A relaxing stay
We had a lovely break at Hop Cottage. The setting is so relaxing especially sitting in the hot tub looking out over the lake and watching the wildlife. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Absolutely lovely!
This beautiful cottage was ideal for us (three generations and dog) as it had everything we needed. Lots of space, lovely views, peace and quiet but also only a short drive to local towns, pubs and shops with Whitstable and other beaches just a little further. The cottage was really clean and tidy, the beds comfy and cosy and the garden was very safe for our dog as the owners had secured the fences and there was plenty of space for him to run around. A big plus for us was the jacuzzi with some wonderful views over a little lake with lots of birds and wildlife to watch while relaxing. The owners, Wendy and Nigel, were so helpful right from the moment we booked and answered all of our queries really quickly about the local area etc. Once we arrived we had a lovely welcome visit from Wendy who showed us around the place and made us feel really welcome. We are already planning our next visit to this hidden gem within the next few months for our next fix of relaxation. Thank you so much Nigel and Wendy, it was perfect! 😃

Family holiday
Very good overall, only one or two minor issues eg. electric shaver points not working, would have liked at least one change of towels and grass in garden needed cutting by the end of our stay.

Lovely Location
The property was lovely - perfect spot. The ONLY downside was that you could hear children in the next cottage in one of the bedrooms. Other than that it was great. Well equipped, tidy and clean. The hot tub was great and the ping pong table kept the kids amused. Scenery was idyllic and very quiet location.

A lovely relaxing stay
We all had a very relaxing time at Hop Cottage. We had everything we needed and even amazing weather too! Nigel was extremely helpful on our arrival as it was late and he checked we arrived safely with his clear directions. It was great to be away from it all at the same time as being able to travel easily to many lovely destinations. Thanks to Wendy and Nigel for our amazing stay in Kent.

Not impressed at all and definitely not 5star like you as you described it
I will be sending you some pictures. Conservatory: dirty frames and torn curtains. Spare toilet has never seen a bit of bleach for a long time. Games room unfinished. Garden not kept. The water does not run quick enough in the bathrooms sink. The surrounding is fantastic but the cottage did put a damp on our holiday It is definitely not worth what we paid for it for a week. I think you should also need to mention that there are no taxi about.

Wonderful quiet beautiful cottage
This is an absolutely stunning cottage. We only got to enjoy a couple of days here due to work commitments. However our stay received a warm welcome from the owners and the cottage certainly lived up to more than our expectations. The cottage was exceptionally clean and comfortable set in beautiful surroundings. We will defiantly want to stay here again 😁😁😁😁😁

Fantastic stay
Great cottage! Our group (8 friends) stayed over new years and we felt very welcomed (champagne glasses were even provided). We love the cottage and are talking about coming again in summer so we can swim in the lake. The cottage has loads of space for social activities and is very comfortable. Despite the fog when we visited, the views and area surrounding the cottage is beautiful and the pub is not too far to walk to either. The location is convenient for being close enough to places like Canterbury- where we went for a day trip but once at the cottage, it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere which is great for that time away feeling. The property itself was clean with towels provided. The layout works very well with a spacious sitting room (including sofa bed), a well designed kitchen, a dining area and a conservatory which was great as a second social space. Fantastic place which we'd all definitely recommend!

Unfortunately the cottage did not live up to the fantastic description of it.
Whilst we enjoyed our holiday in Kent and admittedly the cottage was in a beautiful location it was sadly lacking in lots of ways. Luxurious should not be used to describe it, and the equipment is not high quality! It states in the description that the bathrooms had recently been refurbished, the smaller one with the bath had not been and the shower head was broken. The en suite was newer but the roller blind was broken, the net curtain dirty and the shower head needed de scaling. My. Mother who is 90 needed the walk in shower and having arrived on Wednesday did not have any hot water until the Saturday because of a fault with the boiler, not the owners fault I know but never the less not good. The crockery etc in the kitchen needed an up date and we did not use the BBQ as it was dirty when we arrived. I could go on! I was loathe to send you this review as I realise that the renting of the cottages is part of the owners livelihood but I feel that having paid a substantial amount for the week it needed to be said as other clients will look at the description and will form the same impression of it as we did and will be equally disappointed. Regards, Karen Brooks.

Gezellige huiselijke woning met grote eigen tuin en zitje
Prima woning, geschikt voor 6 mensen met 2 badkamers. Grote tuin met zitje en gratis gebruik van hot-tub. Aardige verhuurders die naast de woning wonen. Eieren van de eigen kippen te koop. Zeer rustige omgeving!

Fantastische woning
De woning ligt op een rustige plek. Aardige verhuurders. Het huis ligt centraal in Kent, in een half uur rijden loop je over het strand bij New Romney, ook plaatsen als Canterbury en Ashfort zijn makkelijk te bereiken. In de woning is van alles aanwezig zoals kruiden en vaatwastabletten. Het huis ziet er netjes en schoon uit. Een echte aanrader dus! In het plaatsje Chillam kun je bij The Withe Horse lekkere fish en chips eten. Ook een leuk dagje uit is met de trein van Hythe naar Dungeness. Leuke tocht langs de kustlijn. Veel plezier tijdens het verblijf in Challock!

Vriendelijke ontvangst!
Het huis voldoet aan alle eisen van een vakantiehuis! Schoon, netjes, ruim, gezellig, van alle gemakken voorzien. Bij aankomst kregen we zelfs afwastabletten voor de vaatwasser. Er waren voldoende kruiden aanwezig. Helemaal top! Het enige kleine min puntje vond ik de douche. De douchekop had harde, niet al te vele stralen. Als je boodschappen nodig had voor de eerste dag dan kon je dat zelfs doorgeven. Geweldige service. Voldoende tips voor uitstapjes. Deze kreeg je zelfs al thuis gemaild . Kortom, een aanrader!
