We stayed at Sue's place for one night on Easter weekend and really enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival, we met Sue and Alan, who were lovely and full of good local pub and walk recommendations. The room was really nicely prepared for us and exactly as photographed - great for romantic getaway. The breakfast spread left in the room was outstanding and was packed full of locally products, which was a nice touch. We also found chocolate eggs on our pillows in what was a nice Easter gesture. The location was also ideal, right in the centre of Beneneden, a stone's throw from the Bull, which had great food - as recommended by Sue and Allan. All in all, a nice place to stay the night.

For a rather last minute booking, Sue was communicative and thought of everything. She booked us in for a meal at the local pub (mere steps from the cabin) which was delicious! She gave us some tips on places to see and things to do, and was genuinely lovely to talk to, even before we arrived! We let Sue know we were on our way after stopping off at some National Trust places, and we were greeted at the door and shown to our cabin. It's a lovely space, big bed, good shower, and handy kitchen equipment for that much needed cup of tea/coffe! Lovely bread and jams were provided for breakfast in the morning. The location is quiet and residential, and is conveniently located to some lovely sites like Bodiam Castle, Sissinghurst and Rye. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would recommend Sue's cabin to anyone exploring the Kent Wealds.

We would highly recommend this beautifully presented summer house, which we used as a base for visiting the nearby bluebell woods and countryside. Sue was the perfect host, including lots of personal touches and kindly lent us a map for our walk.

Fantastic place! Very clean, cosy, lovely decor and ... the best towels ever :) We felt like at home. Sue provided us with fresh local food and homemade cookies. Great escape for couples!

The warmest of welcomes from Emma and her sons. The Studio was even more than I expected, comfortable, beautifully decorated and just a great feel about the place. Set in a stunning garden and area with the added bonus of a charming pub next door. Emma couldn't do enough to make my stay a great one. There was fresh bread and local jam on arrival which showed that Emma gave that extra touch to everything in the Studio. The perfect stay.

Emma's studio, situated in the beautiful Kent countryside was absolutely stunning! The surrounding gardens are a joy to look over and the whole property is incredibly well maintained. The little touches that Emma provided, such as the local bread and jam really show that she cared for her guests. We could not have asked for more from our host. If you're looking for a country retreat then look no further! Thank you Emma, we will be sure to return and hope to see you in Hastings soon.

The summerhill Studio of Emma is an absolutely wonderfull place to stay. The studio is very spacious, has been furnished with a lot of attention to detail and the bed slept really amazing. Emma was a very warm and welcoming host, and I definitely recommend staying at her place... as you will enjoy all of it!

The Studio was a fantastic self-contained gem, Emma a lovely host and added to the morning autumn sunlight streaming into the garden there is a delightful very old pub next door to spend some evening time. A true delight, peaceful and well located on the Weald of Kent. Thank you Emma

Emma was really helpful and great at communicating with us in the lead up (even though we didn't see her this time). The studio was very clean, done to a really high standard and the bed was huge and very comfy. It also has a little terrace with table and chairs that is good to sit out on. The studio is just on the right before the pub, down a gravel drive with gates at the end. We'd definitely stay again if we are in the area. The whole place is light and airy and looks bigger than the pictures. Thanks!

We had a nice relaxing stay in Kent. This was a lovely studio in a quiet setting. Close to interesting places to visit, also worth walking round the corner to the peaceful orchard nearby. Plenty of local food to enjoy in the pubs nearby. Helpful list of places to visit and eat provided. We could come and go as we pleased which made the stay very pleasant and relaxing. Many thanks!

Perfect for what we needed as it was close to Benenden and we were going to watch a play. It was very private and a gorgeous space very modern as the photos. The location is very scenic and has a local pub next door which was nice for a drink. We loved our stay some nice little touches with tea and coffee and fresh milk in the fridge. The host was lovely we will be back.

Very comfortable, clean, spacious room in quiet location with lovely garden aspect

Eleanor is a friendly host. She has a lovely house. She gave me a lot of space to do my own things. She found it ok when I cooked my supper in the kitchen. A place to come back.

We had such a wonderful stay in Sophie's barn. Sophie herself was very welcoming and the barn was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We went for four days to check out the area as a place to live, but glorious sunshine and so many amazing places to visit (Sissingshurst, Great Dixter, Rye, Camber Sands) meant it felt more like a summer holiday. The barn is in a very quiet country lane, and Benenden itself is a classic Kent village, with cricketers on the green, a lovely local pub and everything you could need. We are now back in London, relaxed and sun tanned (who knew?) and already missing the barn and especially Toffee the world's most affectionate dog. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable stay.

