About the host
Hosted by Naomi Holloway

We've owned Heron Cottage since 2012 and have enjoyed it as a family bolt hole whilst also sharing it with visitors, many who are repeat guests.
We love being so close to the beach and often the car doesn't move whilst we're visiting the area. A favourite activity is to walk the 5 miles to Folkestone and then get the bus back, often via lunch at Bella Pizza Pasta on Sandgate Road. Closer to home the pubs all do great food or there's the Waterfront Restaurant for a beach side meal. Over in Folkestone a treat is Rocksalt restaurant overlooking the harbour arm.
Dymchurch and beyond has the sandy beaches and Dungeness has a particular charm.
A wander along Hythe high street usually results in an unexpected purchase of food or nicknack.

Why they chose this property
Swimming: The beach at Hythe is safe for swimming or as an alternative the local 25m swimming pool in Hythe is about 500m away. It nearly always has public swimming with lane ropes for serious swimmers and there are regular fun swims for children in the school holidays
Walking: The Saxon Shore Way runs 160 miles from Gravesend to Hastings (passing close to Hythe) and is named after the line of historic fortifications that defended the Kent coast at the end of the roman era. The Elham Valley Way runs from the historic cathedral city of Canterbury all the way to Hythe through beautiful countryside and the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Cycling: National Cycle Routes 2 and 17 are accessible locally.

What makes this property unique
It s real family home - we've equipped it so that there's everything you might need. If I'm cooking and don't have something I get it and leave it for others.
We run an honesty kitchen so no need to carry all those cooking essentials - our policy is help yourself but if you use the last of something please replace it.
