Beautiful 2 bedroom seaside retreat great location

IrynaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We've had a nice August Bank Holiday weekend at Lee's place. The caravan was clean, tidy and well looked after. A travel cot and a high chair were both available, which really helped us. There was a chilled bottle in the fridge (for adults) and games and books available (for kids). It was very thoughtful of Lee. It was a shame that the Saturday was an absolute washout and we couldn't explore the area. But this is the British summer for you! You would need to buy a day pass for any entertainment (5min walk from the caravan). However, only the swimming and the entrance to the pub and the arcade is included in the day pass. Any other activities you wish to try need to be paid for separately. Also it's worth checking swimming availability first, before purchasing the day pass, as swim times are limited. The bakery just round the corner on the main street was a great discovery. Nice walks with the kids by the sea were good too. Lee's place was great and he is a very good host.

16th Century Manor One weekend in May is free

KarenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We were a party of ten adults and one child staying at Martin’s home for the weekend. The property was superb, wonderfully decorated and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The gardens were beautiful. We were lucky to be blessed with fabulous weather and made the most of it. We were also lucky to be visiting during lambing season. Watching lambs being born was quite an experience. I would highly recommend this property and hope to revisit again one day

Sunshine Villa Broadstairs sleeps 8 close to beach

PaolaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is our second time at Janette’s place and we will certainly come back. This time we were joined by our friends to celebrate two special bdays. We had a great weekend. Janette’s house is stunning, extremely comfortable, it has everything you need. We were able to cook a lovely dinner on Saturday night and it was like being in our own home. The place is spotless, a close proximity to the beach and loads of lovely restaurants. We couldn’t ask for any better than this. Thank you x

The Beach House, family friendly pad on the beach.

HayleyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
As a family of 6 with 4 kids (ages 2 - 11) all with different characters we loved our stay at the beach house and would definitely return. Sarah sent clear, easy to follow instructions for check in. A few stand out things that made our break excellent; the beachfront location, you literally walk out the back gate onto the dunes; the spaciousness of the house, we didnt feel on top of each other but plenty of areas to be together aswell; the cleanliness of the place was fantastic, it was also well equiped and nice little touches the kids enjoyed such as the board games. The area is also interesting and somewhere we have never explored before, we came for a more chilled few days so stayed local but still plenty to see. A couple of highlights were Dungeness nature reserve & the RSPB walks. Our youngest children enjoyed the play park which is a short walk, everyone liked the ice cream and fish & chips, shell collecting and the freedom of the beach on the doorstep.

Beach House - Sea view & Hot Tub & Fibre Broadband

LornaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a wonderful stay at Victoria’s beautiful beach property! We were 4 adults with 4 children and it was perfect. Plenty to do in the area, we went to rye and camber sands. House has everything you need for cooking. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and double oven. Hot tub was very much appreciated once the children were in bed!! Highly recommended
