Guest Reviews
- Margit (10/5): Abseits vom Trubel ein perfekter Aufenthalt in warmer und einladender Atmosphäre. - Ein Aufenthalt zum genießen und wohlfühlen. Lage, Freundlichkeit, Sauberkeit, alles perfekt. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Ein wunderschönes großes Bad, eine gemütliche Küche, ein absolut bequemes Bett. Bob war super nett und es hat Freude gemacht, dass er uns beim Frühstück Gesellschaft geleistet hat. Das ganze Haus hat eine einladende und warme Atmosphäre. Wir fühlten uns so richtig willkommen und würden das nächste Mal auf jeden Fall länger bleiben, denn die ganze Gegend ist sehr einladend und abseits vom Trubel.
Danke für alles. Dass wir nur eine Nacht bleiben konnten.

- Nadia (8/5): Alles in orde. Zeer vriendelijke eigenaars! - Grote badkamer, comfortabel bed.
Aangename sfeer.
- Margaret (9/5): A real treat. - Very different to anywhere I’ve stayed before. Amazing home with unique decor. Lovely hosts who were exceptionally helpful. The catering facilities are in the family kitchen. The guest lounge was downstairs so couldn’t really go down in my pj’s. Overall though it was lovely to chat to my hosts over breakfast. Nothing.
- Alison (10/5): A great host, facilities and location. - All great
- Shawn (10/5): Peaceful home in rural seaside England. - Katherine and Bob were so kind and hospitable. We showed up two hours before our expected arrival time and they offered us dinner and then called several local pubs to inquire about food when we said we were looking for fish and chips. Katherine set out a lovely breakfast in the morning and made us feel like family.
- Markus (10/5): Fabulous hosts and very helpful. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone who wants a nice place away from - Hosts are amazing and very friendly. Nil

- Tillman (10/5): One word: amazing - Catherine and Bob's warm hospitality, their beautifully and tastefully decorated house, the cleanliness, the luxurious bathroom, the seaview – each of these alone would justify a stay at the Little Basset, but all of them combined made our short stay into a truly wonderful experience. Catherine even prepared us a little breakfast with scones and freshly baked bread and gave us a hug before we had to leave for the Tunnel. For us, this stay was really the cherry on the cake of our England trip. Highly recommended! None of the following was an issue for us – just sharing for others who might care: The bathroom is private but not ensuite, and the rooms are up one flight of stairs, so might not be suitable for people with limited mobility.
- Lorraine (10/5): Felt Like Visiting Old Friends - Location, friendliness, cleanliness,
We recently enjoyed a two-night stay at Catherine and Bob’s beautiful home, and from the moment we arrived, we felt more like we were visiting old friends than paying guests. Within 15 minutes of arriving, we were completely at ease.
The house itself is stunning — tastefully decorated, spotless throughout, and full of thoughtful touches. The bathroom was huge and stocked with everything you might need, from shampoo to shower gel, which was such a nice touch. Our bedroom had a lovely view of the sea, and even though the weather wasn’t on our side, I still managed to enjoy a wander through their beautiful garden.
Catherine and Bob told us to treat the house as our own, and we genuinely felt at home. Having a morning coffee in their fantastic kitchen, looking out onto the garden, was such a treat. Catherine also kindly made us fresh buttermilk scones and homemade bread each morning — not something that’s included in the stay, which made it feel extra special.
They’ve done an incredible job restoring the house, and it’s clear how much care and love has gone into every detail. The property is actually for sale, and if it were within our price range, we’d have snapped it up in a heartbeat!
Thank you, Catherine and Bob, for such a wonderful stay. We’ll definitely be back when we’re next down your way house hunting. Leaving 😒
- Vincent (10/5): Lovely hosts, fantastic accommodation and great location… - The hosts are great value and so helpful. The pictures don’t do the bedroom and the magnificent bathroom justice. There are sea views from the bedroom. It is quiet but near the beach and great pub-restaurants. That we booked just one night…should have stayed longer.
- Robert (9/5): A great stay at such an interesting property with such friendly, informative and welcoming hosts. - Self catered for breakfast with additional items freely offered by hosts.
Accommodation was excellent with very welcoming hosts. Bedroom, bathroom and kitchen were roomy, well provisioned, clean, and very interesting to “explore and investigate”the many artefacts in the home. Nothing really - the stay at Little Bassett met all our expectations.
- Rozie (10/5): - Little Basset is a unique mix of homely comfort and a total luxurious experience. Everything is stunningly presented and there is a warm and welcoming vibe . The location is also beautiful , with unspoilt coastal walks and cosy beach pubs ,,, what could be better . We cannot fault our stay at Little Basset , just perfect thank you .
- Jennifer (10/5): A very special and lovely place - We had a wonderful time with Cathrine and Bob. They're such lovely hosts. They love what they do and that is, what makes it a special place. "Make yourself a home" is not just said, that's what they both live.
Cathrine made us great bread. We didn't expected breakfast, so it was a big surprise for us.
The house is a very cosy and individual place. The bathroom is a spa temple and you will enjoy every minute.
Sadly, we couldn't use the garden, because the weather was typically British. But we will come back and stay again at this lovely place.
Thank you for the wonderful time.
- Parvin (10/5): - It's vey nice, comfortable and cozy. It's far beautiful than in pictures. And most important, Catherine and Bobby are a very lovely and friendly people. You will enjoy the British decorations and nice view.
- martin (10/5): Fantastisch - Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt, das Zimmer war wunderschön und sauber. Super Ort zum sich entspannen.
Auch Catherine und Bob waren sehr lieb.
Es ist sehr zu empfehlen.

