With its excellent transport links to London and the channel, many pass through Kent without stopping to appreciate the scenery. Those who do stop know there are many reasons to slow down and explore.

From the host of free attractions in Kent, we recommend you take a trip to Rochester Cathedral, the Biddenden Vineyards or one of the many free museums and art galleries. One of our well-appointed holiday cottages makes for the perfect hub whether you are travelling with friends, family or both.

We had a fabulous stay at Sakers Cottage. The hamper was lovely especially the homemade cake! It is in a great location with lovely walks right from the door and we especially enjoyed the use of the well kept tennis court.
The owners were very welcoming and we hope to return soon.

22 SEPTEMBER 2019

The cottage was in a lovely setting and we were very impressed with home made cake and hamper. However there were cobwebs everywhere and the windows were not clean. Cobwebs and foliage growing through roof where safe is kept. TV did not work and when left a message about this it was not acknowledged. Not clear where to park no signage on cottage. Owner not very welcoming

1 JULY 2019

Delightful property and owners! Home from home.

29 MAY 2019

Perfect for a short break. Peaceful surroundings.

29 SEPTEMBER 2018

Owners charming and very helpful. Furnishings and equipment excellent BUT RURAL RETREATS DESCRIPTION MOST MISLEADING. NEARBY PUBS ALL DEFUNCT.THIS IS A VERY SMALL CONVERTED OUTBUILDING NOT A CHARMING COTTAGE. VIEW IS IMMEDIATELY OVER DRIVE OF OWNERS' PROPERTY. NEED TO KEEP SHUTTERS CLOSED FOR PRIVACY. ALMOST NO HEADROOM IN BEDROOM. PERSISTENT SMELL OF HEATING OIL.
FIRST AND LAST TIME WITH YOUR COMPANY UNLESS YOU ARE MORE 'REVEALING' WITH INFORMATION ABOUT PROPERTY PRIOR TO BOOKING

4 OCTOBER 2018

Thank you for your kind words about the owners and furnishings/equipment at Sakers. It is a lovely property which usually has great reviews. We call it a cottage referring to the definition in the Oxford dictionary - a small house, typically one in the country. The front of the property is overlooking the private garden and I can reassure you that the owners cannot look in through the windows at the back. I am sorry that two of the pubs have closed recently. We have taken the reference to them off the web page.

21 AUGUST 2018

Great for a couple.
Peaceful.
Close to nature.
Great for walking, running etc.
Some great pubs in the area.
Clean and well equiped.

24 JULY 2018

Accommodation was tastefully furnished,well planned and well prepared
Property is in the grounds of the main house ,just 20 metres away
Owners are available if you need them,but otherwise respect your privacy and are not noticeable
Parking is in a small private field just opposite
Excellent shower in the ensuite,with views over the farmland
Only 1 bedroom and cottage is quite small, but fully equipped and nicely designed
Ideal if you want a few peaceful days in the Kent countryside

9 JULY 2018

The cottage is the perfect place to go to relax , unwind and recharge your internal batteries . It is beautiful and peaceful with everything you need or could want . It is situated within easy reach of some wonderful places Hever and Leeds Castles , Eltham Palace , Ham House , Smallhythe and Sissinghurst and others too numerous to mention , then you can come back to the peace of 'home' and chill . Shakers was pure bliss .

20 JUNE 2018

Beautifully appointed, spotless, tranquil cottage, with footpaths from the back door out to local countryside and a decent pub nearby serving great food

8 FEBRUARY 2018

Ambience +++. Location ideal for us. Warm welcome.

19 JANUARY 2018

Although this cottage is small, it is well equipped and has been nicely decorated inside. We appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine, and the plentiful welcoming basket. The only point that we would like to make is that when the weather got colder, it was cooler in house, as both front door and back door have significant gaps in the frames allowing the cold air to come through.

23 JANUARY 2018

Thank you for your comments about lovely Sakers Cottage. I am very pleased that you liked the decor and the equipment and I will pass on your comments about the cold air.

13 OCTOBER 2017

While everything was perfect! No remarks at all!

