Guests say
Vitamin Sea Residency is a cosy and stylish cottage praised for its proximity to Herne Bay, local amenities, and transport links. Guests have enjoyed the comfortable bed, homely atmosphere, and the spa garden, despite some concerns over maintenance and clarity on additional facilities. It's a recommended spot for a relaxing seaside getaway.
The property is generally described as clean and lovely. However, a few guests mentioned issues such as musky-smelling towels and cobwebs, which suggests room for improvement in thoroughness.
The location is highly praised for being close to the bay, shops, restaurants, and the train station, making it convenient for guests to enjoy local attractions and explore nearby towns.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, particularly noting the cosy space and super comfy bed. The sofa bed is also appreciated for extra comfort.
The property is well-equipped with cooking equipment and other essentials. However, there are remarks about the lack of clothing storage, rusty outdoor seating, and confusion regarding the booking and extra cost of the hot tub.
While guests have mentioned thoughtful touches like a dog bed and accessories, there is no consistent mention of gifts or special attention to guest needs that would warrant a score in this category.

The host Dani was very responsive at any time that I needed her, the place was small but perfect as it had everything we needed for a weekend away, had to book in to use the hot tub + pay extra, I didnt realise this until I got there however it probably said that in the description so thats my fault, other than this couldnt fault the place it was extremely relaxing and the bed was super comfy too which is always a positive. Really enjoyed our stay here.
