Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
There are a few points that need improving:
Oven- the rubber seal was broken and therefore unable to use.
Shower- given the size of the bathroom the shower was very small. It was crampt and a lot of space taken up with the shower caddy.
The double sinks are too big and take up any counter space needed.
The overall cleanliness of the cottage was OK. I wiped down all the cupboards myself as there was a lot of marks.
When we arrived we had two spiders in the corner of the room, which wasn't the greatest first impression.
Fireplace- the inner side of the fireplace was filthy.
Washing machine- no tablets or powder was supplied.
We were also surprised that there was no welcome pack upon arrival e.g milk

Quiet and very rural
Comfortable and very well equipped, quite dark inside because of trees, needs attention to detail in the cleaning department! Bed was very clean and comfortable.
Directions from A2 should take you through Alkham not Lydden which has single tract road!!
Really quiet rural location, closer to amenities than you first think with some great local pubs serving excellent food. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing, ideal for the dog and for hiking. Norrow lanes may not be to everyone's taste but added to the adventure.
Quiet location, well equipped cottage, a week of relaxation. Only one negative comment. Black sofas in living area look very stylish, but impractical and uncomfortable to sit and watch TV.
Very clean modern has everything you would need great if you have small dogs as lovely grassy wood land in the front of the property.They have thought of everything even two toilets.Had a very enjoyable stay .