18 SEPTEMBER 2017

Well furnished and equipped downstairs; beautifully decorated. Very clean. Good Welcome Pack.

Slight disappointment with the upstairs bedroom: no curtain or blind on the large window; we found the bed too firm.

31 JULY 2017

Very nice, luxurious cottage with great facilities- would be great to have a blind upstairs though..

17 JULY 2017

Only because the bedroom roof space was limited and there were no curtains which meant sleeping with a blindfold

7 JULY 2017

Very impressed with the cottage and the welcome hamper was the best we have ever had. The homemade Victoria Sponge excellent. We liked the home grown products. It was all perfect and we had a great time despite the changeable weather.

12 JULY 2017

We are delighted that you had a great holiday. Thank you for your lovely comments about Sakers Cottage and of course the delicious cake that our guests there always enjoy.

26 JUNE 2017

Lovely cottage and the usual generous hamper.
Only snag was the provision of eye masks instead of curtains. We didn't find them comfortable and as a result woke very early.

27 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your review of Sakers Cottage. We are pleased that you thought the cottage lovely and the hamper generous. On the website it says 'In order to benefit from the stunning floor to ceiling window there are no curtains, however eye masks are provided to ensure a good nights sleep during the summer months'. Up until now this has just been under the picture of the bedroom but we have now put it as an added note.

26 JUNE 2017

The cottage was excellent with top notch bedding and towels etc. All modern comforts and over flowing hamper. Home make cake was a welcome treat.

28 JUNE 2017

What lovely feedback, thank you so much.

19 MAY 2017

Beautifully appointed cottage. Well situated for visiting National Trust properties. Welcome hamper very good though not quite as comprehensive as in other RR cottages we have been to.

10 APRIL 2017

Highly recommended cottage.

From £381

Sakers Cottage nestles within the last remaining Apple and Pear orchards of the area. It has a completely self contained and very private garden. Enjoy long summer days sitting in the shade of the old tree and enjoy the fragrant scent and colours of the summer flowers planted in borders and pots on the paved terrace. During cold winter days, stay cosy and warm inside and admire the ever changing view over open fields from the panorama window upstairs in the cottage. You may even catch a glimpse of one of our rare breed pigs in a far paddock!

A wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting.

12 AUGUST 2019

It was misrepresented in photos - it is attached to the back of the house and not an entire house at all!

Superb property. Relaxing hassle free. Could not recommend more highly

We love staying in the Coach house. It is very well appointed and in a fabulous position, affording lovely walks from the door. We will be back!

26 JULY 2018

Beautiful cottage in lovely location but very tired

18 AUGUST 2018

Thank you for your feedback. I am sad that you feel the cottage is looking tired as other reviews speak highly about the property. I will, of course pass on your comments to the owner.

19 JULY 2018

The Coach House is a beautiful, tranquil, magical place. Perfect for relaxing. The garden is fantastic. Anne is a wonderful hostess. She thinks of everything. I look forward to going back!

20 JULY 2018

Thank you so much for your lovely review for The Coach House. I am delighted that you had a splendid time there.

11 JUNE 2018

We spent a lovely week at the Coach House in Kent, the house and gardens were beautiful and it was so peaceful and relaxing. My daughter loved the rabbits and ducks. There was so much to do nearby and we visited loads of really lovely places, Penhurst Place & Hever castle were great days out! We will definitely be back.

14 MAY 2018

Excellent place to spend a weekend with my family

23 APRIL 2018

Idyllic cottage in tranquil surroundings but close to NT properties,shops, motor ways and train station. Anne, the owner was there if we needed anything but not intrusive. Would definitely stay again.

24 FEBRUARY 2018

Lovely cottage. Anne was great. Me and my bridesmaids stayed the night before my wedding. The following night me and my husband stayed. Anne made our stay everything we wanted

31 JANUARY 2018

Lovely cottage! Ideal for our family of four (parents with 10&8yo kids). Warm welcome, with kindnesses extended to providing a Christmas tree, decorations & lights - with the foresight to leave them for the kids to put on the tree :) Well heated for a cosy experience during the Christmas chill. Woke up to snow on the fields outside our windows one morning. Excellent provisions basket, with a choice of wine prior to arrival. Perfect base for visiting family & friends in Kent. Our new go-to location.

