I enjoy welcoming people to the area and can recommend the best beaches, eateries and places to walk or cycle.

Just six minutes from Canterbury city centre and ten minutes from Whitstable seafront, Daweswood Guest Suite is a flagship country retreat designed with you in mind. Does drifting to sleep whilst reading a book in the garden room hammock sound like perfection? How about Prosecco tasting in the hot tub, or cooking a family feast on the BBQ? Nestled in beautifully mature grounds that are steeped in medieval and World War II history, Daweswood perfectly marries traditional country cottage charm with the luxury of ultra modern living. The gardens are adorned with bluebells during the Spring, and are dotted with blossoming English fruit trees and even a magnificent tulip tree that provides dappled shade to the duck pond below. Mallards, moorhens, mandarin ducks, and even kingfishers call the tranquility of the pond their home, whilst rabbits, squirrels, woodpeckers and pheasants forage for food next to the hand-pumped well across a footbridge from the site of a medieval tile kiln.

Located in East Kent, known as the 'garden of England' and only six minutes from Canterbury city centre and ten minutes from the Whitstable coast by car, Tyler Hill is a beautiful but well-connected rural hamlet on the outskirts of Canterbury. Tyler Hill is so named after the medieval tile production in the area and in fact a circa 700 year old tile kiln sits within the grounds of Daweswood.
