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.

Beautiful cottage with all the amenities of home. The villagers of Bridge are very friendly. Wonderful walking trails with great views. James, the owner of the property, was very responsive and made it very easy for us to feel at home.

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

Christmas in a village
Wonderful, well equipped cottage in a small village with very comfortable beds and pillows. Had everything we required for a week long stay. James was on hand to answer our questions and even supplied us with our own Christmas tree. Three Michelin starred restaurant are within 5 minutes drive. A must stay.
