The setting is peaceful and relaxed and the house has all the amenities, lots of interesting books and very comfy beds. It was well located for visits to Lamb House, Great Dixter, Smallhythe Place and Bodiam Castle and an excellent Sunday lunch at The Ewe & Lamb in Rolvenden. We would happily stay here again.

It has a Bohemian feel about it and is full of antique quirky furnishings as well as eclectic crockery and cutlery, we loved that. I did find the settee and seating in the sitting room uncomfortable but as l didn't spend much time in there it wouldn't put me off rebooking and l'm sure we will.
