What our customers say about their holidays
Andrew - Verified booking
There is much to be liked in Coastguards View.
Itâs location right next to the sea between Whitstable and Herne Bay, a Sainsburyâs within walking distance, it offers good parking, comfortable sofas, a modern kitchen, 2 toilets with an en-suite apparently on the way, comfortable beds and good linen, reliable internet, a smart TV and a washing machine with room enough for seven people. As we were there at the beginning of December we didnât use the outside area but imagine it would be delightful in summer. We had many trips out ( Canterbury, Margate, Whitstable, Herne Bay and even managed a day in London). Slightly negative were the facts that the downstairs toilet was a bit too small and cramped. Grandad had problems. The weather was cold when we were there and the dining area and lounge remained cool as the radiators battled with the cool air rising up through the floor boards and the poor seals on the main doors. The boiler thermostat was set to 15 degrees when we arrived which was too chilly so we changed it to 21 degrees. We did not want to use the open fire. Again this would not be a concern in summer or spring or even a mild autumn. Lastly we thought the arrival time of 17.00 is too late and a bit mean. A previous guest has commented on this too. This was not a problem for us as we were coming from North Wales but Grandad living two hours away who arrived earlier than expected found himself waiting. By this time it was cold and dark. Other properties we have been to, allow guests to arrive at 16.00 or sometimes even 15.00. All in all, however we had a happy stay and can recommend the house and Chestfield Barn restaurant in Whitstable where we all had a lovely family meal. We wish the owners all the best.

The house itself is wonderful.
Lots of space, great open plan kitchen dining living area. Rooms are all spacious and comfy, hot tub and garden are lovely. Local area is quiet but nice pubs and walks are a very short drive away. Hot water situation is quite tricky, especially with a house of 10 adults. Waiting 30 mins between everyoneâs shower is unreasonable and a lot of us had freezing cold showers only despite all showers being quick and no baths. The house is missing a few essential bits, we had no washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets or normal tea bags. Lack of bins for recycling inside the house. No handsoap in the upstairs bathroom. The kitchen equipment is also a little limited for a house of this size. We had 10 people staying and struggled when cooking, lack of pots / pans, bowls etc. The aga is also tricky, mainly as the dials have no numbers on them and they get burning hot when in use so itâs hard to select temps etc. Sykes as a booking agency are extremely difficult. Website is inaccurate and unhelpful, causing a major issue with my booking that I then had to pay extra for. Their phone options are unhelpful and they point blank donât respond to emails - I was told this on the phone. To the point where I had emailed repeatedly asking to speak to someone about my booking, had no response, and then had my entire booking cancelled.

The cottage is lovely and in a stunning location.
The beach is lovely and we walked on the beach every day. The tumble dryer not working was an inconvenience as with 7 of us I would have liked to wash and dry the limited towels provided midweek. There are two ovens in the kitchen but only one worked, again for a large family two would have been more convenient but not a huge problem. What did almost make us come home early was next doors dogs barking excessively every time they went out and left them out at the back. This was around 8-8.30 every week day (woke everyone up every day) all day long Mon and throughout our stay for 2-3 hours at a time. It was a warm week and even with all doors and windows shut they were very loud as it is a terraced property with small back yards. We did send the owners a message on Tues to ask if this was likely to continue all week or was a one off as were considering going home early but didn't get a response. We were away for a family wedding and visiting family so we did stay and try and ignore the barking. We took two dogs with us, we are dog lovers and this was not the odd bark! Other than that the cottage is well furnished, as described and a very nice property with a fantastic outdoor area to enjoy the sunshine with a fantastic sea view. Next doors dogs are clearly not the owners fault but did affect our stay.

A lovely house in a beautiful setting looking at the sea.
We had a good time staying at the cottage. Inspite of the fact that it was less than we had come to expect from a cottage from Sykes. The cleanliness was not what we have come to expect of properties we have stayed in with Sykes Cottages. We felt the view was by far it's best asset. I realise it's heading towards the end of the season & it certainly needs a repaint all through. If they want to sell it as it's got a for sale sign outside. We felt it was looking a little tired & in need of some TLC. The Kitchen looked lovely but the didnt have everthing you might require we felt is was was very basic. Going back to the cleanliness - our daughter joined us for a few days. When I went to strip the bed off on the departure day the mattress cover had stains on it & they were certainly not from us. They looked as if they had been there from previous occupants & the cover had not been washed. There were smears on the bathroom mirrors & shower cubicles. We found bits of food on the floor too. We just felt the cleaning was standard was disappointing. We were quite disappointed & would not recommend a stay there. I felt the property was done in a manner to make money but as cheaply as possible. I would not recommend this property nor would I go back again.

I really don't think the photos or the reviews do this property justice.
It's wonderful, cozy, clean and warm.. Firstly there are amazing sea views from the conservatory and the upstairs bedrooms. Secondly the property was warm, clean and had all we needed to cook large breakfasts and a full roast dinner. The location was lovely and unlike the centre of Whitstable we felt secluded and private a real bonus for us. The owners sent a message to us on the arrival day to make sure we had a contact, they responded quickly when we needed them. Unlike many properties there was no need to buy additional wood bundles there was plenty of wood for us to use and we had a lovely fire for most of our stay. With 3 toilets,a big family bathroom, 2 shower rooms, getting 6 of us up and ready every day was really easy with no arguing for space. In the day everyone had space to chill out, watch TV, play games, cook a meal. The house is well thought out for comfortable living and having a bigger group. We came in march had mixed weather and a wonderful stay, this house will be bliss in the summer as your walk to the sea which is basically at the end of the garden. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We did contemplate not reviewing Coastguard's view so we could come back again and again....
