"We returned to Hope Cottage yet again and had a wonderful stay."
Property was spotlessly clean and welcoming. We had the joy of potting up the winter hanging baskets and planters in the small courtyard garden to the rear. A really fun activity. Looking forward to our next stay already.

"Arrived late due to traffic and found no milk, it would have been appreciated to find at least one pint, the information pack is not a welcome pack."
Bedside lamps in back bedroom didn't work neither did the light above the sink. Only one hand towel for 3 people for the whole week. Weeds and dead flowers in the back yard, looked very untidy. A shame as a great location.
Hi Craig. Sorry you wanted milk and didn’t find it. Had you let me know I would have been happy to organise it for you. There’s a Waitrose,Sainsbury’s and corner shop within 5 min walk. Also sorry to hear that my cleaner didn’t leave the correct number of towels. Again, if you’d let me know I could have told you where they were stored and you could have got some more. Thanks for the heads up re the bulbs - they are being replaced and sorry things weren’t 100%. I rely on a cleaning company who sadly don’t always get it right. Apologies.

"I would not stay at this cottage again as it is too small for 4 adults."
The fact that the weather was good meant that we could sit in the garden and use the studio at the bottom of the garden. There was not sufficient storage for clothes and there were a lack of kitchen utensils for cooking. There was no salt and pepper dispensers and no cleaning materials. So had to purchase these. The water was not draining away in the shower, on inspecting the shower waste was disgusting (full of hair, soap and scum), there was a lot of dust under the lounge chairs, around the feet of the chairs and ,on the bottom of the lamp. I left the property a lot cleaner than when we arrived. (Although I just wiped the bathroom down because it needed a deep clean). The positives were the bedrooms had televisions, the bed in the back bedroom was comfortable and the property was close to the main shops and the canal.
I‘m truly mortified that there was a problem with the cleanliness of the house. The issue has been traced back to one member of staff. Action has been taken to prevent this from happening again. Please report cleanliness issues to me or Sykes straight away so that the situation can be rectified for you as I would have done my best to address the issues had i known before you left. I’m so sorry this affected your stay.
As for the size of the cottage, yes, it’s cosy but there are two lounges and both bedrooms have double beds or bigger. It’s so conveniently located it’s really just a base to explore what the local area has to offer. Best wishes.

"This is a delightful cottage."
It has all the amenities of a home from home. It is perfectly situated for shops, dining out, canal and seafront walks.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. The location is superb! When I stay I love that I can be on the promenade within ten minutes. Hope to welcome you back one day. Kind regards, Sarah

"We had an absolutely lovely time at Hope Cottage."
This is our second time of staying there, and we will book again as soon as we can. We love Hythe and the cottage is ideally central to everything we like to do. This time we brought our grand children and they love it there; the stable being their own space to watch T.V. and play games.

"It's a lovely cottage and the owner has made the decor very homely."
However, we found some aspects very impractical. Having no TV on the ground floor of the main house just didn't work for us. Our stay was immediately after the Queen's death and It meant that we couldn't come back and catch up on the day's news while cooking and eating our evening meal. We had to wait till after we'd eaten and go out in the dark, chilly (and sometimes rainy) night, crossing a stony uneven courtyard to watch TV in the games room. Bizarrely, there were TVs in each bedroom but it would have been cramped to watch TV there with no comfortable seating also a bit anti social. On the positive side the cottage was well located for local restaurants and shopping. Only 15 minutes walk from a very clean promenade and beach and easy to get to Kent's attractions further afield.

"What a wonderful place to stay everything needed was there and more only downside was it does say parking outside onm the listing this is probably old as it is now oermit holders only."
left a bottle pf prosecco to say thankyopu as had no pen for the guest book.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at my cottage. The parking is in the process of being rezoned into residents only & I will apply for a permit just as soon as the council update their website & allow me to! Hopefully, this should make parking even easier in the future.

"A lovely well situated cottage that is close to all necessary amenities."
Great welcome pack and beautiful decor. Parking is not an issue as there is both street and pay car park options. The only thing that let the stay down for us was the neighbour and the inability to have a lay in due to either her TV blaring at 6am or talking on her phone loudly in the back garden from about 6.30am. Not a problem if you are an early riser but was hoping for a couple of sleep ins to feel fully rested. Will definitely check out their other property as this one was quality.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the great location of the cottage and the welcoming touches.
I’m sorry that my neighbour interrupted your mornings . I have brought the issue to her attention and asked her to keep the noise down in the morning when she wakes up.

"There were a few plumbing issues which were dealt with and the owner was helpful."
It was strange to have 3 TVs and no TV in the living room (or music, no radio etc). There was an annex in the garden which we could use which had a TV but when it is raining this is not ideal. Also the info on the cottage said we could use the mezzanine in the annex, but information on site said do not use. Info on your website needs to be amended accordingly. Overall lovely cottage but if you have kids some form of entertainment in the main social area is needed.
Thank you for providing feedback. There is now a Sony speaker in the kitchen that you can connect your phone to & listen to music. I’m sorry you were disappointed by the lack of a TV in the kitchen/ lounge but I felt it was busy enough.

"Stylish cottage with well thought through use of space."
A true home from home experience. A main room for quiet relaxing and meals and a games / film room plus sunny garden. The owners were supportive and responsive in resolving a couple of teething issues (newly available for rental). Well located close to high street restaurants (Sunshine Turkish excellent) and pubs - Noiys noodles also excellent). Close to beautifully landscaped canal and beach. Waitrose 2 mins away with a Sainsbury and Aldi a short drive away. Hythe is a lovely base to relax in and to explore Kent.
