Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in City of Canterbury

Just about as good as it gets! In a beautiful garden setting with lily ponds. The garden room has its own kitchen and everything you could need is provided. The bed is comfortable and the unit is superclean. No TV but take a book and watch the butterflies on the buddlea instead.

Don’t bother reading more reviews, go ahead and book this place. Trust me, just do it. We stayed there with our little ones (younger than 4). We all loved it. By the end of the day, the children were sitting in Sue’s lap and playing with her dog Alfie (really friendly and great with children). You can’t get that type of human experience in a 5 star hotel, regardless of how much you tip. The house is welcoming, the grounds are spacious and fun for the family to explore, but the best thing about this place is the hostess, Sue.

The place is beautiful and near food establishments. Also, the house is clean and well-ventilated. The host always takes care of us and our needs.

All the staff were extremely friendly. Room was spacious and comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean. Shower was good. Restaurant served a good variety of food. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you for a nice stay.

When I walked into the house, my first thought was; what in the Jane Austen fantasy did I walk into? The house is phenomenal! Truly an honour to be able to stay here. The room is gorgeous as well, as is the garden. And this is all besides the wonderfully gracious hosts. Kate and Peter are kind and considerate, we felt completely at home. It was a shame we didn’t stay here longer, we would 100% come back, both for the house and the hosts.

Had a wonderful stay in Margate, with a wonderful host. Kathleen was welcoming to her home and very friendly, she had good knowledge of the area and was able to provide recommendations on local amenities. The house itself was warm, quiet and cosy, taking about 15 minutes to walk into Margate Old Town.. if you like the beach, its a 2 minute stroll down the road. Would definitely stay again!

A beautiful home that is such a pleasant surprise when you step inside, the kitchen is the perfect space for groups to enjoy! the house is located close to the beach and about 15 mins to the train station so ideal for popping to other areas such as Margate. Hosts really responsive and made our stay easy with the detailed instructions & recommendations

We had the absolute best time staying at Boldshaves. D and Peregrine were wonderful hosts! They were so accommodating and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The grounds are incredible and seemed almost endless! Truly, I don’t think I have seen such beautiful gardens. The bedrooms were quite big—perfect for letting our luggage breathe a bit—and the beds were so comfortable. The breakfast was also really fantastic with so many special touches!! We feel really fortunate that we found this gem. It was the highlight of our trip!!

Super host status definitely justified -Christopher was so helpful and even showed us around his beautiful designer garden and made local trip suggestions. I went with him to his lovely church too for a wonderful sung Eucharist. Quirky and very lovely house with a separate ‘wing’ for our bedrooms and 2 bathrooms all for our small (3) party. So peaceful and comfortable . The two dogs, Sammie and Roughus(?) were also gorgeous . Good quality continental breakfast and access to kitchen and lounge made our break a ‘home from home’ too. Thank you Benjamin.

Very comfy bed. Lush breakfast. Beautiful garden to enjoy the sunset. And a railway carriage for a lounge. What’s not to like? Fab space and excellent hosts. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Julia is lovely, as is her home. Pre my daughter’s driving test in Folkestone, many miles from home, nerves were slightly on the edge. Julia and her home made for a peaceful pre test stay. And she passed!

Great hosts. Both made me feel very welcome and comfortable. Accomodation was clean, in well kept order and in an area very close to the sea too. Excellent service going above and beyond to even exceed expectations!

It was a lovely stay - between the great hosts, cozy room and lovely breakfast every morning, we couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Really lovely people who were so welcoming and warm. We had a great chat with them both- very interesting people. Breakfast was scrumptious. Thank you both very much for a lovely stay and for being such amazing hosts ❤️😍🥰

We had a comfortable stay with Judith. The location was peaceful and private with excellent secure parking which was important to us. Judith supplied us with tea, coffee, homemade cakes and jams. Thank you for your hospitality Judith.

Honestly, spending time at Rachael’s place will not disappoint. Every part of our stay was a treat, from the history of the building to Rachael’s personable hospitality and wonderful cooking. This is a stay with heart, highly recommend *****

Richard rang us before we arrived, with helpful information. We had no problems accessing the property, even though he was out at the time. The room was exactly as shown in the photos and described. It was quiet and comfortable. The house was truly delightful and the garden gorgeous. We were visiting family nearby, so will certainly stay with Richard again, should the need arise.

Great environment, great host, great experience.

Celest welcomed us to her home and it was such a pleasant stay! Our room was clean. Linens were fresh. All amenities are provided. Breakfast was absolutely stellar with cheese board, toast, yogurt and other food we can't remember. View from the breakfast table was a cherry on top. Celest even went out of her way to lend us a walking guide book which we had followed. We were extremely happy with everything. I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a quiet holiday with a friendly host.

Sarah greeted us and gave us the warmest welcome, this was an absolutely perfect countryside escape! We had the most wonderful stay in this beautifully converted stable, tucked away in the stunning Kent countryside. The setting is peaceful and picturesque – a true retreat from the hustle and bustle. The space itself was spotlessly clean and styled to perfection, with a lovely blend of charm and comfort. The bed linens were luxurious and incredibly comfortable, and there were so many thoughtful touches throughout that made the stay feel extra special. Every detail had clearly been considered with care. We wouldn’t hesitate to return – a real hidden gem!

Such a lovely peaceful spot in the countryside. we only stayed a night as we had a nearby wedding, but would happily stay longer. Breakfast was a lovely touch also. Highly recommended

We were a group of seven friends, meeting for a reunion, average age 70ish! Beautiful house, well equipped and furnished, beds were very comfortable. Very peaceful area. Everything you needed in the kitchen, Aga kept everywhere warm, conventional cooker too, plenty of hot water for showers/bath. We were fortunate to have good weather, so ate out on the lovely terrace. Beautiful rambling garden. Only about 2 miles from Rye, so easy drive, we also walked there on the footpaths from Houghton Lane, across the fields, easy walk. We had 4 cars, and could park them all. Would love to stay there again.

Excellent Host, very kind. She provided extra toys for our 1 year old. There is a huge extra "play" room with large tv, pooltable where we could enjoy some quality time with our family. The room was clean and cosy with it's own bathroom. I recommend it to everyone to stay here

Really enjoyed our stay here. Good spacious room with good amenities and really friendly staff. Comfy beds and lovely bath! Even your own coffee machine.
