What our guests really think

Customs house 4.8/5

"A great week's stay for all our family with lots to do locally, I would certainly go back for another holiday."

Andrew Ferguson | 17 August 2021

Wonderful spot 5/5

"What a great house, in a wonderful spot of a lovely town. We had a great time and would highly recommend this house. Very easily accessed and all very clean and tidy too."

Ben Riley | 27 September 2021

Family holiday 4.7/5

"We hired Customs House for a family holiday over the October half term. We were a group of 17 and two dogs. The house was spacious and more than large enough to cater for the group. The beds were very comfortable and there was always hot water despite so many people in the house. Location was great with lots of restaurants and bars in Faversham to chose from. The quay in which the house is located on also had a couple of nice bars and antique shops to look around. Would definitely recommended for a family holiday."

Sally Leach | 1 November 2021

Great location 4.3/5

"Great location, ideal for family get togethers with restaurants and bars close by. Beautiful house - spacious bedrooms, nice dining area and clean, functional bathrooms. Could improve on finishing touches - living room furniture is a bit outdated and kitchen could be better equipped - e.g. only 1 functioning frying pan (2 others needed replacing), kettles furred up and family size dishwasher not really adequate for larger parties of 8 or more - we were 15! Door handles need fixing too - they have a tendency to fall off."

Miles Robinson | 27 June 2022

"Beautiful comfortable house, lovely beds. Definitely worth eating at Albion Taverna, mexican - lovely food! About a 10 minute walk. Thank you!"

Maskells & Friends | 2 January 2020

"Lovely house to spend a Christmas break in with an entire family. Beds are extremely comfortable and space was perfect for all of us. Good location too. We enjoyed our stay here. Thank you."

Marianne & Family | 29 December 2019

"Fabulous house, warm and perfect for a group of friends to get together. Stunning furnishings, could not be more perfect."

Pelkett Family | 1 December 2019

"Lovely family home finished to a very high standard with all mod cons. Nice garden, lovely owners who are very approachable and only a phone call away if needed. Would definitely recommend."
