Cosy place
A great place in the nice little town of Hythe, 5min walk to the beach, 10min to the High Street, all the amenities close by.We did not miss anything in the house. First of all, the house is very well equipped: kitchen and bath with all the necessary appliances, comfortable beds, good Wifi etc. Apart from that, we loved the artwork, the colours: a great fusion of features of a traditional house and clever ideas. Thank you, Naomi.
