What our customers say about their holidays

  Positives: Clean and nicely decorated, extra sofa bed if two single occupants arrive, well-stocked with equipment and mod cons.

  Negatives: The picture of the garden, that is used as the primary selling point, is misleading. The last autumn's leaf fall had not been raked up, the furniture was old, tatty and falling apart. The garden has had about three years of usage since established (according to the guest book entries), and it looked like no-one was bothering to maintain it. It was a big disappointment, as we had expected to see something more well-maintained like the picture. No guestbook, and occupant information like an updated wi-fi password or local area information was clearly displayed/provided. We used a clearly displayed sign for the Wi-fi password which was out of date, battled with it for half an hour, and eventually had to go and knock on the door of the main house to ask for the information. Eventually, we found informational items tucked in behind the TV, a day later. We felt that it was a bit of an oversight to not make the location of these much clearer or to update their sign. We felt that the owners of the accommodation could have attended better to the small things, and the garden was a big disappointment.

  The owners were very helpful and available when we called or texted them.

  The cottage was clean. The location of the cottage is within a shared area with neighbouring cottages and hot tub and a swimming pool. The cottage was very nice for a short stay however few improvements needed. - Provide guides/instructions for the property (we didn’t notice there was a freezer at the back of the kitchen counters until the end of our trip) - The heating was not working. It was very cold the first night as we only had one electric heater. After asking the owners we noticed there was a spare fan heater. - The cottage could do with a coffee table by the sofas for when you want to watch TV and eat. - Pathways to the cottage could do with some lights as it gets very dark in the evening and it is a long walk from the entrance of the property. Having to use mobile flash light can be difficult when you have bags to carry. - We were expecting there to be basics like salt/pepper/sugar/milk but none was provided given the price we paid for the stay. However basic kitchenware provided.

  This lovely cottage was well located within the farm.

  In fact next to a stable block which was wonderful. The owners were welcoming to both us and our dog. The property is a very carefully refurbished barn conversion spotless and with all amenities. Far reaching views to the North Downs/ Pilgrims Way were glorious. The surrounding countryside was Kent at its best full of exquisite villages, historic churches, magnificent buildings and estates and really good pubs. Canterbury and the North Kent coast (Whitstable) were easily accessible. Located in prime walking country, most notably the North Downs Way, there are an abundance of interesting, well signed rights of way at every turn. All in all a very enjoyable break in an underated and beautiful part of England.

  Cottage was excellent, warm, cosy, relaxing.

  Everything we needed was there, great welcome pack even included our dog. Sounds petty but having things like coffee, washing up stuff, hand wash, milk, salt & pepper provided a bonus how often you forget them or have to go & buy. Good selection of books dvds etc. Owners very friendly & helpful wish we could have seem them more (perhaps if had stayed longer). Polly loved Jake & Loki fellow Jack Russels. Having no WIFI made it more relaxing still had phones for emergencies. Really did not want to leave & wished we could have stayed longer. Well definitely come back. Would love to stay in the summer so could access the walks (obviously everywhere still waterlogged due to all the excessive rain recently)

  We had a lovely week staying at Willow Cottage.

  The grounds are very relaxing and we made good use of the hot tub and swimming pool (though that was a tad cold despite it being June when we stayed). We have a couple of things that we feel would enhance the stay at the cottage even more: Instructions for Appliances, Points of Interest leaflets (or visitor guide), Small coffee table, Pizza cutter, Can opener, Steamer pan, Sun loungers for around the pool. All in all, Willow Cottage is a lovely place to take a relaxing break and there are surrounding attractions to visit - Hall Place & Gardens, Knole (NT), Darent River Walk and Dartford Central Park. Also, great location for hopping onto a train into central London.
