  • "We had a fantastic week at Bay Tor; it is a wonderful, well-equipped property with great coastal views."

    It is ideally situated to explore the Kent Coast and our week was filled with castles, cathedrals and the spectacular coastal path. The property had everything we could have wished for; thank you Mary for the little extras you left for us, they were much appreciated.

  • "We had a lovely holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bay Tor."

    The flat has a good layout, it was clean and had great views. It was well equipped with everything you needed. We used St Margaret's at Cliffe as a base to explore Folkestone, Dover, Deal, Canterbury and Ramsgate. The weather was great for most of the week, which made all the difference and was a huge bonus. There was a very nice welcome pack from Mary, which was a lovely touch and much appreciated.

  • "We had a very enjoyable holiday at Bay Tor."

    The apartment was very well equipped, with everything you could possibly need. Mary was very friendly and welcoming, and provided us with some ‘extras’ which were very much appreciated. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future. It was a shame the weather wasn’t better, but nevertheless we made the best of it. Sandra Brook

  • "Wonderful facilities."

    Wonderful friendly host. Super welcome. Special gifts. I cannot speak highly enough about this property. Fully geared up for self-catering. A haven of peace and tranquility. You are in for a real treat. There is no better place to stay in this part of Kent with views you will not find anywhere else in the UK. This place will sell out quickly for the school holidays, so, well..... book quickly with a personal recommendation from me, Warm wishes, Professor Harding.

  • "Lovely flat with views across the Channel."

    Mary, the host, left us several unexpected extras which was very kind. Wi-fi very intermittent, this is the reason I have only given 4*. Lots of great walks in the area, and castles nearby. Loads of history in the area. A great base for a break.

    The wine and water were double her standard gift offering I believe given I was staying for two weeks rather than one like many of her prior guests. Most generous and kind.

  • "We received a very warm welcome from Mrs Mary Gyte, with several extras waiting for us in the flat like milk, butter and biscuits which was a very kind touch."

    The flat was beautifully presented and the appliances all worked very well. The view over the channel was great, and it was good to be able to go walking over the White Cliffs from the flat without the need to use the car. Also the local bus service was very good which we used on other days to visit Dover, Sandwich and Deal. A most interesting area to explore. Andrew & Barbara King.

This is the point from which swimmers of the English Channel depart. Dover sits just four miles away with it's famous castle, attractive seafront, pier and marina and much more to see and do. The Kent Downs AONB is within a stone's throw for avid walkers and cyclists, while many more characterful coastal spots can be found close by; Folkestone, Ramsgate and Margate to name but a few. The unique and striking cathedral city of Canterbury is also within reach for a different experience.
