This guesthouse is a fantastic place to stay. Clean, the host was so friendly and couldn’t do enough.  The decor was very historical which was themed around an old post office with fantastic artifacts around the building. Not only a pleasure to stay but also the hight of interest.  Hythe is equally beautiful. This guest house is in a fantastic location just of the main high street but equally quiet at night and we stayed at the weekend. The bed was very comfortable enabling a good night’s sleep for the following day and the room was large. Recommended. High praise.  Would stay again.

The accommodation was excellent, the welcome was first class and the communication was at just the right level - not intrusive, but there when needed. The host was able to point us towards a fantastic place for breakfast and we were able to get a discount on the food bill.||||A most welcoming place to stay, thoroughly recommended.

Unique, fascinating, centrally located and SO friendly. Only 3 rooms plus a family suite, so "special". The owners are on site along with their gorgeous Jack Russel Charlie (who is lovely).|Centrally located so everything is within easy walking distance.
