Beds were warm and comfortable. Sitting room was cozy with the wood burner. Kitchen well equipped to handle a full Christmas meal for all of us. Very quiet, semi-remote location. Far enough away to truly feel “in the countryside” but close enough to make a long day of it to London. ##### Thomas S. Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberley L. 18 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mooie cottage in een rustige, natuurrijke omgeving Mooie cottage, vriendelijke verhuurder. We hebben genoten van de rust en natuur. Binnen een uurtje met de trein in London en met de auto in een uur in bijvoorbeeld Brighton of Sevenoaks. Lekker buiten zitten onder de sterrenhemel, af en toe wat leuke diertjes langs. Kortom wij hebben een fijn verblijf gehad. ##### Kimberley L.
