What our guests say...

Brilliant house close to all local amenities and 2 minute walk to the beach. The property was clean and tidy, plenty of space and had everything you could possibly require. The host made sure our stay was perfect. Highly recommend if you are looking for a great stay in hythe!

Excellent holiday let .well equipped Convenient for the beach and numerous walks Grandchildren have stayed with us

First week we were allowed out of lockdown and the sun shone! Welcoming house with a sweet sun trap garden and minutes from the beach. Loved Hythe with good food and beautiful houses, canal, and little high street. Dymchurch beach is stunning, miles of sand.

The location of Heron Cottage is ideal being located just a few minutes walk in one direction to the beach and promenade and the town centre in the other. Although the cottage doesn’t have it’s own parking space, there’s free unrestricted parking outside in the road. When we arrived at the cottage, my partner went inside whilst I parked the car, came out and said “Fabulous!” It was a description that I absolutely agreed with after looking around myself. The whole of the cottage exudes charm and taste, and it’s definitely one of the very best in which we have stayed in more than twenty years of holidaying in self-catering properties. The front door opens into a small entrance hall with two doors leading of it and also the stairs up to the first floor. One door opens into the lounge, which is at the front of the property and has a very comfortable leather sofa with two wing chairs, a good-sized TV, and a coffee table with smaller tables. There’s a Youview box connected to the TV and through it catch up TV programmes can be watched. The second door in the hall opens into the dining room which has a table for four plus two armchairs. Leading off the dining room is the attractive sun lounge, which has two Lloyds Loom chairs and at the end of the sun lounge are doors leading to the rear garden which has a decked area with a table and chairs and also a garden seat on the patio. The well fitted kitchen which has everything you should need opens off the sun lounge and next to it is the utility room which in addition to a washer and a sink also has a toilet Upstairs is a spacious bedroom at the front of the cottage with a king size double bed and ample storage space for clothes. Something we especially liked about this room was the bedside lights each of which built-in power and USB sockets. There’s a second, twin bedroom at the rear. Both bedrooms have blackout blinds and ceiling fans. The bathroom is extremely spacious and in addition to a bath has a separate, large walk-in shower. An attractive and unusual feature of the floor is that it incorporates an area of underfloor lighting. The town centre is close by. Turn left outside the cottage, go to the end of the road, then go right at the canal (a very attractive waterway with seats on both sides) and when you come to a bridge cross it, then cross the road (there’s a pedestrian crossing), turn left and you see a sign indicating the High Street. Virtually all the shops are on the high street which is quite long, one-way, and relatively quiet because most traffic is on the parallel main road. There are quite a number of independent shops, a branch of Iceland, and pubs, cafes, and restaurants. If, like me, you are interested in antiques a visit to the Malt House Centre is well worth while. It’s a two storey building on the corner of the high street and Malt House Hill, (turn left on the high street and it’s on the opposite side of the road). There are a number of small units selling antiques and collectables along with a small artisan café. For some reason, the centre is only open on Friday’s and Saturday’s. I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending a stay in Heron Cottage. It’s extremely clean and well appointed. We had a very enjoyable week’s stay here and if it’s available for a stay when we would like to come next year I will certainly book again.

Near the seafront and Town. Beautifully modernised. Has everything. Talk Talk TV was problematic and did not work too well. Internet was fine. Loved it anyway.
