Everything was ok but the wonderful coffee machine and tea making facilities were useless because there was no cups! Also because the accommodation has no reception there was nobody around to help us. So three stars only .

Very nice room. All clean. Excellent instructions. Good communication. I phoned Ade to ask if the bathroom towel rail could be turned off as it was boiling hot and so was the room. He was very helpful and did get it turned off later on. The room was still very very hot for sleeping - but that's this heatwave and a problem everywhere. Thank goodness for the serious sized fan.

We chose this place as my son and I were visiting family in Margate and Whitstable. We would normally stay in those areas, but decided to try somewhere different, and we're glad we did as the location was lovely, peaceful and quiet. The room is above the pub, but we didn't hear any noise from downstairs, which was great. When we arrived, our room door was open and unfortunately wouldn't close properly. I contacted Lee-Ann, who responded quickly and communicated really well. As we had checked in quite late, it wasn't possible to fix the issue that evening, but she was very willing to help. The room itself was spotlessly clean and nicely presented, making it ideal for a short one-night stay. The only downside was how incredibly hot it was. I completely appreciate that we don't usually experience temperatures like this, but the room became unbearably warm. There was a fan provided, but it was so noisy that I ended up getting very little sleep. Overall, we had a pleasant stay .
