Perfect getaway 4.7/5
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

A beautiful home! 5/5
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.

Excellent way to spend some time with family and friends 4.2/5
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

Not the best experience and we wont be returning 2.5/5
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 theyd better keep away from the fences as they are all electrified.

Perfect House 4.5/5
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.

Stayed here as a group of 8 ladies for a birthday weekend. Everyone had such a lovely time, the house and grounds are beautiful, lovely views from the rooms, kitchen is perfect for hosting dinner and Martin is a wonderful and charming host. A pleasure to visit Canterbury and stay in such a lovely location and home.

Thank you for letting us use your beautiful house. I have had the best weekend of my life with my gorgeous family & friends and a big surprise when I got here. I wish I could live in a home like this. Thank you Jackie!

What a lovely house and a great place to spend time with family for birthday/Christmas celebrations. Thank you Martin & Paula! We would recommend The Granville for a good place to eat. Also, we had a roast dinner delivered by Old Weavers House, which was fab.

Everything we needed for a group holiday 5/5
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 wasnt positive is that the property was tricky to find as there is no sign on the road!! Otherwise we loved it.

A beautiful setting 4.7/5
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)

What a wonderful house 5/5
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!
