Very comfortable hideaway in the woods. As an elderly couple the two bedrooms with their own ensuite facilities was perfect for us. The owner was most welcoming and helpful.

The cottage Little Bourne is in a great location and wonderful for exploring the beautiful surrounding area or even London City. As a family of four, we felt very comfortable there. The hostess is very nice and helpful and even speaks German.

We stayed at Little Bourne in the week running up to a house move and it was perfect for us. Comfortable sitting area, good size bedrooms with ensuite loos and a "jack & jill" arrangement for the shower which would work well if two couples staying. Kitchen compact but had everything needed.

Lovely setting and location close to many famous landmarks with good road links. The cottage is in a lovely secluded quiet location, but Tonbridge shopping is about 5 minutes away by car. It is well equipped, very clean, with lovely views and local walks. The owners are very friendly and will help with any advice or even just for a chat. Hope Read moreto visit again soon. Hide
