The cottage is in an ideal location for visiting the many local attractions which include coastal towns such as Rye, Hastings; National Trust properties; sandy beaches and Dungeness if you fancy something a little different.The property itself is characterful with a lovely spacious but self contained rear garden - great for keeping children safe. Plenty of toys for toddlers to play with. We ate out of doors the whole week so the garden furniture was a great asset.Broadband worked fine and the Smart TV in the living room had many of the usual channels available.We had a great week!

Kingshoath Cottage is the place where you immediately at home, once you stepped in the door. The house and garden are large enough to be with a group and still have privacy. We had a great time and highly recommend this cottage that felt as home away from home.
