  Driving through the gates and along the track, just reminded us of the original series of The Darling Buds of May, although it was shot just a few miles away. The garden is beautifully maintained with lots of flowers and the bird feeders attract a constant variety of birds, including a pair of woodpeckers that we saw most days. We were met by Amanda and Chris, who were just wonderful hosts throughout. This is undoubtedly the most comfortable of all the properties we have stayed in over the years in the UK. Coming back from our drives out to nearby attractions to an air conditioned building and being able to relax on a superbly comfortable sofa with a 64 inch 4K TV with all the channels you would need was just wonderful. Similarly, the bed upstairs is so comfortable and along with the air conditioning unit in the bedroom, made for a good night's sleep. Just a pity that the only bathroom is downstairs, which is very small and the sink a bit of a challenge. We cooked in and dined out at the local pubs over the week and both options were very enjoyable, with a well equipped kitchen, including an Air Fryer. The Black Horse in Pluckley (The Nags Head, in Darling Buds of May), is fascinating because of its age and alleged resident ghosts! We enjoyed the stay so much that we have booked again for September.

  Lovely warm greeting by Simon, Bridget and Tara, always friendly and on hand to provide any required information.

  Not intrusive happy to chat or give you as much privacy as you want. The property has everything you could need and a lovely garden view with an established garden and wonderful birds to watch. The bed was very comfortable and huge, with no noise disturbance which was led to fabulous rest. Homely touches included flowers and a fully equipped kitchen. They were very generous with the wood supply which kept us toasty and warm. We visited the local area including numerous national trust properties Dunster and Tyntesfield highly recommended . Cheddar Gorge where we the cliff top walk was very muddy but stunning views.Glastonbury (on the local bus - the bus stop is seconds walk away) and Weston-super-mare to name a few. There is a very well stocked local shop /post office which is open until 7 Mon- Sat closing at 4 on a Sunday. Recommended this beautiful haven in a lovely part of the country. Jen and Ian.

  We were really happy we chose this location as it was ideally situated in the heart of the Kent countryside and was the perfect base to explore the rest of the county. It was also easy to get to shops, takeaways and pubs for any food or provisions that we needed. The property itself was everything we could have hoped for. The cottage was comfortable and very well equipped, and the garden was a great place to relax and enjoy the good weather that we had. This all came at we thought was a very reasonable price, and compared very well with alternative properties that we considered. Finally we have to say a huge thank you to Chris and Amanda, the owners, who were exceptionally warm and welcoming, and extremely helpful. They made sure that our stay at the cottage was thoroughly enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend this property. Ged and Jackie Balk, Lancashire.

  If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable place in easy reach of the excellent nature reserves on the Somerset levels and surrounding areas, this could be what you are looking for!

  It is a very quiet cottage in a picturesque setting. It is comfortable and appears to have everything you would consider needing for a stay. The car parking area is large and secure, shared with the adjacent house where the owners live. Since the photos were taken there is a new wood burning stove that looks more than adequate to warm the cottage on the coldest day. There are lots of brochures and guides available for places both near and far, to help you plan activities whilst you stay in the area. If you don't wish to make use of the cooking facilities, there are plenty of nice pubs/restaurants within a short drive and one with character that would be well worth visiting a short walk away (less than half-mile). Thoroughly recommended! I'd be more than happy to stay here again

  I don’t know if you have someone who goes to these properties before you ...

  I don’t know if you have someone who goes to these properties before you advertise them, as there’s some information that should be available the property is not for people who have any walking disability as it’s very uneven the steps down into the garden needs a hand rail badly , plus the washing machine you have to get on your hands and knees to use it and it’s outside in a small shed we couldn’t use the tumble dryer as we were told it wasn’t very good but they did offer to do it for us in theirs but we didn’t want them to, but our biggest concern was the kitchen sink omg the bacteria that must be around the top of it you really need to get someone to take a look at it soon as possible, but overall it’s a ideal place for a relaxing weekend
