"We stayed here for just one night whilst we were visiting friends in Herne Bay and we will stay again! It was so convenient, there was parking around the back, and the hosts were lovely. We stayed in Room 3 which was massive! It had a little lounge area, a lovely bathroom and the bedroom area was big as well with plenty of room to get ready. There was also a fan in the room which was appreciated! Breakfast was lovely and the choice was really good. We can’t recommend this place enough. "

"My friends & I enjoyed our stay at the flat. We found the beds comfortable & the location ideal re: its proximity to the beach, restaurants & shops.
We appreciated having a washing machine to use and good cooking facilities too. We also found the flat comfortable.
Unfortunately, the plumbing in the shower & toilet were faulty &, as a result, proved quite time-consuming & frustrating to deal with. :-( The water didn’t drain during showers, & the difficulty re: flushing the toilet properly proved to be both frustrating & a real embarrassment at times. Although we were definitely warned about this in advance & informed that we’d have to use the “macerator” to solve the problem, it didn’t always work. I would have appreciated it if this particular issue had been completely resolved prior to our 5 day stay, in fairness. Otherwise, it was a lovely flat! "
