Things to Note
The bathroom is located on the ground floor, making it ideal for rinsing off after a day at the beach or relaxing in the garden. As a traditional 1850s fisherman's cottage, the stairs are steeper than those found in many modern homes, a charming feature that reflects the property's historic character and heritage.
You’ll find everything you need to settle in and start your break straight away — from basic toiletries to tea and coffee (including a few pods for the coffee machine), so you can enjoy a relaxing brew the moment you arrive.
If you’d like to stock up for your stay, you can arrange a grocery delivery from local supermarket Sainsbury’s, or pop to Waitrose which is just five minutes’ walk away.
Parking is free on the street directly outside the property and there is typically plenty. The nearest bus stop is at Red Lion Square in Hythe town centre, approximately a 10-minute walk (around 0.5 miles) from the cottage, with regular services to Folkestone, Ashford and the surrounding area. The nearest train stations are Sandling or two Folkestone stations, all of which are a short taxi ride.
