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.

The 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.

    The property was very dog friendly. It has throws to protection the living room furniture, the garden is fence and the village green is just across the Road. I was working in Canterbury and it was ( mostly) an easy commute although it did get congested around Christmas! The kitchen is well équiped and Henrietta responded very quickly when I requested additional items. The cottage is well supplied throughout. I have enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back if I work at the Marlowe in the future! Thank you, Henrietta!

    Review for Pepper CottageI recently stayed at Pepper Cottage and, unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. Although the host did apologise on the morning of my arrival for the substandard cleanliness—citing that their cleaner was off—it was immediately clear that no amount of cleaning could make up for the overall condition of the property.The cottage is tired, run-down, and in desperate need of attention. Mould is visible in several areas, the paintwork is worn and peeling, and the entire space feels neglected and outdated. The kitchen appliances, particularly the cooker and toaster, were so unpleasant that I couldn’t bring myself to use them.After raising my concerns with the host, and following a heated discussion, they agreed to refund most of the 80 cleaning fee—once I submitted a formal complaint to Vrbo along with a detailed set of photos clearly documenting the issues.If you are expecting a high standard of cleanliness and a reasonably comfortable, pleasant environment, I strongly urge you to think twice before booking Pepper Cottage. Sadly, it did not meet even the most basic expectations.

    Exactly what we were looking for! A quiet place with a great pub nearby, and truly friendly people. A great location to visit nearby attractions and up north to the beach.

    Me and my husband stayed here for a few weeks and we found our stay very comfortable. It has everything you need and most importantly the hosts Henrietta and husband are very warm and welcoming and always there to help. We will definitely be staying here again in the future :)

    Good online description of property where we needed a secure garden for our dog. Situated in a pleasant village in rural Kent but with good access to country and seaside . The village was very friendly and with a pub and a cafe within walking distance. We also appreciated the welcome groceries . It was also good to get large bathroom towels rather than small ones often supplied in holiday let’s. Finally although the property was in owners grounds they were very unobtrusive and the property was secluded and private.

    Just an okay stay. Welcome juice and bread in the fridge. However error with fridge being turned off, so lost some of my specialist foods. Apology received, but deteriorated food wasted. You will need extra loo roll. Only one provided for the week! Didn't have a five star experience sadly.
