It's located on a quiet street with a beautiful view of the sea. The walking distance to the town center with shops , pubs and stores is really short. What impressed us most is how well equipped and well maintained the whole house is. A great thanks to Rob for his quick response to our questions. I can only highly recommend Kits Cottage!

Not only was it clean, bright and comfortable, but the view over St Leonard's church and on to the sea is wonderful, the garden looked (and sounded) fantastic, and there were lots of thoughtful practical touches which made it easy to settle in and live for the week. We liked Hythe and the surrounding area too and will certainly try to book Kit's Cottage again whenever we return.
