"This is an excellent property! The host was very communicative and helpful. The property was very clean with good information onsite about the flat and the surrounding area. Great location near to shops, restaurants and the beach. If you are driving, be aware that parking is a bit tricky, but Oliver was very helpful with figuring out options. Our only disappointment is that we weren't able to stay longer!"

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent little cabin, 5 minutes from the beach. Plenty of space for two with comfy chairs and kitchen area to prepare simple meals. Easy parking on the road at the front. Highly recommend walking the coastal path to Whitstable in one direction, Reculver then Margate in the other direction and fossil hunting right on the beach below the cabin at Beltinge. We also added a day at Elmley Nature Reserve so all in all a perfect winter break!"
