Cottage vacation rentals in Canterbury

Larissa's place is wonderful and provided the perfect space for our needs. The garden is HUGE and access to the hot tub was a bonus too. The accommodation was well appointed with everything we needed and very homely. We had a very warm welcome and I would highly recommend this place to others.

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.

Lovely away from it all cabin with an excellent dog friendly garden and a hot tub we sadly couldn’t fit in the car 😂. Recharged our batteries with a lovely 4 day break. Thank you for letting us stay we had such a great time. X

A truly lovely space. Would recommend to anyone and would happily go back again.

A tranquil and peaceful little spot perfect for a couples getaway. We did some hiking up towards the coastline and took a trip to the lovely Canterbury City which is a short drive away. Overall a great weekend away and highly recommended.

We enjoyed a wonderful long Easter weekend in this charming cottage. The space was cozy and perfectly appointed, lots of old charm - original cottage was built in 1550! - and special touches that delighted our children and made us feel like we were in quite a magical little space. The gardens are beyond gorgeous and just a lovely space to sit in the sunshine and watch our children play. It was a wonderful weekend filled with children’s laughter, bird song and cozy nights by the fire as a family. Thank you Tim & Maite for sharing your gorgeous cottage with us. The children are already asking we come back soon!

A perfectly relaxing and rejuvenating stay at Blackthorn was just what my wife and I needed! Quiet, comfy and spotlessly clean we enjoyed the lovely vista from the veranda, our swims in the pool and soaks in the hot tub. Peter and Karen made us feel so welcome and gave us the benefit of their extensive local knowledge with recommendations for eating out and places to visit. An absolutely ideal retreat for seeing the many local attractions or to maybe stay on site to make the most of the lovely relaxing setting. We look forward to visiting again.

Lovely house perfect for a special gathering. Lots of different zones to break out into. Lovely big garden too. Very comfortable and homely

The cottage was immaculately clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and very good value for money. There are lots of lovely walks from the doorstep. The Plough was very good and just a few minutes up the lane. We chose to eat in on our second night to make the most of the cottage and views. We hope to return again, with bikes next time.

Nice peaceful place and comfortable modern spot for a good bit of fresh air and de-stress! Thank you for your hospitality we will return.

What a wonderful stay! Mr Catts house is in beautiful surroundings just outside of Rye. Perfectly located and extremely well equipped! We found it brilliant with our young daughter, everything is there that you need - even a proper cot! The house itself has everything required for a really comfortable stay and more! The beds are so comfy and the high quality bedding and towels felt homely. Ruth is a wonderful host! A glorious stay - Thank you!

Everything was great and as described with a perfect location close to the sea front. Stephen was friendly and made us feel welcome upon arrival so it was easy to settle in and relax. A well deserved five stars!

We would like to say a big thank you. We had a fantastic weekend stay at this property. The garden was 100% safe for our dog and we found it nice and quiet, surrounded by nature and orchards. Mark had left lots of leaflets showing what's going on in the area, and was very kind to recommend places to visit and eat/drink. The accommodation was designed and decorated with alot of thought and attention to detail, to establish a very comfortable stay. We will certainly be visiting again.

We booked Dani’s house to have a few days away with our 4 young granddaughters. The house was perfect. Very well equipped with lots of board games for the girls. We ate in every day and the kitchen/dining room was great for big family meals. The house itself is really pretty in a private, small estate, that is very quiet. It’s cosy and homey inside with lots of personal touches. The bus stop is just round the corner on the main road. The beach is about a 5 minute walk the other side of the main road. However the climb up the dunes takes a little longer…they almost did nanny in 😂. But it was absolutely worth the climb! Beautiful, never ending beach. There is an easier walk onto the beach next to the car park further down. Dani was very helpful at all times. She should be very proud of her lovely house. Anny London

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is so pretty and light with a beautiful garden and view to sit out in. Lots of birdsong. It worked well for our family of 4 adults. The beds were comfortable and it had everything we needed. It probably works best if you have a car and then it's easy to get to Rye, Camber Sands and Hastings. Lou recommended lovely restaurants and we had a very relaxing weekend. Thank you.

The Beach Boutique is the cosiest and perfect place to stay if you’re looking for something in this part of the world. There was everything you could ever need and of the highest quality too. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed somewhere where they really had thought of everything for such a comfortable stay! It was only a short drive from the lovely Rye and other local beauty spots. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I along with our 2 dogs stayed at Brenda’s lovely cottage. We were greeted with fresh bread, eggs, condiments, fruit and a beautifully clean cottage. The garden was amazing and we enjoyed our dog walks at the local beach. Would definitely recommend and Brenda is a very kind and attentive lady. Many thanks Jo, Justin, Elbie and Elsie xx

We loved staying at Rosie’s cottage. The location was perfect for us as it was easy to walk to the beach each day and coming home to the peace and quiet of the cottage and garden was ideal. The cottage lay-out is good and there is plenty of space for our family of 5 to relax and have our own areas to unwind. We’ll be back I hope!

We’ve enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at Dawn’s place in Sandwich. It’s a beautiful cottage and we felt right at home straight away. Very cosy and with a lovely garden and the perfect location to get around Sandwich easily. We also visited Deal which was an easy journey by public transport. We’ve already decided we will be back - thank you Dawn for making us feel so welcome! 🤗

A real gem in a very peaceful, private, rural location, within easy distance of Rye and many local places of interest. Bridget has created a very special place to stay. Welcoming and beautifully decorated, very clean, well thought through with everything you need to enjoy feeling 'at home' in the Cottage. Very well appointed. Very comfortable bed, large bedroom, wonderful shower, and great kitchen. Wonderful walks for miles from the doorstep with our 2 collies, along public footpaths and through the family farm, with glorious views of the countryside all around. Lots of wildlife and birdsong to enjoy. Highly recommend. We'll be back!

Great cottage in a beautiful location. Garden, and the snowdrops were stunning. The only downside was the very low ceilings. Anyone of average height is likely to hit their head on the beam in the kitchen. This was mentioned in other reviews, and expected in an old cottage, but was not mentioned in the description.

Lovely cottage, very clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. Fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. The area is stunning, you come off the busy motorway to within minutes being in a rural very peaceful setting which was perfect for a short little break away for our family and 2 little dogs. We had some lovely walks and the local pub only a 10 minute walk away was also excellent and very accommodating. My only negative was that the garden was not managed and quite over grown. The weather was lovely and we sat outside for breakfasts so it was a shame that the same attention had not been paid to the outside space, which i do feel is important. This aside Lulu was a great host and we had a fantastic break away, I would definately recommend.

Jo's place is very charming, cozy, and pretty. The garden is beautiful in April. We loved watching the sunset and the badger cam. The amenities are hard to beat -- Jo has really anticipated everything you need. We made good use of the breakfast items she left for us. The local knowledge she imparted to us was also useful on our walks through the Kentish countryside. Leave time for a walk to a meal at the Five Bells - the chicken and bacon pie was fabulous!

Lovely cottage. Very spacious. Nicely furnished. Good WiFi. The courtyard is a nice suntrap and was a secure place for our Yorkshire terrier to potter around. Jane could not have been more helpful. Will definitely visit again. Rye is a beautiful town. Very dog friendly. Enjoyed good wine and a splendid Ribeye steak at The George Inn.
