What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a fantastic and interesting property with plenty of room for the six people who stayed there for a week. It is a 0.75 mile walk to the pub and good village shop, otherwise you will need a car to explore. We were disappointed not to find a welcome pack of any sort at the house. In other properties we have stayed in there has been milk in the fridge, tea and coffee available, and maybe cake and biscuits or some other local produce, and on one occasion, sparkling wine, custom coffee mugs and fridge magnets! Here, there was nothing except 4 old looking coffee sachets in a scruffy jar, and 3 dishwasher tablets. There was barely enough washing up liquid to last the week, and none of the waste and recycling bins had been emptied the previous week. There was no paper and card recycling bin available. The collection day changed while we were there, so this needs to be updated in the home manual. This is not a cheap property to rent, and if we had had a long drive to get there, would have been very disappointed to have to go back out just to get something as basic as milk. The above criticism is not to put the property down, it is a stunning place and has been well thought out for holiday letting, and is highly recommended by us, but we feel that it has some customer satisfaction issues to resolve.

  The owners were very helpful and available when we called or texted them.

  The cottage was clean. The location of the cottage is within a shared area with neighbouring cottages and hot tub and a swimming pool. The cottage was very nice for a short stay however few improvements needed. - Provide guides/instructions for the property (we didn’t notice there was a freezer at the back of the kitchen counters until the end of our trip) - The heating was not working. It was very cold the first night as we only had one electric heater. After asking the owners we noticed there was a spare fan heater. - The cottage could do with a coffee table by the sofas for when you want to watch TV and eat. - Pathways to the cottage could do with some lights as it gets very dark in the evening and it is a long walk from the entrance of the property. Having to use mobile flash light can be difficult when you have bags to carry. - We were expecting there to be basics like salt/pepper/sugar/milk but none was provided given the price we paid for the stay. However basic kitchenware provided.

  This lovely cottage was well located within the farm.

  In fact next to a stable block which was wonderful. The owners were welcoming to both us and our dog. The property is a very carefully refurbished barn conversion spotless and with all amenities. Far reaching views to the North Downs/ Pilgrims Way were glorious. The surrounding countryside was Kent at its best full of exquisite villages, historic churches, magnificent buildings and estates and really good pubs. Canterbury and the North Kent coast (Whitstable) were easily accessible. Located in prime walking country, most notably the North Downs Way, there are an abundance of interesting, well signed rights of way at every turn. All in all a very enjoyable break in an underated and beautiful part of England.

  Cottage was excellent, warm, cosy, relaxing.

  Everything we needed was there, great welcome pack even included our dog. Sounds petty but having things like coffee, washing up stuff, hand wash, milk, salt & pepper provided a bonus how often you forget them or have to go & buy. Good selection of books dvds etc. Owners very friendly & helpful wish we could have seem them more (perhaps if had stayed longer). Polly loved Jake & Loki fellow Jack Russels. Having no WIFI made it more relaxing still had phones for emergencies. Really did not want to leave & wished we could have stayed longer. Well definitely come back. Would love to stay in the summer so could access the walks (obviously everywhere still waterlogged due to all the excessive rain recently)

  Unbelievable location. Magical, atmospheric, grand and yet welcoming. If you like any music then listening to it whilst relaxing in the nave of a chapel is wonderful. The layout of the holiday home gave us fantastic family dinners in an unforgettable unique space but having the snugs gave us cosy family film viewing too. Everything worked...the two ovens even made cooking a pleasure and the ensuite bathroom was pure luxury. So much to do in the area (walks, pinetum, vineyard, Go Ape, Sissinghurst, Leeds Castle and the best cat cafe in Tonbridge to name a few) and yet we felt remote enough to relax completely. Could not fault the place. Would recommend without hesitation.
