Really enjoyed the peaceful setting, everything was well thought outand we'd happily return again!

Rachel

We stayed in a really comfy cabin that had everything we needed, from appliances to lovely outdoor seating perfect for soaking up the sun. The hot tub was great, especially with electric heating, which we preferred over wood-fired. The lemon drizzle cake from Lins was absolutely delicious! Chillenden's stunning natural surroundings, with plenty of walking trails nearby, made our trip special. The Griffins Head pub is just a short walk away and well worth a visit. Can't wait to come back!
