Tiny home in Hernhill
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 115 reviewsRomantic countryside hideaway
Our romantic stay at this Airbnb was incredible! The attention to detail and thoughtful amenities, including the little treats in the fridge, made it feel so special. Dinner at The Red Lion was fantastic—highly recommended—but we’d skip the other local pub. Honestly, the accommodation was so gorgeous we were more than happy to just soak it all in. And relax in the hot tub. Tracy was lovely and so accommodating! Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for the early check in and late check out. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to come back!

A wonderful place in a great location, only a 10minute drive from the heart of Canterbury and still peaceful and quiet. Great woods across the road for morning walks. The house is spacious with all the amenities you will need. We really enjoyed our stay there!

4.72 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviewsBig House By The Sea
Amazing house and location to spend NYE in - really great size for a group of 8 of us and lovely very handy location. Lovely communal area and bedrooms were ideal. Bottle of fizz for NY was a lovely touch! Only a couple of small issues for next time to be aware of -the WIFI connection to the TV didn't really work and the beds were quite uncomfortable in the upper floor rooms. But for a night or two it's no issue.
Bungalow in Medway
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsLuxury Bungalow with Wheelchair access and hot tub
This place is beyond amazing. I booked this as a private get away for me and my partner and when I arrived it felt homely instantly. The decor in this place is so elegant and exactly like the pictures! The hosts Jaime and Ricki are so friendly and helpful and answered any questions I had. We even got to use the hot tub before the weather got awful. 10/10 this place is a gem and will hold a lovely memory to cherish with my partner. I would definitely rebook if i visit kent again!
Apartment in Westbrook
5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsBright Modern Holiday Villa
I booked Craig’s Airbnb to celebrate my birthday with a few friends, and I must say that we were impressed with every single detail of the place! We discovered shortly after that it used to be a butcher shop and they re-used the black and white tiles which added a sweet touch to the property. Craig was very responsive and made us feel at home. We would have loved to stay longer!
Apartment in Greatstone

What can we say. Julie is an exceptional host, extremely helpful and responsive. She made us feel like home from home, and very welcome in so many ways, all the lovely touches on our recent stay over Christmas and NY. For us the caravan is just perfect, the beach is probably our best beach around. Local takeaway shops in walking distance. I would highly recommend any booking with Julie, outstanding service and accommodation. Lee & Kelly.

We had such a lovely stay over new year. The house was in a perfect location and we had more than enough space for 6 adults to all dine and enjoy. Communication with the hosts was good, the house was easy to find and getting access was no trouble at all. The perfect stay!

Home in St. Margaret's bay
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 246 reviewsModern family home, close to beach
We stayed in this lovely house over New Year’s to celebrate a birthday, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The house is wonderful—thoughtfully designed with everything you need for a relaxing few days away with friends. The living room was especially cosy and homely, with plenty of space for all seven of us to gather comfortably. The overall feel of the place is modern yet welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side, so we didn’t explore as much as we’d hoped, but the village looks charming and worth a visit in better conditions. Luckily it meant we had more time to enjoy the hot tub in the back garden! The hosts were fantastic—responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us to ring in the New Year. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to others!

Home in Rotherfield
5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsThe Bainden, Private Hot Tub All Year Round 2BED
Stayed with my Husband for his birthday as a getaway with 2 friends. The house is beautiful and has a very warm homely feel to it. Megan was very helpful with recommendations for food and other questions we may have had. The house was extremely clean and tidy and had everything it needed, beautiful lay out of the house inside and out including the hot tub in the garden which was lovely and warm! We loved that we could park on the drive and venture out as and when we wanted to as easy access to the town and surrounding areas. We found the atheistic of the home beautiful and we are using it as inspiration for our own home! We shall we be returning often and already looking forward to our next stay.
Vacation home in Leysdown-on-Sea
5 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviewsBeautiful 2 bedroom seaside retreat great location
We've had a nice August Bank Holiday weekend at Lee's place. The caravan was clean, tidy and well looked after. A travel cot and a high chair were both available, which really helped us. There was a chilled bottle in the fridge (for adults) and games and books available (for kids). It was very thoughtful of Lee. It was a shame that the Saturday was an absolute washout and we couldn't explore the area. But this is the British summer for you! You would need to buy a day pass for any entertainment (5min walk from the caravan). However, only the swimming and the entrance to the pub and the arcade is included in the day pass. Any other activities you wish to try need to be paid for separately. Also it's worth checking swimming availability first, before purchasing the day pass, as swim times are limited. The bakery just round the corner on the main street was a great discovery. Nice walks with the kids by the sea were good too. Lee's place was great and he is a very good host.