31 JANUARY 2018

What a great review for The Coach House. Thank you so much. I am delighted that you had such a lovely Christmas in Kent.

6 NOVEMBER 2017

The cottage could have been cleaner
Quite dusty on arrival

2 OCTOBER 2017

It's the most fabulous place to stay. Set in wonderful surroundings. Near to National Trust properties. The Coach House has every thing you could want in a holiday and the owner is really friendly.

25 SEPTEMBER 2017

Excellent value for money.

15 SEPTEMBER 2017

Attractive, welcoming and well-equipped cottage with a very helpful owner who lives within the grounds. All this ensures a relaxing holiday in extremely tranquil surroundings and close to many National Trust Properties

9 JULY 2017

Fantastic! Everything was great

12 JUNE 2017

For all of the reasons that I described above.

24 MAY 2017

We loved the Coach House. A great property in a beautiful tranquil setting. Really well equipped and comfortable, especially the beds! Little touches of luxury and thoughtfulness from the owner who was very helpful and welcoming. We really hope to stay again.

Lovely cottage - well equipped and beautifully presented. A nice place to spend a few days, quiet and safe with views of the sea! The welcome hamper was a great touch.

14 OCTOBER 2019

Truly an excellent little cottage in a wonderful location and Louise’s attention to detail is amazingly thorough. The property was absolutely spotlessly clean (not a speck of dust to be seen.)
Would love to stay there again.

10 OCTOBER 2019

We absolutely loved it! The cottage was wonderful, and decor was beautifully suited. The garden was safe enough for us to let the dogs out and the beach is close enough to walk to. The hamper was a lovely touch and they had thought of everything we would need. We will definitely be returning and may come with friends and book both cottages. Highly recommended.

1 OCTOBER 2019

Excellent location and cottage. First class and highly recommended

4 JULY 2019

Beautiful cottage, great location, spotlessly clean, fantastic huge garden with sea views & wonderful Joss Bay nearby, idyllic.

2 JULY 2019

Beautiful cottage, stunning views. Tastefully decorated and Louise made sure everything was perfect including the welcome hamper.
Would highly recommend Khina cottage.

23 MAY 2019

A superbly equipped very comfortable cottage with everything you could possibly need.

16 MAY 2019

The cottage was in excellent condition, very comfortable, the welcoming hamper much appreciated. Although bookable for four really more suitable for two. Plenty of local information. all up to date left for help!

Lovely cottage great space around felt very secure.great views from every window very high spec .Great beaches and very near to other interesting towns .We had a great time and we’re lucky with the weather. Would love to return .

20 SEPTEMBER 2018

Fantastic cottage in a great location. Clean and comfortable. Everything we needed and more. Good communication from housekeeper. Lovely hamper, fruit bowl and flowers to welcome us. Exceeded our expectations

30 JUNE 2018

Well presented cottage with views over the entrance to the Thames Estuary. Welcome hamper, as usual, was excellent. Broadstairs is situated conveniently for visiting Canterbury Cathedral and the various castles to be found at Deal, Walmer and Dover.
A lovely short break destination.

31 MAY 2018

Immaculate cottage with an extensive range of kitchen utensils. There was everything you needed to cook a simple meal through to an elaborate one. The decor was wonderfully simple and yet the cottage had a homely feel to it with some appropriate ornaments. Lovely quiet location with stunning views. It’s ideal placed for walking along the coast to either Ramsgate or Margate because the cottage is only 300 yards from the coast path. There is a near by sandy beach which you can walk to and there is a nice pub only approx 0.75 miles away. The garden furniture was lovely and in warm weather it would be amazing to sit on the lawn and enjoy an evening meal outdoors watching the setting sun. Many thanks to Louise for the care and attention she takes in preparing the cottage and for the amazing Welcome Hamper filled with many tasty items. We can’t wait to return to this cottage.

