We really enjoyed our stay at this holiday home. It is lovingly and cosily furnished, with everything you could possibly need – you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into the details. We especially loved the secluded location, which allowed us to truly switch off and enjoy the peace and quiet. One minor point of criticism is that the cleanliness could have been a bit better in some areas. Overall, however, the positive aspects far outweigh this, and we would definitely love to come back!

Dear Norman I am so glad you enjoyed your stay at our cottage and that you had everything you needed it is definitely the place to relax. I do wish you had mentioned the little cleaning issue u had during your 2 week stay as we would have gladly put it right for you straight away especially as you did meet with my cleaner and she asked you if you were having a nice stay and did you need anything but thankfully you said you were all fine having and lovely time Which we were so glad to hear Hopefully you will be able to visit again sometime.

Lovely cottage as starting point for Kent visits

The cottage is well centered in the middle of Kent and therefore an optimal retreat for any Kent visits. Lovely and luxurious cottage with a responsive owner. 20 minutes drive to sandy beaches as well as 40 minutes to Canterbury, Turnbridge Wells or Sissihurst Gardens. Just an outstanding vacation experience to be repeated!!!

Chocolate-Box Perfection!

The most beautiful thatched English country cottage, decorated to quirky perfection and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Wonderful family living space includes a great kitchen, fully equipped with a really comfortable seating area for TV watching. There are two sets of stairs, which we found manageable and heated floors! The dining room in the conservatory is classy and light, leading into the prettiest, most peaceful garden, full of shrubs & flowers and overlooking open fields. The bedroom was cosy, the bed very comfortable, the colours feminine and welcoming. A lovely location to explore the Kent countryside and beaches. We especially enjoyed Camber Sands (great for dogs before 1st May) and Tenterden, with good places to eat and lots of independent shops. We so enjoyed the experience, as did our little furry companion and we’d definitely recommend it!

Beautiful cottage

The cottage is beautiful, the surroundings are beautiful. The owner takes pride in the cottage and it is evident from the moment you arrive. It exceeded our expectations and we were not disappointed at all. The only tip I have for guests arriving who are not familiar with the area is to arrive before dark or you may find it difficult to find :)

Perfection in every way

From the moment you open the gate you are transported to this amazing place where every little detail had been thought of. We all felt at home immediately. There is nothing more we needed or could of thought that would have improved our stay. We will be back and I can not recommend highly enough. Just amazing in every way!

A beautiful cottage and a terrific stay

We could not recommend this cottage more highly. The property is extremely pretty and our daughter loved pottering around in the garden watering the flowers. The hot tub is a highlight which is top of the range with powerful jets and underwater lighting. The cottage has a wonderful balance of traditional beauty combined with luxury modern facilities. The local area is fantastic to explore with excellent biking and walks. The owner was extremely helpful throughout. We would stay again.

This beautiful thatched cottage really has to be seen to be believed. From the pristine, modern facilities, including a relaxing hot tub, to the garden and stunning surrounding views, it's simply amazing! There's also loads of local attractions including the Gusbourne Estate vineyard literally next door! Excellent customer service and hassel free booking, I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

Wonderful Cottage!

We visited the cottage in February and had a wonderful stay the cottage is warm and so cosy beautifully furnished with top end furnishings and very spacious for 6 persons there are amazing views from all parts of the cottage. We braved the hot tub and it was wonderfully clean and warm and so relaxing sitting in the bubbles looking over the countryside while relaxing what bliss! The cottage is ideally situated near to lovely villages and the town of Tenterden with good shopping and lovely eateries. If you can I strongly recommend you visit this charming cottage it is a must and we will definitely be going back plus the owners were lovely people to deal with and very helpful to us.

Absolutely perfect

A beautiful chocolate box cottage, looks teeny from the outside, but upon entering it’s a tardis! Light, bright and airy; a fabulous mixture of hundreds of year old charm with modern facilities (like a lovely new kitchen and bathroom). Spotlessly clean, incredibly well equipped this is a perfect rental. Views are stunning, the area is beautiful, the hot tub is fabulous. Highly recommend.

A perfect dream cottage in the countryside

We had a wonderful stay at this idyllic cottage which lived up to all our expectations. The views are absolutely stunning and the area is perfect for trips to beautiful Rye and Tenterden and walks on the lovely sandy beach at Camber. The owners were incredibly helpful and the cottage was very clean and cosy with absolutely everything we needed. It was so pretty and characterful, we just loved it and can’t wait to go back soon!

Picturesque stay in this wonderful cottage

We all had such a wonderful stay at this stunning cottage, I would give it 10 stars if I could! It is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and had everything we needed - including a hot tub!! The kids loved the hot tub, and so did we! What a beautiful way to relax and enjoy the views! The owners were lovely and gave us some great suggestions on where to visit and to eat. Battle is a great place to go for the day, and we had a wonderful meal at Simply I in Rye, thanks for the suggestions! The cottage was lovely & clean and everything inside was decorated beautifully. We had everything we needed for cooking etc. I spent a lot of my time in the conservatory in the evening, relaxing and reading my book and star gazing! What a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back and I am still recommending this to all my friends!! Thanks !

We had a wonderful stay in Brittons hill Cottage in November this was a family get together and we all had the most amazing time in this beautiful house with lots of room and space for all 6 of us, the hot tub was a real luxury the children adored it also the kitchen made my wife very envious we had lots of great food in the pubs and some lovely drives out also Tenterden was just a 10 minute drive with lovely shops and eateries but we would look forward to coming back to the cottage to relax as it is so comfortable and has everything you could ask for we know this area quite well and like to visit this part of Kent as it’s a great location but staying at this delightful Cottage was definitely the highlight. Thank you so much for a perfect stay.
