Beechfield Cottages - Gravesend

Jennifer D.

Stayed here with a friend recently. It was so lovely and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing stay away (but not too far) from the city. Felt like a home away from home.

I think if a hot tub was provided for warmer months it would just be absolute perfection. (Just an idea)

We stayed in " The Chicken Shed" (part of Beechwood Cottages accommodation ) in Feb 2025 with friends who stayed in the other on site Cottage ( Railway Cottage ) ( both Dog friendly) we found the cottage very well equipped with comfortable with quality furnishings and bedding , the Cottage was spacious and very warm and the kitchen and shower room both modern and well finished (excellent shower ! ) There was a very generous welcome pack that consisted of Bread , Butter, Milk, Tea, Coffee , Jams and Marmalade , Sausages , Bacon and Eggs and cereals. The owners live on site and were very friendly and helpful when we needed advice about local restaurants etc. we would certainly stay here again !|TIPS.| Take a torch, you may need it if you arrive in the dark|| If you need a Cab , try and book in advance , they are usually very busy , ( we | used " Jet Cabs" and they were very efficient )|| The driveway down to the Cottages can be muddy in wet weather so be | prepared

We have just returned home after 3 nights at The Railway Cottage. We had a lovely stay and Cathy is so friendly and helpful! The bed is super comfy and the breakfast items provided are really tasty. It had everything we needed and it was a really peaceful stay. Thank you!

Unfortunately, we would not stay again. It was not very clean at all. First impressions it looks clean enough, but really isn't, very thoughtful supplying a full English breakfast, plus extras, too, tho. We appreciated this,
even the knifes and forks were dirty, filthy windows, behind the toilet when laying in the bath was gross, shower head cover in limescale, just In need of a deep clean and not just a wipe over. The host was attentive, and it was easy enough to find. funny/horrible smell, coming from cupboard in the lounge,I don't like to be negative, but we were disappointed 😔

We stayed at the Chicken Shed - being 2 adults, 2 kids and a spaniel. All welcome, with the fenced garden being useful for the dog and a versatile open-plan space inside.||||The hosts left bountiful breakfast supplies, for cooked and continental, and a couple of treats for us. We all slept upstairs which I think was the right setup for us, avoiding conversion of the sofa bed - and there's no door on the bedroom so it's not as if you'd ever be truly separated.||||The decor is nice and things are pretty much just as you would want. Location is handy for car (we went to beach and Rochester among other spots) and pleasant as a walking start point.||||It's not the cheapest place you could stay, and it can't be perfect. But it's a one-off build with a full kitchen to self cater (and no trace of actual chickens living there, which I think is probably a good thing). We find that dog-friendly accommodation is not that common, and it certainly doesn't always have the pleasant views here.

We rented both The Chicken Shed and The Railway Cottage for a reunion with other family members living nearby, having found it really difficult to find suitable self-catering accommodation in the area. Our hosts were helpful, flexible and quick to respond to our enquiry, booking was straightforward and directions to the property were easy to follow.||Both cottages were very well-equipped, clean, warm and comfortable, in calm, peaceful surroundings with great views of the surrounding countryside. The breakfast pack was excellent, including eggs, bacon, sausages, bread, milk and cereal - probably the best welcome pack we've ever received at a short term rental property, and very much appreciated! ||The low sloping ceiling in the bedroom of The Chicken Shed may not be ideal for taller people. Both cottages have plenty of space inside and have lovely private garden areas. The hosts have several dogs, but the only time we heard them bark was on our way in and out of the property...otherwise, the only sounds were from birdsong, it was a very peaceful, relaxing place to stay.

Stayed at the “Chicken Shed” again (last time a few years also). It has been completely refurbished and transformed into a fab cottage. New shower room and kitchen with a contemporary Colour scheme. Very homely, warm & comfortable and well equipped. Lovely secluded garden with fantastic views. Highly recommend a stay and Cath & Stephen are lovely & friendly hosts.

Another stay at The Railway Cottage, as usual made very welcome. Even better now that the garden is fenced so safe for our 2 jack Russell's Tommy and Max. Clean tidy and well appointed. Comfortable bed. New TV. Biscuits were very nice. We stay here regularly when visiting family in Rochester. Thanks Cathy xxxx
