We were basically looking for a one night stay, and in this respect the accommodation suited our needs.
Ed, our host, was sociable and accommodating with tea on arrival on Friday afternoon and a very pleasant continental breakfast in the morning.
Ed's cottage is 90 years old, somewhat rustic, and eclectically decorated in her own style and full of interesting collectibles and memorabilia. It is also on the Thames coast road, just metres from the sea, and enjoys wonderful views.
Our stay was certainly enhanced by Ed's friendly and generous personality. The bedroom was cute and the bed very comfortable, but showering facilities were rather basic.
The only other issue was that, being right by the Thames coast road, we were woken very early on the Saturday morning by persistent noisy road traffic.
