A perfectly charming privately-run bed and breakfast in a quiet and tranquil location. Superb breakfast, tea and coffee in the room and plenty of amenities to keep you occupied including a superb guests' sitting room with an impressive music collection for your perusal. Having read the other reviews i'm a little surprised as we didn't experience any problems with the... More

We are surprised by this review; the showers work well but can be affected momentarily by water pressure changes elsewhere in the house. The "clutter" is because guests are staying in a home not an annoymous hotel chain. A room without pictures would seem odd. Finally I am surprised that there were half used toiletries we do clear them but... More

We had a really nice time here, the house is lovely, all beams and farmhouse charm, the area quiet and peaceful yet within 7 miles of Canterbury, and the hosts very nice too. The rooms are quaint and clean, beds comfy, good-sized bathroom. Breakfast was a treat, home-made produce galore. We felt welcomed, including the dog, even though she whined... More

We had a most enjoyable couple of days at Bower Farm. The standard of accommodation is high, the surroundings quiet and the hosts friendly and helpful.The breakfasts are excellent. The farm is convenient for visiting other parts of Kent. We particularly enjoyed the new Turner Gallery in Margate.

Warm welcome, our twin room en-suite was clean and comfortable although the hot water took ages to arrive at the shower. Excellent breakfast with some local produce at flexible hours. Guest sitting room with TV, gardens to sit out in. Well situated in quiet spot on the Minnis, convenient for many local tourist spots and the ferries and Eurotunnel. Good... More

Good location for pubs and travelling. Very comfortable bed. Not so positive: Double-ensuite room looked tired (In particular the carpets and curtains). Whiff of dog odour in room (Premises takes in... More

This is a justifiable review from an unfortunate guest who followed a very inconsiderate dog owner. We had done our best to clean the room in a very short time, the other guest left very late! These things happen and we had no other room to offer. The guest made no comment to us, if they had we could have... More

We had a comfortable, clean room with a neat little en-suite. This well-appointed old farmhouse provided an ideal location for walks in the countryside and an exploration of this area of Kent. Particularly recommended, and very friendly hosts.
