Mr Falkner
Property booked for a family trip. 6 people in total all adult. On arrival we were left easy to follow instructions on how to enter the property. Property entered via a beautifully landscaped garden with views of farmers fields. The house sat perfectly within the scenic environment. The house itself was ideal for our family and exceeded expectations. The decoration was very apt for a modern rustic feel. The house was spotlessly clean and well kitted out for a weeks stay. There was plenty of room for the whole family to relax in the open planned lounge/kitchen diner. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and dining. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds extremely comfortable. Each room also housing a TV. Our son stayed in the games room on a bed/sofa which I was concerned about pre arrival but he loved the room and the bed. My concern was his height, 6”2 but he was very comfortable. The games room was well used although I did hit my head a few times on the eaves! The hot tub was wood fired and easy to use. The owners have obviously had comfort, cleanliness and relaxation in mind. No stone has been left unturned, they’ve carefully thought about everything for a wonderful stay. The location is ideal for visits to local areas of interest. Ashford designer area is also quite close. Tesco is also close for food stops. If you enjoy walking and cycling it’s an idea spot. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

We have just had a glorious week at Moon Cottage. It very much lived up to our expectations in terms of comfort and facilities. The location was fantastic with a wonderful countryside view and spectacular sunsets. The welcome goodies left by Ian and Louise were most welcome, particularly the salted toffee, yum!! We would thoroughly recommend the Ewe and Lamb pub at Rolvenden Layne, Cranbrook. Great food, atmosphere and staff and only a 5 minute drive away. We also visited the Print Room at Tenterden and the Globe Marsh Inn in Rye. Both really good and dog friendly.