11 MAY 2018

Great location & character; well equipped; spotlessly clean; well thought-through hamper.

29 APRIL 2018

Beautifully decorated cottage, well equipped and very clean. A really unusual experience, watching the light at night was exciting. A proper luxury break.

24 MARCH 2018

The cottage was beautifully equipped and comfortable. The welcome basket of goodies was more than we have received elsewhere.
Louise as housekeeper was attentive, extremely helpful and responsive.
We would have given five stars except for the unreliable and slow internet connection.

7 MARCH 2018

The cottage was very clean, warm, very comfortable and the welcome hamper was generous. It was good to have Louise on the touchline and she was very helpful and made us feel welcome. The westher was dire, but that was not the fault of Rural Retreats!
Our only reservation was thst the dining table was too high for the chsirs. Msybe one of them could be lifted or made lower. The beds were comfortable and the fire in the sitting room was lovely on a freezing evening.
We loved stsying there and so msny thanks.

25 SEPTEMBER 2019

This is the loveliest cottage experience we have ever had. The cottage itself is very nicely decorated and comfortable. It could not have been cleaner--everything was sparkling. The views from the garden are beautiful, and watching the lighthouse is interesting. The best part was the welcome basket. I've never seen anything like it--bread, biscuits, cake, cheese, fruit, orange juice, milk, cereal, eggs...what am I forgetting? It was like getting a big Christmas hamper. Thank you to the wonderful caretaker, Anne, wife of the final resident lighthousekeeper. She knows how to make her former home feel like your home. Fabulous.

2 JULY 2019

Lodesman Cottage was delightful. It was extremely well appointed and spotlessly clean. The housekeeping was first rate and the location ideal for travelling around Kent.

25 JANUARY 2019

The cottage was beautifully prepared, welcoming and homely. Stunning location. The experience was beyond our expectation. Thank you.

31 MAY 2018

Beautiful cottage attached to the North Foreland lighthouse with 2 spacious upstairs bedrooms and lovely grounds adjacent to farmland and near the golf course, with parking for 2 cars. Great location above Joss Bay and a 25 minute walk to Broadstairs town, some of which is along the Eastern Esplanade. The lighthouse is still operational but we were not disturbed by the light nor any noise. There is no foghorn! The housekeeper Anne, prepared a wonderful welcome hamper including a bottle of wine to greet us. The lighthouse is no longer open to visitors anymore as we would have liked to look round again, but this did mean we had no strangers approaching the cottage during the day. We would visit again.

3 MAY 2018

The cottage was in a very nice location and had been well prepared by the Housekeeper. The sea views were lovely.

29 APRIL 2018

Beautifully decorated cottage, well equipped and very clean. A really unusual experience, watching the light at night was exciting. A proper luxury break.

6 MARCH 2018

A beautifully appointed cottage with everything you could possibly need. From the superb hamper on arrival to the thoughtful touches, such as the welcome note from housekeeper Ann, we were very impressed at what was our first experience of a Rural Retreats property. It certainly won't be our last...

Clean extremely well appointed up market property with attention to detail including a great welcome hamper. The shower broke and was mended very quickly. The person looking after the property was extremely pleasant and helpful.

Lovely, well equipped and beautifully presented cottage in idyllic countryside position.

16 MAY 2019

Although the property was clean and good there was a disappointing lack of the usual information to assist with the operation of equipment. We had to seek help with the complicated operation of the TV, and in the kitchen there were no instructions re the electric hobs/ cooker. After much trial and error we eventually got it working.

16 MAY 2019

Thank you for your feedback. I am very pleased that you thought the property clean and good - we will ask the owner to ensure that the operating instructing are clear and visible.

29 APRIL 2019

Excellent cottage with superb location

19 JULY 2018

My daughter and grandchildren really enjoyed our stay, the interior was well appointed and the lovely garden was ideal for my 3 year old grandson to run around in. I do think the flower borders could be a little better maintained and the exterior paintwork, especially when the windows were opened, needs some attention. It’s location was ideal for visiting lots of lovely places of interest.

