A great find! Woodpeckers Cottage offers ideal accommodation for a couple. It is bright, compactly spacious, with a small private garden and parking for one car. It is conveniently located for access to the many National Trust properties nearby and also to the South Coast. On arrival, we found a generous basket of provisions for breakfast and were later welcomed by our host. There are many farm shops nearby and there is a good choice of places to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property!

Hever Castle Market Accommodation

I stayed here as it was close to the Hever Castle Market which I was exhibiting at. It was so peaceful and relaxing to come back to the cottage after a day at the market. The property had everything I could want and Angie was a fabulous host
