Guests consistently praise its cleanliness, peaceful location, and well-equipped interiors, with comfortable beds and good facilities. The property is dog-friendly and offers lovely walks nearby. Some guests noted minor issues with lounge seating, soundproofing, and WiFi, but these did not detract from an overall enjoyable and relaxing stay. The hosts are responsive and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience for visitors.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as clean, well-maintained, and tidy. Only minor issues such as a kettle needing descaling and a vacuum filter needing emptying were mentioned, but these were isolated and did not affect the overall impression.
The location is frequently described as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for exploring Kent, Canterbury, and the coast. Guests appreciate the rural setting, proximity to local pubs, and easy access to attractions, with only minor comments about narrow lanes.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and the property spacious. However, several reviews mention issues with lounge seating for four adults and soundproofing between floors, which affected the overall comfort for some guests.
The cottage is praised for being well-equipped with modern conveniences and spacious rooms. Minor issues included WiFi reliability, lack of privacy in bedrooms, and absence of heated towel rails, but these were outweighed by the positive feedback.

Preston is located just outside of the historic and very pretty city of Canterbury, renowned for its cathedral, city walls, and general beauty! The beach isn’t far either if guests wanted to mix up their holiday and visit Ramsgate, Broadstairs, or Margate for long stretches of golden sands and traditional fish and chips. Alternatively, there is Whitstable, Sandwich, Deal, Dover, and Folkestone for varied days out from adventure parks, water parks, golf (various world-renowned courses locally), fishing, multiple zoos and so much more for all to enjoy. Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses.
Canterbury Cathedral, founded in 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows. Visit Canterbury and discover why this beautiful, ancient city is one of the jewels in Kent’s crown. The historic city is less than an hour from London by train, and just 10 minutes from some of Kent’s beautiful beaches, it is the perfect city break for anyone in the mood for gorgeous medieval streets, great food and drink, and cultural getaways.

Superb location and very comfortable bedrooms, but we did find the settee rather uncomfortable and sat on the dining chairs instead!

This was well maintained quality accommodation. We visited with our dog and there are plenty of walks on the doorstep. The few problems we had were quickly dealt with. The location is quite remote accessed via narrow lanes and local drivers don’t always seem to remember that! Easy access to Canterbury and the coastal towns. Sandwich is particularly attractive .

The accommodation was good and adequate for our needs. It would have been better if the huge 6ft bed could have been 2 singles.Whilst the underfloor heating was ok, there was nowhere to dry towels without a heated rail or radiator. With 4 adults in there it could have been a big problem. We were only 2 adults and a 10 year old but it was still annoying.The location was great. In the middle of nowhere. Just what we wanted!
