About Beckets House
This stylish self-catering holiday home has just been refurbished to a high standard offering comfortable spacious accommodation on three floors. There is an excellent kitchen and contemporary sunroom at the back of the house, with fully retractable doors straight onto the good sized rear garden with tables and chairs to enjoy those lazy summer days.
The rooms are all of a good size and the owners have retained many of the original features of this attractive period house. The sitting room has a lovely bay window with sofas grouped around the fully working original fireplace and lots of space to relax.
Service rating : We had no problems with service, there wasn't much contact but we didn't need anything else. However the information regarding Becket House in Canterbury was not up to scratch, particularly regarding the parking situation, and there were some small issues with the property itself. I assume this is the responsibility of the owners I feel that the agents should also be checking up on anything that affects customer experience.
Product : Good points: Lovely house full of character, family room extension very pleasant, nice little garden, lots of hot water/heating and very well situated for walking into Canterbury, taking the train or driving to nearby attractions. However parking is really difficult and this was not made clear at all in advance, the summary of the property mentions parking down the road at a daily rate but the longest you can park for is 4 hours. Nearby there are car parks but all are exorbitant and we couldn't find anywhere to leave the car for a complete 24 hour period. If this is the case your guests should be aware, if it isn't and we missed a good option it needs to be included in the information. There were also some little things which would have made the stay more comfortable, in particular larger towels and a mirror in each bedroom.
Even though the house in Canterbury was exceptional, the people at the agency in Mulberry Cottages contacted me only to ask for the pending amounts, bearing in mind that I paid always on time. They would not answer to my specific queries. It was all very impersonal and distant.
