Browse our collection of carefully chosen places to stay in Kent. Every one of the self-catering cottages, hotels, inns and B&Bs we work with has been personally inspected by our team, who check it for quality and comfort, but also character and creativity.  

Since the 90s, we’ve been championing small-scale providers, helping them survive in an industry increasingly dominated by massive booking platforms and chain hotels. We put you directly in touch with them, saving them commission and letting them keep doing what they do, how they want to do it. 

Their great work and our rigorous selection process mean that you can skip the trawl through identical soulless rooms and get straight to places made with passion and personality.
