  A clean and well equipped house but as this property is over 4 floors there are a lot of stairs to climb and holiday-makers need to bear this in mind when booking the house.

  The house was clean and well appointed with a large kitchen area, The property caters for 6no people but there are only two sofas and 6 people on these would be a tight squeeze there were no other comfy chairs to sit on the house needs either larger sofas or two airchairs .The kitchen had all the cooking utensils required and more than enough glasses & plates, The Neff dishwasher had no salt or rinse aid and was completely empty of both and when we filled up the machine at our expense with salt & rinse aid it was obvious that the machine had not been filled in months, The garden at the back was small and overlooked by all the other house at the rear of the property so there was no privacy, This area was more a "yard" than a garden, ok if you wanted to barbecue but not much else .The undercroft car parking space was not very wide and a large 4x4 would struggle to park, The property was ideally situated for the pebble beach (no sand for young children ) Hythe as a town was well served by a Waitrose & Sainsburys supermarket and a delightful old fashioned High Street with plenty of pubs and restaurants also plenty of parking at £1.20 per hour The "jewel in the crown" is the Royal Military Canal with lovely walks and boats for hire,

  The property is very modern and clean.

  The kitchen was fitted out very well and equipped with plenty of utensils, dishes, cutlery and pans etc. There is a microwave oven despite previous feedback stating otherwise and is very simple to use. There was also washing up liquid & dishwasher tablets provided including tea towels, sponges, hand-wash, bin liners and cleaning products. There were plenty of clean towels and the beds & pillows were very comfortable. The Sky + TV is a great touch especially when the weather isnt great for a lazy day in. The instructions are very clear and useful including instruction manuals, local attraction and eatery leaflets.The Lazy Shack cafe and shop which is a stone throw away(1 min walk) is excellent and the property generally is located very well near the high street with plenty of nearby places to eat and shop. The parking was very good with the use of the under croft car port and an additional space in front of the property. Overall one of the best places we have stayed in as a young family. We would highly recommend this property.

  We had a wonderful Easter break at this cottage. We were two couples and three children (6, 7 and 10) and it was ideal. We were very disappointed initially to find there was no log burner or fire at the house. The description mentioned two original fireplaces which we assumed meant there was a fire but this is not the case. I’d suggest they make this clear to guest by adding ‘ornamental’ to the listing to avoid disappointing those looking to huddle round the fire when it’s chilly. Aside from this the house was ideal. Full of character, cosy, clean and well equipped. Sometimes holiday cottages can lack soul and warmth but this house has that in abundance. The kids absolutely loved it and spent most of the time up the tree in the garden and building dens, and when inside, hide and seek. Great location too. Though if you plan to Whitstable for a meal I’d suggest booking ahead and leave plenty of time to find parking. Leeds castle in Maidstone was a fantastic day out, although there is plenty to do on the doorstep too.

  Great location, lovely to have the sea view & Griggs for Breakfast or Brunch only a 2 minute walk.

  The accommodation was spotlessly clean on our arrival, the communal areas were comfortable & sociable for 6 of us (all adults) Each bedroom was super comfortable & 3 bathrooms meant there were never any queues. If you’re a light sleeper on light mornings then eye masks will be useful if you want a lie in. Aldi & Waitrose are both walkable (but for a big shop take a car or several people to carry shopping bags!) There are also a great selection of restaurants & pubs serving food, if you don’t wish to use the very good cooking facilities in number 7(add a large casserole pot/saucepan along with sharp knives & it’d be excellent!) Hythe has a wealth of British history to discover, and with the train to Dungeness coupled with walks along the coast & inland we’d definitely like to return to see more of it & no 7 Ocean Gateway is ideally positioned to make the most of this area.

  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
