About this vacation rental

Lovely 3 bedroom cottage which dates back to the 18th Century, offering a feel of the period with exposed brickwork, beams and an inglenook fireplace with working wood burning stove, yet providing the comforts of today with oil fired central heating and a modern kitchen with all mod cons! Previously owned by Lady Russell, luxuries imagined during this time are found, including high quality bedding in all of the 3 bedrooms. The well established walled garden is a lovely place to relax after a hard day touring or by the beach! Beautiful feature lounge with beams and inglenook fireplace, LCD TV with DVD and Freeview. Separate dining room with country style furnishings including a Welsh Dresser. Modern well equipped kitchen with adjacent utility/shower room. Upstairs offers 2 double bedrooms and a twin bedroom, all with good storage. There is a family bathroom with full size bath, hand held shower, w/c and basin.

We stayed nine days in Northbourne and we had a wonderful time. The house is cosy, the garden amazing and the vincinty very beautiful. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and most of the time we just enjoyed the lovely garden. It was a bit surprising that there is no shower. Deal can be reached in 10 minutes by car. The sandy beaches in Margate or Broadstairs are good for swimming with children. We are looking forward to coming again next year. Thanks for everything.

We loved our stay in Northbourne. The house and garden were perfect. Everyone in town was very welcoming. Even invited us to their coronation party. We will definitely be back.

Our stay in de cottage was very very nice. There is a beautiful garden en the surrounding was stunning. However, the couch was very bad. You sink very deep into it. It is quite a problem for elderly people. Because we have a lot of pain in our back, it was a problem. That was a pity. But we still enjoyed it

Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable. Well equipped but suggest a first aid box would be beneficial. One member had an accident in the cottage during our stay and unfortunately damaged a radiator. Communication with the owner was good and the problem was dealt with very swiftly. Would highly recommend Townsend cottage.

We greatly enjoyed the Townsend Cottage. It was a perfect hub for our family (2 grandparents, parents, and 2 children - 8 & 5yrs old). There were plenty of great walking paths close by, the lovely Hare & Hounds Pub right across the street with a traditional Sunday Roast, a playground and field down the street for the kids and many friendly folks in the village. We appreciated the proximity to the ocean and many towns (& castles) to explore all within 30 minutes or less drive. If you’re looking for a place that is quiet and remote but still close enough to get out and see the sights, we’d highly recommend. The owners were very responsive as well whenever we reached out with questions.

We had a fabulous week at Townsend Cottage. It’s a beautiful cottage with a lovely garden and has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. The pub opposite was closed when we were there but is reopening soon. The cottage is a short drive from Deal and we found loads of interesting places to visit for day trips.

The cottage was the perfect size for a family of four (or five). The lounge was its best feature - comfortable sofas, a cozy feel and inglenook fireplace. The basics were provided ie. towels, utensils. One of the double beds was not the most comfortable for two people but the other was fine. A little extra thought to the finer details and those staying would give it a five star rating eg. A welcome note or pack, but most importantly the removal of large limited edition paintings by Rolf Harris; not at all something that would make those who have had unwanted experiences feel comfortable (or those with a moral compass) whilst having dinner or going to bed (where the pictures are situated). Two of the three paintings are screwed to the wals so cannot be temporarily removed if preferred by visitors. Otherwise, a nice property and lovely garden.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, in a perfect quiet location close to the coast. The cottage is spacious and very comfortable indeed, it has a gorgeous garden and a well equipped kitchen + utility room. All the bedrooms are of a good size and layout, the bedding is heavenly! With 5-6 people in our group it was great to have both a bath upstairs (delightfully relaxing with birdsong from the garden!) and a shower downstairs (note only one toilet though). And there is plenty of seating in the dining room and lounge. Nice big TV with Netflix and other apps for evenings in. It's a shame the pub across the road is closed at present but there are other very good ones a short drive or 30 minute walk away. Very good communication from the owners and the lovely housekeeper. Highly recommended!

This was a great property with a beautiful mature garden. We had a minor problem which the owners dealt with immediately. A mirror in the second bedroom would be nice.

A real shame for our family holiday as the cottage is sweet but not a place in my view for under 5’s as there were a few unsafe problems in the house and garden. Feather bedding not suitable for vegans/allergy sufferers.

This was a break to end the horrible lock down that we have all experienced in these last few months.. Townsend Cottage is idyllic, every thing that a family needs.. We could not have asked for more..Thank you Tim and Julie...
