The location was absolutely wonderful, just the right amount of secluded (with a gorgeous garden with wonderful trees, flowers and bird houses for bird song throughout the day) and positioned close to Canterbury and Faversham, all amenities were within 15minute drives.

Simple thing, but having a towel ring next to the wash hand basin is so good (& rare) to find All equipment we could need was there

Instruction on the heating would have been useful, we overheated it at first. A long handled squeegee mop would be useful in the wet room, bending not so good

Idyllic, peaceful location- the host was very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was warm, cozy and had everything you could need for your stay - so nice to have a full kitchen to be able to cook properly. My dog Daisy loved exploring the garden and there are lots of lovely places for walkies! Would definitely come back - 100% recommend!

I wish I could’ve stayed longer!

Bedroom looked like we were walking into a charity shop not the least bit inviting and the bed was so uncomfortable. The garden was not fully enclosed so our dog could only go out on lead. Garden furniture uncomfortable. We booked for 4 nights left after two.

Lots of space. Dog friendliness and good for dog walking. Easy parking. Homely. TV facilities really good.

More mugs in kitchen would have been helpful. Instructions about the under floor heating…how to regulate needed. Shower curtain across shower room would have avoided the whole of the floor being wet.

Peaceful location

Closeness/sounds from neighbouring rental

A Very pretty location and convenient for Canterbury and the A2 west. Unfortunately the negatives far out weighed the positives.

We stayed for three nights in September 2023, swayed by the 9 “superb” rating. We fail to see how that rating is justified. Sadly, Little Orchard Cottage fell far short of our expectations, to the point we would never consider staying again, nor recommend it to friends. On the face of it, it looks good. But the attention to detail was poor and it implies the owners are not proactively maintaining the property to delight guests. In particular: 1. The double mattress was worn out, sagging and uncomfortable and we rolled into the middle. It simply needs replacing. Lack of sleep ruined our stay in Kent. 2. The fitted sheet was very tired and worn out. It needs replacing. 3. A property for two. Two bath/shower towels were provided but only one face/hand towel. Why only one? 4. A single part used toilet roll was provided on the holder. We could find no other spares. We rent lots of holiday cottages and there are usually copious supplies in the bathroom cupboard. Not here. 5. There is an extractor fan vent in the bathroom ceiling but no evidence of a working extractor fan. Consequently the bathroom filled with steam. A wet room indeed. 6. The lever mechanism on the bathroom washbasin waste was seized. The waste plug was open sufficiently to not hold water in the basin. It needs maintaining and whoever cleans the bathroom must know this. 7. This is in fact a semi-detached cottage with Orchard Cottage next door. It seems Orchard cottage has an upper floor where the bathroom is located, over part of Little Orchard Cottage bedroom. The sound insulation between that bathroom and our bedroom was totally inadequate. Use your imagination. It disturbed our sleep even more. 8. The pedal bin in the bathroom was broken but could be opened by hand. The pop up bin lid in the kitchen was broken but could not be opened without taking it off. 9. The good news is the wardrobe had literally dozens of clothes hangers in it. For two? Not value for money at any price.
