  We stayed at Little Batts from 7th to 11th November this year.

  In your comprehensive welcome pack you request feedback both positive and negative Positive:       Beautiful and historic property in a lovely area of England       Welcome pack was very helpful       Bathroom is beautiful and kitchen well appointed (particularly loved the oven)       Great to have washing up liquid, hand wash, dishwasher tablets all provided       Lovely bedding on the bed       Awesome heating through out Negative:       Cleanliness Carpet in lounge area is visibly very dirty especially the large liquid stain in eyesight when on the couch. Maybe cream carpets is not a great choice. Couch cushion covers are ill fitting Embedded dead spider on the floor at the foot of the bed Large spiders web above window in lounge All these make the property feel generally grubby       Safety The step in the hallway is very dangerous especially with the same carpet on both levels. I fell quite badly within an hour of our arrival and twisted my ankle meaning I had to spend our first day with my leg elevated. (Not a great start to our holiday) Connecting door to The Barn is not lockable, but the door on their side is. One of the dining chair seats is only attached by 2 screws Back door was unlocked when we arrived. We have locked it.       Parking We parked outside the property in the lay-by as close as we could to the wall to ensure other vehicles could pass. When we went out one day the resident opposite had parked in such a way that we could not drive out and when we knocked on the door and asked her to move her car 1-2 metres forward she told us to "just reverse out'. While this was quite possible it was not a great interaction and left a bad taste.       General TV remote batteries were dead No welcome pack - tea, coffee, milk, sugar, couple of biscuits etc - After 36 hours travelling from Australia we couldn't even have a cup of tea when we got here. The bathroom is spa like and the large bath makes it feel like a romantic couples escape, but the bed is low,    average comfort and 2 single beds pushed together, which is not romantic The light around the mirror in the bathroom is quite fancy, but after 4 days we still hadn't worked out how to consistently control the light level or turn it on/off with confidence so we left it on all the time Overall while the property has great potential and some highlights we would rate it 1 out of 5 stars.

  We had a wonderful week at Pound Hill Cottage. The photographs barely do it justice. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very well-equipped with everything you could need for self-catering. There was a bottle of apple juice (with home grown apples) and biscuits to welcome us; with milk in the fridge and fresh flowers on the dining room table. The bed was really comfortable, and we loved the bathroom with walk-in shower. There was an abundance of storage space. It was lovely to sit out on the patios watching the variety of small birds on the feeder, and we saw rabbits on the lawn in the early mornings. In general, it was a truly peaceful and relaxing holiday setting. The location is excellent, within easy reach of great places to visit and you can do several walks from the doorstep. The village of Headcorn is 3 ½ miles away and has a well-stocked Sainsbury’s local, butcher’s, bakery, deli, coffee shops, pubs and an Indian restaurant which also does take-aways. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this cottage and hope we may return at some point.

  Arrived friday afternoon, no heating,told lady who said she would look at it,kept returning every few hours(at our request) to try again,still no heating and it was very cold.

  Sent text to owner who did not reply but lady came next day with portable heater,she didnt know when boiler man would come as it was a weekend! Said we were not happy and not good enough, having to push a heater from room to room was not our idea of relaxing break. Eventually had enough and again texted owner(sunday night) saying very unhappy and cold,, he apologised by text and said he would come over this was 9 oclock in evening, it eventually came on at about 9.30 pm, he didnt come in to say sorry to us which we thought was very remiss of him. Nice and warm after that, no instructions for appliances which we told him by text he said in back of book which of course they were not, think we were capable of looking there! Lady tried her best and was very friendly, had good time after that. If parking car you will have to reverse to get out, no problems for us but maybe for others. Despite problems if we were in the area again we would stay here as eventuallt enjoyed ourselves.

  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!

  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!
