Family reunion

A lovely, well equipped cottage in the middle of beautiful countryside. We were able to catch up with our family with a bbq on the Friday evening - plenty of space for the 8 of us. Chris and Jo were very accommodating, and left us a very thoughtful welcome basket when we arrived. There are plenty of lovely places to visit nearby - Mayfield and Rye. As we were coming home for a visit from Seattle, the cottage was a brilliant place to remind us of the beauty of the English countryside.

Great family holiday

The Finches was a perfect setup for our family. 4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. The lovely setting and the layout of the property worked very well for us. We spent several days at the coast and Pevensey Castle, Wilderness Woods and Knockhatch were great days out. Mayfield is a lovely village and we had two nice meals at one of the pubs there. It was a very peaceful location and the owners are very friendly and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend a stay.

Excellent weekend stay

Chris and Jo made us feel very welcome, the property is clean and spacious. It was perfect for our weekend stay while attending a wedding nearby. We really enjoyed the sun in the back garden after being out all day, our one regret is we did not get a chance to try out the garden centre cafe. We will have to come back!

Garden Girls Trip

The property was lovely and having a Plant Nursery and tea room nearby was an extra bonus. The location was perfect for visiting Gardens in the area , which was the reason for our trip.

Beautiful cottage

We’ve enjoyed 5 days in the Finches, which is beautifully seated on the spacious premises of Chris and Jo. It is a clean and cosy cottage, completely equipped with all you need & more, with plenty of space inside and a nice private backyard. Under the roof of the tea house we’ve spend quite a few hours enjoying a good quality mini pool table. Chris and Jo are very friendly and helpful and we’d recommend this cottage to anyone who’s looking for a comfortable, good quality stay in a peaceful environment. Paul & Brigitte

90th Birthday Celebrations

We had a lovely time at Finches celebrating my mother-in-law’s 90th Birthday! We had huge gusts of wind and the rains came down but we were cosy and relaxed throughout! Will visit again especially to visit the tea rooms and the garden centre.

Wonderful quiet, relaxing location

We had a lovely stay at Finches whilst visiting family and friends in the area. The house was clean and well presented in a quiet location. We all enjoyed the welcome basket with fresh eggs, local jam and delicious cake. Chris and Jo are great hosts and quick to respond to queries.

Rundum wohlgefühlt

Wir, 2 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder, haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir bekamen ein Begrüßungskörbchen mit Honig.... Um den Hofladen zu erreichen, muss eine Viel befahrene Straße überquert werden. Der Laden hat alles, was man braucht sowie einige Geschenkartikel

Super property in an idyllic location ideal for a staycation or short break

We have just returned from this delightful property. We were on our way back from a driving holiday in France and we booked a 3 night break as a stop over on our return trip back to Yorkshire and what a super extension to our roadtrip it was. It's a charming place located among one of the most beautiful parts of the UK. It's position couldn't be better, tucked away down a country lane. The place is certainly full of character. Really welcoming and has plenty of space... We had 4 adults and a toddler. I'd certainly consider a return booking in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a rural getaway.

Stylish barn

The barn was very comfortable and clean a real home from home . Fantastic music system . Great location for many nearby attractions including Bewl water, Cuckoo Trail and Kent villages. Chris and Joe left a lovely tray of goodies including apple juice, eggs and home-made cakes . We were able to buy home-made lemon drizzle cakes to take home as gifts and one recipient said it was the best they had ever had !

A perfect cottage in great location

Chris and Jo have created the perfect place for a happy family break. The cottage had everything we needed was very comfortable, with lots for the children to do including a piano, air hockey and table tennis. It's set in a lovely quiet and beautiful area with lots of places to visit like Hever Castle, Bedgebury and Groombridge all quite close. The welcoming basket was so thoughtful with delicious homemade muffins and freshly laid eggs and the sweet peas were a lovely touch. All in all a lovely place to stay and we would highly recommend it.

Beautiful cottage in lovely grounds and great location too.

We have just had a really lovely stay at Finches. The cottage is spotlessly clean, stylishly and comfortably furnished, well equipped and is set within lovely and peaceful grounds. The welcome basket and produce were very thoughtful, and the homemade scones were delicious. Overall couldn't be better! Thank you to Chris and Jo for such a lovely stay.

This cottage made us feel happy

Fresh and tasteful interior , welcoming, friendly and discrete landlords, very good plumbing, nice setting, hugely comfortable living space with large table, loads of attention to details.. This was ideal for our small family reunion. The opposite of an effete and sad holliday rental, this cottage made us feel happy and well cared for. We recommend !
