"Lovely well maintained cottage & garden."
Perfect for short stays but we found the downstairs just a bit too small for any longer. Also it would be helpful if torches were provided for the long dark walk back from the Castle View restaurant. It was pitch black and we had to manage with the torch on our phone!

"I think Sykes website is really good which I do use regularly but on this occasion the photographs were out of date and very disappointing that there was no daybed in the garden as seen on the pictures It was a pleasant surprise to find the cottage was in the grounds of Leeds Castle,this was not in the description on Sykes website (which made it confusing on arrival ) with free entry to the castle and grounds, even when it was closed more than made up for it This cottage is the perfect holiday home, especially if you love wildlife and nature as we do we had a really nice time."
The cottage is a beautiful place to be. we would definitely recommend this as a place to stay

"The cottage is in the most perfect location by the Weir (naturally!"
) so we saw an abundance of ducks and moorhens. The garden is large and beautifully planted and fully secure for our dog to roam free. The front garden has a magnificent weeping willow. The house itself is compact but very comfortable, the shower room is modern and the shower is hot and powerful. The whole of the upstairs is the bedroom, which is decorated well and has a very comfy bed. The toiletries supplied are plentiful and from the fabulously luxurious Noble Isle range. The welcome pack of snacks, biscuits, soft drinks and a pint of milk (for a welcome cup of tea on arrival) was much appreciated..(with a few teabags and coffee sachets supplied in the kitchen cupboard too). We had the most glorious week of sunshine and have taken so many sunrise and sunset we could publish a book! Castle staff throughout were extremely friendly and utterly professional. We have already booked the same week next year and were very sad to leave.

"The pictures of this property do not do it justice."
A very cozy cottage, and a lovely location, with the sound of the running water from the river to soothe the sole. The garden was beautifully maintained and it would be lovely to go back in the summer to take advantage. Set on the grounds of the Leeds Castle and we took advantage of complimentary tickets during our long weekend. Would definitely recommend a stay.
Dear Sandra We are so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at Weir Cottage. We hope to welcome you back to enjoy the Leeds Castle Estate again in the future, hopefully in the summer to fully take advantage of the cottage garden. Kindest regards The Leeds Castle Accommodation Team Property Owner

"A truly perfect location for a relaxing break, especially in these surreal times."
The cottage is full of character and the garden secluded with the weir closeby, so relaxing to listen to along with the wildlife and the many fish that my husband enjoyed catching in the evening. Having access to the grounds of Leeds Castle with it's incredible scenery to enjoy only a short walk away, it was the perfect location to explore the surrounding area knowing that the cottage was there to return to for peace and quiet.

"The setting is lovely that cannot be denied But they need to improve their meet and great We were told to go to Broomfield road where we had trouble getting in, once at the office we were given verbal instructions to go back out of the park and into the A20 entrance, once in the entrance we had no idea where we were going, there should be a meet and great to take you to your cottage Once in there was a problem with the cold feed to the shower consequently we had to shower under a drip, we did call up but it was 1."
5 hours before someone came at which point we were heading out for a reserved dinner We tried everything but the Wi-fi simply didn't work
