Apologies o thought I had already reviewed. This was an excellent property an beautifully kept. In a very central location. Julia was an A1 host and could not have been more helpful.
Lovely small property on the main High Street of Tenterden, but well set back from the road so no noise issue. The property is very well equipped with everything you might require. The town has plenty of different places to eat and supermarkets if you prefer to cook. An excellent stay.
Perfect location. Loved your little house. Julia is very accommodating. The kitchen is super well equipped. Slept very well in the comfy bed. Great private parking. Thank you
Lovely little cottage with a nice garden at a perfect spot in downtown Tenterden. Very friendly reception at arrival of owner Julia. The kitchen was beautifully updated and very well equipped incl. Nespresso coffee machine. House was spotless clean. Good and a bit firm beds and great bathroom. Good pubs and restaurants all within walking distance, e.g. The Vine, The White Lion, Montalbano, The Woolpack and for great afternoon tea and/or lunch Peggotty’s. In short: stay at Julia’s!
The cottage is beautiful, cosy, spotlessly clean, very comfortable. It is in a great location just 5 minutes walk to the bustling high street with lovely restaurants, shops and cafes. The Old Dairy tap room is just over the road and down the hill near the steam railway. The Vine pub opposite is lovely and really friendly and the Indian restaurant, Banjara, opposite was excellent. Julia is a lovely host and was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you.
Very well and helpfully appointed with welcoming touches. Very clean with games etc available which is helpful. Excellent position close to all requirements, beds were comfy & despite being in the high street it was quiet at night. Stairs are indeed narrow as described in the accommodation description accurately. Large bathroom with good flow shower. 😁
Sweet little old house with nicely equipped modern kitchen and bath, and very accommodating host. Could not be more convenient to the shops and restaurants. Do take the property description seriously when it talks about awkward stairs - there are excellent handrails on the steep, narrow, twisting climb to the loo and upper bedroom beyond but it would not be fun for the mobility challenged. For us it just added to the cottage charm.
Listing description is accurate. Nicely outfitted with welcome treats, coffee pods, kitchen tools, and private parking. Your legs will be more toned after a few days on account of the stairs. Wisteria in the back garden was in bloom, lovely. Located right on the High Street so a short walk to all shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, etc. Supermarket was very close by for groceries. The house is set well back from the tree-lined road so it's quiet. Occasional noise of neighbours in their unit but nothing disruptive... it's an old house, part of the charm of staying in Tenterden. Enjoyed our stay, as we used it as a home base to explore castles and other historical attractions in the area.
This cottage is so beautiful and homely. The kitchen was first class, everything is catered for and extremely well fitted out. Very comfortable space. The lounge is small and cosy. Wifi available and streaming services for TV if needed.
The stairs were quite narrow and if you are tall you would need to watch your head but got used to them very quickly. Bathroom is excellent and shower very powerful. All clean and very spacious. Washing machine in bathroom.
Both bedrooms really comfy, teenagers stayed in twin beds in attic room comfortably.
Lovely quiet area, easy to walk everywhere and parking space available if needed. Tesco supermarket 2 min walk. Pubs and restaurants in Town centre only a few mins walk.
Be aware of neighbours as noise travels easily and it was weird to hear them walking in room above at first but got used to it.
Overall excellent property, extremely clean and well looked after by hosts. Loved visiting Little House.
Lovely small cottage in the centre of Tenterden and within walking distance of all shops, cafes and restaurants.Well equipped with everything we needed.Excellent coms from our host and thoughtful welcome.
Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
A lovely property with a cosy atmosphere. Close to all the shops. Long front garden and enclosed safe back garden, which our dog loved. Nice touches by owner in leaving an assortment of supplies that were useful to us.
A cosy and comfortable little house in a central position within easy walking distance of all amenities in Tenterden.Thoughtfully equipped with good attention to detail. Would definitely recommend.
We were very happy with the cottage. It was decorated for Christmas that was very thoughtful we enjoyed our time and will probably return

Cosy house in great location
We enjoyed 8 nights in this terrace house in Tenterden in late May 2025. It is well placed both within easy walking distance of the town’s restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions, and close driving distance to several villages and significant destinations such as Sissinghurst Castle, Dover and the coast. The house has everything for a comfortable “home away from home” holiday and on-site car parking is a bonus. Tenterden is a delightful town with everything you need. The house itself is very quiet and has lovely front garden and lawns to look out on. We strongly recommend this property.
Very well equipped property in the heart of Tenterden, close to shops, restaurants and pubs. Steam train only 5 mins away. Great for adults and small families. Owner is very helpful and responds quickly to questions. Good location for walks, castles and wineries. Would certainly rent it again.
Very cute tiny but complete house in a wonderfull village. The hostess responded quickly to mail and app

four night stay at tenderton
Clean, well maintained and equiped
Clear directions to property
little touches meant a lot
queries with owner excellent
Only problem was with HomeAway - final payment
Probably will be repeated when I try and revover my damage deposit
The minute I walked in, I felt right at home. The location couldn’t be better, (try the Italian restaurant next door!) quiet neighbors and perfect parking spot. The kitchen is recently redone and the bathroom has a great shower/bath. I appreciated the logs provided for the wood burner which made my evenings so cozy. The bed was comfortable with high quality linens. I’d stay here many times over!

Lovely homely cottage in a beautiful town
The cottage was very well presented and comfortable. Julia went to a lot of effort to make us feel welcome. It was the small details that made a difference, such as tea, sugar and salt in the cupboard, milk in the fridge and hand soap, toilet paper and tissues. We didn't have to worry that we had forgotten anything and the supermarket was very close for all our other needs. Tenterden has some really good shops and restaurants and we also visited Rye, which is a really nice historic town nearby. I would really recommend staying at this house.
Cosy & Comfortable, somewhere to relax without worrying. I could have happily moved in permanently! Lovely wood-burning stove for atmosphere in the living room. Long bath to immerse in after a day exploring. Kitchen had everything including a comfy table at which to eat.
Would benefit from a washing machine and a plug for the kitchen sink. Watch out for the gate to the garage - it swings in the wind and hit the car - wedge it open if you can whilst maneuvering.
