  We were greeted by the owner Diane, pretty hard to find the cottage when it’s pitch black and the instructions weren’t clear.

  The parking isn’t very convenient as we were supposed to park a long way from the cottage in a wooded area, however the lovely neighbour let us park in her drive!!! I have to say, the neighbours are absolutely delightful, so helpful and kind with assisting us with a lost parcel and showing us where to go when we arrived. They must get tired of people coming and going but didn’t show it at all. They were just lovely. The WIFI is terrible. We struggled all week to get a signal and mainly used all of our 4G up. It could do with Broadband and not 4G connection given how much people rely on their laptops and phones. Both beds were pretty hard and uncomfortable and the second bedroom could use two single beds instead of one double. Our twins are 14 and they weren’t keen on sharing a double bed together! Can’t imagine adults or other children would like that either. The kitchen is fairly well equipped but you wouldn’t want to cook a roast dinner as there is a lack of utilities. The property has a lot of character and is an interesting design. It does look as though pieces from varying houses have been placed in the house as nothing matches - modern, boho, Victorian pictures, mandala canvas, old chairs, up cycled chairs - it didn’t flow well & honestly looked like leftovers from other properties. The sofa in the lounge area was extremely uncomfortable. However the electric fire was cosy. The Prosecco was a nice touch as well as the dressing gowns and slippers. Would I recommend the property? Probably not - but we wouldn’t go back to the area again anyway. The neighbours were the highlight though as they were just so accommodating and friendly.

  Nice property, just a 2 mile walk from Deal seafront.

  Makes a nice walk with the dogs. Plenty of room to walk the dogs in the woods for their morning and evening ablutions. Nice large property with 2 lovely bedrooms. Loads of room for 2 couples upstairs but living room area may be a little cozy with 4 people in there. Kitchen was well equipped, but one thing my wife commented on was the lack of a measuring jug, or ovenproof dishes in which to prepare casserole type meals. The only 2 negatives for us was, it was very bad weather with storm Arlene blowing a gale and we could not get the rooms to heat up further than what they were set for. Tried to just turn the dial up a few degrees on the boiler, but to no avail.. Nothing in the notes and we didn't want to start messing with any of the boiler settings. Also didn't want to annoy the owners every 5 minutes. The sofa in the living room was not great at all. I think it must be amongst the top 3 list of uncomfortable things I've ever sat on. I would defy anyone to sit still for more than 10 minutes without having to rearrange their buttocks. We only had a 3 night break, so none of these things spoiled our stay, but I think a week would have been a different matter.

  The inaccuracy in the house description mainly lies in the fact the two double beds were actually small doubles (queen size) ans therefore unsuitable for 2 adults. Onw of our guests slept on an air bed. Other beds in the house were very soft, affecting our sleep. The house did not feel properly equipped as a holiday home. Many small details such as no hairdryer, a room with no light bulb so no source of light, nowhere to store clothes as drawers contained the families books, clothes etc. No bins in the annexe bedrooms or bathrooms. Pool maintenance was inadequate, therefore it turned green and very cloudy and was unusable for 2 days. Towels were very thin and barely possible to dry oneself but thankfully we'd brought our own pool towels so used these instead. But the house has a lot of potential as a holiday home and the grounds and tennis court were fantastic.

  Napier Cottage is a beautiful cottage placed in a perfect location opposite Kingsgate Bay. This cottage holds many childhood memories as it was once owned by my Grandparents. It’s really lovely to see how the new owners are looking after it, with it pretty much as I remembered. The cottage itself is very cosy especially with the open fire. It is very well equipped and clean. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. It was lovely going to sleep to the sound of the sea. The window seat looking out to the bay is a very relaxing. The pub up the road The Captain Digby is a 2 minute walk offering good food and service. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

  This is a hidden gem in the most beautiful location. The interior is so well designed with a mix of retro and modern but is also practical and comfortable. The attention to detail is amazing. This place is truly unique and you really feel a sense of the history here. Sitting eating breakfast looking out to sea was just fabulous. The views, the quiet beach across the road, a fabulous pub a few yards away on the headland , what more could you want. This is perfect for exploring the South coast and Broadstairs is on your doorstep which was lovely. A thoroughly wonderful stay and we genuinely didn't want to leave. If the owners ever want to sell, can we have first refusal please! ☺️