This quite hideaway was perfect for a few days in the country. Great walks on the door step and some fantastic local pubs made our stay exactly what we wanted.

Nice countryside cottage. Near to historical sites and nice beaches.

Lovely farmhouse in idyllic location surrounded by countryside. Large comfy bedroom with bathroom. Light breakfast included. Host Eleanor was away while we stayed however she was easily contactable and very helpful.

We had a wonderful weekend at this windmill & will 100% be back at some time in the future. Would definitely recommend.

Clare was an absolute star to deal with, so quick and helpful, she did everything she could and went out of her way to make sure we where all happy with the booking! I booked for my parents as a surprise, so I can't really speak for the place itself! But the feedback I got from my parents and in particular, my extremely picky and perfectionist of a handy man dad, I can safely say, that this place is a shining jewel in airbnb's locker and is probably one of the best if not THE best place on offer in the U.K.! A massive thank you to Clare and a huge congratulations on a fantastic windmill! We wish you all the success you both deserve! "Beautifully restored with love and care the windmill is a great place to relax and unwind. There was a warm welcome from Clare with bread, apple juice and wine. The bathroom was luxurious and the bedroom very comfortable. The mill has lovely views of surrounding countryside with sunsets and sunrises visible from the lovely windows or the decking. Would love to go back and spend a little more time there. There are plenty of books to read and dvds to watch for longer nights or rainy days. Plenty of places you would like to visit also ....old towns,castles,gardens,beaches etc. Nice walks on the doorstep and good local pubs. Just a great place to stay.....thankyou" (my mum and dad)

Windmill was amazing, thanks. Have not stayed anywhere as spectacular as this before. The standard of the fit-out Clare has performed is great. Nice surrounding areas too, with a decent selection of pubs, walks and restuarants. Beach only a 25minute drive away too. Thanks again !

Perfect for a weekend break to escape the city. The property itself is stunning with fantastic views of the country side. The mills has been refurbished to the highest standard and has everything you need. The village is lovely and worth a visit if you do stay, great pub food! Claire is a great host and I look forward to staying again in the future.

A completely unique place to stay in an idyllic location. The only negative was having to leave. Thank you for sharing your lovely windmill with us!

A fantastic welcoming stay with amazing views night and day.

Clare is a wonderful host. I had high expectations based on the reviews on this site and they were all met and exceeded. The property itself was clearly restored with much care and love and my partner and I really enjoyed learning more about the history of the building. We spent 2 nights there although clearly not enough and we intend to return before long.

We loved our stay at the Old Smock Windmill! What a magical experience - the windmill itself was beautiful, the interior thoughtfully designed. It had everything we needed for a short break to relax and forget about normal life! Clare was fantastic, there was lots of information available about the local area, though we spent most of our time in the windmill as it was so lovely! Thanks so much for having us :)

I had a great stay in Benenden. Jason and Toni's home is a delightful cottage, beautiful, on the edge of the village in peaceful countryside, exactly as described. The room is brand newly decorated, peaceful and comfortable. A large double bed, plenty of space if you need to unpack, and shared use of the bathroom with awesome power shower. Toni (Jason was away) made me feel incredibly welcome, giving me top local tips and even dropped me into benenden village Centre for the wedding I was attending. The house is a 10-12 min walk from the shops/ pub, but in heels, the car was very much appreciated! Croissants and fresh coffee for breakfast were delicious. If I ever had cause to visit Benenden again I wouldn't hesitate to stay here.

Very sociable and hospitable

Rachel's room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and with a huge bed. The area was very quiet and peaceful. Views from the window across the garden and out to the open fields were lovely and we felt like we were in the heart of the Kent countryside.

The studio is wonderful! Has everything you could want for a short break, an excellent (and large) bed and a lovely countryside view. Rachel was great and helped us lots with last minute requests, and a lot of effort has clearly gone into setting the flat up so well. It's a lovely setting to explore the countryside and we'd love to go back. Perfect place for a long weekend getting away from the city.

We were made most welcome by Rachel and were made to feel we could contact her at anytime if needed. Hospitality was warm and the contact with our hosts was unobtrusive and wonderfully balanced. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and we would have no problem in recommending to friends and family. The accommodation works well being across the way from the main house, which led to a peaceful and restful break. We would have no hesitation to return again.

This was a lovely place to stay. It's the upper level of a barn within the grounds of the owners' house, and has been converted into a studio flat. It's beautifully furnished in whites and blues, and very comfortable with an enormous bed. There is a well-equipped small kitchen with hobs, oven and microwave; all sorts of things were provided including eggs, bread, jam, milk, juice, tea, coffee. The location is quiet and peaceful and it's easy to come and go independently. I was only there for one night (after a wedding in Benenden village) but it would make a very nice base for a longer stay in the area.

