We really loved our stay at the Old Hop Kiln. Alison and Simon were the most welcoming and kind hosts. They couldn't have done more to make our stay pleasant; and even returned something we had left behind without charge. The cottage was lovely, comfortable and in a beautiful setting. Would definitely stay here again.
