We enjoyed our short stay in this comfortable converted stables in the village of Rolvenden. There is a well equipped kitchen, pleasant living room and outside patio. The village is near the lovely town of Tenterden and within easy acces of a host of places of interest by the sea and in the beautiful Wealden countryside.

We have absolutely nothing bad to say about this cottage. It is wonderfully and lovingly furnished, with great attention to detail. Very cosy! There really is everything imaginable in the house - you don't need anything from home. The location is absolutely perfect for all kinds of activities. Dogs are also welcome. We were even allowed to help oRead moreurselves to the fruit in the private garden and pick absolutely delicious plums. If anything is missing or you need tips for excursions, you can ring the owners at any time. Both are always ready to help, thank you very much! So an absolute recommendation from our side for this house! Hide

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. Good location with plenty of things to do nearby and several playground close by for our toddler. The owners were very friendly and allowed us to use the pool which was a great added bonus on warm days.

The cottage is in a lovely part of Kent, but it is well below the standard of a holiday cottage that I would expect. The exterior seemed neglected and apart from the bathroom, the interior dated with dingy lighting and uncomfortable furniture. In particular, the single bed mattress was very old and you could feel the springs. The owners were awayRead more on holiday at the time of our stay and said they could not do anything to improve the situation. The bedding and towels were clean. It was so uncomfortable, we cut our holiday short and left early. This may have been a nice place to stay in the past, but sadly, I could not recommend it. Hide

A very quaint, comfortable and well appointed cottage in a good location for sightseeing in the area. Although close to a main road it is quiet and secluded. We particularly valued the safety for our young dog in the courtyard and the close proximity to dog walking areas.
