What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a very enjoyable week at Holly Tree House.

  On arrival the property was spotlessly clean and some refreshments had been left for us which were much appreciated. The beds were very comfortable as was the lounge and the kitchen was equipped with everything one would need for a self-catering holiday with hot water always available. The only thing one needs to remember to bring is a Tea Towel. The shops and seafront were about a 10 min walk and we enjoyed Fish & Chips and a Chinese takeaway during our stay and had delicious tea and cake at Makcaris at the Bandstand in Herne Bay. There is a well stocked Morrisons and an ALDI in the town plus a Tesco Express very close to the property. We used Holly Tree House as a base to walk some of the Saxon Shore Way and visited Sheerness, Whitstable, Birchington, Westgate, Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate during our stay. We travelled to Herne Bay by train and Holly Tree House was in a most convenient location, being about a 6 min walk from the train station and the local buses stopped nearby too. We travelled on the trains most days and found them to be punctual and reliable but maybe we were just lucky! We hope to return to Holly Tree House again one day. Thank You very much to the owners.

  The house was clean, welcoming, and well maintained, including the gardens.

  Very helpful having a drive to park on. We were provided with a wonderful welcome box, tea & coffee, etc as well as other essential like washing-up liquid, washing machine pods, etc. The lounge was very comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing there in the evenings. The beds were also comfortable and we slept well. The area is quiet and it is only a short walk to the shops, the beach, the pier, and the train station, so is ideal if you can't or don't wish to drive. We really didn't want our holiday to end. I would more than happily return for a holiday again when I can, and highly recommend it to other people. My only regret is that I forgot to write in the visitor book, as I would have liked to have left a message.

  This was our second visit to this property and some changes were improvements.

  We were interested to find ants walking across the living room carpet, although not in numbers. We were also concerned about the attitude to vaping. It was lumped with smoking and drugs and the notice said, not within 500 metres of the front or rear garden. Whereas I can understand a request to not smoke or use drugs on the property, the 500 metres is ridiculous as the public footpath is about 5 meters from the front door and the immediate next door neighbour vapes. 500 metres takes you into the next street. Ridiculous. Also this information was not available until arrival and I think it should be available before booking. Otherwise the house is really lovely, comfortable and spacious with excellent parking.

  We had a wonderful holiday and thoroughly recommend staying in this home from home.

  It's a spacious property with lots of storage. The bed and sofas were really comfortable and everything was very clean and well maintained. The property is conveniently located within a few minutes walk of the seafront, railway station , bus stops and town centre so we didn't always need to use our car to get to places. We look forward to staying here in future. One slight improvement would be to have a warning note on the door leading from the kitchen to the utility area about the step down into the area. Also some of the pictures on the Sykes site need updating as they show the previous furniture that was in the kitchen/dining area as well as the more recent furniture.

  Holiday Tree House was a lovely place to stay, a real home from home and perfect for discovering Kent.

  The furniture in all rooms was very comfortable and the house was nice and warm. The only negative for us was that the kettle could have benefited from descaling and a water filter for filling the kettle would have been good.Coming from a hard water area ourselves we of course understand that the water is not the owners fault but a water filter would solve the issue of ‘scum’ on your tea. We did get around this by buying bottled water for filling the kettle so it was only a minor irritation. All in all we had a lovely time reconnecting with my cousins and rediscovering my roots
