We absolutely loved our short stay at the hut. Grant was exceptionally quick at responding to booking enquiries and the welcome provided by his partner was really helpful and friendly. A gorgeous getaway from the City with lots to do nearby. A perfect piece of tranquility which I would recommend to everyone! Thank you for a wonderful stay.
NicolaAugust 2016The hut was excellent, exceeded expectations. Would thoroughly recommend the Flying Horse in Smarden
HattyMay 2016Lovely Shepherd's hut: cosy, welcoming, quiet and scenic! Ideal!
DeclanAugust 2016Grant met us on arrival and showed us around and where everything was. We asked where the local pub was within walking distance and Grant was happy to tell us about the surrounding area. We will be back Fantastic break
AnnaJuly 2016Lovely shepherd's hut in a rural setting. Cosy and quiet. Well equipped kitchen and comfy bed. Bring wellies if you are going in wet weather as it can get a bit muddy!
SaskiaFebruary 2016This is a lovely peaceful location for a couple to escape too, we stayed one night as we were visiting Hythe the following day, Grant was helpful and answered any questions before hand and the address was easy to find. A very cosy accommodation with kitchen, a heated shower and toilet is provided very close by. A super location to visit in the garden of England.
MarkMay 2016Would definitely recommend staying here - the hideaway was cosy, beautifully decorated, well equipped and clean. Grant was an excellent host, he was friendly and helpful, and communicated well. Thanks, Grant! :)
Lucy June 2016This little place is fantastic! I couldn't fault it. Everything you needed was in the hut, including a BBQ which sits underneath the hut! The hut was spotlessly clean and I slept very well. Grant was very welcoming. The hut looks over a small pond which was wonderful to wake up to, with a small table and chairs out the front for a sunny day. We will definitely be returning - I very much recommend!

Lovely big house, ideal for sharing with large group. Huge dining table for sociable meals. House lovely and warm and cosy atmosphere. Very quiet rural location. Host very friendly and only next door. He was keen to sort out any problems we might have had while we there, but we didn't need him. Highly recommended.

Spent three very comfortable nights here in March - the Pod is really cosy and warm (excellent underfloor heating so no problem for winter!) and is very well equipped. I like to sail and I felt like I was staying in a double cabin on a luxury sailing yacht! The bed is very comfortable, TV and Wifi have excellent reception and I loved the Pod's funky lighting system which allows you to adjust the mood through colour, brightness and tone! Fiona goes out of her way to make sure you have a great stay. Fresh bread, juice and milk every day! Bethersden is a lovely village with 2 nice pubs and friendly locals! Booked in to stay again soon. Can't wait!
TrevorMarch 2017A wonderful weekend stay. Compact, fun, cozy, private, very well equipped. Seriously yummy breakfasts, and warm friendly hostess. Can walk to a good pub or drive to the beach. Highly recommended!
ChrisFebruary 2017The pod is lovely, full of light and versatile. It's really cosy and comfy, with wonderful views on a beautiful garden! Fiona looked after me very well and allowed me to keep my bike in her shed. We had a small misunderstanding about timings, but other than that everything ran very smoothly and my stay was as efficient as I needed it to be. I would love to be back for another work trip in the future!
AdelineMarch 2017I do not have enough words to say what a wonderful experience we had at Fiona's pod last night. Way beyond our expectations, clean, fresh, very warm and snug even in Feb when it snowed! Peace and quiet with only birdsong, heaven! We had a wonderful breakfast and Fiona spoilt us with fresh bread, homemade marmalade (best I've tasted), eggs, milk, cereal, nespresso coffee machine which being coffee addicts was a god send. Directions and access were as easy as Fiona advised and we had very clear and thorough instructions left for us on how everything worked inside the pod and it all did without any issues! Great spot if you are going to Ashford Retail Park 15 mins away. We will definitely be back and thank Fiona for everything! Xx

Vivienne was lovely in communication, on arrival, and throughout our stay. Really welcoming and helpful. The stable block is in a lovely location and has everything required for a weekend stay (or longer).
DavidSeptember 2016Absolutely perfect Vivienne was on hand when we arrived and made us feel extremely welcome. A lovey quiet tranquil place to stay and a beautiful room. Vivienne provided us with a great choice of foods for breakfast. Could not have been better and we will definitely come back.
GrahamJuly 2016Very comfortable stay in a beautiful and peaceful setting. We especially appreciated the big comfy bed. Vivienne took good care of us, and breakfast was plentiful and very nice. Very good value and a lovely place for a couple ( and dog!) getaway.
KateAugust 2016Was a great place to stay, would go again and recommend it. nice and private.
Gen-November 2016We enjoyded our stay here very much. For us it was relaxing in the house we waere looking for and we got that completly. Nice with the animals around, the peace of the fields, and a very friendly host. Vivienne is very cosy and funny!
SaraMay 2016Can't recommend this place or these people enough! Beautiful little building with equally beautiful scenery and two of the most generous hosts you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. Perfect weekend, honestly. Will be going back.
SamMarch 2016We had such a relaxing holiday - we most loved having breakfast outside next to the pond. The place was easy to find, close to lots of fun day-out places, but also very peaceful and felt like a retreat. Our 5 month old baby slept really well and had fun looking at the geese and chickens. The cottage had everything we needed, including lots of yummy breakfast items. Vivienne and Bill were so welcoming and hospitable. I hope we can return again!
AnnaMay 2016We had a lovely welcome and that care and attention continued throughout our stay. We loved the accommodation and the property as a whole was charming. Really nice to enjoy the outside seating area and the pond and watching the owners chickens. So nice that there were breakfast things provided.

