Marlborough House, High Halden
Property was very much as described. Located in a wonderful part of the Kent Countryside with so many activities to do in the immediate and wider vicinities. The property was well equipped and had a very attentive owner for whom nothing was too much bother. Children has acres of space to safely play in within the property grounds with equipment provided also This was a tremendous location for family holidays in a quiet rural setting. Too many activities to do so we would love to visit again.

Family Get Together
We chose the property based on the description which allowed us to allocate the sleeping arrangements for all the family sensibly. The house suited our purpose brilliantly and was the ideal property for our get together and catch up following the hideous two years we have all been through. We used it as a base for our daytime activities and found it sited in an area which has a diverse number of attractions and activities to visit. The evening allowed us to entertain ourselves well with games provided and a BBQ large enough to cook for all the family..... a real bonus. The one slight downside is the distance to the local hostelry if you want to walk it. For the young it is not too far but for us more mature folk it can be tiring.......especially the return journey after a sherbet or two. It took us approx. half an hour to walk there and a little longer to get back as we were feeling quite relaxed at this point! However this is a minor point. Our host was most welcoming and nothing was to much trouble for him and he ensured our stay was problem free. If the size of house is what you want then I would certainly recommend a stay there.
