    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Robert - Verified booking

      The cottage was lovely and a good size for our party of six.

      It was spoilt by some of the issues we had. No instructions for putting out the waste or recycling. We stacked our waste at the rear of the garage along with previous waste that had not been disposed of. It was very smelly and an obvious health hazard. Packet of rolls with a 2023 date on found in back of cupboard. The floors in the showers and in the bath were very slippery when wet. Bath mats or anti slip system would solve this. There was mould on the ceiling in the ensuite bathroom and adjacent bedroom. More saucepans of various sizes needed. Helpful, easy to read advice on how to use microwave , oven etc, Used sanitary items left in bedroom bin. Single toilet seat cracked and stained. Not able to use outside seating area as it needed cleaning to get rid of green algae. Because the front door is very stiff to open and close handles would be very helpful. The keybox was very hard to find on arrival and so low down was difficult to use. Instructions on where it was located would be useful.

      Absolutely fantastic restoration.

      Beautifully equipped. Lovely location. Loads of wildlife just outside the door. Hares, Munt Jacks. Fallow deer. Squirrels. Pheasants. Several NT EH properties within easy distance. 3 Pigeons pub 2 miles away best in village. We took a MiFi unit and Firestick as no smart TV in property, This worked perfectly for us. Please be aware there is a dog kennels 500 yards away and the dogs start barking at 5am. until they are fed and walked at 10am Also unfortunately the noise from Stansted flight path I found extremely disturbing. Others may not find this a problem. but do think this should be in listing, had it been we would not have booked.

    • Jacqui - Verified booking

      It is in a very nice location and the owners are very nice poeple.

      Whilst the bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable the cottage is let down by the lounge which is on the small side and the furniture which is not very comfortable. The off road parking is under a fig tree and consequently the car gets covered in poo. There is also a parking space on the road, but the road is fairly narrow so did not consider it wise to use it. The bathroom is great but there has to be a 20 min wait between showers as they are not on mains water. This was fine for the two of us but something to consider if more people are staying there. The kitchen is large and well provided but there is no storage space.

    • Paul - Verified booking

      We had a lovely stay at The Gate House over Easter.

      George and Fiona provided a very warm welcome and a generous package of supplies, including an Easter egg for the boys which they enjoyed. Nothing was too much trouble for George and Fiona, and the unending supply of logs for the fireplace was much appreciated, making for a warm and cozy stay. The beds were comfortable, the shower always warm and strong, and there was plenty of room for family meals in the kitchen. The location was quiet, being out in the countryside, and some nice walks directly from the house were possible. We would highly recommend a stay at The Gate House, as we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.

    • Carol - Verified booking

      What a fantastic and quirky property the Brake Wagon is, surrounded by farmland and woods.

      We saw Deer, Munt Jacks, Hares, Pheasants and 2 friendly Squirrels every day. The Wagon had been restored perfectly, plenty of room for 2 people. Equipped with everything you could want, just wished we had took a pair of binoculars. James, the owner was a very nice and friendly young man, would like to thank him for the lovely welcome pack. Plus tea, coffee, sugar, milk and a pack of crumpets, just what we were ready for when we arrived. Would definitely recommend this property. Carol & Derek 30th September

    Strategically placed astride the London Road, guarding an important crossing of the River Medway, this imposing fortress has a complex history of destruction and rebuilding. Today it stands as a proud reminder of the history of Rochester along with the cathedral and cobbled streets.
