What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  We were a party of 6. Elderly parents were able to manage the stairs and enjoyed their stay in the superking bed with massive en-suite. We walked to Victual restaurant on our first night . Lovely run place with good food. Weather was very good and spent a lot of time strolling up the promenade and sitting on the various benches, watching the world go by. The town house is situated in a perfect location and the roads were very quiet. Wa expecting to be woken by noisy gulls in the morning but this didn`t happen. Laurence had thought of everything to make a stay comfortable. We didn`t think we would use the courtyard but we all used it a lot. Laurence is a very good host and was happy to assist me with something before our arrival which was very kind. We would definitely stay again and also thought what a great winter stay the house would make also. Thanks again Laurence. July 2023

  Laurence was a super host and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The house is fantastic, one of those places that would be marvellous to own. Great location, clean and homely. And I have to mention - so well equipped. Obviously a well loved and looked after seaside home from home. We loved the kitchen in the basement, and the lounging area was such a cosy space. We had a delightful stay at Laurence`s house. It was perfect to spend Christmas in. Even down to the real Christmas tree beautifully decorated, flowers and other decorations all very tasteful. There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen so cooking a Christmas meal was easy. The beds were really comfortable so we all slept well. It is just a few steps up o the promenade and pier to watch the Boxing Day swim, We didn`t want to leave. Dec 2022

  We had a wonderful week with family and friends at this fantastic house, which is superbly situated in a quiet, private road directly opposite the beach. The house is extremely comfortable and well-appointed, with plenty of features to keep both adults and children happy. We all loved the hot tub (especially after a dip in the sea!), the games room, the huge dining table and the overall space. Waking up to the stunning sea views was pretty special! The children loved the newly installed multi-purpose games area outside, and we were never short of something to do. Easy walking and cycling literally on the doorstep were an added bonus for our group. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout, and the phone call prior to arrival extremely helpful. We've already booked to return later in the year!
