Motor House Loft

Comfortable apartment in peaceful environment 4.7/5

The apartment is situated on the beautiful grounds of the owner with a lovely view over the environment. The livingroom is spacious with enough room for sitting, eating and cooking. The kitchen is very well equipped. The beds are comfortable and clean. So is the bathroom. We enjoyed the little terrace very much. The owner is very friendly and helpful. The village Sandhurst has a nice village shop for basic needs. Villages like Tenderden within 15 min drive have all other facilities. Sandhurst was ideally located for visiting the beautiful manors and parks/gardens like Sissinghurst and Great Dixter: all within 30 min drive. And the environment has lots of public foothpaths for short and langer walks.

Brilliant location, lovely flat, excellent host 4.8/5

We enjoyed our one week stay at the Motor House Loft a lot! The flat provides everything you need for a comfortable and carefree stay in a beautiful and very well looked after environment of the owners house and lands you are free to discover on a stroll around. Mark and his wife are excellent hosts! They are around if you have a question or need some first hand recommendation for example for a nice country pub nearby where you can eat or have a proper local pint, all within 10 min or so by car. Unfortunately the pub in the village in walking distance changes currently owners, so that was closed to the public. All the beautiful gardens, mostly National Trust but also Great Dixter, Charleston House and Prospect Cottage (Derek Jarman) are within short distances by car and it‘s a handful to manage to see all of them within a week. We definitely would love to come back and discover all the other things we haven‘t managed in that week. Thank you so much Mark for your generous hospitality! Definitely highly recommended!!

A comfortable, quality stay, that we would be happy to do again. 4.8/5

Lovely accommodation located within the grounds of a private home. Hosts provided all the information needed, responded to requests quickly and provided clean, well equipped, quality accommodation. The village is picturesque, and as hikers, it was great to be able to do the Sandhurst/Bodiam Castle circular path, direct from the accommodation. Many more walks nearby too. Our only disappointment was that the village pub (The Swan) is closed, requiring driving to nearby towns for drinks/dinners out. We enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again when we return to the area.

Spacious, family friendly apartment 4.8/5

We enjoyed our stay at the Loft. It's a well equipped, spacious, clean apartment, very suitable for families. The location is superb for visiting the various NT properties in the area. The host was extremely congenial and there are clear instructions for all appliances.

Fantastic short break 5/5

My wife and I decided on a last minute break in Kent and were absolutely delighted with our stay at Motor House. Great location to get about but we also had some helpful suggestions from the hosts who were very friendly but also left you alone if you didn’t need anything. Very comfortable accommodation with everything you could need provided. Would definitely use again as/when we return to the area.

A great break in the countryside of Kent 5/5

The Motor House Loft provided us with an excellent base from which to explore the treasures of this part of Kent. On arrival we were met by the very friendly and lovely black lab Maisie who was always pleased to see us throughout our stay. Mark and Melanie are great hosts and very pleasant to talk to. Mark has a great knowledge of the footpath network around the property with many walks from the door and shared these with us, the one to Bodiam Castle is excellent. Other attractions nearby were Sissinghurst castle, Scotney and Smallhythe. The Loft was very clean, well laid out and very comfortable and quiet. The view over the fields from the bedroom window first thing in the morning and late evening is not to be missed. We had a terrific week and would not hesitate to book if we were in that part of the country again. Thank you Mark and Melanie

Lovely part of the world, lovely hosts and fantastic property 5/5

Nothing about this property could be improved upon. Mark and Mel are fantastic hosts, they are very welcoming; nothing was too much trouble for them. The Motor house loft is a fantastic property, everything one could ask for. It was clean, modern and in excellent decorative order. The property is in a beautiful location with many walks surrounding it. Will definitely be returning. Paul & Tania

Beautiful Kent countryside location 4.8/5

Very well equipped, clean, comfortable beds and friendly helpful owners. You can reach the coast and no end of National Trust properties, gardens and pretty villages within a thirty minute drive. There is even a cinema two miles down the road, two supermarkets and a pub a short walk away.

Relaxing family break at Motor House Loft 5/5

Our family of four stayed at Motor House Loft over half term and highly recommend it. The apartment is well furnished and equipped, your hosts are friendly and on hand for any questions (fyi there's a pan drawer underneath the oven!). This is a great location. There are walks from the door through the surrounding fields, but also many activities within a short drive - Bodiam Castle, Boating station, Bedgbury Forest and GoApe. We were lucky with the weather and headed to Camber Sands as well as discovering the lovely views at Winchelsea beach across Rye bay.

A really great location and accommodation. We highly recommend! 5/5

We really enjoyed our all too short visit to Motor House Loft. During which we were able to visit some great locations and view the wonderful countryside of Kent and Sussex. Mark and Melanie were super hosts, offering us a peaceful walk across their grounds to explore the beautiful countryside walk way beyond. We would love to revisit, and heartily recommend a stay at Motor House Loft, a lovely find!. Alan and Jane Clarke from Sutton

Half term family break 5/5

My family and I spent 8 nights at the Motor House Loft this October half term. The property was very easy to find and was so very clean and comfortable. If we had any questions during our stay, the owner who lives in the house on site was always on hand to answer them or give us advice. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and are planning our next visit to this beautiful area of Kent

5/5

This holiday home was amazing from start to finish. Mark and Mel were brilliant hosts offering advice from places to visit to restaurants nearby. On arrival keys were easy to collect in key pad. Everything was immaculate and of very high standard. So homely throughout. Lovely big smart T Vs in living room and both bedrooms. The Wifi was very reliable which was a plus as we have stayed in lots of holiday homes and although they state they have Wifi we have been let down in the past by poor quality service this was not the case at Marks place. There was a lovely bottle of wine and milk in fridge also tea, coffee and sugar starter pack. We were each provided with little toiletry packs which was a lovely touch. The balcony decking area was great in an evening, my husband myself and our 21 year old sons had some lovely times sitting out after a days traveling. So relaxing and the heater is so warm for chilly nights. The grounds and the views are wonderful and so peaceful. The Swan Inn is a couple mins walk just around the corner. food lovely and staff so friendly. We had great fun from our daily visits from Maisie the dog who is very well behaved and friendly. The local area is beautiful and some lovely walks around but it is also a great location if you want to explore further afield to south coast such as Hastings and Eastbourne etc. There are plenty restaurants locally which Mark thoughtfully lists in his information pack. When we left we forgot to pick up our spare car key and Mark kindly offered to post it. Thanks again for the pleasure of staying at your lovely holiday home. We had a fab time, made some great memories and would love to stay again if ever we are back in the area.

Motor House Loft - Excellent 5/5

We had a lovely stay at Motor House Loft in Sandhurst. The property location is excellent for exploring the surrounding Kent/East Sussex countryside. Superb accommodation, very well appointed and an excellent shower! Our hosts were really quite lovely and we felt nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this property.
