Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Was perfect to accommodate 13 and 1 dog over the three barns. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean with powerful showers. Great that the garden is fenced in allowing the dog to roam.

A good base in a lovely location for 14 family members, from 78 to 3 months old. It was particularly good to have 3 separate dwellings but nice that Reynards was big enough for us all to get together to eat sometimes. The children enjoyed the garden space for games etc and liked visiting the cows and sheep. All of the properties were very welRead morel equipped and Fiona was very prompt in replacing a toaster that was broken. Probably not the most spotless of properties we have stayed in over the years - we found clothing on the floor (left by previous people) in the second bedroom of Medlars and a very dusty chest of drawers! Also, we did suggest that all of the double beds need replacing - everyone in our party complained about them, either being very hard and squeaky or with uncomfortable springs! Hide

We were a family group of 10 with ages ranging from to 2 years to 85 years old. Fiona and Kevin are great hosts. Each of the properties were excellent. They were all very comfortable, clean and had all the equipment needed for a perfect stay. Reynards is the bigger house and easily accommodated our family group for mealtimes and get togethers in Read morethe evening. The children loved the garden area. As we had good weather they spent lots of time outside in a paddling pool we brought with us. Theres lots of great days out nearby. We visited Hastings, Rye, Bexhill, Ashford Designer Outlet and had a trip on the Kent and Sussex railway to Bodiam Castle. We all enjoyed a meal at The Red Lion pub in Brede which had fabulous food and service. Our family had a fantastic time at Escheatlands and I would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Hide

We were three closely related families: 8 adults, 4 children and two dogs. The set-up of three properties was ideal, as we could be together or separate, as required. The children loved being able to wander freely around the grassy areas and between the three barns as they wished and to see the farm animals. Each barn was beautifully presented, cleRead morean and equipped with absolutely everything required, plus more things we hadn't thought of. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and we would highly recommend the produce from their farm: wonderfully tasty sausages, burgers and meat, delightfully quirky boxes of eggs, which looked almost too decorative to eat, plus salad and vegetable boxes, freshly picked on the premises. The area is incredibly interesting and historic and only a short drive to the coast, so there was always something to do. Some of us were also very happy to find a skateboard park in Peasmarsh, about 3 miles away! Altogether, we had a really wonderful time and hope to return before too long. Hide

The accomodation and location were exactly what we wanted. Clean, well equipped cottages, beautiful views and newborn lambs. What more could one ask?

This cottage is stunning. The location is nearby some key attractions, for example Oxney Vineyard, yet we still felt like we were in our own little world in the middle of the farm. The rooms were clean and had what we needed and we loved the welcome baskets each cottage had! One of our favourite parts were meeting the little four legged feline guesRead morets, they were very accommodating. Beautiful surroundings and very relaxing. Would come back again for sure! Hide
