Whitstable Luxury Lodge
What a fantastic stay we had! This place is more than just a caravan. It felt like home from home. Such a spacious, comfortable and all round perfect place to stay. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. The host was responsive and even came to the caravan to help us with some things when we arrived. Very close to whitstable, Hearn bay and not far from Broadstairs we visited them all. We will definitely be back.

Jacobs Lodge - Beauport Holiday Park
This is the second time we have stayed at Corrina’s holiday home and once again we found it to be squeaky clean, very well equipped, peaceful and a great location. The garden is home to a family of foxes, who were so confident, that they sunbathed on the lawn whilst we were sitting on the veranda. Corrina made us aware of check in details in very good time and left a number just in case we needed assistance, which I’m happy to say we didn’t need. The surrounding area is so lush and green, this time of year, and there is always plenty of interesting things to do nearby. We will visit again next year, but hopefully for longer this time. Thank you.

Stay and Swim at our home & private indoor pool.
We had a lovely stay here, Nick was an excellent host, greeted us on arrival and very helpful with local info. Nick responded almost immediately to messages and had the pool ready for us to use as and when we requested. The kids had so much fun in the pool, the floats and toys left out to use were an added bonus! House was spotless and perfectly equipped. Would definitely Recommend and would happily return. Thanks for a great stay

Reed Loft
We absolutely loved our stay and will be booking again. The space was clean, warm and very spacious up and downstairs. The design and decor was on another level. We couldn’t get over the beautiful chandelier. We were greeted with fruits and milk on arrival in the large kitchen. Ahead of our journey we were given clear directions to the property. Access was easy and there were clear instructions for the sauna, pool etc. We used the sauna daily. It’s was huge and looked brand new. We were be able to watch the kids swim in the pool from the sauna. The kids absolutely loved the pool and took every opportunity day and night to swim. It really was a bonus to have our own pool. 5 of us stayed for a week and there was enough space in the fridge and freezer for all of our food. I have already recommended the space to my friends.

The Old Stable
Jane was a brilliant host. Responsive, professional and very friendly. The cottage was clean, had everything you’d need and more! The pool and hot were definitely the highlight! Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Trinity House Cottage
I stayed for my 30th birthday celebrations and had the best time ever. This place was perfect! the decor, the location, the surroundings and most importantly Karen and her husband was so friendly and lovely and ensured I had a special birthday. I’ve stayed at Airbnb’s before and I’ve never had a host as lovely as Karen was, the perfect host we could have wish for. The swimming pool was amazing and me and my family had a wonderful time enjoying it in the sun with a BBQ. The cottage was spotless and a welcome hamper was provided and every little detail was perfect. The garden area was beautiful through out the day and so peaceful and relaxing. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough, it was truly perfect and I will definitely be staying again and recommending to everyone I know! Thank you again for making it such a special birthday x

Private Indoor Pool - Honeywood Lodge
We were very impressed on arrival. Lovely peaceful grounds, pool bigger than we’d expected and great games area. Good place to stay with our extended family, good central location, really enjoyed nearby Canterbury. We were lucky with the weather. We visited Howletts zoo & 2 different sea-sides. The house is quite warm, it’s great fans are provided in all bedrooms. Improvements- Need better extraction for the kitchen- & update the book on what to do if the smoke alarm goes off! The agency were quick to help but with poor phone signal this was tricky to arrange. Bigger beds/ new mattresses Downstairs loo had no toilet lid Other reviews mentioned cobwebs & the place seeming a bit ‘tired’, I’d agree with some of that but it didn’t stop us having a wonderful time & a few cobwebs don’t bother me, everything else was clean and we’d love to return .

The Lighthouse, Kent Coast.
This was our second visit to the Lighthouse and it still is an amazing place, from the panoramic sea views to a lovely warm inviting home. A dip in the pool before breakfast, sitting with a coffee watching the seascape, as far as Essex and beyond, sunsets and so much more. I will make the same comment as I did last, this goes for the whole of our party across 3 generations and the dogs, the only bad thing about the Lighthouse is having to leave. Hopefully this will not be our last visit.

NEW! Riverside Retreat, city centre…
Paige’s B&B was a delight from start to finish. The newly renovated rooms looked exactly like the photos and were spotlessly clean. The location is very convenient—just a 6–7 minute walk from the city centre. Our room had a lovely river view, which made it feel extra special. We did have a minor issue with the key when we first arrived, but Paige came straight away and helped us sort it out quickly. Overall, our stay was very comfortable, and we’d happily choose this B&B again. Highly recommended!

Crippens, Divenly Designed, Central , Parking Ev
Everything at Crippens was as we expected - some things even better; ie really comfy beds, good linen and fluffy towels. Couldn't fault the location as walking to restaurants etc was only a matter of minutes. A really good quality rental that we can't wait to return to. Shout out also to John for being so amiable about having to come and rescue us after locking the door key inside! Great to have parking for the car and so convenient to just pop things out of the rear entrance and straight into the car. We rent on average 6 properties each year and I would put Crippens at the top of my list.

