Guests say
Rose Cottage is frequently praised for its excellent location in Hythe, ideal for couples with dogs, offering easy access to local amenities and attractions. Guests appreciate the charm and cosiness of the cottage, along with the thoughtful touches provided by the host. While some find the property to be a perfect retreat, others note the need for updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Most guests find Rose Cottage to be clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few reviews mention concerns with cleanliness, such as stained bed sheets and a dirty mattress, which slightly lowers the overall score.
The location is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the proximity to Hythe High Street, the seafront, and local walks. The convenience of nearby shops, restaurants, and attractions adds to the appeal, making the location almost perfect.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, especially praising the log burner and portable heaters. However, some guests express concerns about the steep, narrow stairs and lack of central heating, which could affect comfort for those with mobility issues or during colder periods.
While the cottage's charm is noted, several reviews suggest that the facilities require updating, including the addition of a shower and new kitchenware. The presence of bare electrical wires and the absence of central heating are also mentioned as areas for improvement.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome gifts such as wine and biscuits. It is important to note that while these gestures are well-received, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely cosy Cottage.The only issue was that we were on holiday during a really cold spell.The kitchen was very cold all the time and had no heating. The kitchen door should be replaced as I beleve that would solve the problem.
