Everything felt very new and in pristine condition which really made it feel like a special place to stay. There was plenty of space for us all to relax in and we loved the balcony which caught both the morning and evening sun. It was a really peaceful setting and the garden was beautiful. There were lovely walks along public footways through the woodlands and fields behind the cottage accessed through a public footpath just along the road. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of space for our own food and in the fridge/freezer. The washing machine was also much appreciated as was the large drying rack. It was in a great location and we enjoyed visits to Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst Castle, the White Cliffs of Dover, Wingham Wildlife Park, Mote Park and Leeds Castle as well as spending time with friends and family.
