Please note that this row of cottages has a “flying freehold” so that next door’s attic room is over the main bedroom, and the cottage’s attic room is over the other neighbour’s main bedroom. So you may hear footsteps on the stairs and occasional voices. It’s all self contained though. Just quirky.

Wonderful Little House in prime position

This cottage is so beautiful and homely. The kitchen was first class, everything is catered for and extremely well fitted out. Very comfortable space. The lounge is small and cosy. Wifi available and streaming services for TV if needed. The stairs were quite narrow and if you are tall you would need to watch your head but got used to them very quickly. Bathroom is excellent and shower very powerful. All clean and very spacious. Washing machine in bathroom. Both bedrooms really comfy, teenagers stayed in twin beds in attic room comfortably. Lovely quiet area, easy to walk everywhere and parking space available if needed. Tesco supermarket 2 min walk. Pubs and restaurants in Town centre only a few mins walk. Be aware of neighbours as noise travels easily and it was weird to hear them walking in room above at first but got used to it. Overall excellent property, extremely clean and well looked after by hosts. Loved visiting Little House.

Great place in a great town

Lovely small property on the main High Street of Tenterden, but well set back from the road so no noise issue. The property is very well equipped with everything you might require. The town has plenty of different places to eat and supermarkets if you prefer to cook. An excellent stay.

Perfect little house

Sweet little old house with nicely equipped modern kitchen and bath, and very accommodating host. Could not be more convenient to the shops and restaurants. Do take the property description seriously when it talks about awkward stairs - there are excellent handrails on the steep, narrow, twisting climb to the loo and upper bedroom beyond but it would not be fun for the mobility challenged. For us it just added to the cottage charm.

Lovely stay

Very well and helpfully appointed with welcoming touches. Very clean with games etc available which is helpful. Excellent position close to all requirements, beds were comfy & despite being in the high street it was quiet at night. Stairs are indeed narrow as described in the accommodation description accurately. Large bathroom with good flow shower. 😁

Perfect retreat

The minute I walked in, I felt right at home. The location couldn’t be better, (try the Italian restaurant next door!) quiet neighbors and perfect parking spot. The kitchen is recently redone and the bathroom has a great shower/bath. I appreciated the logs provided for the wood burner which made my evenings so cozy. The bed was comfortable with high quality linens. I’d stay here many times over!

Cosy, ideal location and quirky property

Very well equipped property in the heart of Tenterden, close to shops, restaurants and pubs. Steam train only 5 mins away. Great for adults and small families. Owner is very helpful and responds quickly to questions. Good location for walks, castles and wineries. Would certainly rent it again.

Cosy & Comfortable - I'll be back!

Cosy & Comfortable, somewhere to relax without worrying. I could have happily moved in permanently! Lovely wood-burning stove for atmosphere in the living room. Long bath to immerse in after a day exploring. Kitchen had everything including a comfy table at which to eat. Would benefit from a washing machine and a plug for the kitchen sink. Watch out for the gate to the garage - it swings in the wind and hit the car - wedge it open if you can whilst maneuvering.

Das Haus ist ein Juwel! / The house is a gem!

Das Haus ist vernünftig, großzügig, bequem und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und ausgestattet; alles hat gestimmt, wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Unsere Gastgeberin war zugewandt aber unaufdringlich. Tenterden ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Familienferien in Kent. The house is very sensibly, comfortably, generously and tastefully equipped and furnished; we really enjoyed staying there. We felt well cared for by our hostess and Tenterden is a perfect location for a family holiday in Kent

Perfect location

The cottage is in the perfect location for Tenterden and being able to just wander out for an evening for a meal . It is spotlessly clean with all that you would need but I don’t think I would be happy with a child on the stairs . What we didn’t realise that the room above the main bedroom belongs to the cottage next door and the first time we heard the unexpected sounds above us it did surprise us . It is the perfect cottage for a couple but we would not want to stay with more than just us .

Weekend break in Tenterden

We picked Tenterden as a base for exploring some places in Kent. Great choice! It’s a charming town that punches well above its size in terms of restaurant and shop choices. The cottage is ideally situated and was perfect for our needs. Extremely comfortable and very homely and character-full.

Lovely cottage in a lovely area

This cottage is located on an exceptionally pretty high street that is typical of Kent at its very best. The cottage itself is well equipped and has a back garden (long and thin) that is good for sitting out in for meals and drinks. There are many attractive local walks and bike rides from Tenterden, and the town itself has a nice 'bustle' to it. Shops, restaurants, etc., are easily accessible.
