  What a hidden gem! Firstly, the owner, Jan, is wonderful - nothing was too much trouble for her. The Hideout was amazing - clean, compact and with absolutely EVERTHING provided that you would need. We were very tired having arrived after a very long overnight flight so to see complimentary tea, coffee, milk and doggie provisions (towels, waste bags etc) meant we did not have to buy anything immediately or plough through our suitcases for dog "bits". Great, quiet location - lovely walks with or without dogs. The secure and pretty outside space was lovely so the dogs could wander around freely and we could enjoy reading and just chatting the time away. The inside of the Hideout was perfect for us - it was warm and cozy, great wifi (if you need it), TV, super comfy bed and fantastic bathroom. We slept exceptionally well with good quality curtains to keep out the light, an extra heater for the bathroom and great wall mounted heater in the living area which worked very quickly (it was 9 degrees outside!!!). As we decided not to cater for ourselves, popping in next door to the village cafe and store and ordering our meals was seamless. As we had a long car journey ahead of us we placed an order for sandwiches the night before "to go". The quality and price of the food was perfect. HAD we decided to cook for ourselves, once again, absolutely EVERYTHING was provided. If we ever come back to this part of the UK I would not hesitate to visit this property again - how can you improve on perfection?!?!?!

  Positives: Clean and nicely decorated, extra sofa bed if two single occupants arrive, well-stocked with equipment and mod cons.

  Negatives: The picture of the garden, that is used as the primary selling point, is misleading. The last autumn's leaf fall had not been raked up, the furniture was old, tatty and falling apart. The garden has had about three years of usage since established (according to the guest book entries), and it looked like no-one was bothering to maintain it. It was a big disappointment, as we had expected to see something more well-maintained like the picture. No guestbook, and occupant information like an updated wi-fi password or local area information was clearly displayed/provided. We used a clearly displayed sign for the Wi-fi password which was out of date, battled with it for half an hour, and eventually had to go and knock on the door of the main house to ask for the information. Eventually, we found informational items tucked in behind the TV, a day later. We felt that it was a bit of an oversight to not make the location of these much clearer or to update their sign. We felt that the owners of the accommodation could have attended better to the small things, and the garden was a big disappointment.

  The cottage is delightful and the village pretty, with a lovely pub and very handy well stocked shop nearby. The owners were generous with the essentials and lots of lovely thoughtful touches, which is not the standard for holiday cottage lets and therefore very much appreciated. The road running through the village was busier than I expected, though the additional glazing of the windows does eliminate a lot of this noise. It is of course far more noticeable with the doors or windows open, but I suspect this wouldn't bother everyone. Our stay unfortunately coincided with some emergency roadworks which greatly exacerbated the problem. This aside I would very much recommend this cottage for its comfort and the decor. As you would expect with a cottage of this age the original features are very quirky and extra care is required on the stairs. Thank you to the owners for the use of their beautiful cottage for the week.

  Well we used this as our base for getting around the Sussex Coastline.

  We had a fab time and this place gave us a great launch pad to visit places in Sussex. I think we walked the England Coastline whilst there, well that's what my feet are telling me! Public transport is great there too, train station less than 10 mins walk and bus stops 5 mins walk. Right this place is not a palace but it is clean, tidy and very welcoming which is just what you want. It has everything you need for a week or two's stay. There was some nice touches too, we took are doggie there with us and to our surprise there was some dog treats there for little Albie. He loved them! Tea, coffee and milk awaiting your arrival so that was great to have a cup of tea/coffee when we got there. The bedroom and living/dinning room are large with more space than you actually need. For two people and a doggie this place was perfect for us. Would I come back this this place - YES!

  This is a most charming and historic cottage. It is very beautiful if you like character features, and the amazing slope of the floorboards upstairs is incredible! Probably not for tall people as some of the beams are low but for us it was perfect. Everything you could possibly need is provided in the cottage and the location is very convenient for many local attractions nearby. It is in a village that has a lot of through traffic, and is on a corner of a junction, so can be quite noisy at rush hour, but it did not detract from our enjoyment of the cottage. Hosts were lovely and could not do enough for us. Would absolutely recommend as a place to stay in Kent.