Down the end of a farm track in the peace of the Kent countryside is the barn. The beautiful barn! Oak-beamed, and beautifully restored it sits on part of a property which is owned by our charming hosts. It is still private enough to feel that we are on our own, which is often not the case with other places. The decoration is appealing as Emma has a real talent with her colours. It is contemporary, but it has a splash of colour here and there All so perfect in every way. From the warmest of welcomes from our host Emma to the warmth of the house, well centrally heated, especially during a cold Easter week. It could not have been more comfortable. There was a welcome basket which was generous and thoughtful, even with freshly laid eggs from her chickens! The beds are comfortable and the best linen and towels used as if we were staying in a five star hotel. Lashings of hot water, good and powerful showers, warm towel rails and a kitchen which is very well and thoughtfully equipped all complete the picture. We were happy to return to it after a day out at the coast or visiting (URL HIDDEN) felt like a second home! We will definitely go back to it...that is for sure!
PaulaApril 2016Bemba's Barn is a fantastic place to stay and i would highly recommend it. We were attending a wedding in the area and the barn added to a fabulous weekend! The barn is modern yet has a classic country feel and both bedrooms are a great size and really well equipped. The best shower i've had in a long time!! Emma is very welcoming and relaxed and makes you feel very at home. Thanks very much!
JamieJuly 2016We had such a lovely weekend in Bemba's Barn. Hugely generous hosting, including a lovely breakfast (after wine tasting) and wood for the fire. 4 of us plus an 8 month old were extremely comfortable from start to finish. We will be back ! PA
Paul April 2016Emma was a fantastic host and made everything very easy going. The barn was amazing! The interior was well planned and had a warm welcome effect of "being home" for the weekend. Emma left break, butter and milk and then left us to peace and quiet. There is a beautiful wood fire and the shower was one of the best. We traveled into The beautiful village of Rye, and we were recommended an amazing gastro restaurant. All in all, a relaxing weekend. We will definitely come back here.
MichaelFebruary 2016Our couple of nights at Bemba's Barn were excellent. The accommodation was spacious and everything in it was of a high quality. The quiet, rural surroundings were just what we were hoping for and Emma's communication was very good. I would imagine that this is as good as a rural Air BnB property gets and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
MaxMay 2016Wonderful weekend, high spec barn conversation with everything you could want for a country autumn stay. Excellent value.
RachaelOctober 2016My partner and I stayed at Bemba's Barn for three days and had a wonderful time. The barn is beautifully furnished and Emma was extremely accommodating. Little things like leaving us some fresh eggs and locally produced apple juice were much appreciated. We felt very much at home.
RebeccaApril 2016Emma was extremely helpful before we even arrived, the barn is very beautiful, in perfect condition with everything you might need. Comfy beds, lovely views and a great host! The surrounding area is very interesting with lots of things to see and do so we will be going back!

We had a wonderfully relaxing time at the Garden Cabin. Lynda and Mike are lovely people and wonderful hosts and we were greeted with a yummy home baked cake as it was my birthday! The place itself is gorgeous, tastefully designed and very comfortable. We were supplied with a hamper of breakfast goodies which were more than sufficient for our short stay. The surrounding gardens were just beautiful!! We were given loads of privacy but Lynda and Mike were always to happy to help if we needed anything. We'll be back for certain!
ClaireSeptember 2015What a treat. Gorgeous cabin, and lovely welcome; this is a wonderful place to stay - you will not be disappointed. Lynda left croissants and jam and other lovely things in a basket and in the fridge. The bed is very comfy - quite luxurious - and the gardens are idyllic. Many thanks for a lovely stay!
JULIAAugust 2015Excellent experience!lovely and smart-designed house with transparent corridor! The garden is spectacular, showing us how amazing the English country life is! Lyda is so friendly! She prepared homemade cake and jam, even two duck eggs for us! Extremely delicious! Her 3 dogs and cat are also friendly, even to my Mom and I, two person who afraid big dogs! All of dogs are very nice and cute~ Even miss them now! Stay in this house is the best experience in our trip in England!
JINGXIANMay 2016Heerlijke plek, prachtige omgeving, zeer hartelijke ontvangst, wij voelden ons zeer welkom bij Lynda en haar echtgenoot. Zeer goede uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes in de mooie omgeving.
HenkAugust 2016This is a truly exceptional accommodation. Lynda and Mike were helpful, and very gracious hosts. (Good luck with the upcoming garden tour!) The cottage is set in a large garden adjacent but separate from the main house. Everything about the cottage is first rate! From the cottage to the nearest village, (and excellent pub), is a gentle 1 mile walk.. From this location one can easily explore the southeast and get to Gatwick in about 1.5 hrs. We hope we can come and stay longer here again some day.
ThomasJune 2016Lynda was a great host with a beautiful property set in the grounds of her lovely place, with dogs, cats, ducks, and horses. We visited the area for a wedding with our five month old son and Lynda had prepared a travel cot, as well as everything we needed for our stay (including a very tasty cake!). She was incredibly helpful, very welcoming and we really enjoyed staying there. She even drove us to the local train station when we left and gave us a tube of toothpaste which we had forgotten. We couldn't recommend the place more highly.
RobSeptember 2016What a wonderful place to stay in Kent. The garden cabin was spacious, homely and comfortable with everything required to be self sufficient. It was in the perfect position for visiting all the gardens, castles and villages that were on my list and was a beautiful place to retreat at the end of the day enjoying Lynda and Mike's beautiful garden. Lynda, Mike and their daughter were extremely helpful and friendly and I loved being visited by their dogs. It felt like I was at home. I can't wait to recommend this place to my friends.
JaneJune 2016Delightful cabin with great sense of privacy and everything you need for a quiet break. Close to some great pubs and markets

We shared a bottle of wine (most of it!) and watched 'Strictly come Dancing' together before eating our meal and enjoying good conversation, almost as if I were one of her friends. The bed was very comfortable. The garden was lovely. I was very happy to be there.
NatalieOctober 2016Made to feel very welcome, thank you! Great house, lovely atmosphere and would happily recommend.
ShannonNovember 2016Staying at janes is the reason why for me airbnb is such a treat. It was a true "home from home" experience. Lovely peaceful location, great value, great conversations, large bedroom with comfortable bed.
paulMarch 2017it can be a bit difficult to find the place sepecially at night. It was not that clear when Jane told me it is opposite the golf course whicg to me looked like and open field.
piyatidaDecember 2016Jane's place is tucked away in a gorgeous part of Kent, very near Smarden, a beautiful small village with a couple of great pubs! Jane's bungalow is absolutely delightful, it's got a brilliant 'lived in' family feel to it, homely and full of personal touches. You can park in the driveway and then literally just listen 'to the quiet' and then do your own thing. Bathrooms are shared - that's made clear on the booking form and it's not an issue! If you're after a quiet, secluded, no-fuss, no-issue, spotlessly clean, informal, great place to stay - you've found it!

