We’ve really loved staying in this house. It’s a beautiful place in a great location. However, a few key issues let it down. Most importantly, the fridge/freezer needs replacing as it doesn’t work properly. Regardless of whether the property is up for sale, renting it out is still a business and guests should expect basic amenities to be in full working order.Additionally, the TV doesn’t offer access to the main channels, which was a bit of a disappointment.Overall it's a lovely property and we’ve enjoyed our time there. just a shame the owners don’t seem willing to invest in essential upkeep for their guests’ comfort.

The property was in a fantastic location with views of the sea. It was a 10 min walk to Ramsgate Harbour which is packed with good restaurants, pubs & shops. The property itself is good & the hosts left us a lovely welcome pack. The only drawback is that there is no lighting outside the property which was a drawback when arriving back late at night after a day of walking. And the key safe was at the very bottom of the front door, which was not a problem for us but if you have mobility issues it may be a struggle. And also as there is no light to help you if you arrive & it is dark. But please do not be put off by this as it was only 2 minor points and if we travel back to this beautiful area we would use again.

We had such a lovely holiday at Coastguard Retreat. The cottage has lots of character, and is very well equipped, and comfortable. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, which included a bottle of rosè, and a vase of beautiful fresh flowers. The location is superb, with fabulous sea views, and few minutes walk to Ramsgate Harbour, and the King George VI Memorial Park. The cottage has a large communal grassed area, ideal if you have a dog or children, and the location is quite and peaceful. I would highly recommend.
