   "This is a grand old house in a splendid location and my review is made more in sadness than in anger. What might have once been described as rustic chic, certainly as far as the exterior is concerned, has sadly been allowed to decline through a lack of maintenence. Much of the timberwork at the rear (sea side) is peeling and the decking is in real need of a good jet-wash, repair and maintenence; the bottom step onto the deck is loose and is a hazard. When we were there, the gardens were overgrown and unkempt and planters sad, weedy and dead. I do realise that this is fairly early in the season but even so...On arrival at 3.10pm, we were ticked off by the cleaning lady (who is in fact a very pleasant and helpful person) because she said we were early -our details said 3.00pm and she said it should be 4.00pm. We hung around until 3.30 before unloading the cars.The interior decor of the rooms was good and the beds comfortable. The kitchen area was good and very big, the wooden cupboards being 19th century are in need of a good rub-down and wax polish. There is a broken floor tile by the sink which lifts in one corner when you stand on it and anyone with unprotected feet walking by at that point would receive a considerable injury from the shards. Our daughter was not able to operate the spa-bath in the on-suite bathroom. One of the shower wastes was partially blocked allowing water to flow onto the floor, which soaked my wife's wedding clothes, dripped through to the ceiling below and onto confetti which was on the kitchen table. All in all, not a happy experience. I did speak to the owner who was very sympathetic to our plight but disappointed that we had to ask for a gesture of recompence from Bookings.com. I feel something should have been proffered.I do hope that the proper resources are put into this property; we would love to have it. If it was brought up to scratch (we operate our own self-catering apartments in Devon) then this could be an absolute gem."

   "S13621 is in a superb location - perfectly placed for the lighthouse, the beach, pubs, and of course the miniature railway which encircles the plot (much to our 6-year old's delight!). We enjoyed locally caught fresh fish from the small shop which is a 10 minute walk away. The house is also a short drive from sweet villages and only a 20 minute drive from Camber Sands beach where we spent a gorgeous sunny day (try to go during high tide though or it's a long way from the dry sand to the sea!).The interior of the house is a fun combination of nautical-kitsch, 90s interior design and some mid-century posters thrown in. It was very clean and functional, especially the huge bath with unlimited hot water! The only negative point, which sadly soured our trip, was that on our way back the owner's mother (who manages the property) called us and accused us of stealing! She said that one of the brass mock-portals that hangs on the wall was there when we arrived but has since gone missing. She insisted that only a screwdriver would have got it off the wall, that we must have taken it, and that we should turn around and come back. I don't know if she intended to go through our baggage or what! We were really upset and shocked at being accused of something so serious that we knew we did not do, and agreed to go drive the 20 minutes back in order to clear our names. A few minutes later we were called and told that her husband had found it behind the radiator and it must have fallen off the wall. Whilst relieved, we felt that there wasn't really enough of an apology given and of course we shouldn't have been accused of this in the first place!That aside though, S13621 is a lovely, quirky, spot for a summer holiday and I would recommend.

   "A really lovely cottage, generously equipped and nicely furnished. It easily accommodated our group of 9 (aged 61 to 12 years old) and we had a great week. Beds surpassed our expectations, really comfortable with good linen and soft duvets. Kitchen was spacious with excellent white goods and well equipped. Fabulous dining room and spacious lounge. Kids liked the cellar games room. Nice modern showers and plenty of toilets for large groups. My only gripe was the sofas in the living room have seen better days (cushions are quite hard) and the benches on the main terrace are giving up the ghost. No problem, we took chairs out, but the rickety nature was a bit troubling. Note - there is virtually no mobile phone signal, but wifi was good and the owner has provided a land line.At the beginning of the week the views (outside terraces on 3 levels, fantastic views from 4 bedrooms) were great - sea, boats, white cliffs and France - but haze and then thick fog removed the view for the last 3 days! It was still atmospheric though, and we could hear the fog horns as the boats approached Dover Harbour.Hard work to walk to a pub, we didn't. However a short drive down to the beach and the Coastguard did excellent food, and the village store had all the basics (need to drive there really). Loads to do in the vicinity and some excellent walks across the cliffs. A bit alarming in thick fog though! Yes there are lot of steps, but we all managed fine and had a fabulous week. S13615 has a lovely friendly feel, and we may return."

   "A stunningly decorated and beautifully clean little home, perfect for a couple. We chose this property partly because of the 'vibe' it gave off - and we weren't disappointed: world photography and artefacts from Jason's travels adorn the house and bring the flavours of South East Asia / South America right into Kent! The kitchen is very high spec and it was a pleasure to make meals in there. Both bedrooms are beautifully calm and I went straight home to de-clutter my own as a result!The location is very quiet and one could easily sleep in for hours with the good blackout curtains - much-needed for world-weary Londoners...The garden is also very pretty and provides nice nooks and crannies to sit out with a book and glass of wine, although it was a little too cold for that in our case.Jason could not have been more helpful as a host, meeting us on arrival, showing us how various things worked and giving us ideas of local places to eat and visit. We ended up having a great pub lunch at The Lion in the very pretty village of Farningham, and visiting Hever Castle. If we were to return, we'd combine with a visit to Royal Tunbridge Wells. There is no DVD player (that we could see) so do bring a laptop if you're looking to stay in and watch movies. Thanks a million, Jason!"

   "“S13615” is a magnificent house in an ideal location on the White Cliffs with superb views of the Channel, which we had also rented in 2016. Its spacious rooms accommodated our 11 strong family group very comfortably and we had an excellent holiday, helped by glorious sunny weather almost the whole week. But we were disappointed by the outdoor space, which could be a very attractive feature. There were no chairs for sitting outside and, even if there had been, it would not have been a pleasant experience, as the garden had been left to run wild and had deteriorated even from last year. There are spacious sunny verandas with lovely views of the sea, but we were unable to make use of them as there were no comfortable outdoor chairs and no umbrellas to provide shade. The interior of the house was a bit shabby in some places and there were a number of annoying minor irritations, including no bulb in a bedside light; a shower with a partially blocked outlet, which leaked through the kitchen ceiling on one occasion; unlabelled keys; and no washing line. Despite these drawbacks we would probably go again because of the size and location of the house, but if they could be rectified it would provide an even better experience."
