“I wish I could've booked three weeks!!”
This was a great place for eight to stay, very close to many attractions and with excellent facilities. The owner and his wife are lovely people and were very friendly and helpful. It was wonderful watching bats and listening to owls in the back garden as dusk drew on with the kids looking for hedgehogs in the bushes. I really would like to make a return visit.
Owner's reply: Thanks guys - you're very kind. It was a pleasure to have you here and you're welcome back anytime - even if you did give us a fright on arrival!!
“Brilliant holiday location”
Perfect base for 2 families,totalling 8 people with beautiful garden, well equipped home, close to everywhere we needed to be
Owner's reply: You're very kind - it was a pleasure to have you stay
“Very Interesting break”
We were made to feel very welcome by the owners. We knew the property was quite old when we booked - it was lovely. Only had one problem - the front door internal bolt, very difficult to lock. Othe… More
Owner's reply: Thanks David - nice to have met you and the family. I'll check out the bolt.
“Convenient for exploring Kent - reasonable price.”
Smuggler's Rest and Moonrakers worked really well for us on our trip to Kent. We decided to rent the whole property quite late on but Ian was very accommodating. He and his wife were friendly an… More

Owner's reply: Your kind comments much appreciated - sorry the Kent weather rather let you down for the wedding
“Very good accomodation”
Smugglers rest is a very nice accomodation. There is a big garden which was nice for the children. The reception was very welcoming and relaxed.
Owner's reply: You're very kind - it was a pleasure to meet you. The weather was of course a help but then it's always lovely in Kent!
“Comfortable, friendly with all you could need”
Stayed for a week around my daughters wedding. Ian and his wife were friendly and helpful especially with service for taxis and hairdressers! The cottage is very comfortable and has all you could nee… More
Owner's reply: Many thanks for the review and I'm glad all went well for the wedding - even the weather in the end!
“Value for money for those who do not expect a lot of luxuof.”
For a decent price you get 4 large bedrooms, a large living/dining area and a reasonably sized kitchen. Three toilets to suit al the guests (we were a party of 6). The garden is also big enough for playing kids as well as resting parents. On the downsite: the interior is outdated, there is only 1 small shower (plus on the first Floor a bath, but without a shower), no dvd-player and no dishwasher.
Owner's reply: Thanks for the review which is basically factual. We wouldn't claim the place is luxurious and furnishings tend to be dictated by the fact that the place is a very old, listed building. We are unable to get a dishwasher in due to plumbing issues (and that's what men are for on holiday!) but have added a DVD player to the existing satellite TV, video and internet.
“wonderful!”
I had gone through much stress in finding a suitable property to host a birthday weekend for my partner. First of all, in regards to communication Ian was brilliant in responding quickly and was alway… More
Owner's reply: Thanks for the kind comments and for leaving the place in good nick - both greatly appreciated, We look forward to welcoming you back for another 'occasion' possibly with better weather!
“Lovely Cottage”
Very clean and beautiful cottage... Nice and calm place for short vacation. We was impressed by the service provided by the owner of this cottage. Very helpful and lovely person to talk. We really enj… More
Owner's reply: Thank you for your kind comments - trust the Channel crossing was quiet.
