Guest Reviews
- Dirk (9/5): Knus onderkomen in landelijke omgeving, mooi gelegen in Kent. - Debbie en Roger waren gastvrije eigenaren van ons onderkomen. Naast de dingen die wel zelf hadden bedacht, had Debbie ook nog verschillende tips, die ons weekend nog voller maakten. Istead Rise ligt mooi als uitgangpunt voor uitstapjes in Kent. Er is een COÖP in de buurt, die verse broodjes verkoopt. Ook wandelen in de directe omgeving is prachtig. Als we weer naar Kent gaan, komen we zeker weer hier naartoe. Ik zou het niet weten. Het onderkomen was compleet en rustig gelegen.

- Amanda (10/5): A great base for brands hatch great hosts and a great little annex - Perfect location Friendly hosts Accommodation has everything that’s needed
- Oliver (10/5): -
- Glynis (10/5): - Debbie and Roger are fantastic hosts. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and 20 minutes from Brands Hatch.
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional - Just what I needed to visit friends and relatives in the area, and have somewhere to relax afterwards Can't say there was anything I didn't like
- Helen (10/5): Hosts friendly and helpful - Location not wonderful but fine for our short stay. Nothing
- Lynne (8/5): A lovely welcome package on our arrival which was most appreciated! The hosts were very friendly and informative. Home f - It was fully functional and a convenient location for the purpose of our stay. The only criticism was that the bathroom shower enclosure was looking a bit tired and the toilet/basin could have been cleaner. A new set of cutlery in the kitchen area wouldn’t go amiss. Nobody likes to be critical, but if you don’t say, it won’t be addressed.
- Di (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, well equipped, comfy bed. All in all a fantastic stay
- Amanda (10/5): Excellent property lovely hosts - The annex had everything that we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Close to Brands Hatch Racing Circuit just perfect Debbie was a great host thank you
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohammed (10/5): Best place I've stayed for a long time - What a great place to stay. Everything was provided. The Hosts just could not do anymore. Definitely Home away from Home. Thank you Roger and Debbie. See you soon. Nothing to complain about.
- Kathleen (8/5): Lovely peaceful property in great location - Great location for accessing historic properties in the area, good road access. Very quiet area/property, Roger & Debbie greeted us on arrival and we knew they were there if we needed them but otherwise we had our privacy. They supplied, milk, juice & yoghourt and there was tea, coffee and other supplies in the cupboards. The bedroom was lovely and light and the price was very good. The description and photographs are accurate. Recommend visiting Chartwell and Hever Castle (about 30 mins drive) and Chatham Historic Dock (15 mins) where we spent entire day. There was nothing we didn't like but the property is a little compact for two people, although this is reflected in the price. Similarly, although we weren't missing anything we needed other properties have had more cutlery & crockery available.

- 은영 (10/5): Lovely hosts with the great room - Host couple, Roger and Debbie were incredibly helpful and kind to my parents ❤️ The room was awesome, Complete privacy, nothing to complain 😊
- Joanna (8/5): A relaxing and comfortable sanctuary after busy days out. - Very comfortable bed. Powerful shower. Great to have separate rooms for living and sleeping. Roger and Debbie were delightful hosts and made me very welcome. Location a short drive into Gravesend for trains to London. Very little- a few more drinking glasses and some hooks for coats would enhance an already comfortable stay.
- Marie (10/5): Exceptional - The warm friendly welcome from the hosts. The accommodation is extremely homely, very cosy and comfortable to live in. The hosts were very generous and had left some milk, juice, yoghurt as well coffee, tea and sugar. We needed a help with a couple of things and the hosts were so helpful and understanding. The accommodation is situated down a little lane that leads straight into the Kent countryside. Oh and a fabulous comfortable bed!
- Richard (9/5): Met all my requirements for short stay accomodation without the hassles involved with staying in hotels. - Clean, comfortable, good access to main roads, friendly host Nothing in particular
- Peter (9/5): I literally can’t fault the accommodation or how I was treated / supported. - I immediately felt at ease and relaxed once I got into the property. I felt safe and secure. The set up was very cosy. Not too small and cramped, not to big and lost. My hosts gave me exactly the right level of support. I can’t think of anything.
- Roslyn (8/5): It was fine with very helpful hosts. - The location was excellent. The sofa was very saggy and our backs suffered especially as we were there for 6 days. I also had expected direct access to the garden on the photos and that had been the main selling point for me. We were told we could use the garden at the top if we knocked and asked. I know the description didn't mention the garden but the photos implied it.
- Jon (10/5): A very comfortable, well equipped apartment in an excellent location with friendly hosts. - Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Comfortable bed. Very good shower. Nce touch to leave milk and some breakfast items.
- Victoria (10/5): Very good and comfortable - Excellent. It is a very pleasant place, well received by Roger And Debbie They assisted me with very good informations on the environment Neatness, well equipped facility,the kitchen was filled variety of cereal, biscuits, drinks and some necessary ingredients for a quick cooking. You can live there without necessary going out to eat ( there was some thing to eat
- Sandy (9/5): Good visit - Very clean. Nice area and good communication. Lovely shower. Compact apartment Nothing. Suggested to owners that a small freezer would be good just for icecreams
