Bungalow was well equipped. Very warm and light. Our dog enjoyed the fully enclosed garden and we enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine on comfy garden chairs. The one level was perfect for my elderly parents.

Garlands Retreat
Garlands Retreat is a delightful property with a lovely garden. We had a great week staying there and the property is extremely well-equipped. The treats were lovely too! The property is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need. We would thoroughly recommend Garlands Retreat.

Great place to stay
We arrived with three Dachshunds. Apart from being very impressed with the accommodation, we checked the security of the garden which I would have to say was faultless, even our smallest at 5kg could not find her way out to escape, which was very reassuring. We would definitely stay there again if Lynne would have us. Thanks very much.

Rural country holiday
Property is large and well decorated. Garden is fenced and has patio, table and chairs. Shower was lovely and hot and in a modern bathroom. Kitchen is large and has most items but couldn't find oven gloves and microwave is ancient. Wine and jam was nice offering but no tea, coffee or milk available which was not great as nearest shop is 4 miles away! Bedrooms are well presented although main bed was small and makes alot of noise as springs in base and matress. Couldn't find hairdryer. Lovely quiet area if you want off the beaten track. Definitely need a car for any amenities. **If you have any mobility issues please be aware short but steep path that slopes two ways to front door but once in property everything is accessible.** Overall had nice stay in a pleasant place for a few days at a reasonable price. Recommend walking along the lovely canal into Canterbury and seeing the catherdal.

Lovely countryside retreat
We stayed for 4 nights in November. Was a lovely clean property with lots of room. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in, there was a large fridge / freezer and all the kitchen equipment you could need. The location was very quiet with beautiful countryside views. There was no phone signal but the wifi was good so we just enabled wifi calling on our phones- only if needed as was nice to be off the grid for a change! Lots of books, dvds and games were available to use. Would stay again.

Lovely location and property
The property is a home from home and a lot larger than we expected. Plenty of space, lots of extras in the cupboards, a large selection of dvds and a welcome gift. We loved having this as our base to go off exploring, the location is perfect for visiting Dover, Ramsgate, Margate and Deal. A highly recommended value for money option.

Lovely place to stay
We had a wonderful three night stay at Garland's Retreat over the Easter weekend. The bungalow is very clean and had everything we needed (and more). It was a great base for us to explore Dover and Deal castles and we also managed a trip to Sandwich. Yes, the WiFi is patchy, sometimes non-existent, but it certainly didn't impact our break. I'm so glad we booked - it's a beautiful place to stay.

Everything that's been said before about this bungalow, it's so relaxing and peaceful. Lynne has gone above our expectations for you don't need to bring anything but yourself and maybe your dog, who will love the secure garden. Plenty to do and see in the area. Wonderful!!
