  Total disaster!

  This B & B states check-in time to be 8pm. On my booking form I said I might be late due to Bank Holiday traffic. Also as I drive a French car I can't use the Dartford Crossing & am forced to use the Blackwall Tunnel as I was coming from Norfolk. My satnav took me to Brabourne by 8.45pm & I asked in pub if anyone knew where I could find this B & B. No-one knew but the pub landlady phoned for me & got no answer! I then spent the next 1 1/2 hours trying to find it & made several phone calls on their landline & mobile & all I got was the answering machine. When I finally located it it was all in darkness! Eventually I was forced to spend the night in the Premier Inn at Folkestone. When I finally managed to contact them, they refused to offer a refund as I was not able to check in before they went to bed at 8.30pm!! I haven't gone to bed at this time since I was a child. The impression I got was that they were doing me a favour by accomodating me but only on their conditions!

  Perfect after a long day in the field

  I travel far and wide inspecting trees and have stayed in some pretty average and some pretty awful places. Bircholt Cottage was great, very comfortable and a great breakfast which set me up for another day in the field. So thank you for looking after me so well

  Beautiful Cottage but note - cash only!

  Got off on the wrong foot because it hadn't been made clear to me that this B&B is cash only. This caused problems for me and I didn't really feel the owners were very sympathetic. I was told it was clear from their website if I checked but I did check and it wasn't - in fact it seems that you can pay by card, so was confused about this! Putting this aside, this is a lovely cottage and very clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and I had a good choice of tea and coffee (proper coffee!) in my room which I liked. It's in a bit of an isolated spot and can be tricky to find at night - my satnav took me to a house further down the track, but I got there eventually. It's very peaceful and nice to wake up and look out over the fields, my favourite thing was the rabbit on the lawn outside each day when I opened the curtains! I usually go for an en-suite so did find it a bit weird to get up and use the shared bathroom at night, partly because being an old cottage, the doors and floorboards could be creaky so you can't creep around silently! The only issue was after the awkward start I didn't feel massively welcome in the house and this was compounded by a sign in the bathroom saying; 'I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either'! Bit of an odd message to give your guests and can't say it made me feel at home! However, both owners were cordial whenever I saw them, mostly this was at breakfast, and the breakfast was good.

  perfect retreat and a good nights sleep

  This is a beatifull setting with nothing around you but field ,there was a problem with directions from hotel.com not correct ,but sat nav found easy enough .This cottage is first class 16th centry low ceilings and big wood beams small doors lovely decor .,we had the double room which is a good size not on suite this would ruin the appearance as every floor on a slope and uneven as you would expect ,if you want a good night sleep this has to be the best most comfortable bed I have slept in on my travels and have stayed in many 5 star rooms ,but the best was still to come the cooked breakfast is huge and top quaity she called it a hunters breakfast ,did not eat for the rest of the day,I would like to thank them for looking aftre us so well ,and should I be in the area agaIn this will be my first place to call
