Just a little note to say Thank you for the lovely time we had at the Hayloft.
The cottage is superb, of the highest quality in fact the best we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in quite a few 5* properties over the years. It takes a lot of hard work to maintain it to that standard so really well done.
We hope to come back in the not too distant future. Thank you very much for the wine by the way. Best wishes.

This house was fantastic. It was like home from home.Our party consisted of two children under the age of 4. There was so much to do inside and outside of the property. The log fire came into good use!! We've already re-booked the house again!!

Dear Richard and Lindsay
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your truly fantastic house in such a wonderful location. We've all had a great Christmas and New year catching up with our family and friends, and considering I booked the Hayloft a year ago for our Christmas trip home, it was worth the wait!
Thanks for your warm welcome, the flowers were lovely and as we head back to Dubai we will tell our friends of the Hayloft and the exceptional accommodation. We hope to see you in the future, in the meantime we wish you both a very happy, healthy and prosperous new year. Thank you x x x
December 2012 - New Year period
What a gorgeous home away from home the Hayloft is! The perfect English Cottage, adorable, made all the better by having the Christmas tree and decorations up. If only we had time to stay longer. Loved the little touches, everything was thought of, such as the Christmas mince tarts, wine and bread. Will recommend to all. Thank you so much.
December 2012
Quite simply the very best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in - by far.
December 2012
Great stay once again and given that we are girls who like our comforts, this place really hits the spot. We had a lovely few hours out in Whistable but mostly we just chilled, chatted and feasted. (Oh and drank some wine!) We will be back again next year as we've not found anywhere to match this for a girlie break. Many thanks x x
November 2012
Wow! What an amazing barn - we have all had the best birthday weekend ever. We would love to come back here it is all perfect, as well as the location, and Billy is just the most beautiful horse. Can't put into words how great this place is. This birthday girl has had a fantastic weekend.

Dear Richard & Lindsay
Your lovely cottage was both very comfortable and most enjoyable. The surrounding area was truly magnificent. My grandchildren even managed a day at the Beach in Broadstairs. The fish and meat in the area was fresh and tasty and was put to the test on your barbeque-- Delicious!!!
Thanks again.

There was once a young couple from Kent Who put up a hayloft for rent. From our point of view What a great thing to do We think Lindsey’s a lady and Richard’s a gent. So we came from Derbyshire one, two three For a week of southern sunshine and sea. Imagine our surprise thought we’d won first prize When you prepared the place so beautifully. So we’ve got this questionnaire now. Asking us why and what and how. What can we say? About our holiday. The only word that comes to mind is ‘Wow’.

A delightful extended stay in your beautifully appointed barn. We appreciated all the attention to detail and consideration you made to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Without doubt the finest holiday cottage in England.

A really clean, comfortable and homely place to stay. The whole barn layout is perfect and well designed. We loved the location, excellent for days out with the children. We would love to come back again. Many thanks for your generous hospitality and kindness. We have some lovely memories of Dymchurch Steam Railway and Canterbury Cathedral to take home.

Fully deserves the 5-star rating from 'Visit England'. We cannot recollect a self-catering establishment to equal The Hayloft. Thank you!
Mr and Mrs B West Sussex 7 August 2010
Thank you for your cordial welcome and your helpfulness throughout the whole week we spent at the wonderful 'Hayloft' at Chislet. The house is the best holiday house we ever had; an architectural highlight with nothing left to improve, as well the equipment was perfect. We'll recommend your house without any reservation and hope to come back in time.
Drs K & E W. Germany 24 July 2010
What a wonderful 5 star experience The Hayloft has been! We have enjoyed our time here very much and the warmth of both the house and our lovely hosts has been perfect. We have enjoyed our days riding at the Burstead Manor riding school (highly recommend) and our afternoons exploring this beautiful countryside. We are sad our break is over and hope to return once again to this wonderful architectural marvel and the beautiful area. Thank you so much.
Mr and Mrs A. France 16.5.2010
What a gem! A truly wonderful place! I would highly recommend this beautifully appointed cottage surrounded by unspoiled countryside. Visits to Canterbury and Whitstable are a must!
Thank you to the owners for their welcome and the thought they have put into converting this property.

The owners are quite delightful which makes for a very relaxed holiday. Also great praise to the staff at Mulberry Cottages - a big thank you.
Mrs J.A 30.4.2010
Thanks for giving us a very special experience of our first visit to Kent. The house has got everything to feel comfortable. The surroundings, the fields, the scenery, the sea and the cliffs. We could have stayed much longer but duty is calling. We will definitely consider a re-visit and recommend The Hayloft to our friends. Thank you again.
Mr. G.K, NL 1.5.2010
Thank you so much - the house and contents plus your thoughtfulness will make this holiday home one that we will wish to visit again. Lots of luck and happiness to you both.
Mr and Mrs S.H, Hampshire 30.4.2010
A very enjoyable week made even better by the sunshine. Thank you for the welcome pack of goodies. We found everything very comfortable, especially the 'L' shaped sofa and the overall warmth of the building. We would recommend a visit to Walmer Castle, lunch at The Duke William at Ickham, Whitstable, St Margaret's Bay and walk over the cliffs.
Mr and Mrs K.B Gosport 23.4.2010
Wow! What an absolutely stunning place to holiday from. We have thoroughly enjoyed our week and feel so lucky to have 'christened' your beautiful holiday house.