- Zoe (10/5): Welcoming and very comfortable in a great location. - A lovely welcome. The room was lovely and had a sea view. The bed was extremely comfortable. Bathroom was huge with a fantastic shower and roll top bath, with a view over the fields. Fresh baked scones and a huge pot of coffee were made for us in the morning, even though our booking was for the room only. Loved everything!
- Beatrix (9/5): - Vriendelijke en zorgzame host!
Goeie koffie!
Prachtig huis. Prachtige badkamer.
Mochten overal gebruik van maken!
Aan alles was gedacht!
- Tamara (10/5): - Ubytování bylo velmi čisté, pohodlné, koupelna velká a čistá. Catherine i Bob naprosto úžasní, srdeční vstřícní a ochotní pomoci a poradit v každé situaci. Dům velmi vkusně zařízený s krásnou zahradou. Výborná restaurace King's head v dochozí vzdálenosti, stejně jako moře. Do Doveru asi 10 km, Sandwich o něco dále. Bylo to jedno z nejhezčích ubytování s úžasným personálem. Nic mne nenapadá.

Hosts are very welcoming and made some fresh bread for us Lovely property lovely garden just a shame we didn’t have good weather to enjoy the garden
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Totally renewed place, the nicest hosts I've ever had, so helpful and friendly, seaview, 10 min. walk to the pubs, a bit like the good old traditional B&B. Excellent!
- Rob (10/5): Exceptional - Great place with a warm welcome,

- Ian (10/5): A beautiful and unique place to stay, with caring and friendly hosts - Friendly, helpful hosts; splendid views from bedroom (sunrise) and bathroom (sunset); very comfortable bed; high quality of shower, bath etc in huge bathroom; beautiful garden; ideal location for clifftop walks; wonderful smell of baking bread (which tasted delicious too)...
- Monica (10/5): Very comfortable and relaxed stay in great location with lovely hosts. - Very friendly hosts. Lovely bed. Great views and it was walking distance to pub and church where we had memorial service.
- Lothar (9/5): Superb - Very calm.
Nice breakfast with homemade scones and bread. Cereals, butter, jam.
Only a 10 minutes walk to the pubs at or nearby the sea.
- Wendy (10/5): A perfect place to stay! - Catherine and Bob the hosts, were so friendly and did so much to make us feel welcome and at ease. The property is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We were invited to use the unique garden and summerhouse with it's splendid countryside views. The location for Walmer and Deal is great and we very much enjoyed our evening walks to eat at The Rising Sun. A friendly little pub about 10 minutes away. We would 100% recommend this property. Nothing not to like!
- Beate (9/5): Super!! - Lovely and caring hosts, nice bedroom, comfortable bed and mattress, huge bathroom, beautiful kitchen and garden, wonderful view. Safe parking on the site, friendly pubs and the seaside nearby. Not much space for your suitcase in the bedroom, but a huge wardrobe instead, so not a real problem.
- Steve (10/5): Beautiful house, friendly hosts and spotlessly clean - A beautiful 1930’s house being meticulously restored by its owners. The bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable and spotlessly clean, and there are three pubs in the village if you need an evening meal. We slept soundly! The hosts were charming, very friendly and interesting, and were up early to provide tea before our ferry trip. A lovely and tranquil place to stay, we would certainly return if travelling from Dover again. Nothing, everything was super.
- Christian (10/5): Warm and welcoming! - We had an exceptional stay at Little Basset. The hosts were extraordinarily friendly and went above and beyond to fulfill our wishes. Our host even called several restaurants to help us find a great fish restaurant. The house itself is beautifully and lovingly decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere and it was impeccably clean. We felt incredibly comfortable and at home. It’s only a 15 min drive to the ferry and there are great dining options nearby. We highly recommend this place and would return anytime!
- Liz (10/5): Excellent Accommodation - Excellent accommodation, very clean. Hosts couldn't do more. Beautiful house, easy parking, walking distance to the sea. Pubs within walking distance with good food. Small shop in the village but not open in the evenings. 10 minute drive to the ferry terminal. Nothing to not like.
- Taylor (10/5): Practically perfect in every way! - The whole experience has been amazing. The staff have been so accommodating and thoughtful it's blown us away! Nothing, everything was perfect.
- Fransisca (10/5): Beautiful property, lush garden, beautiful surrounding and walking distance to the pebble beach, too - The room and other facilities were exceptionally clean!
Catherine is very generous with breakfast and hospitable. even packed us some homemade scones for the journey back home! Nothing - liked everything
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olivier (9/5): Superb - We felt immediately at home when Catherine and Bob welcomed us. We arrived late by bike and immediately were helped with takeaway food.
We loved the home decoration, a fantastic bed, and sea view looking at at sunrise.
Next morning, with sea view and sunrise from the room and fully recovered, back on the saddle…
We would come back anytime! Nothing
- David (10/5): Exceptional - We liked the style and decoration of every room. The whole place was exceptionally clean. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was unique and outstanding. Absolutely nothing.
- Tara (10/5): Relaxing, peaceful stay with a very welcoming host in a beautiful home. - Very warm welcome to a beautiful home. Very pretty village with a lovely walk down to the beach and pub. Pleasant beachside stroll along the seafront to Walmer and Deal. Nice bars and restaurants in Deal and on our return the lovely host was very friendly and we slept very well in the peaceful room and comfortable bed.
We were made to feel very much at home and highly recommend.
Thanks very much. Looking forward to our return.
Tara and Alistair
