About the host

Hosted by Paul

Host profile image
We’re longtime Rochester residents and live right next door to the guest house, which we built ourselves. After years of enjoying unique short-term rentals during our own travels, we wanted to create that same welcoming experience here in our historic hometown. We love sharing the charm, character, and community that make Rochester such a special place to visit.

Why they chose this property

Rochester has a timeless magic about it — a place where history whispers through the cobbled streets and the bells of the cathedral mark the rhythm of the day.

We love watching the sun dip over the River Medway, the old castle glowing in the evening light, and the bustle of the High Street giving way to cozy evenings in welcoming pubs.

The town is full of hidden gems — independent shops, inviting cafés, and restaurants that make every meal feel like a discovery. When the mood strikes, we wander to the nearby coastal towns for sea air and fresh seafood, or hop on a train to London for a burst of city energy before returning home to Rochester’s peaceful charm.

It’s a place that captures hearts — and we’re always delighted to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

The Secret Maisonette truly lives up to its name — a hidden gem tucked quietly away, offering peace and privacy just moments from the lively heart of Rochester.

Designed and built with care, it’s a one-of-a-kind space that blends warmth, character, and comfort in every detail.

Guests often say they feel instantly at home here — whether relaxing with a morning coffee in the soft light or unwinding after a day exploring the town’s historic streets.

With its own parking and completely self-contained layout, it’s a retreat made for those who love finding something special — a place you’ll remember long after your stay has ended.
