Martin Holiday Homes - Our two bungalows with gardens and easy parking, are well situated to enjoy all our area has to offer. Broadstairs is a pretty town, which still retains its unspoilt charm, with its narrow streets, flint cottages, and interesting shops, all beautifully set off by a wide sandy bay and harbour, and cliff-top gardens.
If you like boats, Ramsgate Harbour is a source of never ending interest and there are lots of nice cafés at the harbour side. Have a cup of coffee and watch the world sail by.
There are lots of other sandy bays and coves in the nearby area, and a little further afield, quite different coastal areas, with chalk and flint predominating. Don't miss magical Sandwich Bay and fascinating Dungeness (travel from Hythe on the miniature railway for the best way to see it). Whitstable and Faversham are well worth a visit, and so are Dover, Deal and Walmer with their historic castles.
Inland, Kent is a beautiful county, with orchards, woodlands and rolling scenery. And there are some very attractive villages, in most of which you will be able to find a cosy pub for lunch.
Canterbury is about half an hour's drive away. It is a wonderful city, with breathtaking buildings, not least the cathedral, and lovely shops. And if you fancy a day across the Channel, there are plenty of ferries from nearby Dover to France and Belgium.
Both houses have washing machine, TV with Freeview, DVD player, telephone, free wireless broadband, fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, radio, coffee maker and lots more, as well as the obvious things like plenty of china, cutlery etc. Cooking is by gas. There is central heating and plenty of hot water, with all gas and electricity included in the rent in the summer, and most of it in the winter.
OCCUPANCY - From Easter until the end of October this is on a weekly basis, with changeover days on Friday at St Christophers and Saturday at Dumpton Ridge. Midweek bookings and short breaks are available out of season, and at short notice during the summer if dates available.
PETS - We regret no pets are allowed.
LINEN - Bed linen is included in rent and towels can be hired. All beds have duvets but we can provide blankets if preferred.
St Christophers - This is a detached bungalow on a corner plot, just a few yards from Broadstairs seafront, close to the main bay and harbour, and very convenient for beaches, shops and restaurants, all within a quarter mile. There is ample off-road parking, and an interesting garden.
The sitting room is very large, light and sunny, with gas-coal fire, and the furnishings include 2 easy chairs, a sofa and a dining table and chairs.
The kitchen leads into a newly built spacious conservatory which is a lovely place to eat or relax. There is also access to a patio area furnished with table and chairs and the rest of the garden.
There are two large bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two singles. The shower room has a walk-in shower and wash basin and there is a separate loo.
We have recently installed wireless broadband for your convenience.
Dumpton Ridge - This is a detached bungalow, situated in a pleasant, open and slightly elevated position near the seafront at Dumpton Gap. It is set well back from the road with lawns at the front, off-road parking for several cars, and a sheltered enclosed garden with sun terrace at the rear.
The nearest corner shop is about half a mile away, with a good variety of shops in Broadstairs town centre, a mile away.
The sitting room is large and light with an enclosed gas fire, and furnishings include 2 comfortable sofas. It leads into a large conservatory which doubles as the dining area and has a door into the garden. There is also access to the garden from the kitchen, which has gas cooking and a small breakfast bar.
There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, and the other with twin beds. Bathroom with bath and basin, separate shower room and separate loo.