Central Luxury House FREE park, Super King bed, EV
Great cottage with private parking, which is very rare and Canterbury. It was a lovely well appointed place to stay and easy to walk to everything. The host was very responsive and very helpful with recommendations of things to do. I would highly recommend this cottage and this host. We truly appreciated the handwritten welcome card and the lovely cookies they left for us.

Historic Canterbury Hideaway with Parking
We had the absolute pleasure of staying in this lovely, quaint cottage right in the heart of Canterbury — and what a find it was! From the start, communication was excellent. Our hosts were friendly, responsive, and made everything smooth and stress-free. We felt genuinely welcomed, with thoughtful touches waiting for us on arrival that made it feel like a real home away from home. The cottage itself is full of character — beautifully kept, cosy, and tucked away just enough to feel peaceful, yet only a short stroll from all the shops, restaurants, and historic sights Canterbury has to offer. It struck the perfect balance between charm and comfort, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable stay with all the magic of Canterbury on the doorstep. A real gem!

The Lodge-Modern 1 bed & garden 10 mins to beach
A beautiful home that we were lucky to stay in! Everything was as described on the listing. Was perfect for a peaceful and relaxing time away!☺️

Cozy house next to city centre
Really nice host. The place is just as it shows in the pictures. The locaiton is great.

NEW Maple Cottage - City Centre | FREE Parking
A lovely cottage, very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Great location, so close to the city centre. And great to have free parking. Very good communication from Koala. Would have no hesitation in booking again.

Studio Cottage in historic village
Maurice was a great host, easy to contact and deal with. The "Tiny house" is indeed small but it is also well presented and very comfortable. Also spotlessly clean. Only one small improvement that we would suggest would be a mirror near a socket so that the ladies or gents can dry/straighten hair etc. Otherwise perfect for our requirements. Thank you

Garden Getaway
It was a lovely little property with a peaceful zen atmosphere and we especially loved the garden. It was everything one needs on a break.

The Smithy on the Square
The Smithy could not be more beautiful or more comfortable. It is the prettiest little house with a window box overflowing with petunias in the prettiest little English country square you could imagine (like something Disney would make up but better) with the ‘big house’ through the gates at one end of the square and a picture perfect church and pub the other end. The beds are huge and so comfortable. The garden is perfect for eating and sitting out in and I loved the kitchen which took me back in time to simpler, happy times (although please don’t get the wrong idea, everything is modern, clean, works and is up to date!). It just has a lovely nostalgic feel to it, perhaps because it reminded me of happy childhood times in my grandmother’s house, sitting at the kitchen table. I spent one afternoon cooking in it and feeling really relaxed ‘at home’ in a way that it isn’t always possible to feel at home! My husband and our Canadian cousins walked to Canterbury along the Pilgrims Way.

Island View Herne Bay
lovely detached house right on the seafront. The terrace has stunning sea views and great sunsets. The 5 bedrooms are all very nice and offer some flexibility with twins and doubles. We loved the seaside themed decor and nice touches like blankets. Nice host who gave very clear instructions. very clean and the kitchen was well stocked.

Stylish 1 bed town house 2 mins walk to town
Stephen was there to hand us the keys and gave us a quick tour of the house. A lovely little house with everything needed for a break and three minutes walk from the town centre. We'd definitely stay again. Try the Crispin Inn pub if you stay - most superb!

5-bed Walking Distance To Canterbury w/ Parking
Our group of 6 had a lovely time. The location was great, just a 10 min walk into the centre of town. It had a parking space and the place had ample room for 6 people. Would recommend.

3 Bed Canterbury Townhouse
Charley was a fantastic host . We had to swap our dates due to unforeseen circumstances, and Charley went above and beyond to help us . The house is very easy to get to from Canterbury East Station, a short walk ( mostly flat ) . The entire home was spotless,cosy, and everything was there that you need to have a fuss free break. The beds were very comfortable. The Garden was lovely in the evening to relax with a drink. The City Centre is a 10 minute walk , and supermarkets are very close by , takeaways are almost at the doorstep if you dont want to cook! A very needed break,made better by the brilliant host and great Place to stay . Would definitely stay again

Beautiful village cottage
Beautiful location. Very quiet and peaceful. Comfortable beds. Good for the dog, enclosed back garden. Parking on the street outside the house was easy. Close to Mermaid pub and Tadpole cafe/farmshop and bakery. Everything you need for a holiday in East Kent

The Yard Rye
We really enjoyed staying at Amy’s place. The cottage is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Amy was a helpful and responsive host. The location is superb, our first time in Rye but we will be back. We particularly enjoyed brunch at The Fig and dinner at The Union in Rye and The George Hotel has a lovely courtyard for drinks. Thank you Amy.
