We were booked into Downsview for an extended stay of a month and it truly became our home away from home. The room had a lovely view onto the countryside, it was clean, quiet. Christine went above and beyond as a hostess --- suggesting local places to visit, arranging taxi service. And when I fell ill and needed to go... More

Beautifully situated overlooking the Stour Valley and superbly equipped but even these are secondary to the very warm welcome from Christine and Sean who make every effort to ensure you arrive as guests and leave as friends. Delicious breakfasts and a recently installed bar make this an ideal centre for holidaying in the S.E.

They were attending my daughers wedding in Kenningtion. Sean advised... More

We had such a great stay in 2011 we choose to stay here again in 2012. It did not fail to live up to our expectations. Pristinely clean - excellent service - see you again in 2013.

We stayed here with three other couples as it was hard to find anywhere that could accommodate us all, what a stroke of luck that was! Downsview staff could not have been more helpful and the licenced bar was an added bonus. The room contains everything you need and had lovely views over the countryside. Hope to stay here again

I stayed one night, for the convenient location for work. I arrived a bit late, but Christine could not have been nicer, and I got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble. When I went down to the bar for a glass of wine at 10pm, Christine was there again, with a friendly smile. I was touched that she... More

We had a full English breakfast that you could adjust to your liking and we enjoyed it very much. In the room... More

Me and my 3 girls stayed 3 nights in this guesthouse in the countryside. Very friendly people. Nice and fresh breakfast. Location is perfect to see Kent : Ashford, Canterburry, Dover, Leeds Castle, ... Restaurant in the neighbourhood is perfect. I will recomend it to family and friends.
