About this cottage rental
This cottage is in a very peaceful location but close to both Canterbury and Sandwich. The seaside towns of Deal, Margate and Whitstable are also very accessible. So instead of being in the busy tourist locations this is a more relaxing option.
Come and enjoy a stress free time in the cosy cottages in the garden of England. Both the cottages are fully equipped with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, four-ring hob, microwave, butler sink, iron/board, dryer rack, vacuum cleaner, TV/DVD player, WiFi/broadband internet access. Bed linen and towels are provided.
Enjoy a glass of wine relaxing in the private garden with sun loungers, picnic table, parasol and barbecue. Bicycles are available to borrow at your own risk. One very well behaved pet is allowed. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.
The cottage is located at the edge of a village which has a
small well stocked shop and excellent butcher. There is also a friendly local pub and excellent Copper's café in a garden nursery. All these walking distance.
Twyne cottage is in the grounds of Hardacre House which was built in the first part of the fifteenth century. Its most famous occupant was John Twyne, the last headmaster of St Augustine’s Abbey school and the first of Kings School in Canterbury after the Dissolution in 1541. He was Alderman, Mayor and MP of Canterbury and even spent time in the Tower of London when he offended King Henry VIII! He married Allice Peper of Hampshire in 1525 and they spent many years in Preston.

We had a wonderful holiday in Henrietta's holiday home. Thanks to the proximity to the coast, we enjoyed lovely days swimming as well as sightseeing tours of the various attractions (Dover Castle, etc.). You should definitely become a member of English Heritage to save on admission. The village butcher, which is just a few minutes' walk from the apartment, is also highly recommended. We will definitely be back and can only recommend the apartment.

We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a peaceful and pleasant stay in Hardacre house lodging. Our guests are very nice people. They did their utmost to make us feel like home and gave us tips on where to go shopping and visiting the surroundings.

This property is delightful with much character and charm. It is very well equipped indeed and is suitable for a couple or family. The owners are very friendly and helpful and close by in case of any issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to revisit.

Beautiful period cottage in lovely rural Kent, a short drive will get you to the coast and Canterbury. Lovely private garden for relaxing which included BBQ and outdoor seating. Henrietta and her husband could not have been more helpful and friendly.
