Kathleen
Beds were very comfy. The kitchen had everything you needed. The property wasnât too far from the centre of town. The property was perfect.

The house had plenty of room, very comfortable and well equipped. Close enough to beach and town centre, both within a 10 minute walk and benefiting from being in a slightly quieter and less busy area. Train station close by too for day trips to Margate etc. The property owner was friendly and very proactive ahead of our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.
