  Perfect midweek break, located centrally for several fabulous historic gardens we wanted to visit. This is a stunning, simple but modern cottage with two bedrooms that each have an en-suite toilet cleverly connecting to a shared shower; fully equipped kitchen diner and lovely spacious sitting room. There's a small patio with gorgeous views across the garden, and parking outside. The owner thoughtfully provided some basic provisions: bread, butter, eggs, milk etc. and made contact the day we arrived. The owner has written a very useful house guide and made some good recommendations for local shops, vineyards, restaurants and attractions to visit. This cottage is perfectly located for visiting properties such as Chartwell House, Sissinghurst Castle, Great Dixter, Bateman's, Pashley Manor, Hever Castle and Sarah Raven's Cutting Garden. The maximum distance was about 40 minutes drive time to the furthest we visited... are there are so many more to see!

  Lovely comfortable historic cottage and well equipped.

  Cosy and warm as we booked for March/early April which is still quite early in the season. Great to be able to see the sea from the main bedroom which was very smart. Plenty of bedding, comfortable beds and a quiet neighbourhood for a good nights sleep.Everything was very handy, seafront, shops, station and supermarkets. Our grown up family managed ok in the smaller bedrooms (they came for the long Easter weekend) and also with the one bathroom. Had to use the stool for fifth person at the dinner table! Loved the patio area, although we didn’t sit out there it makes the whole cottage feel light and airy. The stairs are steep as listed, but the set that are carpeted felt much safer! We came for walks and plenty of sea air! Weather although unsettled at times did not stop us doing anything we had planned. Deal, Sandwich, Kingsdown, White Cliffs walk from Dover, all very nice. Would recommend “Goose on the Green” in Walmer for brunch.

  We enjoyed our stay at Seashell cottage however parking was an issue.

  There is free parking on the seafront when you turn left at the bottom of North st BUT you just have to get lucky as it’s always full... I hate to think what it’s like in the summer! Also, there are 2 staircases in seashell cottage.. one should be avoided by small children or people a little unsteady on their feet as they’re just glossed wood and very slippery.. both very steep and twisty as you’d expect in a old cottage but I told my children to avoid the glossed wood staircase because I didn’t want any accidents. Also cleaning needs to be stepped up, I found some dodgy looking stains on a mattress protector and lots of cobwebs in the property not to mention dirty plates and an oven that I needed to clean before using. Seashell cottage is set in a great location and there’s lots to see in Deal, the cottage is well equipped too. I would return here but definitely not in the summer as I don’t think we’d get parking.

  We had such a relaxing and pleasant stay at Little Bourne. The cottage is in a lovely location, convenient for all the beautiful historic places to see, with the added bonus of being 5 minutes from Tonbridge Village and 10 minutes from Tonbridge Wells where you are spoilt for shops. The cottage was clean with every facility you could want and more. There is a car parking space allocated for you with simple entry to the cottage, 2 lovely bedrooms with en-suite to both. The kitchen was well equipped, also with a small dinning area. There was a spacious living room leading to a private patio area - superb! Karen, the host could not do enough! she was easy to contact and easy to talk to, friendly and helpful. We will be back for sure!

  The info from the owner prior to arrival was amazing.

  Location - almost on the beach was brilliant - late at night you could actually hear the waves crashing into the beach. Parking - no issue. Cottage - lovely just as described right down to the challenging stairs . The only problem with the cottage was the bathroom which really let the place down - dirty /old grouting behind the sink - poor anti slip bath mat - shower over bath not very effective turned hot/cold without warning if someone ran another tap - shower over bath so awkward for getting in/out especially as no additional hand rails to stop you slipping - tiling /grouting around base of toilet a bit ugh . Basically the bathroom really let the cottage down as everywhere else in the cottage was lovely and so comfortable.
