We have family in nearby Hythe, so staying at Sunrise served two purposes. The property (Sunrise), was immaculately presented, but was much smaller than we anticipated. However this is not intended to detract from the quality of the property. As for the local area, we didn't want to spend long travelling to and from places that we have been seveRead moreral times before, such as Canterbury or Dover for example. We instead wanted to explore 'unusual ' places like Dungeness. Typically for the UK, we had a brutal easterly wind which made this extremely challenging. Perhaps we are going soft in our advancing years! Sunrise was extremely quiet and peaceful and served as a useful bolthole. The nearby beach at St Mary's Bay was immaculate and perfect for our dog at low tide. We very much enjoyed our meals out and can highly recommend The Radnor Arms in Folkestone. Hide

The holiday home is a bijou. Very well equipped. We enjoined in the morning the sun illuminating the sun windows and the sunny protected garden. The surrounding has a charm of its own. The noise of the many bikers on the near road is as in many other places a nuisance.

Lovely, well-equipped cottage- great that the art deco windows have inspired the decor etc. Really appreciated a cottage described as having "a fully enclosed garden" really was fully enclosed and we didn't have to worry about our dog escaping.

The cottage was great. Loved the art deco vibe and garden. However the local coast line is concrete, uninspiring and boring. The village pub (Sargeant Ballif) was a dive. Would not visit the area again.
