For a getaway to Kent like no other choose 6 Bay Side.

There are five Cinque Ports that were established by Edward the Confessor to protect the English shoreline against invaders, and in exchange, the towns would retain all legal costs awarded to court proceedings. These towns were of course more prosperous than most towns of the same size, and visitors may still witness the effects of this when they visit Hythe. One of the main attractions in town is The Royal Military Canal that runs through the middle of it. In the Napoleonic era, this was dug as a defence against French invasion.

    The outside bins were overflowing & with bags on top (this had already been mentioned in a previous review & still happening), no information manual, no departure instructions, not enough spoons, only 1 set of mugs & no cups, only 3 glass tumblers for an apartment which sleeps 6 (the rest were all plastic) one duvet cover was torn, 2 toilet brushes between 3 toilets, no curtains or a blind at the kitchen window (which is overlooked), the lounge blind's cord had broken & they had to be manipulated by hand every time they were drawn,the same with one of the bedroom's blinds, no curtains at all to another bedroom, no curtains on the landing windows (which are overlooked), the furniture on the upstairs balcony was filthy & rusty & needs replacing (again already mentioned in a previous review), and when first arriving at the property the battery on the outside key safe was dead so it couldn't be accessed, and when it was there was no key inside!!

    We found the house clean, there were some condiments and Tassimo pods which were appreciated. No key in the key safe on arrival. This was very quickly rectified and when brought the new key we were advised a toilet seat had been removed as it was broken, a new one had been ordered and would change it that day or the next. This never appeared during our whole week ! No covers on garden furniture just foam cushions and the top floor chairs were so rusty they should just be thrown away nobody could possibly sit on them. A welcome book with bin days would be handy as they were overflowing when we arrived, maybe from a previous guest. Agree with a previous review that a frying pan would be better than a pancake pan and also a spatula would be useful. Overall we really did enjoy our stay.

    Toilet seats falling off and didn’t get fixed either.
