This is a lovely cottage with a great view and access to the beach. It also has a an excellent, well-equipped kitchen and breakfast area, a delightful bedroom, an excellent bathroom with walk in shower, capacaious and new washing machine and dryer, and a great lounge. The front patio overlooks the beach and is a tea place to sit on a sunny day orRead more to watch the sun go down. And if its wet, there is a great TV with satellite and internet services, and loads of good books and games. All in all, Iluka is a great place for a peaceful stay with all mod cons by the beach.

This is a very quiet, clean and comfortable holiday home with great sea views from the lounge. The town centre is close by with a good range of shops and the Hampton Inn serves good food and is only a short walk.

A beautiful, cottage in an amazing location. The cottage is a home from home, with 5 star facilities. The location is stunning, the colours in the morning sunrise are breath-taking, plenty of coastal walks, for both humans and their four legged friends.

We had the most incredible time. The property is situated in a dream location right on the beach. The winner is the enormous windows that look out over the sea. A cup of coffee in the morning with a view like that is good for the soul!! It was paradise for the dog. We walked to reculver one day and whistable the next, both have excellent paths alRead moreong the shoreline. Its about a 10min walk into Herne bay where there are a few lovely pubs. We will definitely be back! Hide
