  • "This was a very comfortable stay, just a half-mile walk from the centre of Tenterden, a very compact and attractive small town, with an impressive range of shops and services."

    There is much to explore and visit in the surrounding area. The parking for Vine Cottage is roadside and free, though parking very close to the Cottage seems to depend on the time of day and twice we had to park overnight in an adjoining road. The house was well-equipped, though we thought it would be nice to have a radio. Some people may find the stairs rather steep. The garden was nicely cared-for and pleasant to sit in. We were pleased that we had chosen Vine Cottage for our stay.

    Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you found Vine Cottage comfortable and appreciated its convenient location near Tenterden’s charming town centre. It’s fantastic to hear you enjoyed exploring the area, and we’re glad the garden provided a pleasant spot to relax. The television in the cottage is a Smart TV, which includes a comprehensive radio selection. We'll make sure to share this with future guests. We’re so glad you chose Vine Cottage and would love to welcome you back again soon! Best regards, Trudy & Barry Property Owner

    The cottage was clean, tidy and well maintained. We had a couple of queries and Trudy and Barry were quick to answer them. The bed and furnishings were comfortable and it was well equipped with all we needed. Tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits were provided as a welcome.

    The decor is first class, we loved it all, particularly the kitchen dining room with its french door out on to the delightful garden. The only thing was the road outside which we found rather noisy.

    The cottage is beautifully decorated to a high standard and very clean. The garden is also lovely, our two daughters enjoyed playing outside and we enjoyed food and drinks on the patio. The owners were really welcoming and it was easy to get hold of them for any advice. The cottage is in walking distance of the high street, with lots of places to eat in or take away. We really enjoyed the Thai takeaway, that is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. For families with younger children there is a great park nearby and lots for them to do. We also enjoyed travelling a little further and visited Camber Sands, Rye and Dover Castle. We would recommend Vine Cottage as a great place for a family break.
