  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.

  Excellent property - can't fault it.

  The house was immaculately clean and well furnished, with tons of space in every room. Idea for family holiday. In our party we had a married couple (top floor double room with en suite), single adult (top floor double room with en suite), single adult (first floor double room - family bathroom) and two children (first floor twin room - family bathroom). So, plenty of space for us all to spread out. Location is a quiet close 5 minutes walk from the sea front - which was excellent. Owners provided plenty of games, books and DVDs, with a large TV in the living room. Welcome basket was a lovely touch, as well as the additional information the owners provided on the local area - places to eat, attractions, timetables etc. Overall, a fantastic property and place to stay. We would not hesitate to book The Hideaway Beach House again on our next visit to the area. Thank you so much to the owners for creating a wonderful place to spend our holiday.

  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.

  The welcome pack for this house exudes warmth, reinforced by a personal email from the owners and a very generous welcome basket.

  The house itself is excellent. Bright, quiet, very spacious and modern, it has a fantastic, well-equipped, kitchen and a lovely living area with a great view over part of the marshes - very relaxing! It's also perfectly located for walking the English Coast Path all the way from Rye to Dover, (which we comfortably managed in our week here). The stop for the 102 bus, which runs along the coast for that whole section, is just 4 or 5 minutes walk away. So convenient and, just as important, very reliable! There are plenty of restaurants, take-aways. convenience stores and even a large Sainsburys within 20 - 30 minutes walking distance, as well as an amazing tardis-like Spar just a 5 minute walk away. We had a wonderful week here exploring Rye, Dungeness, Dymchurch, Hythe, Folkestone and Dover as well as Littlestone itself.

  We had such a great holiday at The Hideaway Beach House.

  It was very spacious, very clean and had plenty of room for our family group of 5 adults, a 3 year old and a baby. We loved looking out at the cows in the field behind the back fence, little foxes chasing each other there in the evenings and so much happy birdsong. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area. We especially enjoyed a steam train ride, Rye, Hythe, Folkestone and of course Ashford for shopping on the one rainy day! The only improvement we would suggest is to have blackout blinds on the velux skylight windows as the bright early morning light wakened the children very early each day. Thank you to the owners for this lovely holiday home and so many thoughtful touches such as extra crockery, cutlery and a lovely welcome basket.
