“We needed somewhere to stay while the purchase of our new house was completing & Granary Cottage was perfect!”

The cottage is immaculate & everything has been really well thought out. The kitchen is compact but well designed, so it’s easy to cook proper meals, & all the equipment you need is there. We’ve had a lovely stay & would happily recommend Granary Cottage.

Robert July 2024

“We would have given 5 but the shower would go cold after running for a few minutes, which meant the shower had to be turned on and off a few times.”

Apart from the above, which was a minor problem, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is superb for visiting many of the coastal resorts, and National Trust places. We would definitely stay again.

Clare May 2024

“Granary cottage was perfect for our needs.”

It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owners are very pleasant and helpful and had left a welcome selection of fresh fruit and chocolates on our arrival. The open plan kitchen and living area was nicely decorated, light and airy and had everything we needed. The upstairs bedroom was also very pretty with a comfortable bed and nice en-suite bathroom. Outside is a secluded private seating area with walled terrace surrounded by roses and pretty shrubs. We can’t think of anything negative to say and would definitely stay again if we visit that area.

“This has to be the best managed holiday cottage that we have had the pleasure to use.”

Everything worked as advertised (well maintained). Usability was very good, comfort was excellent and the cottage is in a good location. The host were extremely helpful and very quickly managed any issue no matter how small. The "user manual" had every thing that could possibly be needed. Just for future reference... the GPS co-ordinates for the driveway are:- 51.085360, 0.283636

- Robert, November 2022

Muriel December 2021

“A private pathway leads up to this pretty cottage which is located in the owner’s grounds.”

Parking is secure. The cosy lounge area is the perfect place to curl up on the sofa after a busy day exploring the area. The kitchen is equipped with an oven and hob, fridge and washing machine. The bedroom offers a sumptuous king-size bed with excellent quality bed linen. A congenial place to relax or explore the outstanding county of Kent. Although we did not meet the owners, they made us feel very welcome. Thank you.

John September 2020

“Very high spec facilities, good kitchen ,excellent bed and all impeccably decorated.”

The cottage is in a walled and automatically gated private space. A very busy, noisy B class road is close by. The cottage is double glazed but when we opened the bedroom window at night the traffic was disturbing. We assumed that, as for last Sykes site, 'cottage' implied direct access to the countryside and the many local walks, But the local verges had no pedestrian access, we had to drive to reach any walks and found few parking areas. Our own usable outdoor space was a brick floored circle (as the site images show), but we felt uncomfortably confined. Visitors set on sightseeing might have felt differently.

Orlando October 2019

“The cottage is perfect for a couple wanting a quiet time in the country with easy access to many of the pleasures and sites of the region.”

We specially enjoyed visiting several houses and gardens, including Sissinghurst, Bateman’s, Bodiam Castle, Penshurst and Standen House - all in easy range and interesting in their different ways. Wadhurst provides all the shopping we needed and we enjoyed a good Indian meal there and at a pub in Frant. In short, our week in the cottage was grand and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the kinds of things I’ve mentioned.

Paul September 2019

“We had a very pleasant comfortable week at Granary Cottage.”

The cottage was very clean and well equipped and our privacy was respected. Sitting in the pretty courtyard was lovely with the added bonus of beautiful weather all week! I would like to add that although once you are through the gates to the property it is quiet and private, it is on a busy road which you can hear late at night and early morning especially when upstairs. But we had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend.

- Paul, September 2019
Margaret September 2019

“This is a lovely comfortable, clean cottage in a great location for exploring.”

There are lots of National Trust castles and gardens in an easy distance. Also good for visiting Brighton and Eastbourne.

Ashleigh April 2019

“Had a wonderful time visiting gardens in the South East, and this was a wonderful home away from home to come back to!”

It was light and airy, with a beautiful place to sit in the evenings! All needs were catered for and Clare was very helpful in all regards, kind enough to let me play with their adrable dogs as well. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

- Ashleigh, April 2019
Gillian January 2019

“Delightful location And convenient proximity to choice of train stations for visits further afield.”

