Stunning property providing beautiful accommodation whilst enjoying a prime hilltop location in the pretty market town of Hythe.

This stylish, Grade II listed cottage is set on a quiet pedestrianised street overlooking St Leonards Church in Hythe and makes for a great seaside break. Hythe is a delightful market town that offers a wealth of independent shops and a fine selection of restaurants, cafes, and pubs, all within 0.25 of the cottage. The local beach is just 0.5 miles away and is perfect for families with its gentle shelving beach as well as a variety of water sports on offer including windsurfing and kitesurfing. Old and young alike will enjoy a trip on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch railway which runs from Hythe through to Dungeness.

The front door of this beautiful property opens into a small lobby where there is space for dropping off coats and shoes before heading into the comfortably furnished lounge that features a sofa, and two comfortable armchairs arranged around the beautiful inglenook fireplace that houses the Smart TV. From the lounge, there are two steps up into the kitchen/diner that features everything you will need for whipping up a delicious meal including an electric oven and gas hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, Nespresso coffee machine, and microwave. The central island with four stools is the perfect spot for relaxed mealtimes and there are stairs from the kitchen that lead up to the first floor where you will find two comfortable bedrooms. The first on offer is a sumptuous super-king with views across to the local churchyard and out to sea and the second is a cosy bunk room with sea views. The bunk bed is suitable for either two children or one adult as the top bunk is slightly shorter than a standard size. Both bedrooms share the shower room which features a walk-in shower and WC.

Outside at the rear of the cottage, you'll discover a pretty garden that is a wonderful sun trap throughout the day and offers sea views across the rooftops of Hythe. Here you will find comfortable patio seating and a charcoal BBQ for relaxed entertaining. There is unrestricted roadside parking available 50m from the property (subject to availability) accessed via a flight of steps.

A lovely cottage, small and comfortable. A great position just minutes down to the high street - but more of a cardio walk back up the hill. Parking was not a problem as we opted for the second road back - always space. We had good weather so were able to use the little garden which has wonderful views. The cottage is listed so quirky - low ceilingRead mores and doorways did lead to a lot of head bashing for my tall husband. Hide

Cosy cottage in a wonderful hilltop location (yet an easy five-minute stroll to Hythe town centre). A family of four with teenagers/older kids may find it a touch cramped but ideal for couples or a couple with younger children.

This is a lovely little cottage within walking distance of the town, the shops and the sea. The cottage had everything in order to have a great holiday and was quiet and peaceful even though it is not detatched. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We can reccommend it!

Ducks Cottage is clean, well equipped, very cosy and very very quiet. It's situated a few hundred yards from the High Street with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and a Sainsburys one way, Waitrose the other with the sea front a few hundred yards further on. We used the local bus service to Canterbury and Folkstone and also travelled on the RHDR Read morerailway down to Dungeness. The walk back up to the cottage is a bit steep but we like walking and really enjoyed our stay. Hide

A really nice well maintained cottage in spotless condition and in a great location. Kitchen very nice and well equipped, beds and seating very comfortable. Somewhat lacking in originality for a listed building but still nice to look at. A superb base for our holiday.

This is a very well appointed cottage with wonderful views over the town on to the sea - the sheltered sunny terrace in the corner of the garden is a delightfully quiet spot with great views over the channel coast to Dungeness and beyond. All the kitchen equipment works well; plenty of storage space for food and easy to cook and good restaurant andRead more cafe choices nearby. Hide
