Lovely house, plenty space and well equipped. Kids loved the pool. Nice village location with good pubs. Ideal for a large family group. Excellent communication with owner

Kingpost is the most beautiful old house with great character and charm. You might expect small rooms because of its age but in fact the rooms are all a very good size. The living room is big – we had 6 adults and 4 children happily congregating there without feeling cramped. The downstairs bedroom is enormous and the kitchen is perfect for a big group. We were able to get all of us round the table but could have used the bigger table in the hallway if we’d wanted to. The bedrooms upstairs were again all a good size. The beds were very comfortable and the linen sparkling clean. Both the bathroom upstairs and the shower room downstairs are a good size and there was never a shortage of hot water. Outside was good for our grandchildren – all under 5. They enjoyed the trampoline and the Wendy house as well as the slide, swing and seesaw. Their favourite was of course the pool which was beautifully warm and clean (a pool man came round while we were there to clean it). There were also plenty of toys both indoors and outdoors to keep them happy. This was our second visit to Kingpost and there were a few things that were a little tired this time. For example, the trampoline looked a little unkempt and when 2 of our children (aged 5 years and 3years) jumped on it, it moved about a little too much (we have a trampoline at home so know what flexibility there should.) The football left in the garden had strips off it, although you could kick it around. In the kitchen, the frying pan had scratches on it so everything stuck to it and one of the saucepans had been put back dirty. The plastic outdoor glasses looked very old and not very clean. There were only 2 t-towels which wasn’t enough for our weeks stay. These are only small things that would cost very little to replace but would make a big difference. Moving on to location – it’s great. There’s lots to do for children. We went to the Rare Breed Centre, Camber Sands, Hole Park, Bedgebury Pinetum, There are loads of wineries to visit and a trip to Hastings isn’t far.

Lovely house, pool is great and it is in a fantastic location. Near the coast and surrounded by great pubs for dinner and things to do for the whole family.

A wonderful stay. Such a characterful house, but also brilliantly maintained. Near a welcoming pub and in a sweet village. The photos do not do the property justice. Enjoy.

Lovely property, seamless check in, and really accommodating hosts, Martha sent us a great pre-read email with lots of activities, eateries and things to do which really helped. The pool and garden was brilliant for us and the kids. I’d highly recommend this property.

I cannot say enough good things about this little piece of heaven. Nestled right in the middle of the charming village, with 2 pubs in walking distance. The cottage is larger than we anticipated and the pool is perfect. Martha could not do enough to make our stay memorable - we just loved every minute

The property is lovely, everything was just as expected and more. The place was beautifully clean, we had all that we needed and thoroughly enjoyed our family holiday, there some wonderful places to visit nearby, the countryside is beautiful and we would certainly return to Kingspost.

We had a wonderful week here. The house is better than we had imagined, very well set up for guests. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the gardens are gorgeous and the pool made it just that but more special. Great area too with so much to do in the day and some lovely places to eat nearby. Recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay. The house is spacious, comfortable, full of character, beautifully appointed, and we could have easily moved in forever. The pool was a big hit with the kids, the garden fantastic for all ages. The pubs were a very short walk, and Kingpost was close to lots of attractions — castles, manor houses, gardens, outlets. Tenterden nearby had a big Tesco when the local grocery wasn’t enough. Internet was slower than what we’re used to, but we brought our own. Otherwise, just a wonderful family break during the pandemic.

Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay in your house and used it as a great base for a holiday. Positives: 1. Lovely character inside and out 2. The pool was nice and warm, which was essential considering the weather 3. The garden is a well-equipped lovely space 4. Very well set up for children 5. Great, well-equipped kitchen space 6. Great location for exploring area and also local pubs – went to the Bull twice. Negatives: 1. The furnishing in the living room are very dusty and a little old, two people in our group have dust allergies and reacted to the soft furnishing, anti-histamines were required. 2. The TVs are small and dated. The Sky box is also out of date, you could probably get Sky Q box upgrades for free now. A newer TV (and/or new Sky Q box) would allow guests to use built in apps to use their own subscriptions, e.g. Netflix, Amazon Prime & Disney+. 3. Internet – I appreciate that you may not be able to do anything about it, but the internet was slow (compared to what we're used to) and doesn’t cover the whole house. For example, the sky box in the master bedroom was updating all week, and only started working on our last night. 4. A little maintenance is required, e.g. the back door is scraping a little against the kitchen floor, the cabinets next to the fridge are sticky. 5. The welcome pack should include the manuals, had to dig around for those to work out how to get the fridge/freezer colder and work the oven. The welcome pack doesn’t state the rubbish collection day, had to Google it. None of these negatives stopped us from having a great holiday in a wonderful character property.

Kingpost is a beautiful house, bursting with character and history. The facilities were great with plenty of toys and games for the younger children. The pool was a huge plus for the whole family with such scorching weather. We had a couple of lovely meals at The Bull, barbecues and fish and chips in Dymchurch. A fantastic family holiday

Beautiful house with a great garden and fantastic pool. Lovely big bedrooms and so many toys and games for the children. It’s ideal for younger children and they enjoyed the garden, pool, playhouse and trampoline. We celebrated our parents 50th Wedding Anniversary here. Perfect house, perfect weather and a fabulous time had by all. Thank you to the owners who were so friendly and helpful.