Anna & Richard were so warm & welcoming! Comfortable bed & a fabulous breakfast at a very relaxed time. Tenterden High Street was lovely to have a wander around, coffee shops, restaurants & lots of shops! We also visited Chapel Down Winery & had dinner at The Swan (which was fantastic!) Richard was lovely enough to drop us off!
James &AmandaNovember 2016Comfortable room and lovely bathroom. Fantastic breakfast and lovely hosts.
OliviaDecember 2016Anna and Richard are so hospitable and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. It was the perfect location for our trip to Chapel Down - we were able to walk home on a public footpath (Richard had given us wellies) which took us approximately 1 hour. Richard kindly drove us there so that we could leave our car at home theirs. Breakfast was delicious in the morning. The room was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back. It is just off Tenterden high street so very easy to get to a wide range of restaurants in the evening.
EmmaFebruary 2017We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage. Anna and Richard were incredibly welcoming and excellent hosts. We felt truly at home. Tenterden is a delightful town - we really enjoyed the wine tour at the local winery, and had a delicious meal at the swan.
LeoFebruary 2017We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Richard and Anna were fantastic hosts who were able to advise on the local area - there are some great shops and pubs / restaurants in Tenterden and we will certainly return to the area. The room itself was a good size, very clean and well decorated. It honestly felt more like a boutique hotel than a B&B - thank you Anna for the wonderful biscuits! Breakfast was superb. All in all a very enjoyable stay! Thank you again

We had a very relaxing stay at Little Puddingcake. The apartment is very clean and decorated very lovely throughout. It is equipped to a high standard of everything you would need. The location is situated in between Rolvenden and Tenterden high streets, both a short drive away. Or a 30 min walk to Tenterden which we did one day. Perfect location for short drives to various parts of Kent. We ate food in most nights, but there are plenty of nice pubs and restaurants around. We look forward to coming back again!
AndyFebruary 2017Fiona was a most welcoming host and make sure we had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. She was very forthcoming with suggestions of where to visit and local places to eat and could not have been more helpful and friendly. I would very highly recommend staying here.
GaryNovember 2016Little Puddingcake is a very well designed and equipped s.c. apartment halfway between Rolvenden and Tenterden, both picturesque places. It is perfectly placed to explore Kent and East Sussex, while providing a peaceful haven when one wants to relax. Fiona was ever helpful and kind, but never intrusive.
GrahamSeptember 2016Just fabulous, we loved it! We couldn't rate Little Puddingcake more highly, it is like a luxury villa. The fitout, furnishings, attention to detail and personal touch are all to the highest standard. Spacious living, dining and kitchen, beautiful bedroom and large ensuite. Cosy, relaxing and just so comfortable. If we could give it six out of five we would.
MarkNovember 2016Wonderful stay in beautiful apartment in lovely setting. Hosts are extremely friendly but also respectful of privacy & Honey the Romanian rescue dog is an adorable member of the welcome party. The apartment is very tastefully decorated & equipped. Can't recommend highly enough.
RachaelFebruary 2017Lovely getaway, really nice place.
RichardFebruary 2017Aaaaaaah; Is the sound we made when we stepped inside! We were after a country bolt hole to get away from London for a couple of nights and this ticked every box and delivered on them all. Only a short drive from London this is a part of the world I'm a little reluctant to shout about in case the secret gets out. The property is perfect for a couple. Standing alone, we had all the privarcy we needed, but Fiona and Honey (a friendly four legged co host) were on hand whenever we needed help or advice. We even had to change our plans fairly last minute and Fiona obliged without any hassle (apologies for that Fiona!). It wouldn't be easy to find but her directions meant we arrived painlessly without calling for help. Chapel Down winery is minutes away (do book a table, it's worth it!) as is miles upon miles of stunning countryside and lovely pubs with a smattering of castles. The property itself is of an outstanding standard and super value for money. Spotless, with a bed that lends itself to lengthy lie ins. Fab bathroom, kitchen and still retaining a few original features. It's not often this city dweller gets property envy, but this.... I wish we had more time, I'll certainly be recommending this to friends who want to switch off for a few days and remind themselves what trees look like. I've not spent a great deal of time in Kent before, but this... ssssh dont tell! Thanks again Fiona x
LukeDecember 2016This place is just perfect. So immaculate and clean. We had the most relaxing stay and our host Fiona was so hospitable. Would definitely recommend it here. Batteries now fully re-charged! Thank you for everything

What a perfect way to sped our time in Kent. I couldn't recommend this place more. Book it you won't regret it! Thank you so much Debbie...you will definitely see us again!
KirstyFebruary 2017Good communication with Debbie before and during the stay. Very much appreciated Debbie's understanding of my need to bring breakfast items to cater for food intolerances and her asking whether she could provide anything in particular.

Delightful stay, nice airy room- plenty of windows which can open to allow the delicious fresh air in. Lovely view from the bed. I was very happy here and would definitely wish to book again. Bed comfy and a throw also if one needed extra warmth. Thank you Melody
SharonNovember 2016It's hard to find in the dark, however Melody was helpful. The rest was all fine, good listing.
LaurentOctober 2016Very excellent chill-out experience here. Peace of mind. I am an outdoor type of person, loving nature and etc so Melody's place is ideal for me. Close to the natures and several National Trust spots are near by, approx within 10-15min by car. Nice place to spend 1 night or 2 to explore area. Quiet yet warm because of the lovely family. I will definitely come back again later this year. See you soon all Melody & your family!
YuLinMay 2016Melody very good with directions, off street parking. Pastries and tea/coffee offered in the morning. Choice of tea and coffee on a tray in the room. Comfortable bed. In winter the shower problem with low water flow needs attention.Also check that the wall heaters are operating. Lovely garden to view during breakfast.Very good location.
JulieOctober 2016We stayed at Melody's for a weekend and I must admit she is the best host I have ever come across on Airbnb! The room was spotless clean with own bathroom in a peaceful location surrounded by beautiful nature and picturesque little towns and villages, just 30 minutes from Rye. The only minor thing was that hot water in the shower was running slow, I believe because of weak pressure. But that would not stop me from going back and recommending Melody's place to my friends! Melody, best of luck to you and to your lovely family! Xxx
KatarinaApril 2016Melody was a bright bubbly host her accommodation was simple but perfectly adequate for our needs and she recommended a nice pub for an evening meal
LizJune 2016Melody was very kind and welcoming, taking time to show us everything. It was a very welcome surprise that Melody had started providing a continental breakfast and we could eat it out on the lawn in great comfort. We also forgot some clothes after leaving and Melody very kindly rang and texted to tell us she had found them before we had got very far! Thank you so much, Melody.

