A great stay in the pretty village of Mersham. The local pub does the best food.

We found The Annexe to be a very clean, comfortable and homely property with all that we needed for our stay. Some breakfast items and tea/coffee, more than enough for our stay, were unexpectedly supplied and very much appreciated. The small secluded garden with chairs and table would have been used, but unfortunately the weather did not allow.

Perfect spot.

The annexe has absolutely everything you need and set in a lovely village which is ideal for exploring the area. Easy to find, private parking and great to have provisions there when you arrive. Having you own little garden area, a real bonus too in the warmer weather. Great accommodation!

Fabulous Accommodation

The Annexe is just absolutely everything you want in a rental accommodation. It is perfect, it has everything you think you want and then a little more like the Orange Juice, Milk, Bread, Butter & Jam in the fridge. It is spotlessly clean, bright and airy. A great comfortable bed & a comfy sofa! A great outdoor space which is a suntrap to enjoy a glass of wine. Marion & Chris are great hosts & really friendly & thoughtful. Mersham is a village just outside Ashford, it is a fantastic location as everything Kent has to offer is accessible. The village has a post office/shop and an awesome Pub - The Farriers Arms, ever more remarkably the pub was bought by members of the community and it is a credit to their hard work & investment. Great outdoor garden space & views and fabulous food! Love this place, would love to keep visiting.

A stress free break

Marion’s communications were clear and timely. We found the property easily and the parking was very safe. It was a really nice touch to find fresh milk, bread and orange juice in the fridge. There was also a get you going supply of essentials. The property was very clean and had a lovely air freshener smell. The location was perfect for us as we visited Hythe, Whitstable, Folkestone and Bodiam castle. Our stay was very relaxing. Although we only met Marion and Chris as we were leaving they were available during our stay if needed. We would be very happy to stay here again.

Homely break in peaceful pretty village.

Comfortable and beautifully clean. A little difficult to find in the dark till we remembered next door’s sign which showed up easily in our headlights. Tiny garden was fine as we were out all day visiting relatives. Good to come and go without disturbing anyone but parking was a bit tight.. A lot of thought had gone into providing us with all we might need. We would stay again,

Review from Sharon and Jay

We chose this property due to the previous reviews. In these times of Covid it was important for us to stay in a property that was clean! We were not disappointed! Whilst the Annexe is smaller than a number of places we have been to via Home Away, it was comfortable and had nearly everything that you would want. I say nearly, and this is just a personal choice, a bigger frying pan would of been appreciated and a blind in the bathroom. However we improvised on both! My husband and I have never used a convection microwave oven before - and my husband who did all of the cooking - cooked a great roast dinner in it - even to the point where we have ordered one for our home! The location was quiet (lovely!) with a general store/post office and a pub. The pub would of benefited from a refresh, but their track and trace systems were excellent, and they were very friendly. As this was a relaxing holiday, we only ventured into Ashford once. We went to the main shopping centre which had an abundance of shops and restaurants. Our hosts, Marion and Chris were contactable during our stay and helped with any queries. Our only negative point (and I believe this is down to Home Away regulations during Covid) was the checking in/out times, as they differed from the "house rules" and the reservation confirmation from Home Away. Thank you Marion and Chris, for a clean, peaceful and relaxing break. What more could you ask for?

Ticked all the right boxes

Due to Covid our weeks stay in Scotland was cancelled, so we opted for somewhere completely different and at very short notice. What a gem we found! Perfect in every respect. Location was ideal for exploring. The venue was modern and exceptionally clean. Marion and Chris even went that bit extra further in supplying us with essentials like milk/bread etc. It's little touches like this that made our break that more special. We wouldn't hesitate to return, and that's unusual for us as we normally wouldn't do so. But there is still more exploring of the Kent countryside to take in. Thanks again to our hosts. Gordon and Pam.

Just spent a long weekend in this lovely little annexe. Marion & Chris have got it spot on. We couldn't fault it. The welcome pack was very generous. Mersham is handily placed close to Ashford. We can recommend the Farriers Arms in the village for superb food and friendly service.

Short break in Kent

We are a retired couple. Have been to Kent many times over the years. The Annexe met all our expectations and more. Hosts welcoming, helpful and pleasant without being intrusive. The annexe was spotlessly clean and fresh throughout. To us the most important thing. Well furnished throughout and in very good decorative order. Comfy furniture throughout all good quality. Nice co ordinated soft furnishings. Welcome pack including milk, butter. Jam, marmalade, orange juice and a loaf of nice bread, tea coffee and sugar. Fridge freezer, microwave and modern induction hob. Bathroom toiletries eg shower gel shampoo conditioner and hand wash. Many unexpected extras. Would return without hesitation.

Small, comfortable, compact and with parking!

A well furnished and comfortable apartment, everything needed was provided. Thank you for the pantry extras. It was November so the weather was not good and we were not able to take advantage of the small private garden at the back. The parking in this small village is at a premium, so it was great to know that our parking was secured. We would certainly recommend the apartment.

Fantastic little place

We stayed for 4 nights with our 4 month old. We found the annex to be spotlessly clean and had everything we needed and more - Jam, Marmalade, bread, milk and cereals as well as tea and coffe was a lovely surprise. Great location for us to attend a wedding locally and also as a base to explore Kent. Close enough to Ashford for an easy commute to London too. Lovely hosts, friendly , welcoming and next door if you need anything. We would happily stay again when visiting friends and can’t recommend highly enough. Many thanks

About the host

Hosted by Marion or Chris

We are retired, keen travellers, non smokers. We have enjoyed the hospitality of Homeaway hosts in USA, and want to offer our apartment to visitors either en route to the continent to take advantages of great connections, or those who want to sample Kentish village life, and some of the great attractions locally available.

Why they chose this property

This apartment is totally self contained, with its own garden. Great for leisure or business travellers. Good pub food within easy walking distance, plus only 5 minutes' drive to cinema complex, restaurants, designer outlet etc.

What makes this property unique

We live 'next door' so can offer advice on local places of interest. We can also offer lifts to the international station, channel ports, Eurotunnel, etc.
