Cottage holiday rentals in Canterbury

Larissa's place is wonderful and provided the perfect space for our needs. The garden is HUGE and access to the hot tub was a bonus too. The accommodation was well appointed with everything we needed and very homely. We had a very warm welcome and I would highly recommend this place to others.

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

Lovely away from it all cabin with an excellent dog friendly garden and a hot tub we sadly couldn’t fit in the car 😂. Recharged our batteries with a lovely 4 day break. Thank you for letting us stay we had such a great time. X

A tranquil and peaceful little spot perfect for a couples getaway. We did some hiking up towards the coastline and took a trip to the lovely Canterbury City which is a short drive away. Overall a great weekend away and highly recommended.

I booked to stay at the cottage for my husband's birthday and it didn't disappoint. The communication between myself and Tim & Maite was great. They were always responsive and super helpful. The photos of the house don't do it justice. It’s such a lovely area and although you may see the occasional walker in the distance, you feel like your'e in the middle of nowehere. The hot tub was a great addition to the property, especially since the pool at the house was not available due to it being out of season and super cold, as explained prior to our arrival. We ( and the kids) loved the house, loved the fire, loved the hot tub, loved the games, We played the family edition of Cards Against Humanity and it was just a lovely relaxing family weekend away without computer games - it was bliss. The perfect setting and in my husbands words - it was the perfect find! Thank you so much to Tim and Maite for such a wonderful stay.

A perfectly relaxing and rejuvenating stay at Blackthorn was just what my wife and I needed! Quiet, comfy and spotlessly clean we enjoyed the lovely vista from the veranda, our swims in the pool and soaks in the hot tub. Peter and Karen made us feel so welcome and gave us the benefit of their extensive local knowledge with recommendations for eating out and places to visit. An absolutely ideal retreat for seeing the many local attractions or to maybe stay on site to make the most of the lovely relaxing setting. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely house perfect for a special gathering. Lots of different zones to break out into. Lovely big garden too. Very comfortable and homely

Alison was a friendly and lovely host. She offered picking me and my friend from the train station when we first arrived and also offered to give us a lift to certain places. It felt like she was our mother in a way that she took care and looked out for us. The communication between us was good, Alison had given me her number in case we needed anything. Alison had set up the treehouse for us so we could watch the sunset which was so beautiful and we had the hammocks out which was relaxing. I would 100% recommend, there’s a lovely Village called Cranbrook where the people are very polite and welcoming. We visited a restaurant named Jumeira which had the most tasty Indian food I have tasted. Overall was an extremely enjoyable experience in the countryside, I would definitely want to visit again!

Nice little house. Pleasant decor. Excellent modern kitchen. 4 minutes walk to Whitstable high street and the seafront, with lots of Cafes, Bars and restaurants. It is probably more suited to adults than kids.

We had a wonderful stay at Louise's cottage. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location was perfect, great walks and close to two beaches which the dogs loved. Louise was a great host, very helpful and friendly, made us feel very welcome. We highly recommend staying here and would love to come back in the future.

Our second stay, and we had a fantastic time. Lovely cottage with lots of space, perfect location, and great communication with Janet throughout. We will be booking again for sure!

What a wonderful stay! Mr Catts house is in beautiful surroundings just outside of Rye. Perfectly located and extremely well equipped! We found it brilliant with our young daughter, everything is there that you need - even a proper cot! The house itself has everything required for a really comfortable stay and more! The beds are so comfy and the high quality bedding and towels felt homely. Ruth is a wonderful host! A glorious stay - Thank you!

Everything was great and as described with a perfect location close to the sea front. Stephen was friendly and made us feel welcome upon arrival so it was easy to settle in and relax. A well deserved five stars!

We would like to say a big thank you. We had a fantastic weekend stay at this property. The garden was 100% safe for our dog and we found it nice and quiet, surrounded by nature and orchards. Mark had left lots of leaflets showing what's going on in the area, and was very kind to recommend places to visit and eat/drink. The accommodation was designed and decorated with alot of thought and attention to detail, to establish a very comfortable stay. We will certainly be visiting again.

Dani's place is stunning, the beach was less than a 5 minute walk, its peacefu, quiet and such a stunning area. The house was spotless and looked just like the pictures, everything you need for a trip away. Felt like home. Dani was super helpful and quick to respond. I visiting Dani's house by myself and my dog, and i was spoilt for room. Its suitable for the whole family :)

The Beach Boutique is the cosiest and perfect place to stay if you’re looking for something in this part of the world. There was everything you could ever need and of the highest quality too. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed somewhere where they really had thought of everything for such a comfortable stay! It was only a short drive from the lovely Rye and other local beauty spots. Would highly recommend!

A lovely few days at Hazel cottage. The cottage was clean, light, very peaceful and it had everything we needed to make it a home from home. We enjoyed a couple of evening meals in the garden, some lovely walks along the North Downs Way with some very nice lunches at pubs along the way. I felt very comfortable allowing my dog to roam around the garden, which was very secure - he met his first hedgehog there l. Claudia and her partner were very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back.

Super Cosy guest house, with Brenda living right next to it. She was very friendly and helpful. At our arrival, we found bread, butter, milk, eggs and fruit as a welcome present. Wood for the burner was also provided free of charge. Everything was as described and we felt right at home! Would absolutely come back.

A real gem in a very peaceful, private, rural location, within easy distance of Rye and many local places of interest. Bridget has created a very special place to stay. Welcoming and beautifully decorated, very clean, well thought through with everything you need to enjoy feeling 'at home' in the Cottage. Very well appointed. Very comfortable bed, large bedroom, wonderful shower, and great kitchen. Wonderful walks for miles from the doorstep with our 2 collies, along public footpaths and through the family farm, with glorious views of the countryside all around. Lots of wildlife and birdsong to enjoy. Highly recommend. We'll be back!

Great cottage in a beautiful location. Garden, and the snowdrops were stunning. The only downside was the very low ceilings. Anyone of average height is likely to hit their head on the beam in the kitchen. This was mentioned in other reviews, and expected in an old cottage, but was not mentioned in the description.

Lovely cottage, very clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. Fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The area is stunning, you come off the busy motorway to within minutes being in a rural very peaceful setting which was perfect for a short little break away for our family and 2 little dogs. We had some lovely walks and the local pub only a 10 minute walk away was also excellent and very accommodating. My only negative was that the garden was not managed and quite over grown. The weather was lovely and we sat outside for breakfasts so it was a shame that the same attention had not been paid to the outside space, which i do feel is important. This aside Lulu was a great host and we had a fantastic break away, I would definately recommend.

Jo's place is very charming, cozy, and pretty. The garden is beautiful in April. We loved watching the sunset and the badger cam. The amenities are hard to beat -- Jo has really anticipated everything you need. We made good use of the breakfast items she left for us. The local knowledge she imparted to us was also useful on our walks through the Kentish countryside. Leave time for a walk to a meal at the Five Bells - the chicken and bacon pie was fabulous!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at studio cottage as it was spotlessly clean, had lovely linen and towels, great dressing room, bathroom and kitchen which was well equipped for our requirements. The location was perfect for visiting local areas and the local village shop great for last minute purchases. Jackie was quick to answer any of our queries and accommodate our requests. We would highly recommend this lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage. Very spacious. Nicely furnished. Good WiFi. The courtyard is a nice suntrap and was a secure place for our Yorkshire terrier to potter around. Jane could not have been more helpful. Will definitely visit again. Rye is a beautiful town. Very dog friendly. Enjoyed good wine and a splendid Ribeye steak at The George Inn.
