Platt Cottage is in a great location off the main road with views overlooking fields and the South Downs. St Mary's Bay steam engine stop is a few houses away. It is a request stop so you have to stick your hand out for the train to pick you up. The cottage is very well equipped and tastefully furnished and finished. It was well cleaned and mostRead more welcoming. We spent a lot of time in the garden playing games and eating. A short drive down the road you can park then walk to the beach a ten minute walk along the main road. We all had a wonderful week staying at Platt Cottage and the weather was amazing. I have already booked for next year the same property shame the cost has now gone up 15% which sadly at the moment with people struggling this is quite a jump from this year. Hide

We stayed over Christmas 2025 and had the most fantastic time (3 adults, 2 kids and 1 large dog). The cottage was wonderfully clean and the kitchen was the equipped with everything we needed for a full Christmas dinner. The beds are super comfy and bathrooms/showers are brilliant. We took our dog and the garden was very safe, the beach is a 10 minuRead morete walk or 5 minute drive with plenty of parking and lots of space for the dog/kids to run. The owners gave us a beautiful Christmas hamper and there was cleaning/washing up supplies available. There is so much to explore in the local area including steam trains, beaches and woods. We also had a family member with reduced mobility and this cottage was safe and accessible for her. I would whole heartedly recommend this cottage as a great place to stay and we hope to go back again. Hide

The bungalow is well looked after, clean and tidy. Plenty of room for the four of us and a little doggy. The place was just a short walk from the sea. Short distance to food shops and we found Yongs did some great Chinese food. Well situated to explore the area. Nice garden to relax in. We were happy and recommend this place.

Very comfortable with a lovely ambience and.spacious rooms (lounge very comfortable for five adults but six may find it a squeeze). Superb kitchen diner, wonderful outlook from garden straight on to fields and you can hear the steam trains as they pass, we liked that. Very close to sea and countryside.Ample parking and an easy walk to local shops.

A lovely cottage conveniently situated a short walk from the sandy beach. The garden is dog friendly providing you ensure the front gates are closed! The sitting room and fridge are small for 6 but as there were only 4 of us it was fine. A shame that the sitting room doesnt benefit from the lovely views over the field at the back we will return.

Unfortunately the local beach was filthy and so not much to do in the area without some travelling. Folkstone was lovely and the local shop had everything you could need. Location was peaceful Read moretoo, and lovely views from the cottage. Hide
