  From the moment we left the lane to drive up to the Owl House we could feel the relaxation just wave over us both. There isn't anything that we'd change at all. The silence other than birds is beautiful and the views - oh my goodness. The settee is extremely comfortable alongside the huge bed. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of cutlery and pans (we've previously stayed in other accommodation and had four of everything - even with a dishwasher! But not here). The shower was so easy to use and a great pressure with lots of hot water. We stayed at the house for a few mornings and just appreciated the atmosphere (We even read a book each! Not something we don't often.) The wildlife is just like sitting on a set of Spring Watch - we saw so many varieties of birds including the beautiful owls. After a day out it's a perfect spot to unwind and we'd love to return at some point. Neil & Wendy the owners are so helpful and friendly. We stayed for 14 nights and we really didn't want to leave at all.

  Perfect midweek break, located centrally for several fabulous historic gardens we wanted to visit. This is a stunning, simple but modern cottage with two bedrooms that each have an en-suite toilet cleverly connecting to a shared shower; fully equipped kitchen diner and lovely spacious sitting room. There's a small patio with gorgeous views across the garden, and parking outside. The owner thoughtfully provided some basic provisions: bread, butter, eggs, milk etc. and made contact the day we arrived. The owner has written a very useful house guide and made some good recommendations for local shops, vineyards, restaurants and attractions to visit. This cottage is perfectly located for visiting properties such as Chartwell House, Sissinghurst Castle, Great Dixter, Bateman's, Pashley Manor, Hever Castle and Sarah Raven's Cutting Garden. The maximum distance was about 40 minutes drive time to the furthest we visited... are there are so many more to see!

  This cottage does live up to its listing and was very comfortable.

  However, I only read reviews once we had arrived and it seems that things don't change. Several concerns listed over the last year have not been remedied. The en-suite shower has two settings - very hot and scalding hot which had been reported months before (we have a similar shower at home and the controls are very simple), the tile edging in the en-suite is still hanging off (reported in a previous review). I would also like to add that to use the second double bedroom in the summer you need to be able to sleep in full daylight as the skylight has no covering. There is no shower screen/curtain in the bathroom. We also love fresh coffee and was surprised to find that there was no provision to make fresh coffee, not even a cafetiere! We purchased one and were happy to leave in the cottage for future clients.

  The 'cottage' was lovely with lots of thought put into making it homely and equiped.

  (throws, bins, mirrors, hairdryer, airfryer and more) The decorations around the home were pretty and it was a very roomy place to stay with plent of space to hang your clothes. My husband thought the initial view as you looked at the home could be a bit updated and attractive. I had read previous reviews and there were plenty of tea spoons! the ensuite could only work with a curtain and was in the corner out of sight. There could be more chairs but we moved them around. The Kiosk shop at the end of the road is an amazing aladins cave and very friendly. We loved the nearby telephone box library. We would have liked a local map and more leaflets about local pubs, restaurants etc. Some homes have a visitors book where people write recommendations from their experience. Overall a great place to stay. Thank you.

  We had such a relaxing and pleasant stay at Little Bourne. The cottage is in a lovely location, convenient for all the beautiful historic places to see, with the added bonus of being 5 minutes from Tonbridge Village and 10 minutes from Tonbridge Wells where you are spoilt for shops. The cottage was clean with every facility you could want and more. There is a car parking space allocated for you with simple entry to the cottage, 2 lovely bedrooms with en-suite to both. The kitchen was well equipped, also with a small dinning area. There was a spacious living room leading to a private patio area - superb! Karen, the host could not do enough! she was easy to contact and easy to talk to, friendly and helpful. We will be back for sure!
