Lovely place to stay. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped with amenities. This was a key box venue, (so no reception or check-in) so I never actually met the hosts or staff, so can't really comment on the service. However everything seemed well maintained and all information provided in the room. The only downside is the noise factor from other guests, which is not really the hosts fault. My room (The Becket) was downstairs right next to the front door of the property, which meant every time a quest arrived and punched in the code to their key box to get their keys, it felt like someone was knocking on my wall. When the guests entered, the front door slammed shut and this shook the wall and windows in my room. This can happen at any time during the night, so not great if you are a light sleeper, which I am not and it still woke me up. It is street parking and the location is lovely, just a short walk to the seafront with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants nearby. I would recommend this place, just try and avoid the downstairs rooms if noise bothers you.

Excellent place and easy to find conveniently situated very close to the coast and easy access to Ramsgate. Great correspondence from owner with easy to follow instructions for access to lodge. Definitely recommended. Only criticism really was parking although it stated on the booking: Free offsite parking Free self parking on site Limited on-site self parking Difficult to ascertain actually where this was? You can work it out, but would be helpful if a little more detail was explained in the advertisement, as i personally make bookings based on parking arrangements, albeit not everyone does. Or at least corresponded from owner to client during the access dialogue in the future?

Easy to find, clear instructions regarding keys, etc.. Not a huge amount of things nearby, apart from the nice beach. Perhaps a bit expensive for what it is, but in the summer the easier access to the beach must be a plus.
