The Hamlet of Martin was lovely and quiet and pretty. The garden was really nice even though it was getting towards the end of the season. The pub was 2 minutes' walk away and getting to various coastal towns such as Deal, Sandwich and St Margaret's Bay easy.

Thankfully the garden is secured away from the road (excellent for a dog), as is the parking, because the huge tractors that rumbled past on and off during the day will open your eyes. There is a limited amount of dog walking area locally but the spinney and unofficial "paths" make for enough dog exercise. As there are no shops in the immediate vicinity, be prepared to take some food items with you (15 mins to large shops). The property owner Abbi was lovely and very helpful and the supplies left by her made my stay enjoyable. The village is quite small and pretty much the only facility there is The Lantern Pub.... definitely worth the visit, a little pricey but the food and drink is excellent. Be prepared, take wellies if you want to walk as it is a very rural area and the roads are quite narrow and the tracks are quite muddy...all in all, no complaints.
