Very nice

Charlie and Andrew were very kind and friendly. We enjoyed the stay with them. The room is clean and comfortable for a couple traveling around the country. We would certainly return if we travel again to that region of England. There are lots of places to visit if someone is interested in British history. We warmly recommend them and their home to everyone.

We had a lovely 3 night stay with Andrew and Charlie who made us feel at home. They were both very friendly, helpful and had good local advice. The bed was comfy and the house and room were very clean and nice. Lovely enjoyable stay, would definitely recommend and will stay there if we go to Herne bay again.

For me and my son it was great staying with Charlie, Andrew and their 2 cats. They are lovely and gorgeous people really taking very good care of their guests. We are thinking going back with my husband and our daughter to their place soon.

Had a lovely nights stay with Andrew and Charlie. We couldn't fault it. They were very welcoming, our room was lovely and clean. The spacious, shared bathroom wasn't an issue. This was our first time staying in someone's home and we were a little apprensive but our worries were soon forgotten, Andrew even booked a taxi for us for our evening out. We will definitely book again.

Lovely one night stay here.
Andrew and Charlie are very friendly and welcoming and made us feel really comfortable during our stay.
Large double bedroom overlooking their courtyard. Shared use of a bathroom.
Very quiet location but only a short stroll down to the pier and seafront.
Ate at The wine Bar in Herne Bay which I'd highly recommend.
Would highly recommend for a short visit, either to Herne Bay/Whistable area, and only a 15 minute drive from Canterbury.
