A Wonderful Place and an Exceptional Host
By Sarah Hickman on 24-Jun-2026I stayed at Little Lodge Cottage while my son was taking his exams at the University of Kent, and the location could not have been more perfect - right next to the university grounds and so convenient, with access to the city centre and surrounding areas; it’s just ideal. The cottage itself is beautiful, exceptionally clean, comfortable and very well equipped - a little home away from home. What made my stay truly special was Mikal. She is one of the most genuine and kind people I have ever met. I had a personal issue while I was there, and she was incredibly thoughtful, caring and supportive. Her warmth and hospitality made such a difference and I felt genuinely looked after. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough. A wonderful place to stay and an exceptional host. If you are thinking of booking please do not hesitate, you will not regret it.
Beautiful Cottage and Peaceful Surroundings!
By Vanessa on 03-Jan-2025Mikal was a fantastic host and made us feel right at home at this beautiful cottage! This was an excellent break (and escape) from inner city London life - we really appreciated the quiet environment, as well as being surrounded by beautiful scenery. We will certainly be back! Thanks again!
Beautifully Appointed With Everything We Needed!
By Lisa on 19-May-2025Mikal's place was quaint and beautifully appointed with everything we needed. Loved meeting her and her pup. The cottage is on her property. She was available and responsive. Her photos look like the actual property and she is detailed with instructions. She has taken all guessing out. It is up to us to read her instructions and everything goes smoothly. The only thing we were missing was a freezer. Americans use a lot of ice. A refrigerator is available, but no place to store or make ice. It was fine, just unusual for us.
Exactly as described and Well Equipped!
By Natalie on 11-Jan-2025Lovely stay at the cottage. Exactly as described. Mikal kept in contact throughout and let us know of any changes (really appreciated the heating coming on before we arrived!) It is noisy by the road however this is mentioned, we didn’t hear anything from the lounge and after 10pm it was quiet and both slept very well! The cottage had everything we needed for a one nighter and is very close to the centre with a car so was perfect. Thank you again Mikal
Cute, Cosy and Highly Recommended!
By Caroline on 21-Mar-2025We had a great stay with our bulldog. Very fast and responsive communication, clear instructions, easy to check in and out. The place is very well kept, everything you could need, cute and cozy. Highly recommend!
Friendly Host and Beautiful Cottage!
By Andrew on 06-Mar-2025Lovely cottage and Mikal was a very friendly and accommodating host. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need. Very much recommended if looking to stay in Canterbury or the surrounding areas.
