By Colin on 01-Apr-2025Wonderful relaxing, stress free stay. This was my third visit to Kaths Cottage. They were both asked if I needed anything, at the beginning and said to come up to the house if there was a problem. I was lucky with the weather sunny and warm for seven days. Visited the coast and up to London, plus enjoyed the many places to walk locally. I hope to return later in the year. Thanks again for making the holiday so easy and stress free
Excellent cottage and hosts
By Sharon and Richard on 15-Mar-2025Kath's is a charming cottage - excellent accommodation , cosy , very clean and well equipped with great attention to detail. It's an excellent location for visiting NT properties and exploring Kent. Greeted on arrival there was also a very generous welcome hamper including superb home made goodies. Bev and John were excellent hosts from their initial prompt enquiry responses to their warm welcome and friendly, helpful manner. We would certainly recommend the property and hosts. We would love to return.

Perfect
By Nick S on 08-Nov-2024We recently had a short break at this delightful cottage. The accommodation is superb and has a great ‘home from home feel’. The cottage is in a very quiet location, but is perfectly situated for exploring Kent or taking the train into London. The welcome pack of groceries including delicious homemade goodies was a real treat. Bev and John are lovely, friendly and welcoming hosts. A real find, we will definitely return.

Outstanding stay
By Aditi and Ashok Mehta on 10-Sep-2024We have no words to describe our stay: it was just too fabulous. The loving generosity of the John and Beverley did not extend only to a hamper of goodies but ferrying us to the station and back multiple times, accompanying us on walks, teaching us about English mores in conversation and even replacing the entire shower unit that was a bit temperamental. Ashok got a birthday present ahead of the day and we returned to India laden with gifts. The cottage itself was warm, snug and extremely comfortable - and incredibly clean. John and Beverley have given us something more than just a great stay in Kent: they have reinforced our faith in human beings in a world that is selfish and often unkind. We've made friends for life and will definitely return, God willing.

We are blown away with your comments thank you so much. It was our honour and delight to meet you both. We will meet again!
Great time.
By Colin on 27-Aug-2024This was my second visit to Kath Cottage, at a warmer time of the year. The standard was at the same high level. Bev kindly replaced some of the food I had left behind, plus a few extras. I was able to explore the countryside, going for long walks, past where the apple pickers were starting work on the harvest. I hope to return soon.
That feel-good factor!
By Janet Morris on 22-Aug-2024The vibes are really good at Kath's Cottage. Your hosts, Bev and John, really care and it shows in the way they present their cottage. If your standards are high, you won't be disappointed. The 'Welcome Pack' is outstanding, especially if you like delicious home baking. The location is excellent; close to town, but with countryside literally on your doorstep. The peaceful cottage garden is viewed from the dual aspect kitchen windows which catch the morning sunlight. Finds like this don't come along often. A real gem. I hope I get the chance to return.
