Guests say
Moorhen Cottage is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its peaceful setting, comfortable furnishings, and lovely grounds with an outdoor pool. Guests appreciate the property's proximity to local attractions and the thoughtful touches like a welcome basket. While most found it clean and well-equipped, some noted areas needing improvement in maintenance and quality of amenities.
Most guests found Moorhen Cottage clean, with comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. However, one review mentioned issues with cleanliness, including unclean outdoor furniture and dusty radiators, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly regarded for its quietness, picturesque surroundings, and proximity to attractions like Leeds Castle and Mote Park. The secure setting with automatic gates is also appreciated.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with comfy beds and a peaceful atmosphere. However, there were comments about an old, creaky bed in the master bedroom, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and heated pool, are a highlight for many. Nonetheless, some guests reported maintenance issues like slippery surfaces, noisy radiators, and unclean barbecues, indicating a need for better upkeep.
While guests mentioned thoughtful touches like a welcome basket and cleaning kit, there is not enough information to assess consistency across all stays. As such, while these gifts are appreciated, they may not be guaranteed for every guest.

We had a really comfortable stay here. Very easy check in. The property is well equipped with everything you could need, it has some old fashioned furnishings to create a nice cottage feel but also all the modern touches required nowadays. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had plenty for a family of 6. The grounds that the cottage is in are lovely, it's very quiet and the outdoor pool was such a bonus.