Wonderful property in a relaxing location. Rachel was a lovely host. Would definitely recommend to other couples.

Beautiful quiet location with a countryside walk waiting for you at the end of their garden. Lovely host, great accommodation. Shower went cold for one of us, but that was the only thing we could fault the experience on. Would certainly my recommend this to anyone

Fantastic stay in a lovely property. Rachel was warm and welcoming and provided all we could have asked for. The property is in a beautiful part of the Kent countryside with some fantastic places to visit and some excellent pubs and restaurants (we can thoroughly recommend the Milk House) The property is really high quality, with a lovely little kitchen containing all you could ask for and a super comfy bed and sofa. Would thoroughly recommend.

Tastefully decorated, well kitted place to stay. Whilst you need a car to travel around, it was well located for easy access to many places and excellent pubs for a drink and food. Samantha was very accessible in order to help with queries and added the personal touches to greet us on our arrival. Lovely views lots of parking spaces, would recommend.

Sam's annex is a luxury retreat where you'll feel utterly relaxed. The log burner is a lovely cosy feature and the decor is beautifully styled and immaculate. The spacious kitchen means you can fully self cater; it's a home from home. Sam gave us a very warm welcome and we would love to return to this little romantic hideaway again soon!

Lovely. Quiet. Comfortable. Spacious. Great welcome.

Great little home in a beautiful part of England. Highly recommended.

We stayed two nights in Smantha's lovely cottage and had a wondeeful stay. The cottage was tastefully decorated, the kitchen was very well appointed and the bath was super just to soak in after a days walking. We'll definitely be coming back

A lovely home in the Kent countryside. We were made very welcome from the moment we pulled up outside. Sam showed us around, explained everything we needed to know and was there if we had any queries. The beds and sofas were comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. There were even some nice surprises like some milk, beer and a bottle of wine in the fridge! Lovely! We were able to borrow tennis racquets and balls and play tennis on the tennis court, or relax on the patio. The area is very quiet and we had some sheep as neighbours. A fabulous stay. Highly recommend it.

Brilliant hosts. Brilliant place. Newly done. Clean. Equipped with everything and more. Beautiful surroundings. Definitely stopping in again :) smiles all round :)

A great warm welcome from Samantha, with the personal touch, Samantha even greeted our son with a bag of sweets. A WOW property with so much to offer, great living area, open fire, high quality finish throughout, which extends to the high quality smaller things like linen, crockery and coffee maker all of which makes it feel like home from home. The area surrounding the property is beautiful and tranquil. We felt relaxed immediately and at home here. There is so much to do around the area and Samantha had gone to the trouble of finding out area's of interest to us before our arrival. Thank you for going the extra mile Samantha, we will definitely be passing your details onto our friends and family and have no hesitation in recommending this high quality property. We hope to stay with you in the future.

What a great place! Thank you Tony and Cyd for all your kindnesses, the extra wee things, super comfy bed, amazing bath and all round great weekend stay. We'll be back!

Fantastic! Every detail covered in this amazing loft. Absolutely luxurious! Delicious chutneys. Sissinghurst is very nearby and a wonderful place to visit. Tony & Cyd are very friendly and helpful

Tony and Cyd's accommodation is absolutely beautiful, and the perfect retreat for a night away. They have thought of everything - from a fresh loaf of bread and milk in the fridge to spare toothbrushes! They couldn't have been more helpful either, with suggestions for local walks and pubs. We could not recommend this place more and will certainly be back. Thank you Tony and Cyd!

Tony and Cyd's apartment is lovely! It's so well finished, neat, tidy and has everything you need. The amazing stand alone bath really tops off the flat. There is a lovely pub within walking distance that does great food as well. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this air b n b.

Lovely little venue with the added little touches to make it a home away from home. Will likely return in the future

Cyd and Tony have converted a small barn adjoining their home into a lovely self contained apartment, perfect for solo travellers and couples who wish to enjoy the Kent countryside. Inside, every home comfort is catered for in this cosy space from coffee and tea to a hair dryer and a good selection of bathing products. Their attention to detail is outstanding, particularly the good work done in the shower room with underfloor heating to wall sockets with a USB charger, something I had actually never seen before. A bath under the skylight is absolutely worth a go, and we'd like to thank Cyd and Tony for being excellent hosts and having us. We recommend Leeds Castle 20 minutes up the road for a trip of this sort and really appreciated the last minute booking! Thanks again

Lovely place to stay with some very nice touches. Tony and Cyd are very friendly.

