We stopped here for 4 nights to see a part of the country we had never been to. The cottage was ideally situated for Herne bay and Whitstable, and not too far away from Margate.Cottage is modern and had all the amenities we could wish for in a holiday cottage.Our hosts were welcoming and friendly.Would definitely go back if we come to the area again.

Everything was just fine. There are some pubs and a garden centre nearby. There are many towns and places to go, from this delightful cottage, in all directions. The 'Whitstable Pearl' is your oyster.We have been before and will no doubt go again.

Overall the cottage was fine, very clean, great location, good facilities - other than the sink in the shower room, which is exceptionally small and very difficult even to shave in. My wife struggled with the steep stairs as she has mobility issues but managed to cope. Just worth adding that it was ideal for our dog, with the large field directly to the front of the property.
