The house is very attractive, as are the surrounding gardens. Sea views and access just across the road to the shingle beach were also lovely features. The best view was from the viewing room on the first floor, unfortunately only reached by a somewhat perilous steeply winding staircase with no handrail at the bottom.
We enjoyed the cycle/footpath via which we could enjoy long walks with a wheelchair towards Deal on a flat, smooth surface. But we were disappointed by the lack of disabled access in nearby pubs and eateries.
The large kitchen/diner was very well equipped. We also appreciated the very comfortable beds. Some of the seating in the living room was rather well worn and could do with updating. It was a constant problem trying to watch TV which had no terrestrial aerial and kept warning of no signal. I then managed with some difficulty to get the connection from the BT box working but the BT box often shut itself off after a few hours, particularly annoying when watching Wimbledon. Sorting the connection again wasn’t straightforward. However, the Wi-fi signal was very good and reliable.
My wife is disabled and has great difficulty with her mobility so it was good that she had the bedroom adjacent to the toilet. The bathroom was also in a convenient position next door. However, when in the living room and requiring a visit to the toilet, with my help, it would take a considerable time to get there and back again. If there was any possibility of a further toilet downstairs it would make a big difference, especially I would think if eight people were staying.
We enjoyed our break and whilst we have made some criticisms, we do understand that the accommodation was not specifically advertised as suitable for the disabled. Our main criterion was to have two bedrooms on the ground floor and this was fully satisfied!
