"We really enjoyed our holiday at Hideaway."
The location was perfect for running, walking and exploring nearby nature reserves. The property itself was clean, comfortable and spacious for the four of us and the view across the fields to the rear was pleasant. The welcome pack was lovely.
-
"Excellent house with all the equipment for kitchen etc."
It was in a great location with easy access to surrounding attractions. On arrival we met Pete who was very welcoming and gave us advice on various things. Strongly recommend
-
"A beautifully presented house."
Exactly as described. Lots of space and well furnished. A lovely welcome pack - much appreciated. The owners really have thought of everything - except a teapot. Beautiful views from the back of the house - some stunning sunsets.
-
"Lovely house ideal for extended family."
Thank you

"This really is the perfect holiday home."
Beautifully equipped with great thought given to what would be needed for a family holiday. The location is perfect for exploring the Kent coast. On arrival the house was clean and tidy with a lovely welcome pack. The children loved the garden and watching the cows in the field at the back of the house. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this house to anyone.

"Fantastic property in a beautiful, peaceful location."
We were blessed with some great weather and the views over the fields from the living room and bedroom are amazing! The house was very well equipped and had so much space for us all (2 adults and 4 teenagers). The gas BBQ is a really nice touch too, enjoyed putting that to good use whilst the sun was out. There's lots to do and see in the area and all easy to get to. We loved the mini steam train and can definitely recommend a visit Port Lympne safari park.

"We had such a great holiday at The Hideaway Beach House."
It was very spacious, very clean and had plenty of room for our family group of 5 adults, a 3 year old and a baby. We loved looking out at the cows in the field behind the back fence, little foxes chasing each other there in the evenings and so much happy birdsong. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area. We especially enjoyed a steam train ride, Rye, Hythe, Folkestone and of course Ashford for shopping on the one rainy day! The only improvement we would suggest is to have blackout blinds on the velux skylight windows as the bright early morning light wakened the children very early each day. Thank you to the owners for this lovely holiday home and so many thoughtful touches such as extra crockery, cutlery and a lovely welcome basket.

"Excellent property - can't fault it."
The house was immaculately clean and well furnished, with tons of space in every room. Idea for family holiday. In our party we had a married couple (top floor double room with en suite), single adult (top floor double room with en suite), single adult (first floor double room - family bathroom) and two children (first floor twin room - family bathroom). So, plenty of space for us all to spread out. Location is a quiet close 5 minutes walk from the sea front - which was excellent. Owners provided plenty of games, books and DVDs, with a large TV in the living room. Welcome basket was a lovely touch, as well as the additional information the owners provided on the local area - places to eat, attractions, timetables etc. Overall, a fantastic property and place to stay. We would not hesitate to book The Hideaway Beach House again on our next visit to the area. Thank you so much to the owners for creating a wonderful place to spend our holiday.

"House was really large clean and comfortable with everything we needed and plenty of space."
Nice area outside with play equipment. Littlestone itself doesn't have much but it's close to everywhere we wanted to go. We had a good time!

"We received plenty of information about the property, accessing the key, leaving the property after our stay."
The property was in a great location with interesting views at the back of the property, we watched cows, heron, rabbits, foxes and birds of prey. On arrival the house was spotless. The kitchen was well equipped, even down to kitchen scale, measuring cups etc things I have had to take on previous holiday for grandchildren's cake making. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms to accommodate us all. Three generations of the family had a fantastic week. Just one point, would have liked a washing line/ tumble dryer to be able to dry washing.
Hi Gail Many thanks for your very positive review i am really glad you enjoyed your stay. Just one small point though that whilst not helpful now it might be useful for other guests reading this review. There is a washing line. It’s a retractable one attached to the wall in the garden. A really big thanks for your feedback, as a result we have put a note in the welcome pack in the house and have also updated the property description. Again many thanks and hope you return soon.

"Was perfect!"
-
"Wonderful - home from home and this fitted the bill for the needs of 3 generations of guests perfectly!"
Highly recommended! Only comment with such a large accommodation is that it may be difficult to fully list itinery. Our query to you as to availablity of electric fans was (understandibly) met with the answer if not listed not provided. With such large windows we needed them even in cooler weather. Of course they were provided!
-
"A wonderful home located close to the sea."
The home was very comfortable, clean, new, spacious and had all the items needed. It has a wonderful kitchen and lots of space to cook and eat as a group or family. Would gighly recommend for a peaceful getaway. Thank you.
-
"Had a great stay at the "Hideaway"."
Play area in the garden was great for the children. Pete was just installing several portable fans which were much appreciated as it was warm weather. Nice thoughtful touch. Great base for exploring an area we've never been to. Highly recommend.
-
"Excellent well equipped property."
Very comfortable and views from lounge and bedroom were lovely. The welcome pack was a nice touch. Location was great for exploring Kent and East Sussex. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
-
"Well equipped eg crockery, fridge/freezer and oven space and cooking utensils; TV not straightforward and kitchen TV missing many Freeview channels."
No radio (s). Hot water was Hot ! Maybe a few “coffee-table” books/guidebooks/maps helpful. Location completely excellent : contrast the open countryside with the sea walks two minutes away. Local shop useful. Sense of space lovely. Very minor : front door lock needs maintenance.
-
"Lovely property to stay at in a great location."
-
"Great property: clean, modern and spacious and very conveniently situated for visiting Dymchurch, White Cliffs of Dover, Dungeness (we caught the train from New Romney), Littlestone beach and the designer outlet at Ashford."
The only improvements I would suggest would be very minor: we could have done with a washing line outside, and we bought our own loo roll from Aldi because the one that was in the house when we arrived was too thin.
-
"I have been three times now to this property it wows me every time very comfortable home from home property ideally situated for days out ."
Stunning walks by the beach . Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending. Perfect break

