We loved our stay in the Coach House which was beautifully furnished and very well equipped, making for a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Comfortable beds and sofas, lovely views over the countryside and a short walk into the centre of Goudhurst. The pool was a particular bonus as we had lovely weather. We will definitely return.

A perfect break. The house is very comfortable with everything you could need. Lovely beds, big fluffy towels, powerful shower, thank you for all the small personal touches you have added for ease. We loved that it was close to Sissinghurst & Scotney Castle, Bedgebury and Bewl water. We have been very lucky with the weather and enjoyed the views frRead moreom the decking whilst our small dog enjoyed the secure walled garden. Would love to come back. Hide

A lovely large cottage in beautiful surroundings. Very clean and well equipped. Super garden which our dog loved. Added bonus was being able to use the swimming pool. I would thoroughly recommend staying here.
