Be aware that the first message you'll receive after booking is a request to pay £25 for accidental damage insurance, so worth taking that into consideration when looking at the overall cost. The cleaning fee of £120 also struck me as being incredibly high, especially since when we got there, the cottage was not super clean either. I guess it's to be expected with an older cottage, but it still stung. But the location is amazing, down a really quiet, cute, leafy street, and the cottage looks lovely when you first approach it. If you put aside the two points above, we had a lovely time in the cottage, and we were lucky with the weather so we were able to make full use of the garden too. The kitchen is well-equipped and everything worked fine in the cottage. Self check-in and check-out was very easy. The communications with the agency were all automated, but they send you all the information you need, so I didn't need to contact them for anything else.

We had a fantastic three nights at Bere Cottage in May. Quiet location, but accessible and with own driveway, everything worked well. The kids loved the open fire and exploring/discovering the cottage (always under supervision, especially on the stairs), there were even toys, puzzles and books which happened to match their interests perfectly! The main areas, like the bathtub, we found to be very clean. Will bring slippers if we hopefully stay again as the stone kitchen floor is cold.

We left the property 3 days earlier as it was unacceptable. Upon arrival, the host refused to hand out the access code to get the keys unless we paid an extra £25 for a so called “break cover”. This extra cost was not stated on the Airbnb booking and there was no option to decline this “insurance fee”. As we went to enter the house, we found two dead mice at the doorway of the property, and there were dead insects on carpets, sofa, window sills, .... . In other words, the property hasn’t been cleaned or vacuumed very well at all. In the kitchen, most of the dishes, cups and cutlery had not been washed well. They were covered in stains as well as had a thin greasy film covering them. In the evening we went to use the TV only to find the remote control had not been supplied with batteries and there were no spares in any cupboards. The description of the bedrooms in the house was very misleading. One of the two bedrooms was only accessible via the other bedroom.

Bere Cottage is well placed to explore this part of Kent. It’s a lovely, period cottage in a quiet & peaceful location with easy access to great walking & a nice pub very nearby. Kitchen, passageways & bathroom are compact, furnishings/carpets a little tired yet it was comfortable & cosy enough for two of us.
