KLM offer twice daily flights from Manston Airport which is very easy to use since there are no crowds. Services operate to Amsterdam which is an international hub. We find this service very much better than using Heathrow or Gatwick airport.
Regular trains run to London and the railway station is a 10 minute walk away.
Buses leave from close to the cottage and serve the main local towns, the bus is often the best option for shopping trips to Canterbury.
