Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'nice and clean' and 'very clean', indicating a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.

The location is frequently praised for being peaceful and ideal for exploring Kent and visiting National Trust properties, though some guests note the proximity to a busy road when accessing the A21.

The comfort of the cottage is well-regarded, with guests finding the beds comfy and the en-suite rooms spacious. However, a few guests mention limited seating and table space for larger groups.

Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchenette and en-suite bathrooms. Some guests mention the lack of an oven and issues with the TV signal, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome baskets and festive touches, although it is politely noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

    It was very clean, comfortable and warm. The kitchen is a bit basic but we did know this before we arrived and we managed without any fuss. I would love to return sometime in the future.
