Found the information recieved about this property very misleading! No barbecue,no welcome pack! On asking the owners about this did not have time to shop for pack, do not allow barbecue,despite this clearly stated on the information provided.

A beautiful lodge in a wonderful location. Spent four very chilled nights here, it was so peaceful. Well equipped lodge with a lovely wood burner, we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was fantastic and well used by us on our stay. A lovely part of the country, lots to see! We visited Rye, the Knole and Scotney Castle. lovely hosts.

Lovely accommodation - peaceful and comfortable, and extremely welcoming hosts. Just be aware that there is one bathroom and those sleeping in the mezzanine, will have to go through the bottom bedroom if you wish to use the facilities at night. Its not ideal, but it wasnt an issue for us.
