Lovely, Lovely, place!

Vizzie West Yorkshire, England
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent a week at the Barn while our Daughter and family stayed in Twitchers. The grandchildren loved the place even though they are teenagers! It was wonderful waking up to the beauty and tranquility, the wildlife, the chickens and especially the ducklings! We made such good use of the pool, even our elderly relative with mobility restrictions spent many happy hours in it. We would all highly reccommend both properties. Will definately come back when we can. Thank you Pauline and John for very special holiday. Best Regards Veronica and family x

Back to nature in this beautifil comfortabel barn!

Suzanne, Sander and Tim Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Review Submitted: August 2, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed in the converted barn in June and it was lovely, one of our best holidays ever! The owner Pauline made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed the beautiful views over the field with cows and a couple of beautiful sunsets. And if you look the other way you see the pretty grounds/gardens of the property. Because of our 4 months old baby we were in and around the barn a lot but that was no punishment at all. We did do a couple of small walks in the area, all very pretty and typically English. And we loved the fact that everything we needed was within walking distance from our barn!

perfection!

Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We would recommand this beautiful place to everyone!
The barn is very comfortable, clean, cosy and well equipped, the surrounding is absolutely stunning (more impressing than you can see in the pictures). Hollingbourne is a charming pistoresque village where you can make long walks and enjoy nature. We could hardly believe we found this little paradise. There is no noise and you have a lot of privacy. Pauline is very nice, friendly and helpfull, bakes delicious cake and gave us great tips for trips to make (to Rye or Whitstable). We had a perfect and relaxing vacation here. Thank you!
