Mr & Mrs Reynolds
We loved our stay at Westerhill Farm. We are so glad we chose The Old Pumphouse instead of staying in crowded, noisy, trafficy Maidstone and Aylesford. It was so peaceful. Located out in the country, we loved listening to the birds and enjoying the views across the Kent countryside. The cottage was fully equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. It was a great location to visit all the wonder sites in Kent. If we are in the area again, we will definitely stay there again.
