What our customers say about their holidays

  We were greeted by the owner Diane, pretty hard to find the cottage when it’s pitch black and the instructions weren’t clear.

  The parking isn’t very convenient as we were supposed to park a long way from the cottage in a wooded area, however the lovely neighbour let us park in her drive!!! I have to say, the neighbours are absolutely delightful, so helpful and kind with assisting us with a lost parcel and showing us where to go when we arrived. They must get tired of people coming and going but didn’t show it at all. They were just lovely. The WIFI is terrible. We struggled all week to get a signal and mainly used all of our 4G up. It could do with Broadband and not 4G connection given how much people rely on their laptops and phones. Both beds were pretty hard and uncomfortable and the second bedroom could use two single beds instead of one double. Our twins are 14 and they weren’t keen on sharing a double bed together! Can’t imagine adults or other children would like that either. The kitchen is fairly well equipped but you wouldn’t want to cook a roast dinner as there is a lack of utilities. The property has a lot of character and is an interesting design. It does look as though pieces from varying houses have been placed in the house as nothing matches - modern, boho, Victorian pictures, mandala canvas, old chairs, up cycled chairs - it didn’t flow well & honestly looked like leftovers from other properties. The sofa in the lounge area was extremely uncomfortable. However the electric fire was cosy. The Prosecco was a nice touch as well as the dressing gowns and slippers. Would I recommend the property? Probably not - but we wouldn’t go back to the area again anyway. The neighbours were the highlight though as they were just so accommodating and friendly.

  Nice property, just a 2 mile walk from Deal seafront.

  Makes a nice walk with the dogs. Plenty of room to walk the dogs in the woods for their morning and evening ablutions. Nice large property with 2 lovely bedrooms. Loads of room for 2 couples upstairs but living room area may be a little cozy with 4 people in there. Kitchen was well equipped, but one thing my wife commented on was the lack of a measuring jug, or ovenproof dishes in which to prepare casserole type meals. The only 2 negatives for us was, it was very bad weather with storm Arlene blowing a gale and we could not get the rooms to heat up further than what they were set for. Tried to just turn the dial up a few degrees on the boiler, but to no avail.. Nothing in the notes and we didn't want to start messing with any of the boiler settings. Also didn't want to annoy the owners every 5 minutes. The sofa in the living room was not great at all. I think it must be amongst the top 3 list of uncomfortable things I've ever sat on. I would defy anyone to sit still for more than 10 minutes without having to rearrange their buttocks. We only had a 3 night break, so none of these things spoiled our stay, but I think a week would have been a different matter.

  Wonderful and peaceful stay- this was one of our best staycations ever as a family.

  The kids really loved the nearby play area, garden, and the access to Netflix (which we don't have at home). We appreciated the little extras like the welcoming Prosecco and milk on arrival. Wonderfully spacious and light accommodation, and the dog really liked exploring the new area and kept a constant lookout for all the different wildlife. The owner helped us out by installing the WiFi Booster, it made working in the cottage wonderfully easy. We completely enjoyed our visit, and will return if we are in the area again! Thank you!

  We had a fabulous time at Woodlands by Sea Cottage.

  Dianne was most welcoming and we were very impressed by the little extras ie spare slippers and dressing gowns and a lovely chilled bottle of Cava. The area was full of things to explore from the Petticoat Lane Emporium in Ramsgate to the lovely wild and windy Dungeness. Sandwich Bay was beautiful and the town was very quaint. Deal itself was very interesting with the lovely little streets and tiny cottages. We will definitely return to explore some more. Regina Aoife and Niamh

  The cottage is well kept and is in a very quiet and peaceful area which is located near to both Deal and Sandwich.

  It is spacious and has all the amenities that you would expect and was also very accommodating for our dog. The gardens in which the cottage is set are also very well kept and provided a nice area in which to sit in the evening. All in all it proved to be a perfect location for us to visit places around this section of the Kent coast. The owner is very friendly and was on hand if we needed anything. We would therefore throughly recommend this cottage for their holiday or break
