  Thank you for a very enjoyable two weeks. We have been delighted with your property. The beautiful, peaceful location is perfect. The tasteful and quality fittings and furnishings have made this feel like a real home and the vase of sweet peas that filled the air with their delicate perfume was a lovely welcoming touch. We compliment you on your information folders, they are well thought out and very comprehensive. You have been delightful hosts, thank you for the home-made rhubarb ice cream, it was delicious. We had it with blackberries that we picked on a walk. The Nutmeg in Sayers Lane serves great coffee. Ozgur, the Turkish restaurant, is excellent value, especially the Tenterden Special, 4 courses and coffee with complimentary jalapenos and olives and melon to finish. The manager is very welcoming. There is much to see around here, Hever, Chartwell and Canterbury well worth a visit.

  This was a return visit for us having stayed in 2011, and it felt like coming home! The property is spotless and has everything you require, in a quiet, beautiful and peaceful setting. It is wonderful to be able to listen to and observe the birds....woodpeckers, great tits, pheasant etc...and the squirrel trying to steal the nuts! Readers Retreat is ideally situated to visit many interesting places...Sissinghurst, Great Dixter, Bodiam Castle, Scotney Castle and many vineyards to name a few. Tenterden is a 40 min walk across the fields if you wish and is an interesting well equipped friendly town with good shops and restaurants.There is also an excellent farm shop with café just up the road. We thoroughly enjoyed revisiting places and finding new ones. It was also good to see Amanda again and catch up on news, we shouldn’t leave it so long next time! We highly recommend Readers Retreat.

  What a wonderful time we had at Corner Cottage in Brighton! The cottage was well equipped and located right in the heart of The Lanes. Be sure to book parking for the week as this makes the stay less stressful. It can be a challenge to drive to the cottage due to it’s central location so make sure you know directions prior to travelling. As a family with teenagers, we had plenty to do all week to keep us occupied with the beach and pier 5 minutes away and shopping on your doorstep. We also had many pleasant evenings enjoying family time at the various restaurants and pubs nearby. The Breakfast Club is opposite the cottage and a definite favourite with our kids. I would definitely recommend Corner Cottage as a wonderful place to stay in Brighton. Thanks Best of Brighton

  We were very happy with the property and company. The reservation process and check-in was smooth and we didn't have any negative issues at all during our 2 week stay over the Christmas holidays. We were happy to arrive at a very clean, well maintained property. There were some Christmas decorations up including a tree; this was a very nice touch and really appreciated! There was even a bundle of firewood which we didn't get to use as it wasn't cold enough. The wifi worked properly, beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room. There were just 2 of us but it would be suitable for 4 people. Everything we needed was close-by with tons of shops and supermarkets a short walk away. We loved it, would stay again and give it a 95% satisfaction score!

  A lovely spacious (more so than the photos suggest) cottage in a beautiful setting with a very friendly and unobtrusive host, who left us several welcome treats. The bed is comfortable, extremely fluffy towels and heating very efficient. The wifi is working well enough to stream on the smart tv. The location is excellent, overlooking beautiful trees, sheep and birds at the bird feeder. At 2 miles from Tenterden and supermarkets it is ideal for shopping and eating out. The lane leading up to the property is narrow, but is quiet and has several passing points. Perfect location for visiting gardens and other landmarks. We had an excellent week, feeling very relaxed and we would highly recommend staying here.
