★Tulip Tree Cottage★ Huge Garden+village setting+near Canterbury+dog friendly

Tulip Tree Cottage was originally the village school house built in the 1870's and now a comfortable and newly converted home situated in the Kent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within walking distance of the village supermarket, pharmacy and 2 good pubs, this is the perfect place for a family holiday or weekend getaway with friends. This cottage has its own secluded patio with seating and is surrounded by flowers and plants from Spring onwards - perfect for breakfast and long summer evenings. The lawn and woods is shared with the guests in the cottage next door, but there's plenty of space for everyone. 5 mins to Canterbury, 60 mins from London and 27 mins from the Eurotunnel exit. 10% discount for 7 nights+.

Perfect place to stay for visiting Kent
Lovely location. Clean and well equipped. Owner was particularly helpful especially when we had an unfortunate power cut ( not owners fault). Car charging facility much appreciated. Good places to eat within walking distance. Would recommend The Pig fir something special.

What a great and lovely cottage!
We had a great time in this beautifull cottage with the amazing garden. Our kids (12 and 9) and dog had the time of their lives too. They could run, play outside and create house of trees. All was available in the house. And the communication with James was just perfect. We were also very thankfull for his flexibility on our challenging circumstances. Thanks so much James!

Amazing Stay
We moved to Bridge for 5 weeks before departing to Spain. James was a wonderful host who went over and above to help us (even printed off our travel labels when we realised there was no way for us to d so!) We have a dog who was more than comfortable and the walks around Bridge are superb, we were walking 6 miles a day and not once got bored of the walk. The people of Bridge are the nicest that we have met in a long time. The pubs in the Village are 10/10 I even used the dentist and the Beauty Salon in the village whilst staying and the service was impeccable. Short trip to Canterbury by car, if required. I cannot recommend James and his cottages enough Love, Sally, Tom & Rosa

A Perfect Cottage
We could not have enjoyed our stay here anymore than we did; we loved everything about Tulip Tree Cottage! We were warmly greeted and access to the property was quick and easy. The cottage has been beautifully renovated and the finish and furnishings throughout were of the highest quality. The cottage is extremely well equipped and nothing was lacking. The private patio was a delight and the very large garden and wooded area were wonderful. In the evenings we took a glass of wine to the bench under the trees and sat looking back at the cottage, listening to the song thrushes and blackbirds singing. Reading the guest book it is clear that we are not alone in loving Tulip Tree Cottage and hoping to return. I have never read a guest book so full of positive comments and happy visitors! I would like to add a more personal comment too; travelling with someone who has Alzheimer's is usually a nightmare, my husband does not cope well with new places and our visits to see family in England are usually stressful and difficult. However, the moment my husband entered Tulip Tree Cottage he was calm and at peace. There is a wonderful ambience to the cottage and its tranquillity worked wonders for us. We loved every minute and came home feeling properly rested - for the first time in 10 years. A huge and heartfelt 'thank you' to James and your lovely partner.

Super Dog friendly cottage
Great Cottage with super back garden. Very convenient for dog owners and location to Canterbury. Local shop and pubs close by serving great food. Only negative is double beds are quite small so if you are a large frame could be a tight fit.

Super mooie locatie in klein dorp. Perfect uitgangspunt om Canterbury te bezoeken. 10 Minuten met de bus. Mooi verbouwd "oud" schoolgebouw met een prachtige tuin. In de omgeving schitterende wandelingen te maken . Zeer vriendelijke eigenaar. Al met al een aanrader om naartoe te gaan. Wij hebben genoten!

Wonderful, well equipped cottage in a small village with very comfortable beds and pillows. Had everything we required for a week long stay.

What a hidden Gem!
We stayed at Tulip Tree Cottage for 3 days, and how lucky were we go have found this hidden gem!! Beautiful cottage very well presented, with everything you need for a stay away! James is a wonderful host, met us on arrival, after arriving 2 hours after we planned to due hold ups on the journey! He told us how everything worked and places to eat . The cottage was spotlessly clean. We loved our stay and so did our Dachshund the garden and walks near by are wonderful, and plan to return in the summer!!
