"Staying at The Bell House in Wickhambreaux for 2 weeks was amazing. The house was built in the 1500s, apparently as a public house. It’s filled with old, hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, fireplaces in every room, hand-wrought iron latches, leaded windows, charm galore. You are reminded in every room how many people have lived there over hundreds of years. The house is very large, with 4 amply-sized bedrooms, a spacious lounge, a “great room” of sorts - being a 15X15’ square room with an excellent kitchen along one side and an 8-foot long table which serves as both an ample prep space and dining table. There are two new and sparkling bathrooms and don’t be put off by the fact they are both downstairs. It’s just something you get used to. We had no trouble whatsoever with 3 couples sharing them. The main stair case is easy to negotiate, and see below about the exciting back staircase! And then, there are other rooms and spaces, such as the landing room at the top of the main stairs, with reading chairs - a perfect little getaway place. Or the laundry room which also has the microwave and a door out to the truly lovely and BIG garden, with its stream at the back end through a safety gate. It’s filled with trout. Or the small vestibule room behind the downstairs twin bedded room and the bathroom. From the vestibule rises one of the best parts: a tiny, winding staircase up to the other twin-bedded room. I slept there, all cozy and quiet, and delighted in my adventures up and down those stairs. Kids would love it! And there are plenty of handholds, so I never felt unsafe, but it’s probably not for everyone. Then there’s the huge walk in “pantry” (a 20-foot storeroom actually) with its large second fridge and yards of shelves. We stored all our food there and the 6 of us had great dinners every night. We often had breakfast or tea and coffee out in the garden. The kitchen is about the best-equipped of any of the many rentals we’ve enjoyed. The owners must be good cooks because they have virtually every kind of tool or pot you need. They also have invested in top of the line appliances, so the gas cooker/oven, the fridges, the dishwasher, and the washer and dryer are excellent and quite new. The location of this property is basically perfect if you want to explore Canterbury (a 12-minute drive) and then ALL of the Cinque Ports, the other beautiful seaside towns and villages, and gorgeous countryside of Eastern Kent. Enjoy!"
