No access to Hot tub
We were disappointed to be told we had misunderstood that we could use the hotub. The owner said that they do not allow children in the hotub but that he would allow it if an adult got in too (would not allow an adult to supervise). He also said to the children ‘if they got in, there was only one getting in and one getting out’. He made us and them feel unwelcome, so we declined. I understand that some places don’t want children in their space, but this should clearly be portrayed in the description.

Fantastic Property, wonderful weekend
This property has been lovingly renovated and provided plenty of space for the 13 of us who stayed at the property. It had everything you needed as far as kitchen equipment, two dishwashers and laundry facilities.
The surrounding farm was lovely to walk through, and those who had treatments at the spa were very happy.
Although not a complaint the open-roofed bathrooms in the bedrooms were a little odd, and the pillows for most of us were too big.
Otherwise it was fab and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, the communication with the owners was good and the location perfect.

lovely stay in Shadoxhurst
Really lovely week; we all really enjoyed, particularly our 2 year old boy absolutely loved the farm!
We had a very enjoyable stay at this property, very clean, super large lounge, comfortable seating and plenty of kitchen equipment so nothing to be disappointed about. We enjoyed the Kings Head Christmas meal which was just a 10 minute walk away. The icing on the cake was a large Christmas tree and a very warm house when we arrived.

A great place to stay
A well designed and laid out property with easy access and plenty of parking. There is a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of crockery, glasses, and cutlery with two dishwashers and a large fridge and freezer. The seating area has big comfortable sofas but this area would be improved with the addition of a couple of armchairs. Disable people can find it difficult getting up from a sofa this would improve the disable facility of the Coach House.
