The Hen House

Excellent venue, friendly host. Tip: Some info about the region including walking maps would be handsome.

An excellent cottage that met all our needs as we visited family in Kent. Well equipped and clean, warm and quiet. We will be back.

Lovely break at the hen house. A blind on the kitchen window and velux window in bathroom would be helpful otherwise delightful.

The equipment and furnishings were of exceptional standard; there was nothing I required that wasn't there to be found. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom has to be seen to be believed. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. The only drawback was the stairs - there is insufficient handrailing and the surface was quite slippery, rubber soles need to be worn for safety.

Perfect place to stay, very comfortable with everything you need to self cater. We were made very welcome by the owners, highly recommended. Thank you.

Clean and comfortable property, owners on-site and helpful, outside eating area, building comprised two other adjoining properties, slight drawback of location is it's over a mile to the nearest village down a steep hill along a road without a pavement so walking there is not practical.

A very peaceful spot in a well equipped cottage. (apart from odd omissions like no frying pan??) We had thought the local village would be a nice walk away as its only about 1 mile but in fact the walk would have had to be down a narrow and busy road so that was disappointing. The local roads nearest to the property are actually very narrow and some are in a parlous state of repair so you tend to have to resort to M20 etc to get out and about. There was also a complete absence of any information about local walks or maps in the cottage though there was information about local attractions. On the whole an enjoyable week though and the accommodation was comfortable. The adjacent property may also be let at the same time which means if you want to enjoy the garden then you are very close to your neighbours.

We visited the hen house after a last minute cancellation from another property. Lesley had made sure that all was ready for arrival despite being given very little notice! The hen house is a beautifully converted property, where every effort has been taken to make visitors as comfortable as possible. Immaculately clean, and containing up to date appliances, thoughtfully furnished throughout, and all to a very high standard. In a quiet countryside position, yet only a few moments drive from the pretty vlllage Of Lenham, with shops, cafes and pubs. All in all, a highly recommended property, and a nice welcome gift as well!

We had a lovely few days in Kent. The Hen House was very nearly perfect- very clean, very comfortable, warm, well equipped including butter, eggs, bread and cheese provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and I would fully recommend a visit. My only issue which is totally unimportant is that I couldn’t find a frying pan. But the fact that I only realised this on the final morning demonstrates how inconsequential it was. Plus, the cottage was so carefully stocked with nice equipment and plenty of useful things like tea towels and cloths etc I actually think there probably was a frying pan and I just didn’t look properly.

Rural - which we wanted. Generously warm. Very clean. Good quality fittings and ideal size - didn't feel cramped

A cosy, peaceful cottage, beautifully fitted out and well equipped and with helpful hosts.

We received a warm welcome from the owner who had very kindly provided us with a few locally sourced products including milk, cheese and butter. The cottage was warm and spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable, the shower was excellent and there was ample storage. The cottage was well kitted out without being cluttered. The WiFi was satisfactory and the TV was very good. Use of the adjacent field to exercise our dog was an additional bonus.

A friendly welcome from our hosts. The cottage was clean and fitted out to a high standard. We specially appreciated the comfortable bed ,the Robert Welsh cutelry and the delicious food we were given on arrival. If we go to Kent in a cottage again we would definitely book The Hen House.
