We stayed for a week at this charming former pub in Cranbrook which is full of character and turned out to be a great choice for a 2-family gathering (3 adults and 5 children). The original wooden beams give the whole place a warm, timeless feel, making it instantly welcoming.One of the real highlights is the water pressure — genuinely excellent and the kitchen is also well-equipped with a large table that’s perfect for hosting friends and family.On colder days, the wood-burning stove really comes into its own, creating a cosy, snug atmosphere that makes the house feel like a true retreat.One downside is external and entirely out of the owner’s control: a neighbouring backyard garden that was unfortunately not well maintained and contained a noticeable amount of dog waste. This didn’t detract from the quality or comfort of the property itself, but it is worth noting. Parking could also be problematic as the fairly large carpark across the street was (surprisingly to us) frequently full.Great house for a family meetup with Cranbrook as a good location for many Kent and East Sussex locations.
