This tiny cottage certainly does have everything you need for a self catering break/ holiday near Folkestone. Its not spacious by any means but we were very comfortable. However, there are two major problems that we encountered on both of our overnight stays in December. The first was the overwhelming smell of damp which no amount of air fresheners could disguise. The second problem was that on both occasions the bathroom was dirty. The bottom half of the shower was definitely in need of a good scrub with all ledges in the bathroom dusty - even behind the taps! I cleaned the toilet seat myself because there was some evidence of something down the loo when we arrived and I wasn't comfortable. If the bathroom was spotless and the smell was sorted out I would happily pay more because it has so much going for it, and then recommend it to a friend.
We has a lovely stay at old school lodge . Everything was on your doorstep yet it felt like you was in the Middle of nowhere . Highly recommended we will definitely be going back . Thank you Jane and Jamie .

Stayed for 2 nights at this beautiful lodge, ideal for 2. Lovingly decorated for the xmas period. Ideal for travel to France from the shuttle. We booked a local coach trip to Boulogne xmas market. This lodge is so peaceful and quiet.

An ideal location for our needs to explore the local area for just three days. It is not large, but importantly the space is well ordered with a great kitchen area and separate bathroom. We found all that we could possibly need,

The cottage itself was very small and compact. Basically everything in one room (with bathroom attached), but open plan and very comfortable.
I spent a week there with my wife to unwind after our wedding. We were not only pleased with the cottage itself, but also unbelievably happy with the location! 20 minutes drive to Dover, 30 to Canterbury or Faversham (London, Maidstone, Hastings all within day trip radius, although a little further)
The countryside and the area is stunning and as a small cosy place for a romantic getaway, I would highly recommend it!

We only stayed for one night (with our little dog) before departing the following morning on the Eurotunnel. The Lodge had ample off-road parking; was easy to find in a nice location, handy to Folkstone itself, Tesco store and only a few minutes to the Tunnel. Everything was neat, clean & tidy & even had milk, coffee & tea to hand. If a longer stay was required, then it was kitted out to a high standard with all amenities. The only minor negative was that the indoor aerial for the TV didn't seem really adequate and the screen kept 'freezing'. Would we stay there again - absolutely!
