Guests say
Beachborough Park Summer House is praised for its spacious, clean accommodation and tranquil, picturesque setting. Guests enjoy the wildlife, local walks, and proximity to tourist sites. The friendly hosts and well-equipped cottage contribute to a restful stay, despite some minor maintenance issues and internet connectivity concerns.
Guests consistently mention the property as 'spotlessly clean' and 'well equipped', indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The location is described as lovely, peaceful, and convenient for exploring local attractions, with great walks and views, although one review mentioned the need to drive out for more energetic dog walking.
The property is generally found to be comfortable with a friendly greeting and comfortable beds, but there are comments about uncomfortable beds and a lack of secure space for dogs.
Facilities are appreciated, with the property being well-equipped. However, some guests noted a lack of a bread knife, dull knives, a door that doesn't stay open, and slow water supply in the bathroom.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the general hospitality, so it is not possible to score this category.

Should you be able to draw yourself away from Beachborough Park, there is so much to see and do within a short drive, from the charming town of Hythe with its pretty military canal, shingled beach and cobbled high street dotted with independent cafés, pubs, and shops, to the vibrant and creative town of Folkestone with sandy beach, bustling Harbour Arm with pop up restaurants and bars, and creative scene with individually owned shops and art galleries.

With views over the surrounding grounds and countryside, The Summer House sits proudly at the heart of the estate, built into the bricked wall of the walled garden beyond, with large south facing windows creating a wonderfully light filled space. With a warming wood burner, the open plan living, and dining room is ideal for meals together, unwinding over a bottle of red together or enjoying a competitive family game in front of the cosy fire. With two spacious bedrooms, offering a comfortable space to rest your head after a day exploring. Outside, the dining area allows you to eat al fresco and fully appreciate the peace, wildlife, and countryside air, open to the grounds of the estate should children want to freely explore. There is fishing available nearby (with day tickets available) and a pub within a mile.

Friendly greeting. Easy access. More spacious than appears in pictures. Spotlessly clean. Lovely location and easy access to nearby tourist sites. Enjoyable short stay.

Great location, rural and peaceful, yet only a short journey to Folkestone and Hythe.Great to watch the squirrels through the large picture windows, and the horses as they are walked passed the cottage morning and early evening.Perfect for our tiny dog, especially as she couldn't see the squirrels or horses go by, although I would imagine a larger more energetic dog would be at the window barking a lot!There's a gated paddock in the walled garden behind the cottage perfect for walking our dog. Owners of a less sociable dog need to keep in mind that it also doubles up as a camp site.There is walking in the surrounding countryside in the immediate vicinity. However, the land can be used for military exercises, and while we were there had cattle grazing.For more energetic dogs where the walled garden/paddock is not enough you may need to drive out for your dog walking. However, Lymington forest is only a short drive away.