Lovely quiet barn which is a great place for retreat. Thanks to Sally for letting us to stay in. The town is close by where you can find good places for lunch and dinner. Highly recommend as a place of stay in Tenterden.
CathySeptember 2016We stayed here for two nights over new year and everything about it was perfect!! Sally is such a lovely host and so helpful. There were supplies for breakfast and some wine which was so generous! We loved the fire in particular which was roaring when we arrived and the barn was always extremely cosy! The bed was amazingly comfortable and there were all the amenities you could wish for. We strolled into Tenterden for lunch, its about a 20 min walk and its a lovely town! Its the perfect getaway for a quiet retreat! We will definitely be returning!
LouiseJanuary 2017Lovely barn conversion located a short walk away from Tenterden town centre. The barn is spotlessly clean and well furnished. A great choice for a weekend's stay, thanks to Sally for being a great hostess.
AndrewFebruary 2017Very welcoming on arrival. Gorgeous property, represented well in pictures. Great weekend.
RosieAugust 2016This is a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation is beautiful, but what really made it special was Sally's welcome. The welcome pack included much more than anyone could possibly expect - I had everything I needed to make a really delicious breakfast. Best of all, when Sally saw me walking out into the rain, she very kindly offered me a lift. Can't recommend this place enough.
PaulJune 2016We had a lovely time in the immaculately presented barn. Sally is the perfect hostess who went to lots of trouble to ensure our stay was a comfortable one. She provided so many nice thoughtful touches which were very much appreciated. The beds were very comfortable with lovely bed linen. Very tastefully decorated with a lovely leather sofa and chairs and a large television to sit and relax over a glass of wine that was in the fridge for us. All in all, a great place to stay and in a lovely location. Thoroughly recommended.
LucindaJune 2016The stay at Finchden Barn was fantastic. The pictures do not do it justice. As soon as you walk in the front door you feel like you are home. Sally was very welcoming, especially when we got lost! The little touches such as the bottle of wine, jam, fresh eggs and my favourite coffee (how did she know?) made it extra special. My daughter especially loved the bed linen (would love to know where you got it). My other daughter loved the surround sound TV system (thank you to Stuart for helping set up). Would love to visit again.

Located down a quiet country lane, this cottage is absolutely gorgeous. The cottage backs out onto fields, with the Norman church of Egerton in the distance. The cottage itself has been done-over very nicely and includes a nice modern kitchen, fridge, etc. There is a wonderfully large bed upstairs. Local area has really nice pubs.
ChristianSeptember 2016We enjoyed a lovely 2 night break in the Garden Cottage. The weather was terrible but we luckily had enough sun on our first night to walk to the end of the lane and appreciate the beautiful rural surroundings. The cottage itself lived up to our expectations. Cosy and cute and a perfect base to explore the area.
JamesJuly 2015Our stay in the stunning cottage was truly just that. Niki was warm and welcoming on arrival and accomadating to our needs, but also allowed us to enjoy our country escape. The cottage itself was quaint, clean and cozy. To be honest we didn't want to leave. It was exactly the breath of fresh air we were after. Thank you Niko and your family x
SarahNovember 2015We had a great 2 day visit to the cottage. It was perfect for our family break and the cottage had everything we could have possibly needed. Niki was really helpful and responsive even though she wasn't around during our stay. The Leeds castle tickets that Niki provided were a nice touch but unfortunately we already had plans to visit Canterbury and Dover castle. The only problem with the whole trip was that we didn't have the opportunity to stay longer to explore more of Kent.
IanAugust 2015The place is fab! Niki & John were excellent neighbour/hosts. We stayed with our daughter... and just walked & walked in the WONDERFUL Kent countryside. PERFECT spot for it :-) Bed was comfortable, kitchen fine.
Tom & DonnaMay 2015Niki had everything well prepaired. There was even a welcome basket. We felt like we were in " Escape to the country". In this cottage. What a wonderfull location! We didn't even need to put the dog on the leece, but just walked into the fields. The walk to the village is very nice, through the field, through an apple orchard, through a field with sheep, different gates and there you are. To bad the pub was not opened yet. We enjoyed Canterbury, Rye and loved Tenderden and Cranbrook. Sissinghurst is also great. Dogs cannot go into the garden, but I went alone and my husband stayed outside which is lovely area and after I was done we could take a walk with the dog on the estate where they can even go into a pond. Very nice and peaceful . Also at the lunchplace they are allowed. What is also great is that the cottage is only about 40 minuten from Folkstone for the tunnel.
PetraSeptember 2016We had a fantastic stay here, the cottage was beautiful, clean, tidy and welcoming. Tickets to Leeds castle would definitely have been used if we had the time - that was a really nice touch. We enjoyed the beautiful, undisturbed and serene surroundings. Although, finding the place in the darkness was a challenge!
LucySeptember 2016We enjoyed our stay in this magnificent cottage. It is wonderfully situated at the end of a road in beautifull Kent countryside, so almost no traffic. The cottage has its own garden and we found offered a lot of privacy. We lighted the wood stove in the evening. Everything was very clean and practical. Our hosts Niki and John were very friendly and live next door, so always available for practical questions.

