  Very good location. A couple of miniutes walk from the beach with miles in either direction to walk along the shore. The links golf course at the back of the house meant scenic views across the area. Parts of the out of bounds area meant walkers were allowed to wander on the dune area next to the golf course which had wild birds visiting and resident , such as Skylarks nesting in the grasses. The Golf Club restaurant/Tea rooms/Licensed bar was conveniently out of the back gate and just across the car park with indoor and outdoor seating with a grassed area just in front of the putting practice area. The Jolly Fisherman in Greatstone about 30 minutes walk away did a very good Sunday Carvery. I booked in advance as it was Easter Sunday and the bar and restaurant were very busy. We visited Port Lympne Safari Park which was good. There is a station at Hamstreet about 10 mins drive with a free car park which allowed us to go by train to Canterbury (changing at Ashford) that was also good. The best trip was to Leeds Castle near Maidstone , about 45 mins drive. Spectacular looking place , being Easter there were lots of events and play areas for young children which were not used by us. But the Castle tour was particularly well organised with free headsets giving audio commentary , each room detected when you entered and so started the commentary but when it finished you could move on or not as suited you so you could photograph , linger and look at your own pace.

  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

  We all thought the cottage was lovely and in great condition, had a lot of character and a nice view over the golf course. I'd personally book again if I was going to the area. Bedrooms were great, especially the top with the ensuite. The weather was kind and mostly dry and sunny both days but windy on the Saturday. We went cycling both days. A round trip to Hythe following the beach and returning by the canal past the zoo. Plenty of stops for coffee and lunch on the way and a pint in the Star Inn on the way back. We ate in the Turkish restaurant in New Romsey for 2 nights - good value. We had a few beers and watched live music in the local pub at the far end of New Romney. We also had another ride to Dungeness which was interesting and stopped for a Fish roll on the way back - delicious. Overall it was a great weekend and we're thinking of making it a yearly event.

  Laurence was a super host and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The house is fantastic, one of those places that would be marvellous to own. Great location, clean and homely. And I have to mention - so well equipped. Obviously a well loved and looked after seaside home from home. We loved the kitchen in the basement, and the lounging area was such a cosy space. We had a delightful stay at Laurence`s house. It was perfect to spend Christmas in. Even down to the real Christmas tree beautifully decorated, flowers and other decorations all very tasteful. There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen so cooking a Christmas meal was easy. The beds were really comfortable so we all slept well. It is just a few steps up o the promenade and pier to watch the Boxing Day swim, We didn`t want to leave. Dec 2022

  This property is loved. It is extremely well equipped and feels like a cherished home. It was super to find ample fairy liquid, soap, tea and coffee. I also liked the fact that olive oil, flour and a few other 'leftovers' from previous guests were available for our use. There were lots of added extra touches including fresh flowers, a choice of games, DVDs, books and local information that all added to our positive experience. The property suited our family of 4 (plus dog) perfectly being located on the beach. Our young dog loved all the walks (beach is dog friendly until 1st May - I think!) and she settled to sleep in the kitchen without any problems. In addition the care taker could not have been more helpful. We felt this was a lucky find!
