What our customers say about their holidays

  Gingerbread Cottage is simply amazing and one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

  We arrived in the dark and the house was lit by some fairy lights on the front door and further Christmas decorations in the garden. We had a cosy feel about the cottage straight away. Inside we were greeted by a welcome hamper consisting of a home-made cake (plus hidden sixpence since we stayed over New Year's Eve), sparklers, a bottle of bubbly and a greeting card. I must say that I have rarely experienced so much attention to detail. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, the bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) each have a spacious and hot shower, the livingroom has cosy sofas around the fireplace with wonderful views into the garden. The bedrooms are just beautiful and the beds super comfy. The cottage is a 7-minute walk from Canterbury's city centre, but situated in a quiet residential street. I cannot praise the work and love Barbra puts into maintaining the highest standard of hospitality at Gingerbread Cottage highly enough. We can't wait to visit again.

  One of the most loveliest cottages we’ve stayed in & we have been to loads!

  Gingerbread Cottage stole our hearts from the moment we stepped through the door ❤️ Beautiful, even nicer in real life, from cosy corners where the log burner is to the other bright sitting area, beautiful bedrooms & great bathrooms, lovely garden area. Thank you Barbara for your lovely communication, it was such a pleasure from the time of booking to leaving the cottage. Thank you for such lovely goodies when we arrived, it makes such a difference after traveling so long to be able to pop the kettle on and having such lovely treats. Love the attention to detail & care, your guest’s are clearly important to you. If there was one wee thing, it would be a mirror in the master bedroom by the linen basket where there is a plug so I could do my hair etc rather than do it in the hallway where there is a mirror, it’s a small detail. Everything was fabulous

  Excellent cottage, nothing has been spared by the owners, from the welcome pack to the " doggy basket". Cleanliness is of the highest standard, appliances are all top of the range, beds and bedding are very comfortable. There is a fantastic range of outdoor and indoor games to suit the whole family and a massive paddock to tire out the most energetic of pets and children. The hot tub was in almost constant use as was the barbecue and outdoor pizza oven. If you are looking for a spacious cottage with loads of seating inside and out and a very welcoming feel to it then the Coach House is for you. Kevin, the owner, was available to deal with any queries without being intrusive in any way. I would highly recommend the property to anyone, we were a party of 8 adults and 4 children and none of us had any complaints. A fantastic holiday enjoyed by all.

  This is a gorgeous cottage. The owners have gone to great lengths to make it a very welcome retreat, with lots of lovely touches throughout, including the welcome pack. The common areas and sofas are fabulous and very conducive to both lazy starts and late night chats. The beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms have lots of space. The property is very clean and all the kitchen appliances are great, including the numerous glasses to allow for celebrations. The hot tub was a great addition (and the spare towels a great extra touch). We spent the weekend at the cottage as a group of 11 ladies celebrating 40 years of friendship and all of us would highly recommend it. the owner, was in touch in advance of our visit and we knew he was on hand should any issues have arisen (not that any did). A wonderful weekend.

  "Perfect" is the only way we can describe our 4 week stay at Gingerbread Cottage.

  The layout of the cottage offered great lighting and comfortable space throughout with easy access to the garden via a large glass sliding door. The very modern kitchen was designed for flow and function. The cottage was immaculate, the rooms spacious, and the large walk-in shower was totally luxurious. Location to everywhere in Canterbury and only about a 15 minute walk to the supermarket and our favorite restaurants. Barbra is wonderful and a Super Host who made sure we had everything we needed including helpful instructions and suggestions which made our stay uncomplicated and most enjoyable. These superlatives just don't feel adequate in describing our experience. We plan to book at least 6 weeks next year and Gingerbread Cottage is one of the reasons we're coming back to Canterbury.
