Excellent way to spend some time with family and friends

The Homestead is a lovely house, which is very tastefully furnished . The views were stunning especially seeing the horses in the fields. The beds were all very comfortable and the house spotlessly clean All the equipment we needed was provided and the hosts Martin and Paula were very friendly. We would certainly recommend this house to anyone wishing to spend time with family and friends. It was lovely

Perfect House

Recently stayed at The Homestead for my sisters hen weekend with some family and friends. The house was perfect for our murder mystery dinner evening with the large table seating 16 people and spacious kitchen. Beautiful grounds over looking fields and woodland. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Only a short 10-15 drive into the centre of Canterbury. Would definitely recommend and stay again with family.

A beautiful home!

This past weekend we celebrated my sisters bridal shower and it was the perfect location for a nice relaxing girls getaway. The house is so nice and spacious, with views of never ending fields. We were able to go visit the horses next door and it was a short drive in to town. Overall, we all had an amazing time! The owner was very kind and helpful too.

A beautiful setting

Beautiful roomy house in lovely surroundings. Plenty of space for a large group. A little more crockery, cutlery & dishesetc would be helpful for such a large group. Hard to find had to ring owner who said we needed to turn by ‘Cobwebs’ sign (not on directions)

Long weekend at The Homestead

Ten of us enjoyed a really lovely 3 night stay at The Homestead. Overall, the property was pretty much perfect for our needs; very spacious living/dining/ kitchen areas and enough bedrooms that those wishing to have their own rooms were able to whilst those of us happy to share were in spacious, comfortable rooms. The property is in a wonderfully peaceful location and it was lovely watching the horses being led out to the paddocks or for their exercise in the mornings. Just a couple of things to mention; a lot of the wardrobes were locked and whilst I understand the house is a family home and things need to be stored, in our room, which I took to be the master, we had no usable wardrobes or drawers. Some coat hooks were provided but for three women, these were not really adequate. Also, the outside furniture could do with updating. The long wooden bench was unusable due to the warping and general poor condition. A dedicated seating area in a sunny spot would be lovely as the patio does not get the afternoon sun. However, these issues in no way distracted from a fantastic weekend and we would be happy to return.

Amazing Stay at The Homestead - Chaucer House

We spent the bank holiday weekend at this lovely property and had an excellent experience. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortably accommodated our group of 12. The beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed stunning views of the countryside fields. A highlight of our stay was the presence of four beautiful horses and a friendly pony, which added a special touch to our visit. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the dining area featured a large table perfect for our entire group to eat together. Additionally, the property is conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from Canterbury. Martin is a wonderful host, and we would definitely love to return to this property in the future. Highly recommended!

Not the best experience and we won’t be returning

The house was in need of attention, the blinds were broken, the sofas old and uncomfortable. We were told we could bring our dog only to be told he had to be on a lead at all times even though there was a garden. This meant we had to keep all the doors closed. We walked our 4 year old twins to see the horses to be told they’d better keep away from the fences as they are all electrified.

Perfect getaway

My stay at The Homestead was amazing. The house was bigger and brighter than expected - all guests that arrived said the pictures do not do it justice. The place was well-equipped and the beds were very surprisingly comfortable. The location was beautiful and in a scenic area. I enjoyed a few cups of tea in the morning sun and at night looking up at the many stars. With the lovely weather we felt like we were further away from our homes in London 1-2 hours away. We went for a group walk to really take it in! Check-in was very quick with the host just requiring a call when we were on the way and letting us get settled within 2 mins of meeting us. Although this was lovely at the time, it became my only gripe as we were unaware of the check-out process and considerable clean-up expectations (in comparison to other staycation homes and hotels) which could have been explained at check-in. Overall a VERY pleasant experience and I would highly recommend The Homestead for any groups seeking a private, tranquil getaway. Just beautiful

Schönes großes Haus in guter ruhiger Lage. Für große Familie wirklich ausreichend Platz in allen Bereichen. Die schönen Kent Downs sind vom Haus aus in alle Richtungen erwanderbar! Und Canterbury ist auch „um die Ecke“! Küchenutensilien lassen etwas zu wünschen übrig, und einige Türen zu den Zimmern und auch nach draußen lassen sich nicht verschließen! Hat uns nicht gestört, aber könnte besser sein.Alles in allem aber tolles Haus für relativ günstigen Preis!

Everything we needed for a group holiday

We were very happy with the house. We had everything that we needed and it was perfect for a group of friends to stay in and have their own space. Lovely spacious property. To be honest we were happy with everything. If we had anything to say that wasn’t positive is that the property was tricky to find as there is no sign on the road!! Otherwise we loved it.

What a wonderful house

The house was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway! It is very large with large socialising space and so is perfect for larger groups. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a large American fridge which is perfect for the number of guests the house can accomodate. We couldn't have asked for better hosts who were more than happy to cater for our every need. The house was immaculately clean and we were incredibly comfortable throughout our stay. We would love to come back again!