2 JULY 2018

19 JUNE 2018

No help from owners or rural retreats

11 JUNE 2018

Beautifully appointed cottage, located in secluded rural location. Perfect for country walks and relaxation.

8 JUNE 2018

Lovely location,cottage was beautiful inside but outside needs a little
work.

28 MAY 2018

We could not fault the inside of the cottage apart from the window in the front bedroom which did not open, sashes need replacing, especially as our week was very hot and sunny! Also the French doors in the kitchen would benefit from some blinds for the same reason.
The outside of the property could certainly benefit from some tlc - the wooden cladding is looking very sad in places and the front path needs vegetation cut back leading to the front door.
Glorious peaceful week in a part of Kent we did not know. Would return.

10 APRIL 2018

Amazing cottage everything we needed for our weekend away especially loved the play room with bits for our toddler and the dog loved the large garden would like to come back in summer for longer to make full advantage of it x

26 MARCH 2018

Arrived on a really cold day.Cottage was spotless , warm and welcoming. Will definitely go again, it was so quiet and private, with a lovely outlook over fields.

9 MARCH 2018

This was a sweet, clean cottage with fantastic attention to practical details but I was totally let down by the after care. After alerting Rural Retreats to the fact that I had left a couple of chargers (laptop and camera) in a drawer in the Master Bedroom, it took two weeks for them to locate them, and now, 18 days since I first informed them, I have still not received my property. They have left me to communicate with the house cleaner directly and I am totally disappointed by their total lack of interest or involvement which is so much less professional than I would have expected. I am pretty sure an airbnb owner would have been far more helpful.

9 JANUARY 2018

It's a beautiful house surrounded by a lovely garden with plenty of places to sit outside. The owners have thoughtfully provided boules and croquet set for outside play and lots of board games for family evenings or if weather is not good. Also lots of interesting books to browse. The kitchen is excellently furnished with almost everything a person could need.

23 SEPTEMBER 2019

Beautiful house, lovely location right next to the fabulous Kingsgate beach .

21 AUGUST 2019

Lauriston was a lovely house to stay in set in a lovely location. There’s plenty of space inside and out although, sadly for us, the weather didn’t allow us to make the most of the garden.

I’ve stayed in other Rural Retreat properties in the past where standards of cleanliness were very high. Unfortunately, this one failed, especially in the kitchen. Appliances and surfaces were very greasy and I had to go and buy cleaning materials to clean it before being able to use it and put food in the fridge. The oven door came off when we opened it but we managed to secure it back in place.

Showers are somewhat dangerous with fluctuating hot and cold water and small cubicles mean there’s nowhere to escape to, particularly in the en-suite. My brother also had a very nasty experience when he sat on the edge of the bath in the family bathroom and it started to topple - I would have thought that it was an H&S requirement that this was sealed to the floor.

Despite the above, we all enjoyed our stay bringing together our family from Canada, Australia and the UK - very special memories for us all.

12 AUGUST 2019

Beautiful property and very well equipped

Lovely house. Excellent position. Facilities good. It provided what was expected from the brochure description.

20 FEBRUARY 2019

Wonderful place. Highly recommended. Great location. Fabulously furnished. Much much better than I had expected. A real gem.

22 OCTOBER 2018

It was a lovely homely house for the family to stay to celebrate my husbands 80th birthday and we had a lovely stay. As the weather was nice it would have been useful to have had the seat cushions for the outside furniture but they were locked in the garage and we weren’t given a key.
The housekeeper was most helpful and polite. The welcome hamper was a nice gesture.
My two main comments the showers needed updating for a property that is being rented out they did not have a thermostat and were freezing or too hot.
The kitchen was very well equipped but if catering for 8 people u need a large casserole and a lasagne dish/shepherds pie dish. There were plenty of saucepans and frying pans but only one small casserole. Luckily I had taken two of my own .

24 OCTOBER 2018

I am delighted that you had a lovely stay at Lauriston and thank you for your feedback. I have passed on your comments to the owner.
