Keepers Cottage

If you are looking for peace, tranquility, beautiful surroundings, a charming, well equipped cottage and total escapism then Keepers Cottage is everything you are looking for. Set down a quiet, off the beaten track lane, Keepers Cottage is a delight. The cottage has everything you need and beautifully furnished. Outside is a wonderful garden with ever changing wildlife. We would highly recommend Keepers Cottage to anyone. The only downside is that we have to leave! Thank you, we look forward to our next visit. ...

Fantastic cottage with an incredibly well-equipped kitchen. Very homely feel and quite different with the cottage having the ‘new wing’ . Beautiful garden tucked away along an unmade lane with potholes. This didn’t worry us at all but probably unsuitable for low-slung cars and definitely not for sports cars! We would go back, particularly as it was only 20 minutes from the ferry....

A comfortable house, beautifully appointed, in a great location with hardly any light or sound pollution. Laying in bed at night seeing the night sky through the huge windows of the master suite was a glorious and unexpected treat. The garden is a real haven. The only thing you hear is the wildlife and the occasional passing of the steam train. Having two 'wings' was great for giving the different generations a bit of privacy, but we all (from 5 - 73 years old) loved our stay and were very comfortable. Thank you! ...

We had a fantastic time at Keepers cottage. The location was perfect. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and the visiting wildlife. We too enjoyed the remote location with no neighbours. The cottage is well equipped (with two ovens !!!) and has a lovely feeling about it! Very relaxing! One of the first things you notice on arrival to the cottage is the silence all around you, you forget that it is such a beautiful thing, as living in London it’s so noisy and fast paced. No matter what excursions we did every day we couldn’t wait to get back to the warmth and security of the cottage, it has this feeling of wanting to be there all the time. The sun was always shinning in the garden too! The starry nights were amazing! We found the bridle way okay but we did have an MPV and yes there were lots of potholes. The children loved the garden too and looking out for the two horses and the Llamas as you drive down the bridle way. Also in the downstairs utility room/loo there is an air vent and you can hear tiny squeaks, I went outside and next to the front door I saw a Marsh tit/Willow tit ??? (it could have been a different type of tit ! ) flying in to the vent to feed the hatchlings! Wonderful! We had read the previous reviews about the stairs, my mother was a bit worried but on the whole it was fine and we were careful. The only thing as a family we would like to mention is the bedding and cushions are all feather down and hold lots of dust. We have three asthmatics in our family and this was very difficult for them. We have suggested to Classic Cottages that it might be a good idea to have at least one Anti-Allergy bedroom. Just incase other families who may also have young children or adults with breathing problems/Asthma. If these changes were put in place we would definitely like to return. ...
