"A wonderful cottage and a superbly equipped kitchen."
Very clean and comfortable and couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you, Sharon, for the very warm welcome and the yummy cake. Also, thanks for the all the local information and history. The cottage is located near so many local treasures and the only regret is that the weekend was not enough.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It was lovely to meet you all. I am so pleased you all enjoyed your weekend and that you found everything you needed in the cottage. You certainly made good use of your time in Kent! Property Owner

"Excellent and comfortable accommodation with generous amenities."
Quiet, yet convenient location, with easy access to the south coast, vineyards, and National Trust properties. We were made very welcome by the owners. Good local shopping, with cinema for a rainy day.
Thank you very much. It was lovely to meet you all. I am delighted that the weather was kind enough to allow you to get out and about so much. However, having the Kino cinema in the village is certainly a good rainy day activity! Property Owner

"We had a fantastic week."
The cottage was spotlessly clean, cosy, and very well equipped. Thank you, Sharon, for the warm and attentive welcome, delicious home-made cake, coffee, marmelade, etc. ;-) Spindlewood cottage is in a lovely, quiet location - while being close to good shops, restaurants, and other amenities - and there are plenty of interesting places to visit on the doorstep. A great place to stay - and we would love to return at some point!
Thank you for your lovely and helpful feedback Claire. I am so pleased you enjoyed your week with us. We’d love you to see you all back again! I hope your onward journey to Cambridge went smoothly and you enjoyed your time there. Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay at Spindlewood cottage immensly."
Everything was faultless, clean, tidy & very well equipped. This location is perfect for exploring this part of the world. We particularly enjoyed the steam train ride from Bodiam to Tenterden, Sissinghurst castle gardens and the lovely town of Rye. We've enjoyed walking and exploring the area , and a lovely comfy bed to collapse into. Thanks to Sharon & Clive for their hospitality..
Thank you for your kind words. It was good that you got to do so much despite the weather! I hope you had a nice day in London and an uneventful trip home. Property Owner

"The cottage was excellent: everything we could wish for."
It is in a lovely quiet landscaped setting, well equipped and most comfortable. The adjacent owners were very helpful and friendly and provided essential provisions in a welcome pack which was great for the first night. Ideally located for the numerous nearby National Trust and garden properties as well as attractive historic towns.

"We had a lovely stay at Spindlewood Cottage."
Sharon was very welcoming. The cottage was warm and comfortable and very well equipped particularly the kitchen. We have recommended the cottage to our family and friends. There is loads to see and do in the area particularly if you are a member of the National Trust. We highly recommend the Kino cinema in Hawkhurst.

"Spindlewood cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need."
The layout of the cottage is very nice and works very well for a family. We were really impressed that the owners had some lovely bread, jam and butter waiting for us on arrival and they also made us a lovely cake. They also put up a safety gate for our son which was a bonus and they had lots of games and toys in the property for our son - which goes above and beyond most properties. The only thing that wasn't great was the internet as it would regularly cut out. Otherwise a perfect stay.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you found everything you needed in the cottage and that you enjoyed your stay. I apologise about the quality of the internet. We have looked into it and going forward all should be working satisfactorily. I hope the house hunting is going well. Property Owner
