Beachside Mews

My female cousin and I were In Broadstairs for a family occasion and the layout of the apartment allowed us to retain our privacy due to the two separate bathrooms, making it ideal for our circumstances. The kitchen equipment (cutlery, crockery glassware etc) was more than adequate. The apartment is roomy and well appointed. The host provides a manual filled with useful information and instructions. The location is ideal; adjacent Louisa Bay and only 10 minutes to Victoria Gardens (for example); and the A255 is just at the top of West Cliff Road, giving you access to supermarkets and petrol stations. We arrived early in the evening and we think that had a bearing on the car-parking availability. By the morning of the next day, there were many more cars parked, both on West Cliff Road and around onto Western Esplanade.

We felt the existing cleaning sponges were past their best so we bought a few cleaning cloths and sponges along with a squeegee for the shower and an insect spray for the odd fly or two that got in. These, we left for the next guests.

location very good. space in flat excellent. very quiet. Easy to relax. Kitchen good for meal prep; two can work in it easily. Great selection of appliances. A great flat to catch up with oneself and recharge.

Sky wifi not enough bandwidth and incompatible with Vodafone wifi calling which severely restricted calling taxis and restaurants for reservations. Old plumbing makes flushing the toilet a longer process than it should be.

The property was brilliant in every aspect, we couldn't fault it.

How hilly Broadstairs is

Location was excellent. Central. Lots of household utensils & gadgets to make stay easy. Cafeterias, pans , dishes, glasses in abundance. Hairdryers, irons, laundry & dishwasher excellent.

On entry it smelt really badly of dampness. Damp smell from kitchen cupboards & used dishcloth & sponge was awful. The main double bedroom with on suite continually smelled of damp, particularly on the outside wall in the left corner of the room. The baby could not sleep in there. Shower had a lot of mould in it. It was listed as a flat with a garden. This wasn’t true as the path outside the front door was not big enough for a sitting area as it faced a carpark & had 2 very large smelly bins in that area.
