Lovely property

We stayed here as 3 couples. The property was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The gardens were fabulous just a shame the weather wasn’t always on our side to enjoy them more. Definitely recommend this property. Thank you

great family place for a relaxing country holiday

the place was lovely and the the gardens were great too, the owners are kind too, as is a shared garden with the owners, they were having a family celebration and there guests had children who where very friendly and played with out kids, there are only two faults with the place, no slip mats in the showers so dangerous and no rail on the outside stairs which are dangerous for a child and elderly holiday makers, also listed as wheelchair friendly you would struggle getting to the garden in the chair but everything in the house was usable if in a chair. i would defiantly stay here again

Two spacious cottages in a large beautiful garden

We rented these cottages to meet up as a family for our daughters wedding. They were immaculate with plenty of crockery, cutlery etc. Loved that the cottages were interconnected from the back terraces. Hosts were very helpful and prompt answering all my questions. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

Christmas Stay

First and most importantly, Lieven and Lydia are the perfect hosts, very responsive, helpful and welcoming. Woodland Cottages are also well equipped and family friendly, and our children enjoyed the very large backyard and adventure playset.

Perfect & comfortable days at a lovely cottage.

We felt home & comfortable at the wonderful cottage. Modern kitchen & barhrooms, a cosy living room, very friendly host, a great garden. Perfect spot to relax & discover beautiful Kent and the Southeast (White Cliffs at Dover, Canterbury, Bodiam Castle and so on). For a person in a wheelchair only with a assistant person useable (Entrance, terrace), the house itself is on one level with enough space for the wheelchair.

Extremely comfortable in a beautiful setting

Lavender Cottage is very well equipped, smartly decorated and a very comfortable place for a vacation. The owners have gone out of their way to make it welcoming, and the entire rental process was professional and completely uneventful. The location is gorgeous and encourages one to take advantage of the veranda for meals. We would have no hesitation in renting again if we had the opportunity to stay in the area again.

A fantastic holiday

We stayed for 5 nights and we had a lovely time. The house were perfect, the garden so lovely and it was nice to practise some tennis. We enjoyed the countryside and just the silent being in the countryside. I can so recommend the property and we will definitely stay there again. Thank you, Tony and Caroline for being so kind and for having us to stay.

Heerlijke vakantiewoning in Yalding

Wij hebben met ons gezin (2 volwassenen en 5 kids in de leeftijd van 0 - 10) 5 heerlijke dagen gehad in Yalding. Het weer was goed, in het huis is werkelijk alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. De tuin is geweldig om te zitten, maar ook zeker voor de kids om te spelen. Elke badkamer heeft zijn eigen badkamer, echt idelaal. Vanaf het vakantiehuis kunnen diverse trips gemaakt worden alle kanten op. Een dagje Londen is ideaal, met de trein vanaf Paddock Wood sta je binnen 50 minuten in hartje Londen. Deze vakantie was zeker voor herhaling vatbaar! Groetjes fam. Huisman, Alblasserdam

Good facilities and nicely maintained, comfortable cottage

We, 3 generations, have spent 3 nights at the Lavender cottage for mother's 92th birthday, the owner not only supplied a very thoughtful welcome pack which contains milk, bread, butter, a nice bottle of white wine and a large bottle of home-made very delicious apple juice but also warmly introduced the cottage and the local services. It was a pleasant short stay and can play tennis there with children was an enhanced leisure, the cottage located in a quiet area, nice to hear more birds singing in the early morning, the cottage is very close to a teapot exhibition that has collected 8000 different designed pieces from the world. The owner is very helpful and communicated very well with us for answering our enquiries also the cottage facilities are excellent and convenient. We have recommended this lovely cottage to our friends.