I booked a weekend break at the windmill for my girlfriend as a christmas present. It was, in her own words: "the best weekend away I've ever had" (and she's been to Skegness....Joke (no offence intended to Skegnessians(?)) Clare was exceptionally welcoming and made us feel at home right from the off. She was quick to respond to texts and emails, and we loved the homely touch of the welcoming package (fresh eggs, bread, veg...)also, a informative tour of the windmill itself. The windmill has been renovated to a high standard with original features maintained. The interior was tastefully decorated, from the tap fittings to the weights used as book-ends and the copper basin. It was a joy to walk around and take it all in. There was also the comfiest bed I have ever stayed in. There were plenty of activities in the surrounding areas which we had planned, but found ourselves too absorbed with the windmill to leave. Opting for many films in front of the fire instead.
TomMay 2015You won't stay in many places where you'll want to photograph every detail before you move your stuff in - but this is one. Where else can you fall asleep (or take a bath) under a huge, ancient wooden mill-wheel? There might be cheaper places to stay, but if you want somewhere you'll remember forever, book here. And Clare is a generous, talented and discreet host.
BenMay 2016Such a beautiful home. Thank you very much for letting us stay x
LauraFebruary 2017Clare was a lovely host. The windmill is absolutely beautiful and a great little hideaway. Everything was wonderful!
OliviaDecember 2016We loved our weekend stay at Clare's windmill for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. The mill has been beautifully restored and is very comfortable & cosy. Clare is friendly and welcoming and when we arrived, there was homemade bread, eggs and other produce from their garden in the kitchen, which was a lovely touch. There are loads of great places to visit within a half an hour drive including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Great Dixter, the town of Rye, Camber Sands beach and plenty of great country pubs. Would definitely recommend, especially for couples after a relaxing/leaving getaway.
MiaDecember 2016The place is Incredible and Clare was Lovely ! This Is a quiet place and the mill is the most beautiful house we ever saw. We were so sad to leave after 3 perfects nights. Thank's a lot Clare, we really hope to come back for a longer stay. I'll recommand it to anyone !
AdrienJune 2016Clare has done an incredible job renovating the Windmill. Every detail and element in the Windmill has been thoughtfully considered creating an extremely cozy, luxurious an unique environment. The Windmill is a combination of luxury and comfort, rural and urban, history and modernity - it is a must visit! Clare was a wonderful host and extremely accommodating. We were greeted with a welcome basket of vegetables from her garden, fresh eggs, and home baked bread! We highly recommend the Windmill for an easy and memorable weekend away. Thanks, Clare!
JulianAugust 2013I booked a two night stay at the Old Smock Windmill as a Christmas present for my mum and dad. They had the most wonderful stay and have told me how welcome Claire made them feel. In my mum's words my dad "was in raptures over the wooden beams" and the beautiful way the windmill had been restored. Thank you for helping to make it such a memorable weekend for my parents Claire and for your fantastic communication even though I am in Australia! You are on my bucket list of things to do next time I come home to the UK!

A most beautiful tiny house in a most beautiful field. Such a peaceful and wonderful place to spend time recharging and reconnecting with nature and my partner. No TV, No Wifi... just a place to come and rest.
RuthAugust 2016The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
LivThe Apple Shed is a charming spot for glamping, and you can expect a warm welcome from Kate (complete with cake). It's well kitted out for such a wee space, and the log fire is amazing once you've got the hang of it. (Despite Kate giving us a quick lesson, we failed to stoke up a roaring fire on the first night so went to bed wearing all of our clothes. Admittedly there was snow on the ground, but it was freezing until a, we mastered the wood burner the next day and b, Kate kindly provided a standalone electric heater). The bathroom doesn't have heating (and remember to bring shower gel and shampoo), so we wouldn't stay in winter again but it'd be a magical spot in spring, summer or autumn. The village and surroundings are well worth exploring, and it's deep in the heart of walking country.
HelenJanuary 2017We had a truly magical experience in the Old Apple Shed. Kate was very friendly and welcoming - complete with home baked cake ready for us in the apple shed. The location was wonderful - walking distance to some great friendly local pubs. All communication was excellent. Thank you Kate for being a wonderful host!
EmmaOctober 2016Decided to have a weekend away with my boyfriend for my birthday for 3 nights and this seemed like the perfect place. Couldn't of asked for a better weekend, on arrival Kate was there to welcome us and take us to our private meadow. The setting was stunning, Kate left us at the gate and told us if we needed anything to give her a txt or just knock at the house and we walked down to the old apple shed with Toast the horse for company in field. The shed itself is lovely beautifully decorated with recycled materials, no telle or wifi so no distractions just time to ourselves to enjoy each others company and the surroundings, we went in November so it was quite cold but as soon as we got the fire going it got lovely and cosy with board games and a radio to keep us entertained. We had planned on going out to a few places but it was so nice inside and in the surrounding woods and village we barely even left! Only to explore the fields and woods nearby and pop to the local butchers (which sells amazing runny scotch eggs!) and shops to get food and supply's. Perfect place to just get away from the busyness of every day life and spend some quality time together. Would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for a peaceful get away! Lovely place and lovely people, thanks for an amazing weekend!
NatalieNovember 2016Had an amazing time at the apple shed. Such a quiet romantic stay. Bed was comfy and really good facilities. Really good location to two nice pubs that serve great grub. The farm shop in the village sells the most amazing ribs to put on the BBQ. There was great communication with the host. Overall a great stay and would recommend. Thanks Kate

