What our customers say about their holidays

  Main bedroom There was extensive mildewing in the en-suite wet room, the mat in the shower was disgusting on the underside and a strong smell of damp overall in that room. The bed in the main bedroom was broken and the metal bar holding it together just lying on the floor. The mattress protector in that room was very badly stained. Lounge There were stains on the blue sofa in the lounge. The windows were filthy as was the interior of the front door. Shower-rooms There was no bath in the property as was stated on the description. One of our guests had a stained towel. All the bathrooms had limescale on the taps giving the impression that they were unhygienic. None of the showers had mats to step out on to - every bathroom just had a hand towel. Kitchen The oven was very dirty, and we chose not to use it for that reason, it had dirty oven racks and trays. There were no tea towels in the kitchen, and we had been left only one dishwasher tablet for the 3 day stay. As a minimum we would have expected salt and pepper but there were just some left over sachets of pepper from a previous guest. A pint of milk for arrival would have been a nice touch. Generally Unfortunately, the property was very dirty. All the floors had not been swept or vacuumed and they certainly hadn't been washed in some time and the property needed dusting.

  We’ve had the most wonderful 5 day stay at Swallows Lodge.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need. The beds were super comfy with quality linen and duvets. Bathrooms were also spotlessly clean and the showers had excellent pressure. The log burning stove gave off a lovely warmth which added to the ambience. The information provided in the cottage in respect of using appliances etc and local services and places of interest was extremely comprehensive The owners left some sausages, minced beef, fresh milk and tea a coffee which was most welcome and delicious. The owners were welcoming without being intrusive and communication from booking until the end of our stay was excellent. The surroundings were peaceful and relaxing, which was just what we were looking for. We would not hesitate to recommend Swallows Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely be booking again.

  The cottage is stunning, we absolutely loved our stay! The location is brilliant and couldn't be better for a short stay in Whitstable - 1 minute walk from the high street and a couple of minutes to the beach! We loved the garden, it really is a little sun trap and we loved having the outdoor furniture to relax on. The cottage is very well equipped with lovely decor and very comfy beds with nice bedding. The kitchen has everything you need and it was a nice touch having some of the basics there too (teabags, oil, salt etc). It was easy to check in and out using the key safe and it was handy to have multiple sets of keys. The TV and Wifi worked well too. It can be a little noisy at night given there is a pub close by but this could happen anywhere so wouldn't put me off. Would definitely recommend staying here!

  We have just had a perfect weekend in this gorgeous place. It really feels as though this is somebody’s own holiday home that they rent out when not using it, as everything is fantastic quality, from the John Lewis bed linen (yes I had a look!) to all the Heals furnishings and a fully stocked kitchen. As someone with a bad back I especially appreciated the firm mattresses and had a great nights sleep. The dawn chorus of seagulls meant the window had to be closed in the morning, but aside from that it was really pretty quiet, despite being less than 5 minutes walk from the seafront. The space feels very calm - and we spent quite a lot of time relaxing in the lovely little garden as well. We’ll definitely be back and I would highly recommend!

  The cottage is in a lovely part of Kent, but it is well below the standard of a holiday cottage that I would expect. The exterior seemed neglected and apart from the bathroom, the interior dated with dingy lighting and uncomfortable furniture. In particular, the single bed mattress was very old and you could feel the springs. The owners were away on holiday at the time of our stay and said they could not do anything to improve the situation. The bedding and towels were clean. It was so uncomfortable, we cut our holiday short and left early. This may have been a nice place to stay in the past, but sadly, I could not recommend it.
