If you’re reading this review and considering making a reservation, stop scrolling, don’t bother looking at other properties and just book Painters Forstal. The house has been there for 478 years at time of writing this and on our trip here we’ve created more life long family memories that add to this incredible historic and amazing home. Thank you Les for being an amazing host and for Karen and Simon for all your support. Together you make what AirBnB experiences are all about.

Beautiful accommodation in lovely grounds with everything you need to host a group celebration. The decor is fabulous!

Back from a fabulous weekend at this beautiful, quirky, country farmhouse. I booked it to gather with friends & family for a special birthday & it exceeded our expectations. Bursting with character, we loved the way the house is dressed, a lovely mix of old & new. It was extremely well equipped & the welcome basket was a nice added touch. The bedrooms were all nicely decorated & the unusual layout didn’t cause any problems for us. Our only issue was the main hub of the house was chilly & we couldn’t seem to get the heating to work properly but that said it was unusually cold temperatures during our January stay and the lounge room & bedrooms were nicely heated by electric heaters. We enjoyed a nice walk around the church next door, the famous yew tree is well worth a visit. We would definitely return, maybe for a summer retreat next time & make use of the lovely garden.

Absolutely loved the stay! Sarah and Reuben are fantastic, professional hosts; Sarah was swift and helpful with responses on any queries we had during our stay, and Reuben helpfully prepared some extra firewood for the pizza oven, as the logs we had were on the larger side. Everywhere was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was perfectly private and idyllic, with supermarkets only a 10 minute drive away. Of course, no review would be complete without mentioning the amazing hot tub - a wonderful, relaxing experience! We would highly recommend staying at their lovely property!

Sarah was an Amazing host and I couldn't have asked for a better host or a more wonderful house. Sarah's home was stunning and was so lovely to be near a wonderful big park.

Staying second time with my friends in this beatiful house. Everything was perfect. One new find is lovely animal farm in 10 minutes by car from the house with cute wallabies!

We had a lovely stay at Barbara's place, tucked away in the Sussex countryside. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed - the hot tub was a real bonus and meant we could enjoy the outside space, despite the weather not being on our side! The place was easy to find, communication was great and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cosy getaway ✨

Simply wow - incredible weekend at Brian's! Brian was wonderful with communication, flexible and super responsive. The place itself is delightful - had the natural wood hottub ready to go when we arrived, a lovely sitting room for red wine and a fire for after. It was extremely quiet and private. Mornings were spent in the bath and relaxing in the conservatory, eating fresh baked from Brian and overlooking the lovely garden. We had an incredible stay and cant thank Brian/Ingrid enough - we'll def be back - thoroughly recommend!!

Had the bestest serene birthday! So happy to find Jasper’s place. The accommodation is exactly what is posted online. Stunning sea views in the morning 🥰🥰🥰 Jasper is so ever helpful and responsive. We had the best quiet time just admiring all the interiors and the view of the house. I would love to gate keep this little nook we found but it deserves a spotlight. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this little space. I'd taken myself away for a couple of nights me time and meeting old friends. Zoe was great, she let me use the driveway but the road looked to have good parking. The space was quirky and fun it even comes with a record player and a great selection of records. I'll definitely be returning. Thank you Zoe.

lovely and peaceful. great pub 1km away and an off licence, petrol station. for anything else you will need to drive. remoteness is a reason to take this property. comfortable bed. Nice accommodation but if you're tall the ceiling slants so the shower might be a problem. the WiFi is patchy.

We had a wonderful stay at this stunning St Leonard's house! Marsha was a warm and responsive host, and her place is so spacious and filled with light. Everything was spotless and we had all that we needed. Would highly recommend!

Can’t really fault it. Was as described, spotless clean, easy to find and very easy walk to the things we wanted to see in Dungeness. The pilot inn gave us an outstanding meal both nights, and overall it was a good value, clean, modern and (mostly quiet - except for the odd early morning truck) peaceful. Cant say we’ll stay again as we have now seen dinginess, but anyone wanting to visit the area for walking or having a look around this is a great place to stop a night or few.

We had a wonderful stay at Renata‘s home. The house is very beautiful, comfy and we felt at home. Really comfy beds and a great terrace. The location was perfect for us, close to Broadway Market, Columbia Road and a lot of pubs and cafes. Renata was a super friendly and helpful host! We highly recommend staying at her home. Thank you, Renata :)

Very comfortable, clean, cosy apartment, very tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed for our brief stay, communication with Julia was excellent, and we will certainly book again when we are in the area.

We had a wonderful weekend at Craig and Imogen’s home. It is modern, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. Everything you need is supplied, and the board games were a brilliant touch. It’s in a great location a short walk from the beach and Margate old town. Thank you Craig & Imogen for a great stay. We will return!

We had a great stay. The cabin is in an incredibly peaceful location. Our kids loved the field, trampoline, swing and the heated pool. Just right for a few days’ break from city life!

Look…. It’s just great end of. All I can say is there is No WiFi and the signal inside is not great however outside signal is great. The outside bath is epic! The option to have a fire is great. Mega cozy, great to just have some you time! Oh and donkeys…. Yeah I wasn’t ready to see them as I walked to the place haha! Top tier accommodation!

The cabin was really lovely and peaceful and nice and warm with the log burner. There is an outside picnic table but we wish we had taken cosy camping chairs for late night star gazing and maybe an extra blanket or two. We also booked dinner at The Pig on one of the nights which is just a ten minute drive away. We loved the cabin and will definitely be back. Thanks Tom!

I had a wonderful stay at this lovely shepherd’s hut! The hut itself was modern, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable getaway. The host went the extra mile by leaving us a welcome bottle of champagne, which was such a thoughtful touch. Throughout our stay, they were incredibly kind, responsive, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The peaceful countryside setting was perfect for a relaxing weekend away. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cosy retreat. I’ll definitely be back!

We had a really lovely stay. Although we was in the back garden essentially, we couldn’t have received more privacy from the owners. Alyson was very helpful and provided us with a lot of insight as to what activities were around and near by. Would stay again 100%

We loved our stay at Honeywood cabins! The cabin was perfectly clean with lovely touches such as a cake and fresh milk on arrival. Check in was easy and the local town of Maldon is definitely worth a visit.

We loved our stay at Pancake Lodge, beautiful views, immaculate lodge, hot tub was a very good quality one, outdoor dining area was unique and creatively made, all amenities needed and clear communication throughout. Kari also was kind enough to add a birthday banner for us before arrival and helped plan for a later check in putting on some lights warmth etc. Very thoughtful extra touches were appreciated. Would highly recommend and will return.

Lovely stay, Christopher was a fabulous host
