"The let was clinically clean and poorly designed ithe a ground floor shower room / loo accessible through the Kitchen area and lounge and with no upstairs ablution arrangement. The motor exit is EXTREMELY dangerous to the unwary and I would not return for this reason alone"

"The Parlour is the ideal location for anyone attending a course or visiting Sarah Raven’s Perch Hill garden. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. It was lovely to meet Louise and her horses."

"Not the easiest cottage to find since it took 2 attempts! However, once located we were thrilled to find picture postcard perfect home away from home. Clean, comfortable, and well appointed with nice outdoor space. Very easy access to local countryside."

"The cottage is very cosy with everything you need. It's close to all amenities and the train station but quiet and private. Communication with the host Claire was excellent and clear and she was very attentive to make sure I had everything I needed. I had a really relaxing stay here recharging my batteries after Xmas!"

"Owners very friendly. Ideal for children, Lovely outside areas including Romany caravan, Wendy houses, Tennis Court, 2 BBQ areas, 2 trampolines, zip wire, lots is outside seating, duck pond, chickens etc. Plenty of choice, but some of the equipment has seen better days !"

"Close to wonderful gardens (sissinghurst, Great Dixter) and historic properties like Hever castle and Winston Churchill’s home at Chartwell. Comfortable and well furnished."

"We had a wonderful stay at Marble cottage with two small children. It was a perfect retreat in a gorgeous village. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly clean. We would 100% return. Thank you Maite 😊"

"What a fantastic stay. We chose this property as we needed to vacate our home whilst work was being done, but it ended up so much more than just a place to lay our heads. The location, near the main road was ideal, but actually very quiet, as it was set down a hill. Pauline, the owner, couldn't have been more accomodating, finding extra parking for us and sorting out things very quickly. The location was brilliant, especially for our 2 dogs who loved the peaceful walks in the near vacinity"

"Lovely property, and easy to contact the owner as we had visitors and needed extra table and chairs for the garden - provided and much appreciated"

"Really beautiful place. Very relaxing. Very clean."

"A lovely property, perfectly equipped for a short break. Cath had supplied everything we could ask for and more. The only issued was the lack of comfortable seating when the sofa bed was left as a bed. Jen the dog was an absolute delight. Road from property seems to be a single track speedway with car users reluctant to slow down for dog walkers. We loved our stay and found it a perfect base for Brands Hatch."

"A wonderful tucked away cottage. It has a lovely little garden where my daughter was able to work with the sound of birds to keep her company. We particularly like character cottages and you couldn't ask for more but at the same time modern and so comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and up to date. The main bathroom was great and spacious - and nice to have the additional smaller loo too. Two charming bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs. The bathrooms are both downstairs so anyone getting...

"We had a great stay in this lovely little property on a working farm. The farmers were very friendly and obliging. There are so many gardens and houses to visit in the area and we got to the coast as well. We hope to return one day."

"Such a nice quiet place"

"This was so well-placed for our needs. It was a super well-equipped compact property in a glorious setting that combined a quiet, country atmosphere with every modern and stylish facility. High quality kitchen and bathroom fittings plus the interior decor gave it a real boutique feel. Hosts friendly and welcoming. Would not hesitate to use this again."

"No complaints. very comfortable and clean. beautiful setting."

"Lovely property in a delightful spot. Amazing views sand a chance to relax."

"Super cute, historic cottage, close to some fantastic sightseeing. Unfortunately, it was freezing cold when we arrived. Even after the owner popped by the following morning and got the radiators going, it was still so very cold. My friend slept in her coat one night. The water was consistently lukewarm or freezing cold. This, coupled with the cold house temp, made it extremely uncomfortable. I finally contacted the owner 3 days in when I realized it didn’t matter who showered first it was...

"The house was very well presented, with all the amenaties you'd expect. The kitchen and bathrooms were especially great. We had a few minor issues that were sorted with the owner without much fuss - including replacing the toaster entirely as the old one gave up on us! The only downside for us is we thought it was slightly closer to Woolwich tube station than it turned out to be so we has to bus it from there to a stop closer to the house. This was fine most of the time but on arrival with...

"Room was good but the only issue was that our room was next to the gym & it sounded like someone was working out at midnight"

"Had to leave the key for the room in the door, as the main building was locked up when I left. Not a big drama though"
