    The wifi was not reliable, but our host did here best to get it to work. Rose Cottage is a bit out of the way, and internet service is sketchy. The road to the cottage is a 3/4 mile long single lane dirt road with many potholes.

    Part of the ground floor was taken up by a garage, but there was a very nice living room and kitchen. There were two bedrooms upstairs. The stairs were a bit dicey - another hand rail on the open side would be nice. The bedrooms were a decent size, as they took up the entire first floor above the garage. The views to the Rother River were outstanding. And there were ponies and a donkey to feed carrots to.

    such a beautiful, peaceful location with lovely private terrace & fabulous views for miles. We visited the week before christmas and the cottage was warm and really welcoming . Very clean, bright with oodles of charm ... it has everything we needed. Thank you Lynda also for the most wonderful cheese scones and your welcoming, friendly manner.

    a safe haven during the storm

    We were in Rose cottage during the storm and had quite an eventful time there. Due to the storm there was a powercut that lasted more than 30 hours! But our landlady Lynda did all she could to make our stay agreeable. She brought us a gas stove so that we could make some tea, torches, candles, etc. She dried our clothes and shoes as she had a wood stove in her own house. We feel that if a landlady shows so much concern for her guests, she is worth a 10 and more!

    A very serene stay...

    The only thing to watch out for is the stairs. As with any old house, it's steep, and there are no handrails all along. However, my 81-year-old mom had no problems, but you still have to stand on your own two feet to use these stairs.

    As another visitor wrote, the photos don't do Rose Cottage justice. It is a magical place. The house is cute and comfortable. The beds are good, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We are greeted with delicious homemade scones. But what really makes Rose Cottage unique is the fact that it's surrounded by fields, with no neighbors, and that we can go and say hello to the animals - a lovely donkey and horses (shetland horses?). You feel amid a comforting and profoundly beneficial nature. We stayed for two nights but could definitely return for longer. In any case, it's our place of choice if we're in Kent. From Rose Cottage, it's easy to explore the region and visit Rye, Sissinghurst, Bodiam Castle, etc.

    What a great place! The cottage has everything you wish for - and more! (Like a bath!) But we especially loved the views; they’re even better than on the pictures. And our dog loved exploring the land with the horses and donkey. Lynda is a great host and we can recommend her beautiful Rose Cottage!

    Rose Cottage is a beautiful place with idyllic scenery a great host in Lynda and a clean and comfortable place to stay. I stayed with my mum and my best friend and we didn't leave to go anywhere (although there's plenty around with Rye on the doorstep), we just wanted a place to relax and chat - and it was perfect. The donkey George and his miniature pony friends were gorgeous- take as many carrots as you can carry to feed them and they'll love you for it.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Rose Cottage was so lovely and in a stunning location. My friend and I enjoyed staying there and will definitely book to go again. Lynda was very welcoming and it was nice to arrive to some freshly baked scones. By far the best I have ever tasted. Thanks Lynda for making our stay so enjoyable.
