What a lovely place to stay! We (6 girlfriends, celebrating a 50th birthday) all had a fabulous weekend in this lovely cottage, cosy and comfy, lovely walks an afternoon at Chapeldown which is only a 20 minute taxi ride away and a woodturning stove to enjoy chatting and catching up. We would all highly recommend a stay here.

The spacious cottage in good location & had many comfortable facilities tucked away in the Kent countryside. Rural & v scenic, quiet location. Several really good pubs locally such as the Bull Inn in Benenden & the 3 Chimneys in Biddenden. Our host Genevieve was excellent and provided a very comprehensive welcome pack along with great advice oRead moren local attractions. In terms of Holiday Cottage rentals this is the best place weve stayed in the UK thus far & certainly plan to return. Highly recommended Hide

Enjoyed a lovely week staying at Iden green farm. We found it very relaxing and had some lovely days out, especially at the Bedgebury pinetum which we went to twice. The owners were very friendly and checked that everything was ok.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage - you feel set apart from the hustle of life. It was easy to keep warm and the kitchen is so well equipped. Even though the hosts are on-site, it's in a private setting with lovely views. You do need to get used to ducking through doors upstairs - which adds to the charm - and take care on the stairs.

We had the most glorious week at the cottage, everything you think an English cottage in the country could be and more. Very well appointed (even had a salad spinner). Location was idyllic! Our hosts were lovely, Genevieve was very approachable when needed. The homemade bread, marmalade and fresh eggs were delicious and, alongside the bottle of pRead morerosecco and apple juice, we felt thoroughly spoilt. We would highly recommend this delightful cottage to anyone looking for a quiet retreat. Hide