The faithful and discreet slave is the term used by Jehovah's Witnesses to describe the religion's Governing Body in its role of directing doctrines and teachings. The group is described as a "class" of "anointed" Christians that operates under the direct control of Jesus Christ[1] to exercise teaching authority in all matters pertaining to doctrine and articles of faith.[2][3]
The concept is a central doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses' system of belief[4] and is based on their interpretation of the Parable of the Faithful Servant at Matthew 24:45–47, Mark 13:34-37 and Luke 12:35-48.
The doctrine has undergone several major changes since it was formulated in 1881 by Charles Taze Russell, founder of the Bible Student movement. Russell initially applied it to the "church"—the "little flock" of 144,000 who would go to heaven—but five years later explained that it was an individual who would act as a sole channel or agent for Christ, dispensing "food", or new truths, for God's "household". Bible Students consequently regarded Russell as the "faithful and wise servant" of the parable.[5][6][7] In 1927 the Watch Tower Society announced that the "servant" was not in fact an individual, but was made up of the entire body of faithful spirit-anointed Christians; by 2010 that group numbered about 11,000 Witnesses from around the world.[8] In 2012 the society announced an "adjustment" of the doctrine, explaining that the slave was now understood to be synonymous with the Governing Body, a small group of anointed elders serving at the religion's world headquarters. The announcement also marked a change in belief about the timing of the slave class's appointment by Christ: it was said to have taken place in 1919 rather than in apostolic times, as previously believed.[9]
Watch Tower Society publications teach that Jesus uses the faithful and discreet slave "to publish information on the fulfillment of Bible prophecies and to give timely direction on the application of Bible principles in daily life"[10][11] as the only means of communicating God's messages to humans. It is referred to as God's "prophet"[12] and "channel",[13] and claims to provide "divine" direction and guidance. Jehovah's Witnesses are told their survival of Armageddon depends in part on their obedience to the slave class.[14]
Governing Body members are said to act in the role of the faithful and discreet slave class when arriving at decisions on doctrines, activities and oversight of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide, including making appointments to positions of responsibility.[15][16][17]
Origin and history[edit]
The parable on which Jehovah's Witnesses base their doctrine of the "faithful and discreet slave", as rendered in the King James Version, reads: "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods."
Watch Tower publications assert that Christ, the "master" in the parable, returned in Kingdom power in 1914 and at that date identified those associated with the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society as the only group still faithfully feeding his followers.[18][19][20] (Earlier publications apply different dates to this event. The date of Christ's inspection has previously been identified as 1919,[21] though publications have also suggested Russell's group passed God's test of fitness 40 years earlier, using The Watchtower as his principal method of spreading Bible truth from 1879. Publications had claimed the slave class began using the Watch Tower Society as its legal instrument in 1884.)[22][23] Christ, in fulfillment of the parable, subsequently appointed anointed Christians associated with the Watch Tower Society "over all his belongings". The "belongings" are said to today include Jehovah's Witnesses' Brooklyn headquarters, branch offices, Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls worldwide as well as the "great crowd" of Jehovah's Witnesses.[18]
Development of doctrine[edit]
In 1881, an article in Zion's Watch Tower and Herald of Christ's Presence by the magazine's editor Charles Taze Russell identified the "faithful and wise servant" as "that 'little flock' of consecrated servants who are faithfully carrying out their consecration vows—the body of Christ ... the whole body individually and collectively, giving the meat in due season to the household of faith—the great company of believers."[10][24][25]
In 1895, Russell's wife Maria claimed that Russell himself was the figure referred to in the parable at Matthew 24:45-47, though Russell initially declined to accept the personal application of the title, suggesting that it should apply to the Watch Tower rather than its editor.[26][27] In 1897 Russell agreed that Christ would have made a "choice of one channel for dispensing the meat in due season [emphasis in the original]" and while he did not refer to that "one channel" as an individual, Russell did apply to it the personal pronoun "he" (for example: "if unfaithful he will be deposed entirely"), and noted "whoever the Lord will so use, as a truth-distributing agent, will be very humble and unassuming" and "he would not think of claiming authorship or ownership of the truth."[28]
In 1909, in an unsigned article, the Watch Tower mentioned that the "application to us of Matthew 24:45" had come "some fourteen years ago", or about 1895. The article went on to say "the Society's literature was the channel through which the Lord sent them practically all that they know about the Bible and the Divine purposes." [emphasis added][29]
The prevailing view among Bible Students that Russell was "the faithful and wise servant" of Jesus' parable,[30] was reiterated in the Watch Tower a few weeks after Russell's death in 1916:
Thousands of the readers of Pastor Russell's writings believe that he filled the office of "that faithful and wise servant," and that his great work was giving to the Household of Faith meat in due season. His modesty and humility precluded him from openly claiming this title, but he admitted as much in private conversation.[31]
The Watch Tower Society's official history of Jehovah's Witnesses states that Russell "did not personally promote the idea, but he did acknowledge the apparent reasonableness of the arguments of those who favored it."[32]
In 1917, the publisher's preface to the book, The Finished Mystery, issued as a posthumous publication of Russell's writings, identified him as the "faithful and wise servant" appointed by Christ;[33] as late as 1923, the Watch Tower repeated the same belief about his role, declaring: "We believe that all who are now rejoicing in present truth will concede that Brother Russell faithfully filled the office of special servant of the Lord; and that he was made ruler over all the Lord's goods ... Brother Russell occupied the office of that 'faithful and wise servant'."[34]
In 1927, Watch Tower Society president Joseph Rutherford reverted to Russell's original viewpoint, announcing that the "servant" was not an individual, but was made up of the entire body of faithful spirit-anointed Christians.[8]
A 1950 issue of The Watchtower appeared to assign to the "mother organization"—in reference to the Watch Tower Society—the task of feeding Christians "meat in due season";[35] in 1951 the magazine defined the "faithful and discreet slave" as a class of people whose teachings were imparted through a theocratic organization.[36]
From 2000 the Governing Body was increasingly described as the representative[37][38] and "spokesman" for God's "faithful and discreet slave class".
Watch Tower Society publications had taught that the "faithful and discreet slave" class had had a continuous uninterrupted existence since being appointed by Christ at the time of Pentecost AD 33,[21] when the first 120 people upon whom holy spirit was poured out began "feeding" Jews with spiritual food. As new disciples came in, they filled the role of "domestics" and joined in feeding others. The Apostles and other early Christian disciples who wrote the books of the New Testament were also part of the "slave" class providing spiritual food to Christians.[39]
The Watchtower claimed members of the "slave" class were a close-knit body of Christians rather than isolated, independent individuals, and that one generation of the "slave" class fed the succeeding generation to maintain the unbroken line for more than 1900 years,[39][40] providing the same spiritual food to Christians worldwide.[21] Watch Tower publications did not identify the groups filling the role of the "slave" class between the close of the Apostolic Age and the early 20th century, suggesting it disappeared from "clear view",[40] but they implied they might have included the Lollards and the Waldensians (the latter movement described by The Watchtower as "faithful witnesses of Jehovah ... who sought to revive true worship of Christianity").[41][42][43]
A series of talks at the 128th annual meeting of the Watch Tower Society in New Jersey on 6 October 2012 made further changes to the doctrine about the identity of the "slave". The society's report on the meeting said that "the faithful and discreet slave was appointed over Jesus' domestics in 1919. That slave is the small, composite group of anointed brothers serving at world headquarters during Christ's presence who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food. When this group work together as the Governing Body, they act as 'the faithful and discreet slave.'" The report said the slave "logically" must have appeared after Christ's presence began in 1914.[9]
The doctrinal change also redefined the "domestics" of the parable—previously identified as individual "anointed" Witnesses[44]—as all Jehovah's Witnesses.[9]
Following his expulsion from the organization in 1981, former Governing Body member Raymond Franz claimed the description of the slave in the parable as a "class" of Christians was unsupported by scripture and was used to emphasize the concept of the slave being connected to an organization, diminishing its application to individuals in encouraging the qualities of faith, discretion, watchfulness and individual responsibility. He argued that if the application of figures in Jesus' corresponding parables as members of a class were consistent, there would also be a "ten-mina class" and "five-mina class" relating to Luke 19:12-27 and a "many strokes class" and "few strokes class" arising from Luke 12: 47-48.[45]
Franz claimed the religion employs its interpretation of the "faithful and discreet slave" parable primarily to support the concept of centralized administrative authority in order to exercise control over members of the religion by demanding their loyalty and submission.[46] He said the "anointed" remnant, which at that time was claimed to comprise the "slave" class, had negligible input into Watch Tower Society doctrine and direction, which were set by the Governing Body.[47]
Franz also argued that the Watch Tower Society and its doctrines were built on the independent Bible study of its founder, Charles Taze Russell, who neither consulted any existing "faithful and discreet slave" class for enlightenment, nor believed in the concept taught by the Society.[48] He concluded: "In its efforts to deny that Jesus Christ is now dealing, or would ever deal, with individuals apart from an organization, a unique 'channel', the teaching produces an untenable position. It claims that Christ did precisely that in dealing with Russell as an individual apart from any organization."[48] Franz also claimed that Jehovah's Witnesses' official history book, Jehovah's Witnesses—Proclaimers of God's Kingdom, misrepresented Russell's view of the "faithful steward" by emphasizing his initial 1881 view that it was the entire body of Christ, without mentioning that he altered his view five years later.[49]

