Self catering accommodation in Hythe sleeps 4.
Features include: • Romantic Breaks • Close to the Beach • Pub near by • Cottage Sleeps 4
Accommodation overview: Hillside details
Hillside is a Victorian holiday cottage set on a quiet lane within the conservation area, overlooking Hythe to the English Channel and on a clear day, the French coast. The Cinque Port of Hythe has changed little over the years, with its narrow streets and passageways complemented by historic buildings and public gardens.
The luxury self-catering cottage is within a short stroll of Hythe's attractions: the local shops which provide a pleasant mix of traditional green grocers, bakery and butchers, intermingled with restaurants, wine bars and antique shops; the Royal Military Canal which offers holiday guests the chance to hire a rowing boat or try your hand at fishing; the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, where one can take a trip on the world's smallest public steam railway across Kent's famous Romney Marsh to Dungeness.
Hythe's beach, where fishing boats are pulled up between trips, is a pleasant 12-minute walk from the holiday property via the Royal Military Canal and "Ladies Walk" gardens. One can walk and cycle along the promenade or simply sit on the beach and watch the more energetic windsurfing and sailing.
Other nearby Kent attractions are Brockhill Country Park with 54 acres of lakes and woodland walks (10 minutes), Port Lympne Animal Park (20 minutes), Dover Castle, the Cinque Port of Rye and the historic city of Canterbury.
For the more adventurous the Channel Tunnel allows easy access to the French coast, and day trips by car to the attractive towns of Boulogne, Montreuil and Le Touquet. Sandling mainline railway station (five minutes' drive from the property) provides access to London (journey time one hour 26 minutes).

Accommodation overview: Landward Cottage (Isle of Wight) details
In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats are pleased to present St Catherine's Lighthouse in Niton, the Isle of Wight. St Catherine's Lighthouse is situated just outside the hamlet of Niton, approximately 10 minutes' drive from the popular coastal resort of Ventnor, the southern most point of the Isle of Wight. The site comprises a terrace of three self-catering holiday rentals, former lighthouse keepers cottages, Landward Cottage, Gurnard and Penda. There are guided tours of the lighthouse throughout the year (subject to availability). If you would like to view the lighthouse please visit http://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses/visitor-centres.html or telephone 01983 730435.
The Lighthouse grounds are enclosed with a wall but young children should be supervised at all times. There is an excellent real ale pub a 10-minute walk up the hill. Each holiday cottage has a private enclosed courtyard and parking area. Beyond the courtyard there is a communal grass area where children can play. Guests can unload in the parking area adjacent to Penda Cottage.
The lighthouse does not have a fog signal.
Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.
Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.
