Family-friendly holiday rentals in Canterbury

We fell in love with Evegate Manor Barn from the moment we arrived! It’s in a stunning location, felt very private and was the perfect first night away for us and our four month old baby! Larissa was responsive, understanding when we needed to change dates and was so helpful and welcoming! The pool and hot tub are an added bonus and our little one loved to see the chickens and explore the garden! Having the artisan village next door was amazing and we enjoyed our evening at the pub! This listing has everything you could ask for and we would love to come back later this year! Amazing hosts too, thankyou for making our stay so easy ☺️

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

We were a family party of 7 who meet up the same time each year. This accommodation was just perfect - literally had anything you need. We were lucky with the weather and managed to have 2 BBQ in the lovely garden. Would definitely stay here again

Plantagenet is actually one of my favourite places to stay in the whole world!! It sounds v dramatic but I travel a LOT with work and staying there just fills me with happiness. The location is completely beautiful, the cottage is so lovely and filled with such great energy. It has everything you could ever dream of for a relaxing stay. The swimming pool is awesome and so is the hot tub! There are so many beautiful spots around to drive to for lovely walks and long pub lunches/dinners. Tim and Maite are the BEST hosts you could ever wish for! They are so welcoming and extremely responsive. I have been staying at Plantagenet for a number of years now and cannot recommend it enough! I can't wait to go back for my next stay.

we stayed with family and friends for the Easter weekend. The hosts were friendly and responsive. Christine welcomed us at the house and showed us around so we knew how everything worked. The house is a lovely space and exactly as described and shown in the pictures. we had a lot of fun. all of the kitchen essentials are provided and so much more. we would love to stay here again.

What a beautiful cottage! Exactly like on the photos, very charming. Surroundings are stunning, hot tub was a treat. The kitchen is very well equipped with anything you might need. Beds were comfortable and cozy. The conservatory was great to just sit and play board games and have lovely meals, was nice and warm and toastie in there and the views!! Pauline’s communication and response times were excellent, very friendly and accommodating. All I would suggest, if possible is perhaps to think of some sort of covers/shelter from the cold/wind by the hot tub. It was very windy and we still wanted to enjoy the hot tub, but it got very cold whilst inside. Some sort of coverings will work a treat. Pauline suggested some great pubs and things to do in the area. All and all my friends and I had a lovely stay. Thanks Pauline!

Booked the lodge for my parents as Christmas present, and it was great experience for them, they loved every minute of the trip. The hosts was superb and very welcoming, and made my parents feel so comfortable throughout the duration of the trip. Would highly recommend and will book again.

We stayed at Nina's in the Easter holiday with our two younger children. All of us were left enchanted by her beautiful home! we would love to revisit in the near future. The living room and open plan kitchen was perfect for our family. We enjoyed eating our meals with the garden doors wide open. I must say the garden stole the show with it's spacious hot tub! It's situated in such a mesmerising location where you look out to fields. Sheep can be heard constantly- something my three year old absolutely loved! We miss the serenity of the countryside and the beautiful views from the house! Definitely worth a visit! The surrounding areas are simply superb!

Beautiful home in a fabulous location close to all of the fabulous local shops and restaurants. Nicola was extremely helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend a stay here!

Great place to stay out of the hustle & bustle of Whitstable but a gorgeous walk in along the beach / coast walk - flat and easy for all. Really enjoyed staying in this area - lovely houses and beach feels very private. Plus the house is 3 houses down from the sea and upstairs bedrooms have great seaview. Very sociable space - 4 couples stayed and we had so much room to cook, eat & sit and the garden is a bonus.

We had a great celebration weekend at Hannah’s place. Location is perfect, seconds from the lovely high street. Very comfortable and had everything we needed, and more. Dog bed and bowls a lovely touch, and also the milk, shortbread and chocolate - thank you! Hannah was a very responsive host and let us know we could check in a little earlier. Would highly recommend 👍🏻

We had a lovely 4 night stay at Tulip Tree Cottage. Everything was exactly as described and the cottage was very well equipped and well appointed. James was a great host, his communication was excellent and he was really helpful when we needed to reschedule due to a death in our family. Would highly recommend Tulip Tree to anyone!

Wat een heerlijk huisje is dit! Met vers brood & jam bij aankomst, heel fijne bedden, een prima keuken en een schitterende tuin. Het ligt aan een klein weggetje midden in de natuur, heerlijk rustig en ontzettend mooi. Goede uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes (wij zijn naar Leeds Castle en Canterbury geweest). En vlakbij ligt de Wye Crown, een prachtig uitzichtpunt over Kent, ook zeker de moeite waard!

Rachel's place is super spacious and well kitted out. I travelled with a baby and so having a cot, high chair and baby cutlery was super useful! Rachel was also very friendly and helpful in her instructions. The location was a little difficult if you are not travelling by car and the house is hemmed in by a very busy road (but that is clear form the location of the map!) It was noisy at night, so worth considering if you are a light sleeper - but this was ok for us. Overall a lovely experience :)

Beautifully positioned for a break away by the sea. The house is small but incredibly charming and there is so much to do in Whitstable and beyond on the Kent coast. Whilst parking provided us with a bit of a headache, that is a small price to pay for the change to stay in this hidden gem and Amanda was really helpful and responsive.

Had a lovely stay at Saltwater Cottage. The cottage was clean and tidy when we got there. There was everything we could need in the kitchen, a selection of board games to use and the back garden was lovely and very peaceful to sit out in. My son loved the bunk beds in ‘his’ room! It was just a few minutes walk to the beach and a 10 min drive to Rye so was in a great location. Thanks so much for letting us stay at the cottage, we will definitely recommend it!

Nice stay! Comfortable beds, clean rooms, thoughtfully laid out, well equipped, and so close to great walks and heritage sites. The kids loved the indoor pool. The chalet is probably meant to be enjoyed best in warmer weather but Neil provided enough space heaters to keep warm. The electricity is run on coin meter- took about 6-7£ for 2 days in February, could probably get away with half of that in warmer months.

I must admit I was somewhat worried after booking and reading previous reviews but my worries were unfounded. the chalet was lovely and I didn't think it was dated. the kitchen had everything we needed, the chalet was homey and comfortable. There were extras like a clothes horse to hang wet towels and costumes, games, hand soaps and cream etc. My only slight niggle is that wifi isn't included. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lyn's chalet and would stay again!

The caravan was the biggest and most luxurious caravan we have stayed in. It was better than described, very well equipped, and the best location on site - very peaceful and great views, we loved watching the sheep! If we come back to Parkdean Camber Sands again, we are booking this caravan!

The accommodation is exactly as described in a great location with sea views. Perfect for families as well as couples or individuals. Having a sea view is lovely and it is within walking distance to the beach.

Fantastic location, beautiful and comfy house. Perfect for a large family get-away. Games room was good fun and the garden was perfect in the sunshine. The pebble beach is just a few minutes walk away and access to the Cliff walk is easy as well.

Great house for our family holiday - lots of space, comfortable and amazing views! Lots to do in the surrounding area too - enjoyable walks into Herne Bay and Reculver a highlight for us. Maggie was responsive and helpful throughout.

Le logement est bien situé l’intérieur du villages de vacances, en bordure de la nature et de nombreux animaux: brebis, goélands, lapins. Le logement est irréprochable et propre et la prestation comparable à un hôtel. La proximité des petits lapins a enchanté les enfants. Merci Ross pour ce beau séjour!

14 of us stayed here for my friends hen do! The space was large enough to host a big group and the grounds gave room to sit outside. The pool was a great addition and large enough to all be in at once! The extra cottages were great overflow and perfect if you wanted added privacy.
