This was our second visit to Rumbosun. The cottage is lovely, well appointed and great location near the beach.
The rooms are comfortable, light and airy. There is a great enclosed garden which was ideal for the dog, which back gate access, so that they we didn't have to come back through the house.
It is very peaceful here as there isn't a lot of noise, even with renovation work across the road.
Being able to park at the back of the house was very useful too.
There a couple of minor things which require addressing in the house as it is old, the main issue being the living room sofas as they are very low and extremely uncomfortable. One of the sofas is broken and is propped up with a footstool. If these sofas were replaced the cottage would be perfect.
I will probably visit again, if the sofas were replaced.

We had a very comfortable stay in Rumbosun. The cottage has everything you need and the location is great for walks to St Margaret’s Bay and Deal.
We did flag a few things up with the letting agent on our departure, particularly the garden which is in need of some tlc as dome of the bushes were very overgrown. We received a prompt reply to say that these would be sorted.

A unique location. Enjoyable place to holiday and relax. Great community and excellent walking trails. Historic sites close by and great pub food in close walking distance.The accommodation has an excellent bathroom and kitchen. Stairs are risky and neck-breaking. Master bedroom has a very small double-bed. Some nice pieces of antique furniture but most furniture in lounge and dining is not in good condition and broken lounges need replacing. Dining table too fragile to be used. Laneway at front door is dirt, busy with traffic and very dusty. Can't leave front door open... car covered in thick dust each day.Cottage has a lovely 'feel' about it and overall it was an enjoyable stay.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2024
Very well-located cottage, but overall disappointing. Very poor value for money. There is only a downstairs bathroom, which is very inconvenient. The cottage was freezing cold in late March (not sure if the heating was even on?). It generally had a look of not being cared for, and coasting on its (excellent) location. At least the kitchen was well-appointed (if tiny). Given it was only marginally less expensive per night than Downs Cottage around the corner for it (where we had a most excellent stay in 2022), this was truly very disappointing. We only stayed one night so didn’t bother making a fuss.