Right on Schedule: No holiday break on the ice
How does the pre-New Year schedule shape up around the league for Fantasy owners? We focus in on a couple of the key matchups and look at the entire slate in our latest Right on Schedule.
Nearly halfway through the 2010-11 campaign, The Winter Classic will be the first NHL broadcast of the season for The National Broadcasting Company. With all due respect to said-network's coverage, does anyone remember the days when a major network cared about season-long loyalty? Versus is slowly becoming a respectable cable network and it's in large-part thanks to Hockey viewers. But let's get one thing straight ... Versus has helped earned some respect back for the NHL.
This past Tuesday night, Versus televised the coming out party for Andrew Gordon of the Washington Capitals. By the end of the game, it had an atmosphere much like that of Sunday Night Baseball, featuring a freshly called up pitching phenom who just threw seven strong. I must admit, it's going to be nice to watch Sunday afternoon hockey. Point being, instead of schedule algorithms this week, let's focus on the television network schedule most committed to the NHL in the long run.
Minnesota Wild (16-13-4) @ Columbus Blue Jackets (17-14-3)
December 27th -- Columbus is last-place in what is arguably the most balanced (Central) division in the league. The ice could be run amuck with deficiencies as both teams are struggling to light the lamp. Columbus is ranked 29th in Power Play Goals, while Minnesota are worst in the league with less than 900 shots-taken.The Blue Jackets are 9-9-1 at home this season and the Wild are a modest 8-6-2 on the road. Thus far the season series is tied at one, with each team having stolen a one-goal road victory.

MIN Niklas Backstrom , who had seemingly lost his job to Jose Theodore , is now on a 3-game winning streak. Having forfeited only a goal-a-game over that span, it should also be noted Backstrom has a 1.81 GAA in four career games at Nationwide Arena.
CLB Goalies, this portion of our week is brought to you by Ibuprofen. Steve Mason and Mathieu Garon have had their issues. Even though Garon has been getting most of the nods in December, both goalies have taken turns being pulled after allowing six goals. Your guess is as good as mine here, but I lean towards Garon.
Boston Bruins (18-11-4) at Tampa Bay Lightning (20-10-5)
December 28th -- Much could be said about the Lightning, but mostly how they have shown spells of ambivalence. During an important month with only one Western Conference opponent, the Boston Bruins have been the Jekyll and Hyde of the NHL. The beginning days (4-0-1) of December were kind, but the Bruins went 2-3-1 in their last six heading into the Christmas break. Third in the league with a plus-105, the B's roster has merely five players with a minus-rating. However, these are two teams that have headed in different directions since their last meeting. The Lightning are 6-1-2 in since their embarrassing 8-1 road loss to the Bruins on the 1st of this month.
Boston left-winger, Milan Lucic was enjoying a point-per-game over the last eight games. Since then, Lucic has been a minus-two and 22 PIM thanks to a bit of a brawl in the Bruins 4-1 win over Atlanta. Lucic, who earned two minutes calling zebra Dan O'Rourke "a joke" and "embarrassing," had a feisty night. There have been no reports that Lucic suffered an injury after the cheap hit by Freddy Meyer in that game. Following Tampa, Boston heads to Hotlanta for the second time in seven days.
Previous match-ups
Thu, Dec 2, @Boston - Boston 8-1
Nov 22, @TB - Tampa 3-1
End to End
TB Dan Ellis has just about taken the reigns from Mike Smith since that aforementioned loss. Ellis, (10-5-5) is 4-1-2 in the month of December. This is a man looking to get his GAA (3.03) below three, and I think he will bring Tampa Bay to at least a semifinal playoff.
BOS Tim Thomas (16-4-3) is without a doubt a top MVP candidate as we flip the calendar. Despite fighting off a persistent Tuukka Rask , Thomas has been solid again in the month of December, sporting a 5-2-1 record. It's no surprise that the Bruins have been shutout in three of four of Thomas' losses.
Phoenix Coyotes (15-11-7) at St. Louis Blues (17-12-5)
December 31st -- Neither team has yet to dig in their heels, nor is this a juicy match up of exciting hockey towns. However, both organizations have righted the ship in recent years. What does this mean to us for New Years Eve hockey? Quite honestly, I'll be suite-side with family for the Stars and Canucks at the American Airlines Center.
Either way, I will not be surprised if this game has an edgy pace all-night. Alex Steen is leading the Blues with 11 goals (six in December) and slowly becoming a leader. Despite an over-zealous style and minus-9 rating for the season, point man Keith Yandle has been a huge lift to blue-line offense for Phoenix. The 'Yotes went 1-3-1 on this road trip heading into Sunday's action with Dallas.

