Mallard CottageGuest House

Mallard Cottage Guest House occupies a house on New Hythe Lane in the Larkfield area of Aylesford, close to the River Medway crossing between Aylesford and Snodland. The guest house is run directly by its owner rather than through a management company, with a small number of rooms let on a bed-and-breakfast basis, a shared lounge, garden and barbecue area, and free on-site parking. Breakfast is continental, taken in a communal area, and rooms have en-suite facilities, tea and coffee making equipment and free wifi throughout. Guests booking through the major travel platforms have rated the property around 8.5 out of 10 through 2025, commonly mentioning the welcome from the owner and the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The house sits away from Aylesford's high street, within reach of the Medway Valley Walk and villages on both sides of the river, and functions as a single small guest house rather than part of a wider hotel or B&B group.
