The views were stunning especially seeing the horses in the fields. The beds were all very comfortable and the house spotlessly clean All the equipment we needed was provided and the hosts Martin and Paula were very friendly. We would certainly recommend this house to anyone wishing to spend time with family and friends. It was lovely This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 3 Jun 2024 #### A beautiful home! This past weekend we celebrated my sisters bridal shower and it was the perfect location for a nice relaxing girls getaway. The house is so nice and spacious, with views of never ending fields. We were able to go visit the horses next door and it was a short drive in to town. Overall, we all had an amazing time! The owner was very kind and helpful too. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leena H. 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Stay at The Homestead - Chaucer House We spent the bank holiday weekend at this lovely property and had an excellent experience. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortably accommodated our group of 12\. The beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed stunning views of the countryside fields. A highlight of our stay was the presence of four beautiful horses and a friendly pony, which added a special touch to our visit. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the dining area featured a large table perfect for our entire group to eat together. Additionally, the property is conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from Canterbury. Martin is a wonderful host, and we would definitely love to return to this property in the future. Highly recommended! ##### Leena H.

The house was bigger and brighter than expected - all guests that arrived said the pictures do not do it justice. The place was well-equipped and the beds were very surprisingly comfortable. The location was beautiful and in a scenic area. I enjoyed a few cups of tea in the morning sun and at night looking up at the many stars. With the lovely weather we felt like we were further away from our homes in London 1-2 hours away. We went for a group walk to really take it in! Check-in was very quick with the host just requiring a call when we were on the way and letting us get settled within 2 mins of meeting us. Although this was lovely at the time, it became my only gripe as we were unaware of the check-out process and considerable clean-up expectations (in comparison to other staycation homes and hotels) which could have been explained at check-in. Overall a VERY pleasant experience and I would highly recommend The Homestead for any groups seeking a private, tranquil getaway. Just beautiful ##### Michaela S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johnathan J. 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good weekend Good weekend and the house assisted with that. ##### Johnathan J.

Everyone had such a lovely time, the house and grounds are beautiful, lovely views from the rooms, kitchen is perfect for hosting dinner and Martin is a wonderful and charming host. A pleasure to visit Canterbury and stay in such a lovely location and home.

The house was perfect for our murder mystery dinner evening with the large table seating 16 people and spacious kitchen. Beautiful grounds over looking fields and woodland. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Only a short 10-15 drive into the centre of Canterbury. Would definitely recommend and stay again with family.

Plenty of space for a large group. A little more crockery, cutlery & dishesetc would be helpful for such a large group. Hard to find had to ring owner who said we needed to turn by ‘Cobwebs’ sign (not on directions) ##### Michael C.

We were told we could bring our dog only to be told he had to be on a lead at all times even though there was a garden. This meant we had to keep all the doors closed. We walked our 4 year old twins to see the horses to be told they’d better keep away from the fences as they are all electrified. ##### Amanda F.

We had everything that we needed and it was perfect for a group of friends to stay in and have their own space. Lovely spacious property. To be honest we were happy with everything. If we had anything to say that wasn’t positive is that the property was tricky to find as there is no sign on the road!! Otherwise we loved it. ##### Katie M.

It is very large with large socialising space and so is perfect for larger groups. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a large American fridge which is perfect for the number of guests the house can accomodate. We couldn't have asked for better hosts who were more than happy to cater for our every need. The house was immaculately clean and we were incredibly comfortable throughout our stay. We would love to come back again! ##### Esi A. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Footpath Cottages at Reynolds Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Footpath-Cottages-At-Reynolds-Farm.h37760635.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeywood Lodge by Bloom Stays with Indoor Pool ideal for families and children](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Honeywood-Lodge-By-Bloom-Stays-With-Indoor-Pool-Ideal-For-Families-And-Children.h50918285.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Broome Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Broome-Park-Hotel.h1936449.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grove Ferry Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-The-Grove-Ferry-Inn.h3303605.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Evenhill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-The-Evenhill.h1208460.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Canterbury.h434218.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Howfield Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Howfield-Manor-Hotel.h554894.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) ---