Plenty of space for a family of 7. Lots crockery and utensils. Warm and cosy. The welcome pack was v thoughtful touch.

"The cottage was absolutely brilliant, it had everything we wanted and needed and more besides."
Peter couldn’t have been more helpful with a couple of queries we had prior to staying. It’s one of the best holiday homes I have had the pleasure of staying in.
-
"Lovely modern clean comfortable property."
Pub and shop just up the road. Very handy. New Romney and Hythe a bus ride away. Very enjoyable weekend.
-
"Excellent facilities, very comfortable which made a wonderful stay."
-
"The welcome pack for this house exudes warmth, reinforced by a personal email from the owners and a very generous welcome basket."
The house itself is excellent. Bright, quiet, very spacious and modern, it has a fantastic, well-equipped, kitchen and a lovely living area with a great view over part of the marshes - very relaxing! It's also perfectly located for walking the English Coast Path all the way from Rye to Dover, (which we comfortably managed in our week here). The stop for the 102 bus, which runs along the coast for that whole section, is just 4 or 5 minutes walk away. So convenient and, just as important, very reliable! There are plenty of restaurants, take-aways. convenience stores and even a large Sainsburys within 20 - 30 minutes walking distance, as well as an amazing tardis-like Spar just a 5 minute walk away. We had a wonderful week here exploring Rye, Dungeness, Dymchurch, Hythe, Folkestone and Dover as well as Littlestone itself.
-
"Fantastic modern property, everything you need to enjoy a comfortable break way from home is here."
Very spacious property with a lovely kitchen/diner perfecting for family evenings. Beautiful views and close to the beach for long walks. Friendly owners, lovely quiet area. Throughly recommend this property and hope to return.
-
"Outstanding property, ideal for a large family gathering, the kitchen diner was a place you didn’t want to leave makes you want to stay and chat, for the cook I never felt that anyone was getting in the way even with the children running around."
The property had an outstanding amount of utensils to service all the family. Two things that could be provided are oven gloves and some trays. This comment must not take away from the overall outstanding facilities of the property. The living room was perfect for relaxing. Great nights sleep on very comfortable beds. All the children felt at home from the moment they walked in. I would recommend the property to anyone who wants a perfect home from home holiday.
-
"Beautiful clean and spacious house with lovely views to the rear."
It's very close to the beach and handy for long walks along the sea front. The house is a short car or bus journey from New Romney where there are nice shops bars and restaurants. Would recommend for large family or group of friends.
-
"We all enjoyed this most comfortable and welcoming property, which was exactly as described by Sykes."
It was a wonderful base in which to explore parts of Sussex and Kent. Returning each day to Hideaway Beach house that provided every comfort and attention to detail, including BBQ and garden. We had come as a large family group and the house met all our needs perfectly. We are already recommending to family and friends and we will certainly be considering a return visit in the future. Thank you
-
"The Hideaway is a lovely house and perfect for a large or multi-generation family holiday."
Littlestone is very quiet, but there is plenty to see and do a bit further afield. The house has a nice garden with comfortable furniture and it's very child-friendly. Would definitely recommend.

"Pete was extremely helpful in dealing with an issue we had relating to the keys."

About the location
LITTLESTONE-ON-SEA
Folkstone 13.9 miles
Littlestone-on-Sea is a small coastal village close to New Romney in Kent, England. It was established in the 1880s by Sir Robert Perks as a resort for the gentry, at the point of the local lifeboat station. At low tide a World War II Mulberry Harbour Phoenix breakwater is visible along the coast; the caisson was unable to be refloated as part of the post D-Day harbour construction in Normandy, so was abandoned. The nature of the Phoenix breakwaters meant they were constructed and sunk until needed (so as to be invisible to air attack); by design they would have had the water evacuated by Royal Engineers and then been towed to France where they would have become part of the harbour. There is a P.L.U.T.O. or Pipe Line Under The Ocean, station, formerly used to carry petrol across to France during the D-Day landings.
