Such a wonderfully enjoyable experience and you make something unique at the end of it. I did a one day class with Mattt she was so enthusiastic and ever so easy to like and get along with, truly nothing was too much trouble. During this Covid pandemic I was a little concerned about being safe because I am clinically vulnerable, but I needn't have worried because Mattt had her hygiene protocols and routine well in place and the class size was small enough to allow for good social distancing, she kept a vigilant eye on everything which allowed me to stop worrying and just enjoy the day and the wonderful new experience. We had morning tea/coffee break and for lunch Mattt even made this super tasty bread to go along with the home made soup, the lady is tireless and has so much knowledge which she is so very generous and willing to share. She made the day enjoyable because I knew within half an hour that she was just so pleasant and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend this experience to people because no prior skill set is necessary and there are so many class options available, you are spoilt for choice. I went on my own and felt very comfortable, but the choice is yours. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day out , I will return, all the very best wishes.

Chilham Village

Reviewed By hayleyt0807 - Chilham, United Kingdom

Such a gorgeous square with free parking, two pubs, a tea room, a church, a post office AND a castle with gorgeous grounds which are open (usually) from June to September. A lovely character-filled hideaway from the city life, but close enough to Canterbury for comfort. Lots of lovely walking trails around too.

The Parish Church of St Mary's Chilham

Reviewed By hayleyt0807 - Chilham, United Kingdom

This church is so special! Stunning! A great feature of the beautiful village of Chilham. The bell ringing is a wonderful thing to hear ring out over the Kentish countryside. Definitely worth a visit.

The White Horse

Reviewed By hayleyt0807 - Chilham, United Kingdom

We love The White Horse! Always a lovely atmosphere with friendly service and great drinks! Most recently we visited the pub garden after the first lockdown and it was perfect! So fun to be back out and also enjoying our first time in the garden. All of our previous visits, we have been cosy indoors! Cannot wait until April to visit again! Our son loves the dog too!

Badgers Hill Farm & Cidery

Reviewed By U325OBarbaraw - Bilting, United Kingdom

Great new owners, just reopened last weekend Feb and loads of new wonderful stock this spring. Owners very helpful and genuine and really lovely people and they deserve to do well. It was a real pleasure to go there and purchase some excellent plants and pots. They are professional and clearly know what they are doing. Coffee take away counter during lockdown and great home made scones and cakes all good- a big plus.

The Woolpack Inn

Reviewed By JamieMcgrath - Chartham, United Kingdom

Great pub in the heart of Chilham. Brilliant food, accommodation and a great selection of ales and beers. All the food is great but the fish and chips is well worth a go. Great staff and atmosphere.
