We spent the most wonderful Christmas at Orions Cottage. The cottage helped to create the fantastic atmosphere we had been looking for, from the cosy living room with the great log fire, to the modern spacious kitchen where we were able to host family and friends. We look forward to returning next year.

I did not stay at the cottage. I booked it for German friends who were not sure of their English and did not know East Kent.
They are utterly enchanted, and called to tell us what a wonderful week they had spent.
They are a 3-generation family of 4 with serious health problems and they loved the peace and quiet and lack of electro smog in Bishopsbourne.
The owner was also very helpful in every way. Our friends have fallen in love with east Kent and intend to return.

A shower curtain would be useful. From the directions it was not clear that the cottage is not right on the square.
