We had a great couple of nights at Scott and Lizzies while visiting family. Thanks for the bread, milk and extras which were a lovely touch. Really comfy bed, powerful shower, nice and cozy place to chill. We will happily book again.

Nirvana Cottage

TinaRating, 5 starstoday
I was staying in the area for work purposes and stayed for 3 nights, Jane contacted me to confirm how to access the bungalow. Off road parking is a must for me to make things easier on me lol, the bungalow was easy to find and my satnav took me straight there, I had looked on google street view just to make it easier to identify but I do that for whenever I am going somewhere for the first time, especially when arriving when it's dark. The Bungalow was nice and warm for my arrival, all listed amenities were there and looked like the photos, the area was also quiet which again I personally appreciated, I would recommend Jane's bungalow :) My only recommendation for anyone staying is to make sure you bring any supplies i.e. milk, tea, coffee etc this is fine for me as i usually do but just to help others.

Sunshine Villa Broadstairs sleeps 8 close to beach

TeresaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Had a lovely stay in Jeanette's House. Ideally situated for walks along the coast and just a minute from the town and all the fabulous restaurants. House as in pictures, very spacious and ideal for a large group of people as plenty of seating in the lounge as so often isn't the case in lots of air Bnb's. Would highly recommend! Janette also let us book in earlier that stated which was much appreciated. I do have a slight niggle about having to strip the beds at the end of your stay as I think at this price point you shouldn't have to do that! I still rate it highly but just thought I would mention it as some of my fellow guests weren't entirely happy about that! Having said that it didn't take away our enjoyment of our stay and would definitely recommend a visit here!

Everything about house was superb. Location, content etc. The christmas tree was nice touch. The only downside was that we didnt seem to have total control of the heating although the Nest was easy to use. Will definitely return.

Fabulous historic seaside cottage by the sea

AntonyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our short stay at Serene House - a beautiful and characteristic cottage right in the heart of Broadstairs. The house was cute and cosy and a stone's throw from the beach and loads of restaurants, pubs and cafes. Penny was very responsive in the lead up and left lots of useful items and small touches to make us feel welcome and ensure we had what we needed.
