  One of the first things that caught our eye was the numerous house plants around, and this really makes this property stands out, as this really is a home away from home.

  We were unfortunate in one sense to experience very cold weather at the end of April 2024, but on the other hand, it meant that we spent a lot of time enjoying the cottage. We loved the view of the garden from the kitchen and the dining room (the bright red acer was gorgeous!). We all slept well (thanks for ear plugs!) - yes, the clock does strike on the hour every hour, but you do get used to it. The living areas are very well-appointed, and the window seat area with a dual aspect of the garden was a favourite. The kitchen was a joy to cook in. Oven gloves, tea towels, blue wipey clothes and 3 dishwashing tablets provided (plus we found clingfilm, foil and greaseproof paper). We used the fire everyday due to the unseasonable cold weather (logs £8.99 in the local shop – cheaper than the supermarket). Beds were super comfy, with great sheets and towels (which we always appreciate). House is super clean, and well-equipped – a real home away from home. We also used the Kent A-Z and their local OS maps, and they have a great range of books too. The location is super as lots of attractions within 30min. The Tesco “superstore” in Hawkhurst may be smaller than expected but had everything needed, plus Waitrose just opposite too. Tips for visitors: Local shop (2 min down the road) opens from 6.30am and has fresh croissants, and local produce (Sussex crisps). The telephone box library is pretty good too. Walk to the windmill, past the school opposite the petrol station. Farm shop Eggs and Apples & Hartleys (good jam donuts) recommended. Just mind the pot holes!

  A lovely cottage in a very peaceful village setting.

  The cottage is very well equipped for all your needs and is central to visit numerous interesting places in the immediate area. The cottage has a beautiful quiet garden for early evening drinks etc. We found the beds extremely comfortable which gave a great nights sleep after long days out travelling around site seeing. Supermarkets in the neighbouring village supplied when eating in although great pubs close by. We enjoyed our stay enough to extend our weeks trip by 3 additional days as we hadn't covered half of what we hoped to see. We would return with no hestition and hope to stop again in the near future and visit this part of the country.

  The cottage was basically good but there were a number of issues that needed attention - the shower over the bath was falling apart - a number of doors wouldn’t open and shut properly - the vacuum cleaner was unsafe to use - there was no wheelie bin to put our rubbish in when we left - the information folder needed updating as many places were no longer open - there were a variety of phone numbers which could be used to contact the owner, some seemed to be outdated as there was no reply to our emails when we tried to contact her However the outlook from the cottage over the fields and surrounding countryside was very good

  We booked this cottage so we were close to our daughter in south london as she was expecting a baby, and it fit the bill perfectly, only a 40 minute train journey to central London! Everything was perfect in the cottage, it was beautiful, very clean and had everything you need, hosts were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating, and were on-site so available at any time if we needed any assistance. The surrounding area was lovely with only a short drive to many local picturesque villages. We would definitely recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.

  Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche im Cherry Garden Cottage.

  Es ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. In der Küche findet sich alles, was man zum Kochen braucht. Es liegt ruhig (die Glocken haben uns gar nicht gestört) und ein kleiner Supermarkt ist in drei Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Den hübschen Garten konnten wir aufgrund der Jahreszeit leider nicht nutzen. Es gab ein kleines Problem mit den beiden Dachfenstern, die wir nicht richtig schließen konnten. Ein Problem war für uns auch, dass man Bettwäsche selbst mitbringen muss und wir keine passenden Laken und Bezüge hatten.
