Fantastic property.Location Location Location. There were 11 of us in our party.Monica is a great host and easy to contact if we needed her.The garage was a bonus as we were able to store pump up boats paddleboards and inflatable toys and all our beach bags for the week.We look forward to coming here again.
We are three families that get together every year and this property was perfect. The place was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and being right on the beach was such a bonus. Thank you for a great stay.
We had a lovely weekend with 5 x Mum’s and their 12 year old boys. Location on the beach is amazing.
A well catered kitchen, lots to do in the local area
Brilliant location for mixed aged family group, kids and parents loved the beach.Plenty of rooms and space for the kids to play and older family member to find quiet space.
As expected as we have holidays here several times before. Hope the next guests enjoyed finding the decorated stones and shells we hid on the beach and dunes.
Overall a good stay, having the beach close to the house (even in the winter) was a plus.
Some of the broken toys need to be moved otherwise the garden was good for 6 plus children.
We are a family of 13 and get together once a year for a holiday at different locations . This year we went to Greatstone on see and had a wonderful time the property was ideal
Party of 11 hired the house for the weekend. Location was great, right on the beach. House was as described, everything you needed was here. Enough room for us all. Monika was readily available for any questions we had. Check in was smooth. Local restaurants were good, we did book in advance. Would definitely stay here again. easy
If you want a stay with the kids where the beach is literally a few steps from the back gate then you'll be in luck! We had a fab time outside most of the day with the kids playing in between the garden with the trampoline and sandpit and then on the beach with it's gorgeous sand - my top tip is take a kite, we had lots of fun flying them! The house itself is clean, catered for what we wanted - a big table for eating and a bed each! The kids loved sharing the room with the bunk beds, there's also lots of toys in one of the rooms that my son loved playing with (he's 3). We brought a ready cooked meal with us the first night and heated it up and the second night we had fish and chips from down the road which was really nice. There's also a couple of convenience shops nearby if you forget anything. Thanks for hosting us Monika, we had a lovely weekend getaway!
Just returned from a wonderful get together with family for the weekend.
We stayed as 4 generations and the house was well equipped with your daily items - crockery, kitchen equipment, towels etc aplenty. Large fridge and chest freezer. Gas and coal BBQ to use, spotlessly clean and large. Cater well for families with children, they had stair gates at top and bottom, highchairs and travel cot to use.
A selection of games, books etc for guests to use. Plenty of children's toys, books and games as well as lots of garden toys. A few garden toys could do with fixing/updating but there's ample for them to play with regardless! Huge trampoline, climbing, slide equipment and toys for the sand.
The garden is huge, my only negative would be the steps are slightly dodgy for young children/elderly, and the grassy/play area is set up at the top of the steps with no real barrier stopping the drop from grass to concrete area. Fine for 4+ years but smaller ones you'd need to keep a close eye!
The location for the most amazing beach could not be better. Literally a few steps out the back gate and you're on the sandy beach. It was also so quiet on the beach and dog friendly. Perfect for kite flying!
Rooms were spotless and had everything we needed. there is only 2 toilets/bathrooms and one toilet is very small and one bathroom has a bath/handheld shower and the other a shower cubicle but we made do!
Host was great and communicated quickly and helpfully. Look forward to returning!
Extremely positive review. Just as description. It has all and more. Plenty of room. Family safety has even been considered by blunting the ends of the cooking knives. All the white goods all seem new. The house was fully equipped, and clean. Quite an achievement as it is directly onto a sandy beach. The trampoline, climbing frame and slide were extremely popular with the children. The garden was secure, although a smaller dog might be able to escape under the gate to the beach. We blocked it off.
The house was a home. Spare linen (including T towels), crockery, cutlery. There was even a brand-new gas barbeque but didn't have time to use it.
The conservatory dining room has tables that make one large or separate into two. Excellent idea.
Books for all, but the board games need replacing. (Maybe a visit to a boot fair is required)
Only a couple of grumbles: The outside tap did not work. The house needs one, along with a hose, so we can wash off sand, mud, and fill a paddling pool.
The other is that two of the double mattresses need replacing as have no substance, and are uncomfortable for adults (maybe ok for children weighing less than adults)
The shower room is a little cramped, but it has a good electric shower.
The main downstairs double bedroom was a real bonus.
Overall, this was an excellent holiday, enjoyed by all members of the family. Set in an ideal location. Loved the sound of the steam train. Communication with the owner was great. Will defo consider returning.
Nice property just 50 yards from a lovely sandy beach and 100 yards from The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Very child friendly with many outdoor toys provided and a large trampoline. Perfect for fam in
This property is set up for beach life
Six best friends wanted a relaxed casual long weekend and that’s exactly what we got
We spent so much time sitting in the dunes which are literally just through the garden gate
Beds were clean and comfy
Good lounge area
Kitchen a little quirky but it met our needs
We made good use of the patio and bar b que
If you want 5* luxury this isn’t the property for you
If you want relaxed right on the beach then go for it
Ideal for families - though toys are looking a little tired and for younger children- but they were well used and loved , particularly the tractor and trampoline...
The accommodation was largely clean but oven and in particular the extractor in the kitchen need deep clean.
All mod cons available and plenty of cutlery and crockery ...
Outside hose didn’t work - really needed after days in Sandy beach and garden to avoid transfer into house
Location location location ....
The location and house were ideal for our holiday with our family and dog. Toy House was perfect, clean, basic and well equipped. The kitchen, although quirky in its layout, has everything you need. Bedrooms were spacious and linen and towels were provided. Outdoors, there was lots to keep young children amused and the gate to the beach was the best feature! As it’s a dog friendly beach all year around it was lovely to take numerous walks along the long stretch of sandy beach. We will definitely book another holiday there again!
Adequate accommodation, not really disabled friendly, quite spartan.
A clean and comfortable house, comfortable beds, but very spartan, i.e. lack of any character or charm. Very close to beach, dog loved it. It needs more to make it more homely, like a mirror near the window in the main bedroom, a hairdryer would have been good. The TV in the second bedroom didn't work and the Wifi was non-existent. No instructions about the house or a password for the Wifi if it had been working, but we managed to enjoy our stay.
So lovely to get away and wake up in the morning to the sound of the sea. You simply walk across the garden and you are on the beach. We loved our stay and Monica was very helpful.
Quick And helpful responses to enquiries.
Helpful leaflet on local area and leaving day instructions.
Kids and dog all enjoyed garden and could not get enough of the beach.
Just a few small things could have made a lot of difference.
Instructions on how to use hob and white goods would save time.
Two bedrooms could benefit from a chest of drawers or wardrobe.
An outdoor tap at the back of the house would save a lot of sand being walked through the house.
That said we had a holiday which gave us so many memories. We had five children who didn’t want to go home.😀
We had a lovely time staying at Toy House, it is perfect for children. The garden has so much to entertain them and the beach just feels like an extension of the garden. Will definitely be back.
