What our customers say about their holidays

  Overall we had a lovely stay at Castle Cottage.

  The place was tidy and clean, and the owner very helpful. There has obviously been a lot of thought gone into the design of the cottage as a holiday home, and our dog was also made to feel very welcome with all the little extras. On a personal note, I found the property quite cold and the bathroom very cold at night. The heating was managed by the owner and was restricted in both time and temperature. Again, personally I didn’t find the beds comfortable and slept on top of the duvet to help with comfort. Also, the sofas look lovely, but are quite hard after a while. The kitchen was missing a few things, like measuring jug, casserole type dish for the oven, microwavable plates. The knives were very cheap and quite dangerous to use so didn’t bother with much cooking. Even with these small personal points, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the quiet location and quaint village of Saltwood. The font and back gardens were enclosed and great for the dog. Parking was never an issue even though you couldn’t park outside, there was always space in the car park. Hilary was attentive and quick to communicate throughout, and I have no doubt would have resolved any issues we may have had.

  An extremely well equipped and comfortable cottage.

  Just be aware as with these older buildings the stairs to bedrooms are quite steep, but the sensor controlled light fittings were a brilliant idea, as the bathroom is located downstairs. Village Pub located a short walk away, handy! Really enjoyed the stay, and it was only £6 each way for a taxi into Hythe to go for an evening meal, as the Restaurant in the village, other than the pub was Michelin starred and very pricey , a meal for two with wine over £230 at least!, As we were on a short break, we could have cooked using the excellent pots etc provided by the cottage, but chose not to do so. Cottage also handy for village shop. Thanks very much to the owner, the little thoughtful touches like providing shampoo and shower gel with lovely fluffy towels were much appreciated and a pleasant surprise. Beds were very comfortable as well.

  We had a wonderful stay at Castle Cottage.

  Parked the car and didn’t take it out again until we came home home which is just what we needed. There are some amazing walks right from the cottage and we covered about 10 miles a day (poor dog was exhausted !). The roads to Hythe are steep to start the walk back but with all the twittens even out nicely. There are walks around the castle which make a beautiful evening stroll. The country park up the road is another nice walk from cottage and around. The cottage was great - nice and clean and everything you need was right there. The stairs are steep especially the night when heading down for a wee, but you get used to it. Will definitely stay there again.

  Very well presented cottage with a friendly owner.

  We were staying for work in area Heating is operated by the owner via hive app this is first time we have ever not been able to control temperature of house ourselves and we would never stay in a property that uses this system. The owner was very helpful but cottage was freezing at times and we had to message to have heating put on. The bathroom is very cold. Stairs are steep. i would suggest owner lives for a week in property without direct access to phone to understand how it actual feels to have to request heating. Garden area was nice. No cleaning products for work surfaces etc or hoover provided.

  Castle Cottage was a wonderful place to stay for our 2 week visit to Saltwood/Hythe.

  The cottage is immaculate and the facilities were just what was needed. There were treats and bowls for Max our dog and walks straight from the door. The Castle pub serves good pub food and the shop stocks everything in a very small space! Loads to do and see in Hythe and the Royal Military canal is a must for a walk and the narrow gauge steam train to Dungeness is compact but great fun. We discovered Folkestone on our last day and it was well worth it - the Harbour Arm and old Railway Station area is a wonderful and imaginative example of regeneration.