Well positioned for visits to Wadhurst, Frant and Tunbridge Wells and numerous other tourist destinations. Helpful and friendly host and tastefully presented and appointed property.

Geoff September 2018

“We booked this cottage for two weeks as part of our UK holiday.”

It was a comfortable, coy place to relax after a day of visiting Sissinghurst and many other Sussex and Kent historical sights. It is completely self contained and has everything you need even if you want to cook, which we did not. The owner was available, if needed, but you have total privacy. Sitting in the beautiful courtyard was a joy. Highly recommended by My Wife and I.

- Geoff, September 2018

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“Granary Cottage was a wonderful place to stay.”

Well located in a quiet rural setting close to amenities and Tunbridge Wells. The cottage was very well presented, warm, cosy and comfortable. Clare has thought of everything and equipped the cottage with everything you might need especially for those who like to cook. The little extras such as the fruit and lovely biscuits were very welcome. We have stayed in many cottages throughout the world over the years and this rates as one of the best - well done Clare.

“My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Granary Cottage for 3 weeks whilst we were in-between moving houses.”

The cottage is in a perfect location, close to amenities but far enough out to feel rural. Clare the owner has done a fantastic job of ensuring the cottage is equipped with everything you need, from a garlic crusher to a clothes airer should you feel the need to do some washing on your break! The cottage has been decorated to a high standard and is clean and fresh and promotes a relaxing environment for a great break away. Thoroughly recommend this as a fantastic place to stay in a great location!

“Our stay at Granary Cottage was amazing and really felt like 'our home'.”

The cottage is located away from Clare's (the owner) house and privacy was respected at all times. The cottage is furnished to a very high spec and is very comfortable. We have recommended Granary Cottage to friends and will definitely come back in future.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“My wife's and my stay at Granary Cottage was excellent.”

Excellent accommodation, well equipped and perfectly located for enjoyable pub meals (too many to choose from during our three-night stay), walks and trips to various National Trust places-of-interest (Bodiam Castle, Batemans, Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst Castle, etc.) and just relaxing in a highly relaxing environment. Lovely cottage with everything we needed plus a very nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived! Will be returning - highly recommended.

“We stayed here for a week and found the cottage to be very comfortable and well positioned.”

It is well placed for visiting a variety of National Trust properties and is only minutes from Tunbridge Wells. Although not really within walking distance, there was a decent pub in Frant. This is definitely a place to recommend.

“This is such a lovely cottage.”

We loved it so much we really didn't want to leave! Everything is top-notch, very clean, cozy, warm, the shower is great and everything works wonderfully. The owners Clare and Jeremy and their children are very kind and generous people. We didn't have a car so Clare helped us buy groceries before we arrived and offered to give us lift to town. Thank you Clare for such a wonderful wonderful stay.

About the location

ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS

Lamberhurst 7 miles; Hever 9 miles; Maidstone 15 miles; Rochester 18 miles.

Royal Tunbridge Wells has been a popular place to visit for over 400 years, ever since a natural spring, known as The Chalybeate Spring, was unearthed by chance by a young nobleman. Due to the discovery of these health-giving waters, Royal Tunbridge Wells quickly became a magnet to those looking to improve their well-being whilst enjoying the beautiful surrounding countryside. The Wells are still open from Easter to September, where a costumed ‘dipper’ will serve you a glass for a small charge. With a wealth of interesting history to discover, this spa town now offers a vibrant, bustling destination with shops, restaurants, bars, bistros and theatres surrounded by woodland and greenery. You only have to spend a day walking the cobbled streets, browsing the boutiques and mulling over the items to be found in any of the curio or antiques shops, tucked away in the side streets, to see why this ancient town is one of the most visited in Kent. Enjoy a coffee and slice of cake in one of the plentiful pavement cafes as you relax, before taking in a play or concert at the one of the three theatres. This lively town offers everything from shops to cycle paths, pubs to parks, museums and historic houses, theatres, restaurants and walking routes into the country, so whether you’re looking for a romantic weekend or a longer holiday exploring the historic towns and villages of Kent, then you’ve found the perfect spot.
