The cottage received high marks for cleanliness, with guests describing it as clean and tidy. No negative comments about cleanliness were noted.

Comfort was generally praised, especially the cosy fire and well-equipped house. However, guests taller than average mentioned the low ceilings and door frames as a discomfort, impacting the score.
Facilities were well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen and modern bathrooms. However, there were comments about the need for dishwasher maintenance and clearer instructions for the cooker, which slightly lowered the score.

Lovely and peaceful, every home comfort is provided with a well equipped kitchen and modern bathrooms. Beautiful views and local pubs with excellent menus. The fire is a highlight and added to the cosy feel of this cottage.

I was stayed whilst clearing my brother’s house locally.. very tastefully decorated and well equipped house. My dog was well catered for. I thought I would miss not having a tv but the internet was very good so I could stream on my iPad.. my only criticism would be the lack of privacy in the bathroom. Wouldn’t have been an issue if I was staying with my partner but I was with my sister in law. The glass which was beautiful, allowed for someone to see you whilst in there!!I would definitely book again but probably only if I was with my partner..I will be be back again for phase two of house clearance.

We spent a wonderfully cosy Christmas at this beautiful cottage! The house was well equipped with everything we could possibly need for our stay and it was the perfect base for exploring nearby Hever Castle and Hartfield for Pooh Corner and the ‘100 Acre Wood’.
