  What a delightful cottage with oodles of character!

  !!By . The surroundings were so peaceful and if you want somewhere to relax and unwind, this is the place for you. The owners were so thoughtful in catering to the needs of holidaymakers and went above and beyond to leave things that you might possibly need. We had milk,eggs, butter, bread and a bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival and little touches,such as doggy towels to use for our wet pooches. We could stay in the cottage and walk the dogs through fields and woods right outside the door or we could go to the nearest beach 2 miles away. The cottage was ideal as a base to visit Canterbury, Ramsgate, Herne Bay and Broadstairs which were on my 'must do 'list. Although the cottage had everything for cooking a meal, we always eat out on holiday. We found the ' king Ethelbert' pub at nearby Reculver had a good selection of meals at reasonable prices and their Sunday roast was delicious. We were very impressed with Sykes as a holiday company and always find their description of a cottage to be accurate. Booking a holiday is always straightforward and easy to do online. Will definitely be using them again. By the way, the owners dog 'Wliiow' is an absolute darling and doesn't mind strange people or dogs, she came to say 'hello' to us once then left us to our own devices.

  This cottage is comfortable and spacious.

  It was ideal for our two labradors and large enough for them each to find their own space so they settled in straight away. The private enclosed garden that went right around the cottage with doors leading to it from the front and the back was great and a gate in the hedge leads into a field with another gate into an apple orchard which was great for a morning walk before setting off in the car. Debbie and Ken immediately responded to our every need and left a generous welcome basket including eggs, milk and bread. We loved the comfortable carpet and rugs in all the right places and having three loos and two bathrooms plus a basin in the bedroom was a luxury. We found lots to do in the surrounding area including beaches, a nature reserve, beautiful gardens in sandwich. Faversham and Ruculver, with it's Roman Fort were well worth a visit as well as the East Kent Railway stations. We found lots of dog friendly pubs serving good food and a farm shop with fresh produce to cook in the kitchen at Brew cottage which is great value for money. We are already planning a return visit for next year as there is lots more to see that we did not get to this time and the cottage was perfect for us and our doggie family who loved the resident Spaniels Jess and Willow.

  Brew Cottage is lovely, when we arrived it was warm and cosy and felt like home away from home.

  Unfortunately two of us were 6ft tall and had a few bumps on the low beams but soon remembered to duck! Nice welcome pack - thank you. There was everything you could need in the kitchen. Lots of games, DVD's and books to keep you entertained. Loads of good quality towels in the bathrooms and towels together with a large throw for the dogs. Both of the dogs settled really quickly and the enclosed garden was bigger than I had imagined. Next to the cottage is a paddock we could walk in and an orchard further down where there is a footpath so definitely a dog friendly environment. The bedrooms were comfortable and nicely decorated. The heating was really effective and generously left on for 17 hours a day. Although Brew Cottage is in the middle of nowhere you were only a few miles away sea. Being there during storm Ciaran meant we didn't ventre far for a couple of days but we were happy relaxing in Brew Cottage. Wouldn't hesitate to book again with the owners next door happy to provide assistance if needed. I'm only sorry we didn't meet Willow perhaps next time x Thank you.

  This is a beautiful cottage set in the heart of the countryside but, by car, conveniently close to the coastline.

  It has all the charm and appeal of an old home but also modern day conveniences. We found it very comfortable and spacious for a family of three – and also dog friendly. The kitchen is well equipped and has plenty of room and, as promised, the garden is an afternoon suntrap. Also, as advertised by your friendly hosts, there is the chance of a visit from their energetic young spaniel Willow, which our own playful puppy was delighted about! In terms of places to visit, Whitstable and Margate are very different seaside towns but both very enjoyable in their own ways and are easily reached. That said, we did not venture out too much in the evenings, enjoying the surroundings of the cosy cottage instead.

  Brew Cottage is delightful and exactly as explained in the listing.

  It is in a very quiet hamlet, but easy walking distance to the local village, where there is a lovely pub (The Gate). The cottage was ideal for our family (two adults and two Labradors). The cottage has direct access on to a Public Footpath and there are many paths from the location. The setting is also gated so your vehicle is very safe. There was a lovely welcome gift on arrival and the owners could not have done more to make us feel welcome (even laying on blankets for the dogs). We found the wider area as a whole (the towns and roads) quite busy but Reculver Beach is a must for dogs and a swim. We will be back!
