Om boendet

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.

Family vacation in the Garden of England

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.

Dont Stay at Twyne Cottage

Filthy dirty, not acceptable! We left early as soon as we found other accommodation, the host then cancelled our booking online to stop me adding a review of our awful experience at the cottage. We have photos to prove our awful experience if anyone is interested???

A real gem.

We stayed with our little dog for two weeks at Twyne Cottage. It is such a lovely homely cottage with everything that you could require and is so peaceful. Henrietta and David made us so welcome and left us bread, butter, eggs, milk and apple juice to get us started which was really appreciated. If you have a dog there is a quiet park a few hundred yards away and an old orchard directly over the road for walking them. The garden centre in the village, a short walk away, serves excellent food and there is a dog friendly pub opposite it. The cottage is perfect for visiting all the nearby seaside towns and Canterbury all within around a thirty minute drive. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday in lovely surroundings with great hosts you will not find any better than Twyne cottage.

Back again after a few years. Bigger kids this time, but just as good. David and Henrietta great again. No fuss, no stress, plenty of family time. Best kept secret is the dark skies on clear nights - Milky Way, loads of less bright constellations and meteor showers 😀

Cosy, warm and bright cottage

We stayed in Twyne Cottage for a few weeks whilst awaiting completion of our house purchase. It proved to be a very comfortable, warm and well equipped place in which to spend our time and from which to explore the area around us. It is exceptionally peaceful and also has a lovely little garden to enjoy in the warmer weather. Henrietta and David, our hosts could not have been more welcoming, flexible and helpful. Preston has a great village shop, butchers pub and garden centre with lovely cafe/restaurant. Wingham, just a short drive away has more shops and facilities and the local farm shop is one of the best around. There are great walks straight from the cottage, ideal if you have a dog, plus more within easy driving distance. Those around nearby Goodnestone in particular.

Lovely Location

Twyne Cottage is in a lovely location. You can take a very short walk to the pub, garden centre (with lovely Coppers Bistro for breakfast, cakes and dinner). There is also a small village shop. Our boys loved the local park just next door, where we could throw the frisbee and play cricket. Also local walks available straight from the cottage. Lot to do within 20/30mins drive. We went to Howletts Zoo, Dover Castle, Whistable, Deal, Sandwich, Joss Bay and Broadstairs! Nice little garden for BBQ's and enjoying the sunshine. Henreitta was a welcoming host with lots of local knowledge. We had a lovely break in Kent.

Fantastic Cottage, Close To Everything!

I booked Tawney Cottage for me a a few colleagues who were working in the local area. Henrietta came back in moments with the answers to a few questions I had and was very clear in her answers. The cottage is in a village called Preston which is 15 minutes from Manston Airport. It is tucked away and quiet, but close enough to Ramsgate, Canterbury e.t.c. at the same time. When I arrived (at short notice) Henrietta was there and showed me around the cottage and explained everything. The cottage has a main bedroom and a side room with bunk beds and it is all on one floor. There is a kitchen, dining area and a shower/toilet room opposite the side bedroom. The main bedroom has it's own en-suite. The cottage is well decorated and equipped throughout with Dishwasher, Washer/Dryer, Fridge .e.t.c . There is fast wifi and freeview TV. It is comfortable, homely and well decorated. There is off-road parking as well. Perfect cottage for us and we felt very welcome. Thank you Henrietta and David, I will be sure to return if I am in the area again.

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in schöner Umgebung!

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Preston. Das Häuschen ist sehr schön und mit allem eingerichtet, was man braucht. Unsere Tochter hat sich im Kinderzimmer sehr wohlgefühlt und auch wir Erwachsenen fanden es sehr schön. Einzig das Bett hätte für uns etwas härter sein können, aber das war auch schon alles. Wir haben uns sofort sehr willkommen gefühlt, Handtücher und Bettwäsche inclusive und im Kühlschrank war alles für ein kleines Frühstück vorhanden. Landestypisch war alles für eine gepflegte Tasse Tee vorhanden - wir würden beim nächsten Mal eine French Press einpacken. Die Bilder in der Beschreibung sind für beide Häuser, sodass für uns nicht ganz eindeutig war, welche Zimmer wozu gehören - aber das machte nichts, da beide Häuschen sehr schön eingerichtet sind. In dem Haus mit Kinderzimmer sind zwei Bäder, eins am Elternschlafzimmer, eins am Kinderzimmer - das fanden wir sehr praktisch. Die Duschen sind hervorragend - jeder mit langen Haaren kennt das Problem, wenn im Urlaub zu wenig Wasser vorhanden ist, das ist hier überhaupt nicht so! Dank schönem Wetter konnten wir in der zweiten Woche den Garten genießen - Terrasse und Liegestühle sind da sehr komfortabel und vor allen Dingen auch ruhig gelegen. Die Dame, die das andere Haus gemietet hat, hat uns am Tag der Abreise gefragt, ob wir kommen oder gehen - das sagt dann wohl alles dazu, was man vom Nachbarn mitbekommt: Nämlich gar nichts. Wir haben die Ruhe genossen. Für Familien lohnt es sich, direkt neben dem Grundstück den kleinen Weg an der Schule entlang zu gehen: Hier befindet sich ein riesiger Spielplatz, der uns mit Kind sehr entgegenkam. Im Dorf ist ein kleiner Supermarkt und ein netter Pub, dort haben wir gut gegessen. In kurzer Reichweite kann man in Kent wirklich sehr viel unternehmen, egal ob Natur, Kultur oder Städtetrips. Wir können nur empfehlen, sich beim English Heritage einen "Overseas Visitor Pass" zu bestellen (geht auch online), dann ist bei vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung der Eintritt schon inclusive. __ Dear Henrietta, we really enjoyed our holiday in your beautiful cottage. It is well equipped and the environment offers a lot of activities and nice destinations for trips. We will come back!

Om värden

Henrietta Kelly är värd

David and Henrietta have been living at Hardacre House for 5 years. They were married 8 years ago and have decided to move full time to "The Garden of England".

They running courses for foreign adults and younger students who want to improve their English in the main house and offer 2 self catering cottages which are adjacent to the main house.

David has lived in Kent and London most of his life and loves gardening, playing tennis, walking and biking. Henrietta has lived in France and Chile and also loves an active outdoor life much the same as David! They both love travelling and have visited Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania, India and many lovely places in Europe including France, Italy and Spain. We both speak French and Henrietta speaks Spanish too.

They very much enjoy the theatre and there is a great one in Canterbury called "The Marlowe Theatre". When they have time and at the end of the day they enjoy having a good read but usually fall asleep with the book.

They both enjoy good food but most of all using their local products. They are eager to have a good kitchen garden which they are both working on.

They would love to share their beautiful garden which is in a very tranquil spot and an area of outstanding natural beauty. There are beautiful walks along many footpaths around the village and they are close to the sea side with a good choice of different types of beaches. They are also very close to Canterbury with its stunning cathedral and walled city and many other interesting historical sites including two "Cinques Port" towns of Sandwich and Dover, and Richborough Castle. There are the various golf courses in and around Sandwich, with Margate and Ramsgate also close at hand.
They would very much enjoy to welcome you to their home and share some of the secrets of Hidden Kent which they can reveal to our guests when they come and visit.
