We have lived in New York and rented houses across America and Europe for vacations so we know what we would like to find in a property and have reflected this in our holiday rentals. We are now country living in Bridge, near Canterbury, Kent, with 3 children and working in London.
Primrose Cottage is in Bridge, Kent and exclusively a holiday rental and we live in the house next door. It is in a vibrant village with 3 pubs, one of which is Michelin starred for food and a Pig Restaurant. The city of Canterbury is 5 minutes away. There are good transport links and plenty of historic sites and beaches nearby.
As this is not are our main homes we can be flexible on dates. We will however need to travel in UK school holidays.
