Description
"Sunshine 247365", as featured in the Guardian and the Daily Mail Beach Sun Retreat uniquely offers the 'perfect beach and summer holiday' with guaranteed sunbathing 365 days a year! A former seaside hotel, the property has been refurbished to an exceptional standard to provide a stylish, one off and spacious holiday retreat, nestled in a quiet location at the end of a private road, with a large lawned garden and direct private access from the side of the house to the sandy beach.
The retreat is one of the first in the country, alongside The Holistic Medical Centre in Harley Street and Grange St Pauls 5* Hotel, to have installed 'Real Sunlight's' innovative health-giving sun simulators. The sun room is part of the St Tropez-style large living area and provides a multi sensory tropical haven where guests can top up their tan and feel fabulous since it is beneficial against a whole host of health conditions such as SAD, stress, arthritis, skin problems, sleeping disorders, Vitamin D deficiency and so on.
Whether it is enjoying playing celebrity chef with the 7+hob range cooker, spinning the high end vinyl decks as a superstar DJ, or relaxing in front of a great movie in the authentic cinema room featuring a 3D TV, velvet cinema seats and popcorn machine, guests will have a great time in this house!
For an excellent night's sleep, fully unwind in the boutique-style individually-designed bedrooms featuring 3 king size bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and hand carved marble fireplaces plus 1 double, 3 twin bedrooms with en suite facilities, and 1 single bedroom. There is also a family bathroom for the double and single bedroom guests to share. Sumptuous linen and towels are provided.
For those that can bear to leave the house, it is an ideal base to enjoy Kent's many attractions. Sandy beaches, rolling countryside, picturesque villages, historic Canterbury, port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel are all within easy reach. The upper floors are unoccupied so visitors will have sole occupancy of the house and garden. Shop and pub within 500 yards.
Our changeover days are Mondays and Fridays. The house is available for 3 night weekend stays with arrival on Friday as well as 4 night mid week stays with arrival on Monday. 7 night plus longer stays are also welcome.
Occasionally we can offer discounts for mid week 4 night stays so please do inquire :)

Response from the owner Thanks Georgina for your helpful review. As you may recall after your tirade of complaints at checkin you were given the option to leave and have a full refund or to stay whereupon we offered a substantial discount and worked very hard to address your complaints. You chose to have a discount which we duly paid and yet you continue to level accusations in the most unpleasant way. We are sorry you didn’t have a nice time. Unfortunately you can’t please everyone all the time.

“Amazing!”
We stayed at the house for a long weekend to celebrate a 50th Birthday. The house is amazing .... I’d be here all day trying to explain, so quite simply it’s amazing! Go see for yourself. Good location - pub within walking distance does good food and has a wide selection of gins! We also had a chef come in to cook on the Saturday night (recommended by Louise) and the food was great. One friend said the dessert was the best he’d ever had!
