Anne
The downstairs is lovely, cosy and comfortable; though due to lack of worksurface the kitchen is not too great for proper cooking - Hythe has masses of good food options but for health reasons we can't use these. The upstairs is also rather well done. And the shower room practical. The whole place is set up for tall people and we struggled to reach cupboards, hanging rails etc. Overall the cottage is very nice and the views spectacular. The description of the cottage is clear about the steep steps to access the property and to the garden - they mean this! If you have mobility issues you will struggle. The garden is terraced with a gate to a public footpath. And though fully enclosed it is not secure as our dog demonstrated.I There is plenty of parking but also plenty of competition for it, this can be interesting for loading. We enjoyed lovely walks along the canal (bar the odour of cannabis), the local swimming pool is a well maintained snapshot of retro seaside and the local independent coffee shops (Mit Milch particularly) and "weigh and save" are great. Just watch out for the speeding mobility scooters on the high street.

Great location for a wander down to Hythe town, we also visited Dover Castle & Rye. Highly recommend this well located property, it certainly ticked all of our boxes. We will be back. Thank you for the biscuits & wine. Gaynor x
