Leave ReviewAmazing stay
By Anita and Maurice on 21-Sep-2025Bev and John have created a wonderful haven. The cleanliness is beyond anything we have previously found in a self catering property, you really feel like you are the first visitors. The welcome pack and wonderful baked goodies were fantastic and so very welcome, again exceeded any previous holiday. The cottage is extremely well equipped, the hosts have put so much thought into what is needed and so much more! We visited 6 beautiful National Trust properties and Hever Castle all within easy driving distance. Overall a wonderful stay with very friendly and welcoming hosts who make you feel so comfortable and are there if needed but give you absolute privacy if you prefer. Thank you again, Bev and John

Thank you Anita and Maurice for such kind and wonderful words. Lovely to meet you both.
A great place to stay
By Irene and Norman on 21-Aug-2025Kath's Cottage is absolutely charming, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and tucked away with a gorgeous garden. John and Bev are excellent hosts and have obviously put a lot of thought into making the cottage as comfortable and relaxing as possible for guests. The generous welcome pack, including home-baked treats, was very much appreciated. We highly recommend staying here and hope to return.

A delight !
By Peter & Margaret Burrell on 11-Jul-2025Such a perfectly appointed and positioned cottage with all the amenities you could possibly need along with fantastic hosts Bev and John. Attention to detail is obviously paramount to them. So well situated for exploring Kent. Would fully recommend (and we rarely do reviews).
Perfect in every way...incredible
By Paul and Gwen Watkins on 01-Jun-2025When reading previous reviews about the cottage and hosts, Beverley & John, it's now very easy to see why they get such high praise. The cottage is excellent and has everything required to make it a fantastic stay. It was 12 days of pure bliss for us.....the beautiful wild garden attracts a number of birds that kept us amused in the morning and the sound of horses in the background just transports you to a place of tranquility...we can't praise it highly enough....if you have not stayed here...you should as its fantastic. This is all supported by Beverley and John who are, by far, the best hosts we have ever encountered and we are very well travelled. As soon as we arrived they were attentive and chatting like we known them for years. Beverley had provided homemade bread, cake and scones....delicious...and they were there for us throughout our stay to advise and suggest places of interest. Above all, they are wonderful human beings who provide a service that is second to none.

Hi Paul and Gwen, Wow, thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was an honour to meet you both, we're so happy you enjoyed your stay with us. We're pleased that you appreciated the wild garden and John's bird friends! Hopefully, we'll meet again. Bev & John
Usual High standard.
By Colin on 01-Apr-2025Wonderful relaxing, stress free stay. This was my third visit to Kaths Cottage. They were both asked if I needed anything, at the beginning and said to come up to the house if there was a problem. I was lucky with the weather sunny and warm for seven days. Visited the coast and up to London, plus enjoyed the many places to walk locally. I hope to return later in the year. Thanks again for making the holiday so easy and stress free
Excellent cottage and hosts
By Sharon and Richard on 15-Mar-2025Kath's is a charming cottage - excellent accommodation , cosy , very clean and well equipped with great attention to detail. It's an excellent location for visiting NT properties and exploring Kent. Greeted on arrival there was also a very generous welcome hamper including superb home made goodies. Bev and John were excellent hosts from their initial prompt enquiry responses to their warm welcome and friendly, helpful manner. We would certainly recommend the property and hosts. We would love to return.
