Spent a peaceful and restful week here over Christmas. The cottage was cosy and delightful with lots of interesting nooks, crannies and details, and the large garden was beautiful; we watched many birds visiting the bird table while we had meals. It was great to be able to walk in the extensive and lovely grounds of Belmont Park directly from the front door. Nearby Faversham was a nice small town to visit. Small downsides; I think the kitchen would benefit from having a freezer (although not sure where it would go), and although we were mostly comfortable, we couldn't get the heating to turn up. Luckily it was quite mild, but, if it had been cold, it could have been a problem. Also, the property had not been decorated for Christmas which I had specifically enquired about some weeks before the holiday and had been assured it would be. However, I was directed to and found a Christmas tree and lights in a cupboard in the cottage, so that 'niggle' was solved. I've slightly marked down the 'value for money' rating, because the rental was (I think) over £200 pw more than the weeks before and after the Christmas and New Year weeks, but I realise this is 'standard procedure'! None of these small criticisms would put me off staying at the property again.

A lovely retreat,tastefully decorated. Ideal for nature lovers. Sitting in front of the fire during winter is a treat. We were sad to leave.

Lovely, magical place. We spent a happy week there. All the facilities were in perfect conditions, the house was warm and cosy, and it was a perfect base to explore the garden of England and then relax in confort. A great experience!!

Beautiful, private little cottage. Great for a romantic retreat and well located. Very comfortable and cosy. The ceilings are very low, owing to this being an old cottage, so anyone of above average height will need to watch their head!

Very nice cottage, rural place with a lot of privacy. Low beams in the kitchen wasn't good for me as I am a quite long person. Wifi should work better, that was slow. I have bought a LAN cable for a better connection but that didn't improve the slow WIFI. Over all very good stay for us.

Such a beautiful peaceful cottage in the countryside. We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather and enjoyed eating all our meals outdoors. A larger outdoor table would have made this even easier, but we loved the opportunity to eat surrounded by trees and birdsong, with the distant sounds of sheep and churchbells. It really was an idyllic spot and the cottage was clean and well-equipped with modern appliances.

Fantastic holiday cottage - small, cosy, and a wonderful lounge with log burner ideal for the winter. Kitchen with everything you could need (could just do with some prosecco and pint glasses) Bedroom comfortable with lovely bedding and towels. Shame we didn't get to use the extensive secluded beautiful gardens which we would love to return in the summer to do so. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants a quiet break away from it all. Can't walk to anywhere so need a car to get about. Nearest Pub is around 3 miles. Toilet/bathroom downstairs so quite a way from the bedroom upstairs if anyone has mobility issues. We will definitely return.

We loved the cottage & it’s remote location. Log fire was fab in the cold snowy days . Well equipped kitchen & everything well thought out & done to a high standard . Apart from .... Sofas a bit scruffy & really not at all comfortable & have seen better days , felt this let the place down a bit . Extremely noisy fan in the shower room was most irritating !!! A shower should be a relaxing thing , I felt as if I was getting ready for takeoff at Heathrow . & floor grout in parts & seams in shower panel walls a bit brown looking , it’s that attention to fine detail ! That makes all the difference when you are away from home for a treat . All Done very well in the rest of the cottage tho & I think we are v likely to come back again in the future . I would throughly reccomebd Walnut Cottage to anyone wanting , an away from it all break . The 8 instead of a 10 is just because of the uncomfortable sofas & the shower . Do the owners ever sit in these sofas years on & check them out ? Perhaps they should at least once a year ?

Everyone I dealt with were very helpful and very efficient. The cottage was in a wonderful location and the standard of accommodation was first class. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped with high standard bedding and towels. Only one problem, we could not get a signal with the television but it was good to be without it for a week! It could be improved with more crockery and cutlery to conserve energy by not putting the dishwasher on so regularly.

Die Buchung war komfortabel, die Wwegbeschreibung sehr hilfreich. Das Willkomenspaket war sehr angenehm. Dieses spezielle Cottage hat einen besonderen Charme und wir haben es sehr genossen, Zeit im Garten zu verbringen. Für warme Sommernächte wäre ein Ventilator in den Schlafräumen zu empfehlen. Unbedingt den Cream Tea in Belmont House genießen und den dortigen Garten besuchen. Eine sehr gepflegte Anlage.

Great service from start to finish. Everyone was helpful, polite and prompt. Loved it...everything was perfect from the directions through to the ‘welcome note’ and pack. The cottage itself was so well stocked with everything! Loved having to collect the logs from the cabin. The open fire was wonderful. Bed was comfy too....

We booked at very short notice and received quick and competent response. Staff was friendly and helpful. Description of cottage was adequate and accurate. Very lovely old Kentish cottage in the countryside with modern amenities - though, the beam in the kitchen was sometimes encroaching when we forgot that it was there (about 1.78m low) and the faucets at the bathroom sink are typical English: hot and warm water comes out separately - a slight miscomfort (in winter). Inspite of adverse wintery weather it was very warm and cosy inside (must be a dream in summer when the vegetation comes alive). We had a very enjoyable short break there and recommend it to anyone who loves a quiet, romantic retreat.

Unfortunately there were some shortcomings in communication and appropriate charges. However these were resolved quickly and Mulberry waived their booking fee in respect of this. The cottage was very comfortable and well provided, the grounds were pleasant even though we had snow and heavy frost. Indoors was nice and warm. A small selection of edible items were provided which were of good quality and a delight to receive. There is a wood-burning stove which with the free logs was a delight to fend of the chilly outside weather. We found the bed to be very comfortable. For the taller people amongst us this property does have low beams which at times do attempt to attack but as long as you keep your eyes open your safe. If you are less mobile do ask about access as it is a very old cottage with some irregular steps. Belmont House is just across the road and the grounds are lovely, various activities are available at times and a private Clock & watch collection thought to be one of the finest outside of national museums. Do check to see what’s on.

Ik vond de manier waarop Mulberry Cottages’s service het verblijf in de Walnut Tree Cottage heeft mogelijk gemaakt, alles overziend goed. In de aanloop waren er enkele problemen ontstaan, maar die zijn goed, snel en vooral professioneel opgelost. Daarmee heeft de organisatie aangetoond te staan voor wat ze zeggen. Een fantastische cottage, mooie oude kenmerken en sfeervol ingericht. Dat de gemiddelde, mannelijke Nederlander de kans loopt zijn hoofd te stoten aan de balken, is te vergeven.

Vorig jaar boekte ik ook bij Mulberry, en doordat ik de borg via een cheque moest terug krijgen, had ik daar kosten aan. Zodoende kreeg ik niet mijn volledige betaalde borgsom terug. Toen ik dat bij deze nieuwe boeking ter sprake bracht, hoefde ik deze keer geen borg en ook geen reserveringskosten te betalen. Dat vond ik heel erg netjes! Prachtige cottage met schitterende grote tuin. Wel dient vermeld te worden dat de cottage minder geschikt is voor langere mensen. Mijn vrouw, 1.78 m lang, stootte meerdere malen hard haar hoofd.

Helpful instructions for finding a remote spot. Very efficient service. A delightful, well-equipped cottage and lovely garden. Service from the Belmont Estate and free entry to house and gardens an added bonus, as well as being very friendly people.
