  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.

  On arrival the parking space was not obvious at all, ie no lines painted etc.

  We knocked on door of unhappy neighbour to see where it was. The neighbour had parked his van badly so after a 7 hour drive it was very tricky to park. Especially as he had an extra vehicle parked right next to the stairs down to the appt. Then the outside light didn’t come on to guide us down to the front door of the appt. It was raining and slippy and fairly steep with a handrail so we had to use our phone torches. Stress factor 10. Once inside it is a really stylish apartment immaculately presented and everything was very comfortable. However there was no welcome pack information folder so as it was freezing cold it was hard to work out how to change the heating system initially. More stress. Apartment was equipped with bathroom toiletries, tea coffee sugar etc and a bin liner and kitchen roll and 2 tea towels but that was it! So no salt and pepper, no milk in the fridge, no washing up brush or sponge scourer, no dishwasher tablet and no fairy liquid. Tesco’s isn’t far away but had it been closed.. also mirror light in bathroom not working. nightmare. Recommendations.. welcome pack, tidy up steps down to look more welcoming, check lighting, masonry paint view from lounge dining area outside as unloved and ugly, not befitting the lovely interior of the appt. Great proximity to centre, stylish apartment but hated parking situation having to knock on neighbours doors.

  The property is spotlessly clean, tidy, comfortable and very close to the city centre.

  However, I don't feel that the description regarding the parking situation is correct. It stated that the middle parking space is for the ground floor flat, and yes, also that it is first come first served. In fact, one of the flats had two vehicles parked and one of the vehicles was continuously using the middle space. When we enquired with the person who owned the vehicle, we were told that we shouldn't be parking there anyway. It would be much more accurate simply to state that you need to make alternate arrangements, rather than arriving with an expectation of being able to park outside the flat. Also, there is very limited space alongside each side of the double bed in the smaller bedroom and the right hand side has a radiator on the wall as well which makes it awkward to get into the bed. It wouldn't be suitable for a person with mobility issues but the single beds in the bigger room are more accessible.

  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.