Beautiful loft in a gorgeous location. Very lovingly and considerately decorated. Extremely thoughtful and accommodating hosts. Highly recommend!

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very comfortable room and accommodating hosts despite a rather late post-wedding check in! Highly recommended

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

This is great airbnb in a lovely area. Carole was welcoming and looked after us with serving us breakfast. Thanks!

Carole and Frank were the most welcoming and helpful people I have ever met on AirBnb. I arrived late and left their house early afternoon but Carole was very flexible and understanding which was greatly appreciated. The bedroom was really nice with a very comfy bed. Bathroom was impeccable! I highly recommend staying at their place!

Nous avons été très bien accueillies par Carole et son mari, tous deux très sympathiques et prévenants. Le village de Cranbrook comme ceux autour sont charmants. Excellente première nuit de notre British road trip, merci !

Anna and Richard made us feel so welcome, we had an amazing time. The bedroom was beautiful with an amazingly comfortable bed. Anna very kindly offered to pick us up from the local vineyard. We had an absolutely fabulous breakfast and enjoyed are time in Anna and Richard's house immensely.

Anna and Richard are so hospitable and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. It was the perfect location for our trip to Chapel Down - we were able to walk home on a public footpath (Richard had given us wellies) which took us approximately 1 hour. Richard kindly drove us there so that we could leave our car at home theirs. Breakfast was delicious in the morning. The room was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back. It is just off Tenterden high street so very easy to get to a wide range of restaurants in the evening.

Great hosts, convenient location and comfortable accommodations! Couldn't have asked for more in our first Airbnb experience. DON'T miss breakfast.

Thank you Anna and Richard for your wonderful hospitality. We had a lovely time. Breakfast was delicious.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage. Anna and Richard were incredibly welcoming and excellent hosts. We felt truly at home. Tenterden is a delightful town - we really enjoyed the wine tour at the local winery, and had a delicious meal at the swan.

Anna and Richard were fantastic hosts. They were so kind to us and made our stay really enjoyable. Our bedroom was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Anna's cooked breakfast was absolutely amazing - we were still talking about it on the way home! Anna and Richard were extremely hospitable; offering lifts to and from Chapel Down Winery and recommending nearby places to eat and drink in the evening. I could not rate them more highly, thank you so much again both of you. We had a lovely time!

A lovely place to stay and even lovelier hosts. The breakfast was epic! We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Richard and Anna were fantastic hosts who were able to advise on the local area - there are some great shops and pubs / restaurants in Tenterden and we will certainly return to the area. The room itself was a good size, very clean and well decorated. It honestly felt more like a boutique hotel than a B&B - thank you Anna for the wonderful biscuits! Breakfast was superb. All in all a very enjoyable stay! Thank you again

Clare is a fantastic host. She is friendly and extremely considerate. She went out of her way to offer advice, lifts and recommendations. You will not find a low jovial host. The room is extremely comfortable with a large but cosy bed and all essentials provided. The scenery is spectacular. We booked the room due to its proximity to Chapel Down where we were attending a wine tasting. It was the perfect location within walkable distance. Will most certainly visit again!

A peaceful, idyllic location great for recharging your batteries surrounded by fields and interesting historic places of interest. Clare and her family were especially welcoming and helpful. The room is stylish, comfortable and clean with the added bonus of a fridge plus tea and coffee making facilities which was more than expected. Already planning on booking again!

Clare was very friendly and an excellent host. I asked for an additional person to stay which was accommodated with no fuss, we were also able to get to the room before 12 due to having a tour with Chapel Down (which is a must and only a 20 minute walk from Clare's being the main reason for our stay). Overall would recommend Clare highly and meeting Batley made it an even more enjoyable stay.

We stayed with Clare when we attended an event at the Woolpack in Tenterden. It's a really beautiful spot and a lovely room. Clare provided everything from biscuits to toiletries, and she even looked after our dog when we went out! Breakfast was perfect - warm pastries, fruit and yogurt. It was a quick stopover but we'd love to return and spend a few days there. Highly recommended.

Our stay with Clare was absolutely marvellous! First off the setting and the area is stunning (which made getting a bit lost quite enjoyable) after speaking to Clare on the phone and getting directions we were so pleased to be met by such welcoming people and the room itself was amazing. So much space, beautiful decor and all the amenities you would need.. After having the best sleep in a huge(!!) bed we were greeted with a lovely continental breakfast (the room even had cafetière coffee she really had thought of everything). Can't thank Clare enough for our stay, and we highly recommend staying here you won't regret it!
