Der allerschönste Urlaub - the best holiday
We stayed nine days in Northbourne and we had a wonderful time. The house is cosy, the garden amazing and the vincinty very beautiful. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and most of the time we just enjoyed the lovely garden. It was a bit surprising that there is no shower. Deal can be reached in 10 minutes by car. The sandy beaches in Margate or Broadstairs are good for swimming with children. We are looking forward to coming again next year. Thanks for everything.

Very lovely cottage
Our stay in de cottage was very very nice. There is a beautiful garden en the surrounding was stunning. However, the couch was very bad. You sink very deep into it. It is quite a problem for elderly people. Because we have a lot of pain in our back, it was a problem. That was a pity. But we still enjoyed it

Naturnahe Erholung mit guten Ausflugsmöglichkeiten
Infos zu Anreise und Auffinden Schlüssel waren zielführend. Haus und Garten sehr urig, gemütlich und absolut zweckmäßig. Alles da, war wir brauchten. Housekeeping direkt erreichbar und kümmert sich umgehend und freundlich. Wir würden in jedem Falle wieder kommen. Anmerkung: im Ort ist nichts los, kürzeste Entfernung zum Meer 10 Autominuten. Naturnah. Für unsere Bedürfnisse perfekt. Mehrere interessante und schöne Ausflugsziele im Bereich 20-30 Autominuten.

Leben wie bei Rosamunde Pilcher
Unser Aufenthalt war wunderbar entspannt. Wir haben täglich die Umgebung zu Fuß erkundet und eine wunderschöne Landschaft vorgefunden. Es gibt verschiedene Möglichkeiten, Rundgänge zu machen. Der Countrypark Betteshanger bietet viele Möglichkeiten, ein Café und ein Museum. In kurzer Entfernung gibt es viele wunderschöne Ortschaften, die einen Bummel wert sind. Im Pup gegenüber unseres Cottage trafen wir viele freundliche, interessierte und aufgeschlossene Menschen. Das Sunday Roast gab uns einen kleinen guten Einblick in die englische Küche. Zum Cottage: Der Garten ist wunderschön angelegt und bot auch genug Platz für unseren fußballspielenden 16-Jährigen. Wir haben häufig auch draußen gegessen. Das Haus selbst ist, wie erwartet, einfach aber liebevoll eingerichtet. Einzig die Couchgarnitur im Wohnzimmer ist durchgesessen und für Rückenkranke nicht geeignet. Die Doppelbetten waren sehr gut, wenn auch schmal und nur mit einer Bettdecke ausgestattet. Leider waren die Matratzen in den Einzelbetten im Kinderzimmer nicht so bequem. Unser 16-Jähriger hatte leider Rückenschmerzen. Die Küche verfügte über alles Notwendige. Es fehlte einzig ein großer Topf, um für 4 - 5 Personen Nudeln kochen zu können. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom Vohandensein von Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine und Trockner. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und waren stets kurzfristig erreichbar. Sie haben sich schnell um die Lösung von Problemen gekümmert. Ein wunderschöner Urlaub alles in allem.

Townsend cottage,
Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable. Well equipped but suggest a first aid box would be beneficial. One member had an accident in the cottage during our stay and unfortunately damaged a radiator. Communication with the owner was good and the problem was dealt with very swiftly. Would highly recommend Townsend cottage.

Great location, quaint village
We greatly enjoyed the Townsend Cottage. It was a perfect hub for our family (2 grandparents, parents, and 2 children - 8 & 5yrs old). There were plenty of great walking paths close by, the lovely Hare & Hounds Pub right across the street with a traditional Sunday Roast, a playground and field down the street for the kids and many friendly folks in the village. We appreciated the proximity to the ocean and many towns (& castles) to explore all within 30 minutes or less drive. If you’re looking for a place that is quiet and remote but still close enough to get out and see the sights, we’d highly recommend. The owners were very responsive as well whenever we reached out with questions.

Das Cottage entsprach der Beschreibung und den Bildern. Der Garten war auffällig schön. Die Ausstattung der Küche war grundsätzlich ausreichend, größere Töpfe und Schüsseln fehlten. Exakte Wanderkarten wären wünschenswert. Wir haben uns im Dorf sehr wohlgefühlt.

Beautiful cottage
We had a fabulous week at Townsend Cottage. It’s a beautiful cottage with a lovely garden and has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The pub opposite was closed when we were there but is reopening soon. The cottage is a short drive from Deal and we found loads of interesting places to visit for day trips.

A good, cozy and comfortable cottage.
The cottage was the perfect size for a family of four (or five). The lounge was its best feature - comfortable sofas, a cozy feel and inglenook fireplace. The basics were provided ie. towels, utensils. One of the double beds was not the most comfortable for two people but the other was fine. A little extra thought to the finer details and those staying would give it a five star rating eg. A welcome note or pack, but most importantly the removal of large limited edition paintings by Rolf Harris; not at all something that would make those who have had unwanted experiences feel comfortable (or those with a moral compass) whilst having dinner or going to bed (where the pictures are situated). Two of the three paintings are screwed to the wals so cannot be temporarily removed if preferred by visitors. Otherwise, a nice property and lovely garden.

Lovely cottage with a beautiful garden
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, in a perfect quiet location close to the coast. The cottage is spacious and very comfortable indeed, it has a gorgeous garden and a well equipped kitchen + utility room. All the bedrooms are of a good size and layout, the bedding is heavenly! With 5-6 people in our group it was great to have both a bath upstairs (delightfully relaxing with birdsong from the garden!) and a shower downstairs (note only one toilet though). And there is plenty of seating in the dining room and lounge. Nice big TV with Netflix and other apps for evenings in. It's a shame the pub across the road is closed at present but there are other very good ones a short drive or 30 minute walk away. Very good communication from the owners and the lovely housekeeper. Highly recommended!

This was a great property with a beautiful mature garden. We had a minor problem which the owners dealt with immediately. A mirror in the second bedroom would be nice.

Sweet little cottage, unfortunately our beds were damp and therefore had to have the heating in dry.
A real shame for our family holiday as the cottage is sweet but not a place in my view for under 5’s as there were a few unsafe problems in the house and garden. Feather bedding not suitable for vegans/allergy sufferers.

A Lovely Gem of a Cottage ........but.....
A time warp of a cottage - looks so tiny from the exterior but once inside the rooms were large and nicely furnished. On a sunny day the garden would be idyllic with birds and squirrels in abundance. The whole atmosphere was however ruined on a Saturday Night by people leaving the pub (very late). A taxi arrived to collect people, and kept the engine on for at least five minutes. The time was about 12.30 a.m. It does not matter how people try to be quiet there 'Goodbyes' and 'Nice to see you again' sound very loud when a person is trying to sleep. Also it transpires that the road outside, as far as I am concerned, is a rat-run first thing in the morning. The owners would find perfection if double glazing/secondary glazing/wooden shutters fitted which could be closed at night to keep out the noise. So we vacated the cottage early to come home to get some sleep!!!!!!!!! We enjoyed our days visiting Deal, Broadstairs and Sandwich.

Schnuckeliges Haus in der Nähe von Dover
Der Garten ist sehr groß und für die Kinder zum Spielen geeignet. Das Haus ist kuschelig und gemütlich. Unpraktisch ist der Teppichboden überall, auch unter dem Esstisch.
