Vine Cottage - Sandgate

The location was perfect and the local cafes, restaurants and shops were really lovely.

Perfect location for our stay and visiting friends. Charming grade 2 listed property - you could feel the history. Everything provided for convenience and a great break.

Nothing

The location of the property is amazing! Lots of nice cafes and food places near by. It's very close to the beach, which was really peaceful and not too busy even when the weather was amazing. The house is homey, and has everything you need for a little trip away. The little area at the back of the house was helpful as we brought our dog!

The property is not particularly premium feeling for the price point. There's no parking directly at the property (which we knew in advance, no issue with this, but incase its helpful for future visitors to know, there are good Ringo car parks a short walk away)

Location, host communication first class, house exceptional . Loved it.

Nothing worth noting

Was very easy to get in and keys were in a lockbox. House is a nice size and hosts were quick to respond to the problems below

Unfortunately the whole property really stank of damp. We had booked for three nights and couldn't stay after the first as started to affect my husband's and my daughter's breathing. To me it looks like it's been recently painted as couldn't see the source of the damp but the smell didn't abate even with opening all the windows and was in every room. The hosts did respond quickly but booking.com and hosts only refunded us for one night which I'm not pleased about when it was unlivable state and presumably a health hazard to of affect my family so quickly. We have stayed in various places over the years and have never had to leave because something was that bad, this time we had too, it was unbearable. It's a shame as it's a large property, right on the high street and a stones throw from the beach.