PHO Ilya Bryzgalov (upper-body/flu) was rumored to be returning to action against the Stars. If I ruled the desert, I'd sit him one more game as a precaution. They could give a shot to former Dallas Stars prospect goalie Matt Climie . Only a week ago, Climie relieved Jason LaBarbera after giving up five goals in 22 shots. Barring any setbacks, I expect Bryzgalov between the pipes against the Blues offense.
STL Jaroslav Halak -- remove a three-day, two-game total of 13 GA allowed in mid-November, and Halak has been irreplaceable. Even heading into the Christmas break (1-3-1), Halak can make or break this team while we wait for raw talent getting to know one another.
Out of Broadcast Area
Brian "The Hair" Engblom was right last week. New Jersey is in serious trouble. I don't think anyone noticed, but this organization has leaned on Marty Brodeur like the U.S. leaned on foreign oil in 1990's. Could we see a fire sale in Jersey?
NJ this week: vs. NYR, ATL, @ CAR
I hate to sound like the rest of the NHL world, but can we actually count Buffalo out after the loss of leading goal-scorer Derek Roy? Roy, who had 10 goals (25 points) tore his left quadriceps tendon and is expected to take four to six months to recover.
BUF this week: @ EDM, CAL vs. BOS
Sleeper Alert
CLB Jakub Voracek , recently broke a goal-scoring drought. Voracek, who has six goals (20 points), has now been combined with Derick Brassard and R.J. Umberger to make up Columbus' second line. Available in 40% of CBS leagues, you may want to keep an eye on this young former first-rounder.
This week: vs.MIN @TOR vs. OTT @NSH
NYR Derek Stepan , really not as much a sleeper as he is underdeveloped talent, Stepan has kept step with the NHL. After a brilliant hat-trick in his NHL debut on Rangers opening night, Stepan has spent most of the season QUIETLY adapting. Nonetheless, the 20-year-old has three goals in his last three games.
This week: vs. NYI, @ NJ, TB, FLA
As for the mid-season Super Bowl-like event, weather.com reports a 30% chance of flurries for Saturday. Sid and the Great Alexander's ... sounds like a Glam/Rock outfit. Just as you're shaking away the fog of a New Year and/or hangover, tell your family and friends the game at Heinz Field just started. Even if they complain at first, after the show (see Cooke flop) these two teams put on last Thursday, you WILL BE thanked later.

Augustine Reviews
October 6, 2013
Deconstructs late 19th century forms of torture, sexual exploitation and degradation, the female body as theater, closet peep shows, and the medical practitioner fantasy of 'a slave looking for a master' that all defined psychiatry back then.
July 11, 2013
Augustine's best when it focuses on the push-pull relationship of doctor and patient. SoKo is excellent as the troubled girl, inspiring both compassion and frustration.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
July 5, 2013
Worthwhile but fairly routine "19th-century science" drama.
June 21, 2013
Ultimately, while this character-based drama proves consistently engrossing, it leaves various pertinent and fascinating issues frustratingly unexplored.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
June 20, 2013
Fiercely yet faithfully imagined by... Alice Winocur, [the film] is not exclusively a mystery. It's also part love story, part horror story, as well as a parable of gender, power and the enduring enigma that is the mind-body connection.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
June 20, 2013
Winocour does not reduce her characters to caricatures, but depicts them as unwitting actors in the tragedy of a pathological society.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
June 20, 2013
Though the tone is solemn, I took the finale as a knowing, agreeably dirty joke.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
June 20, 2013
Unlike some movies that impose feminist views on 200-year-old stories, "Augustine" finds feminist sentiments within the story rather than imposing them from without.
Read More | Original Score: 3/4
June 20, 2013
The stand out is French Pop star Soko as the title character, who gives an outstanding Oscar worthy performance!
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
June 13, 2013
The writer-director Alice Winocour creates a kind of subdued excitement of discovery.
May 31, 2013
The hysterics contained in Alice Winocour's "Augustine" -- and "hysteria" is what it's about -- can't obscure the understated, smoldering subtext of what is a sometimes playfully smart and irony-laden story.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
May 19, 2013
Hand-held camera gives contemporary realism amidst the historically correct costumes and surroundings. . .[but] feminist iconography . . .makes the phenomenon seem a charade.
Full Review | Original Score: 7/10
May 18, 2013
[VIDEO ESSAY] Newcomer director Alice Winocour drafts an erotically charged and socially complex telling of a controversial 19th century neurologist and the nubile patient he treats.
Full Review | Original Score: B+
May 17, 2013
A dark, and rather disturbing debut.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
May 17, 2013
Winocour skillfully films Augustine being exhibited for other doctors in several disturbingly erotic scenes, but elsewhere Soko's stolid, one-note demeanor takes a toll.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
May 16, 2013
Soko is terrific, but it is Mr. Lindon who delivers the performance of the film, his internalized consternation amounting to an eloquent dispatch from the war between the sexes.
May 16, 2013
Ms. Winocour is not inclined to turn "Augustine" into a neatly moralized fable of a predator and his victim. Rather, the film is what might be called a melodrama of transference ...
Read More | Original Score: 5/5
May 16, 2013
Visually, the film conjures the past with shadowy interiors and harsh light. Winocour, who also scripted, often makes her points without words.
May 16, 2013
[A] somber, intelligent period drama ...
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
May 16, 2013
Its world is small but convincing.
