Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rochester

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Flagpole Cottage. The hosts' home was clean, welcoming and extremely well-equipped. We had everything necessary for preparing family feasts, having a wood fire, plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. Robin and Francine even left a beautifully decorated real Christmas tree for us the enjoy (and put our presents under), a very thoughtful touch. We enjoyed the hot tub and trampoline (we were lucky with the weather, cold but not rainy) as well as the local walks to pubs. We bought our Christmas turkey (ordered in advance) at the fabulous Flower Farm shop, which is nearby and is a great source for all things edible. Robin and Francine's guide to local amenities and activities is thorough and quite useful. Robin was very attentive and open to queries but everything was so clearly laid out we didn't really have any questions. One last thing - the gardens are exceptional - even in December! I was in awe - especially the topiary. The old yew trees! xx

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.

Such a fantastic property! The smart home features for use with the hot tub, AC, lights etc were a really nice touch. The host was more than helpful and welcomed us into the house and gave us lots of info about the local area.

My family and I had the most wonderful stay at the River View barn. The barn was lovely and so peaceful with a beautiful view. We had such a great time and would recommend this to everyone.

A beautiful property amidst beautiful surroundings. Pictures didn't do the place justice. We were sad to leave as the place had everything, and the host had thought of everything. And the views, just incredible. Total peace, luxury, and some extra pleasant surprises thrown in for good measure. Must book for longer next time...

Ingram House is a beautiful house with an amazing, beautiful garden.We had a wonderful stay.Antonio responded to all messages quickly but the star of the check in/communication whilst there was Shirley the wonderful housekeeper.Such a lovely lady, who made contact before we arrived to confirm all details, meet us for check in and check out and responded to any queries during our weekend.The house has 5 bedrooms/2bathrooms upstairs and 1 bathroom plus additional toilet downstairs. A great kitchen,a lounge with seating for everyone plus a delightful dining room. To us the best place was the garden. At least 5 different ‘spaces’ to sit with tables and chairs, a great BBQ area by the kitchen, its just a beautiful, relaxing garden where we sat and enjoyed the afternoon (we were lucky with the weather). The only slight downside to us was the road noise. The windows at the front of the house have secondary double glazing which helps to reduce the noise. We would happily stay there again

Such a lovely place and very private with gorgeous views and fields around, would definitely come back in the future

We had a lovely stay at Tim’s house 10 adults and 2 children. Plenty to do for everyone and a wonderful weekend. We went for a lovely meal at the local milk house pub which is dog friendly and had toys for the children. Would highly recommend. Thanks Tim.

excellent place to stay ideally located near to Dover, had everything we needed for our stay. Karen and Marc were both great at communicating and made us feel very welcome. thankyou for having us 😊

Beautiful place to stay. Location was idyllic, beautiful and calm. The stable was decorated beautifully, very charming. And Sally was incredibly helpful, gave lots of information and suggestions and was very quick to respond. We would love to visit again sometime soon.

Benny was really great with communication as I booked very last minute! She also kindly let me check in much earlier and I also checked out a little later due to my own fault of not realising checkout was at 10am! The place is spotless and is well equipped, there were breakfast items left which was thoughtful and generous of Benny. The location is beautiful and peaceful - lots of cute lambs and ponies and even deer! A short drive takes you into forest row where you have a good selection of shops

What an amazing place, Seasalter Cabin provided us with a “home” to stay for 4 days. There were lots of options if you want to eat out, or cook! We love your kitchen and that dining table. Feeling energised and chilled afterwards. Thank you!

The apartment was gorgeous! We loved the location, easy access to the train, village and all that Greenwich has to offer. Davey is an incredible host, ensuring that we were settled in and comfortable. Perfect for families. Highly recommend!

Can only agree with other reviews. Helpful, responsive, friendly, clean, comfortable, cosy, excellent location for exploring Kent and easy day trip into London … Thank you, we had a fabulous week.

Alison dough cottage was lovely and spacious, great for dogs. High end fixtures and fittings. lovely welcome hamper. whitstable right on your doorstep, with parking places in street around the back. pubs restaurants and takeaways a stones throw away.

A truly fantastic place to stay in idyllic, peaceful and beautiful surroundings. We have stayed in a few Airbnb properties but none better. Vivienne and Bill are lovely people and absolute fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond. And made our stay even more special. Thank you both. Would highly recommend and definitely intend to stay again.

Absolutely great place,it does look 100% way better then what you see in pictures Literally you can get there the most peaceful getaway ,we already recommended this place to friends and we will definitely use this place again Worth for the price 100%.

We LOVE this place! Super relaxing, perfect surroundings. The garden is fabulous, we made the most of the sunshine this weekend!

We enjoyed a 3 day mini break at the Calf Shed cottage with our 2 children and dog. The cottage itself was nice with open plan kitchen and comfy seating area, and a private garden area which was great for the kids and dog. A big bonus was the heated pool with stunning views. The weather was not great but the heated pool meant we could still use it, which is a short walk from the cottage. The kids also enjoyed the trampoline and table tennis. The main barn was not rented during our stay which meant we had sole use of the pool and play equipment. There was no welcome pack/booklet however the host Alison was quick to respond to questions (wifi password, bin locations, etc). Other comments is the double bed was actually 2 single beds which the kids commandeered and signs of wear and tear here and there. However overall a pleasant trip.

It was a lovely stay and just perfect for our needs in London. We have two little dogs who felt quite at home. The garden was very relaxing. Canadian Avenue is a nice location and not too busy. There are plenty of shops nearby, the station is close and there are also lots of places to catch a bus. This is the first time of using an Airbnb. The whole process was excellent and I hope to book again with Sue in the future. Thank you also to Jean and Ralph who were vey helpful.

Great stay, felt like home from home. Host Alex was extremely accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

We had a lovely week in Plantagenet and really cannot recommend it enough; the cottage really exceeded our expectations. The garden is phenomenal. It was a private and tranquil escape and our collie thoroughly enjoyed doing laps of the large garden despite the rainy weather. We loved it from the moment we arrived and didn't want to leave. The cottage is well equipped, has a great cosy ambiance with lots of indoor and outdoor game options no matter what the weather. The communication with Tim&Maite was friendly and responsive, we particularly appreciated the slightly late check out. We are hoping to book again soon with more of our family joining us.

We had a wonderful stay here with our son and two grandsons. The snooker table, table tennis and tennis court provided endless entertainment. A delightful property and location. Nicola was both welcoming and responsive to any questions

Tara was very welcoming and made us feel instantly at home. The flat was well equipped with everything we needed. The flat was well located with easy transport links nearby. We would definitely stay here again!😄
