We recently booked this place for a family getaway with six adultsand honestly, it exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the instructions on how to get in were clear and simple, which was a relief. The house is nestled right in a stunning landscaped garden, offering lovely views of the surrounding farmland. It fits perfectly into the scenic setting. Inside, everything was done up in a lovely modern rustic style that really suited us. The space was spotless, well-equippedand perfect for our week-long stay. The open plan lounge, kitchenand dining area gave everyone enough room to relax comfortably. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and eating in. The bedrooms were spaciousand the beds were super comfy-each room even had its own TV, which was a nice touch. Our son, who stayed in the games room on a sofa bed, was hesitant at first because of his height (he's 6'2"), but he actually loved the room and found the bed very comfy. The games room got plenty of use, although I did bump my head a couple of times on the eaves! The hot tub was a real highlight-wood-fired and simple to operate. It's clear the owners put a lot of thought into making sure guests are comfortable, cleanand relaxed. The location is perfect for exploring local spots, including Ashford Designer Outlet and Tesco for supplies. If you're into walking or cycling, it's a great spot. We'd definitely recommend it to friends and family-really, a lovely little retreat!

The cottage is beautifully maintained, super cosyand well-equipped - we loved having the wood-burning stove, which made chilly evenings extra special. Cooking in the kitchen was a pleasureand the comfy sofa was perfect for unwinding with a movie after days spent exploring Tenterden and Rye. We did wish we'd booked longer because the surroundings are so relaxingand the quietness was just what we needed to recharge. The location is great for a peaceful escape, but still close enough to enjoy local sights. We've stayed in plenty of holiday homes over the years, but Moon Cottage definitely stands out for its quality and attention to detail. We're already planning our next visit - can't wait!
