The high speed train stops at the station and the journey from London is only 1 hour 20 minutes. Before you enter your eyes will be instantly drawn to the unique exterior design and elegant veranda. According to the history of the bungalow, the original owners in 1909 had returned to the UK after working on a tea plantation in India and decided they wanted their home to resemble the traditional type of house they had lived in whilst in India. The current owners have paid homage to this with a tea themed display. On entering the bungalow, you are welcomed by the charming kitchen fully equipped with all the appliances you need during your stay; including a fridge(with freezer box), hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer. A range of essentials is also supplied, as well as a selection of teas to choose from - because, sometimes all you need is a good cuppa!

It includes a dining table seating 6 and two cosy sofas facing a large smart TV, with Streaming Channels (please login into your own account) and basic Sky Q. Off the living room there is access to the blooming front garden and veranda. This is a perfect place to stand outside, drinking your cup of tea and watching/listening to the songbirds in the morning. There are 3 bright and spacious bedrooms with lots of hanging and storage space. Two of the bedrooms are twins so, they both have two single beds, suitable for any age. The twin room at the back also provides an exit to the rear garden. The main bedroom has a comfy king bed and access to the pleasantly designed conservatory. The sunny conservatory provides extra living accommodation and is a great place to unwind. You will find cushioned wicker seating and ottoman with a variety of games, cards and books.

Comfortable beds, excellent showers a fabulous location. We loved the path to the beach and that it was so easy to walk into town. It would have been nice to have a few more mugs and some serving dishes. There were lots of lovely teapots but no milk jug! Altogether, a most comfortable stay and we would return. ##### SusanK ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela C. 1 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Characterful but nicely modern Good location and spotlessly clean.

We liked the location, near the beach and an easy walk into the centre. We were able to paddle board etc. We enjoyed Stone Bay and also spent a day on Viking Bay and went back in the evening to.the fireworks which were v impressive. We walked into Ramsgate one day and caught the open top bus back to very near the house ##### Patricia O.

Lovely and cosy. Well equipped. Great location. Straight downs steps opposite to a super beach. Ideally located for exploring Kent. Couldn't fault anything about the booking. Thanks! ##### Michael M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith R. 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Really stay Lovely bungalow. Perfect facilities. Took extended family for the Holiday. If you like beaches, then a slope and 82 steps takes you to a lovely cove. Plenty of Supermarkets within a 10 minute drive. If you want a basepoint so to be able to go out for says out. Then this could be perfect. Or just stay at the accommodation and relax and enjoy where you are. Just beware, the streets/roads to get you to the bungalow are a little crowded and tight. Suggest you put a swear box in the car and see the jar fill up quickly. Lol ##### Keith R.
