    A very welcoming house. The children loved the games rooms and the indoor space worked very well. Great to be able to walk from the house to the sea for a swim everyday. Lots of things to do and see without travelling too far . Owners easy to contact and helpful

  • John H

    We had a very good stay, party at max number was 10,7 adults and children 11, 12 and 6. Bags of space and seating. Playrooms well used. Tip - if you do not want to play Monopoly every day make sure you hide the set in lounge before 6 year old sees it!Hot tub enjoyed by all.Also fished off beach below.Walkable to Deal and Walmer.Communications with Henry, owner were first class
