The comforts of home but with the feeling of luxury a high quality hotel would give you. Second stay but definitely not the last!
Sheila
The apartment was spectacular. The bedrooms suited us perfectly as there was a double bed rather than singles in the 2nd bedroom. This 2nd bedroom is not spacious but as we don't share a bedroom, it mean't that we both had a big bed! As we stayed for 2 weeks, an addition might have been a small freezer (although to be honest, I think most guests eat out more than us!). It did mean we had to plan meals/ shopping aware of the space in the refridgerator. We shall return, too good not to come again!
Bev
The little garden was a gorgeous space to sit it, peaceful and tranquil apart from birds song. We loved it here and would absolutely love to return one day. The coast from Broadstairs to Ramsgate is our favourite and we did plenty of walking, ever grateful to the good weather we were fortunate to have.
