Excellent stay, everything was clean, modern and very well equipped, comfortable beds. It was absolutely perfect for our 1 night stop over before ferry, just 35 mins to dover port. Outlet shopping just 8 mins by car and if you want to eat in, plenty of delivery options available, or just a couple of mins walk to the shop if you need to grab any shopping. Easy self check-in and out. Would be great for more nights too. Would highly recommend, we were 5 and plenty of space for all, it finally worked out much better than 2 hotel rooms. All contact with owners was very quick and easy, and very helpful. Free parking in the street in front, found a spot right in front, each time, no problem. BBQ in garden and outdoor seating, has everything you need, don't hesitate!

Very rarely do I give such a glowing review of a property but this one I must say is one of the best apartment I've stayed in. Fantastic little one roomed annex apartment, beautiful beach style decor, close to everything you could need for a holiday. The beach is a very short walk/drive away (free parking all along the promenade). Loved it
