Great location - just a short walk to Hythe High Street with shops cafes pubs and restaurants. Parking is provided at the rear but you need to be a good driver and have a small car - it’s easier to park on the road. At the time of our visit we were unable to sit in the garden due to it being overgrown and the scaffolding from next door’s building work. We had a dog which wasn’t even allowed in the garden (it is also unfenced to the road) at the front. There is no shower, just a bath, which could be very difficult for many people. It was tricky washing long hair! The stairs are very narrow and steep especially when you’re trying to carry a case upstairs and there is inadequate storage for clothes. In our opinion the whole place needs some new furniture, a shower and a lot of tlc. It could be lovely. We still enjoyed our holiday but our overall experience could have been enhanced if the cottage facilities and decor were of a higher standard.
