    We did mention we would have felt safer in the large shower area if there had been a handle on the wall to hold on to while showering.

    We could have exactly what we liked for breakfast and it was cooked to order. there was plenty of fruit on offer too. our quiet and characterful room with a large en suite shower room was just right for two of us. good to have a large wall mounted television.

    Helga is the perfect host for the most beautiful setting at the Rectory. The grounds, the house and the room were more than we expected. Helga cooked up a tasty breakfast for us in the stunning dining room overlooking the view to the countryside. A special touch was our long chat over breakfast about her journeys through europe over the years. We will come back in a heartbeat and were not surprised she gets booked up so fast. High recommend staying at the Rectory.

    A beautiful and quiet retreat

    We didn't have a car and (not the fault of the hotel) taxis were scarce on this bank holiday weekend, so getting to and from Deal was a bit complicated. It would have been lovely if there had been a bar to have a nightcap before bed - perhaps an honour-based system where we could help ourselves so the hosts didn't have to stay up. Or if the mini bar had a few beers and a bottle of wine. As it was, once back at the hotel late evening, the only thing left was to go to bed.

    The house, grounds and bedroom were superb, and breakfast was delicious. Helga was helpful, professional and friendly as well. All in all, it was a great stay.

    Nothing to dislike, if you wanted an evening drink then the locals were a bit of a trek, but we managed around that and enjoyed a small glass of wine in the garden area

    Helga was amazing. We were in the area for a wedding and she called and booked our cabs for both journeys, which on a day of train strikes was awesome. Great breakfast and lovely setting.
