Was particularly impressed with the quality of the fixtures, fittings and decoration throughout. Two good sized main bedrooms and small box room with a single bed, so can easily accommodate two couples. The stairs might be a problem for any elderly visitors as these are a bit steep but all in all I would highly recommend the flat to others thinking of staying ##### Paul M.

A walk to the sea front is just a couple of minutes. Extremely responsive and supportive owner/agent. Property was very clean. Two flights of stairs so not for those with mobility problems. You cannot park beyond one hour on the street but plenty of available (paid and free) parking options nearby. We really enjoyed our stay and it was great to be in walking distance of everything in Broadstairs. ##### E O.
