a train station located in Chilham which is 10 mins by car and a 40 minutes walk. This gives a fast service to London.
