6 Gloster Terrace

We had a lovely one week family holiday with our three young adult children.

The accommodation suited our needs very well. I particularly enjoyed the first floor sitting room with great sea views. All of the books and a piano really added to the atmosphere. The main issue we had was just the one key for the front door. You cannot exit the property without a key, so if someone wishes to stay in the house then they have to lock others out. One of our party wanted to catch up on sleep, so stayed behind, but they sleep very soundly so didn’t wake them up. There is no door bell. A second key would have been a big help. Sykes emergency number didn’t get back to us for nearly an hour. The on road parking was tricky over the bank holiday weekend when we arrived, but easier to find a space later in the week. EV charging just a 5 minute walk away was a bonus.

Gorgeous house & location.

Spent many hours looking at the sea. Would love to visit again

Lovely home from home, spacious enough for 6 adults to easily find space on their own but comfortably fit all 6 together around the dining table and in the living room.

There is free parking outside but it may be tricky in busy periods. Having the beach just across the road was wonderful, no need to drive anywhere. The house is perfectly located to walk to Hythe (we recommend a circular walk, one way along the coast and another via the military canal) and Folkestone. All in all a perfect holiday.

We had a great week at Gloster Terrace, three generations of our family and one dog, had plenty of room to relax and spend time together.

The kitchen is very well equipped and we had some lovely meals around the large table. The views out of the front windows are fantastic and the beach was great for catching crabs and shrimps at low tide. It is easy to walk to Folkstone and Hythe.

Gloster Terrace was great 2nd time staying.

We swam in the sea and listened to music every day. Enough space for all of us to have our space or come together to relax. I liked that we could sit in the garden this year as the shrubs had been cut. Nice for members of the family who want to be by the sea but not able to walk on the stones. Very well equipped house. Our dog Lionel loves it here too. We hope to be back next year. Thank you again for using your home to make great memories.

We had a fantastic week at Gloster Terrace, swimming in the sea most days.

A true home from home for us as we also live by the sea. Well equipped kitchen, missing nothing for cooking from scratch. Plenty of cutlery & crockery. Huge fridge freezer. The bath was perfect and over bath shower very powerful. Wonderful stay had by all. We'll definitely return

Excellent property.

Large, homely rooms, very comfortable. All the necessary fixtures are available.....dishwasher, washing machine...etc... Great views over the sea from all of the front rooms. Easy road parking. Perfectly placed for walking into Sandgate, or 40 minutes walk to Hythe, or 50 minutes into Folkestone...all by the beach. The amazing bus service is on the doorstep, and we used the buses a lot. Can't really think of anything that we didn't like about 6 Gloster, the perfect place to spend a relaxing week.

Nice home but lots of stairs so no good if mobility is poor, no garden we missed not having a garden, we thought there was a small outside space to use.

House could do with a update,

This was an amazing property and was well equipped with everything we needed as a family of 4.

Our stay was very enjoyable and comfortable. There were lots of stairs inside this property which I personally did not mind but if you are elderly or disabled, this may be a difficult stay. The property was also on a very busy main road, so be careful if you have little ones. There is parking along a very long strip and we were always able to park. The beach is lovely which was great as there was not really a garden as such (small courtyard). The shops are an 8 minute pleasant walk or just 6 minutes drive to a supermarket. The neighbours were all friendly as were the local people we met. There was an array of books and cds/vinyls to entertain yourself during your stay. The kitchen is big and has everything you need. We were able to put the slow cooker on and even bake cakes and pies. There's a lovely dining area to enjoy a meal together and catch up on your day. The double beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. There are 3 toilets, so no waiting. Showers are perfect (2) and there is a lovely big bath too. Our dog loved his stay too as we had many lovely walks along the walkway by the beach. He was not allowed on the beach which is fine by us, we drove to Winchelsea beach where he was able to run around. This was a perfect holiday for us and we will definitely be back.

Lovely property with everything needed for a great holiday.

Beautiful location right on the sea front.

Just spent a week at 6 Gloster Terrace,Sandgate,Kent.

All the bedding and towels were very clean and the beds comfy. There is everything you need for your stay and the view at the front is splendid. However a number of things need updating/replacing. 1st floor double- bed-light hanging off the bedhead and very rusty radiator top (we did not use this bedroom). Kitchen-the kettle needs replacing, it leaks and is full of limescale, the socket on the wall where the kettle was plugged in, will not turn off. The sink looks new, but the worktop at the back is thick with black mould. The splashback round the cooker is coming away from the wall. The shower room on ground floor-Shower head needs replacing as it doesn’t spray properly. Mirror over sink is loose and may fall off(the top clamps are loose). I have reported all these issues to Sykes Cottages!

No 6 is a spacious house, where all rooms are well proportioned and provide ample storage space.

The sitting room on the first floor was my favourite, filled with books, records, videos, CD’s and a cracking sea view. It’s drawbacks are: a) lack of a mobile signal (O2) which was a real pain, b) my laptop security software flagged the internet connection as having a very weak and vulnerable password (which meant I was nervous of doing any financial transactions for our stay, c) the dining area floor is wood and the chairs much too heavy, large and hard and need cushions, d) there is nowhere to sit outside, the so-called courtyard has no table and chairs and in any case is pretty uninviting, d) a house for seven would ideally have more than one bathroom, e) the house needs a freshen up, with paint peeling and cupboards smelling musty, f) no hair dryer and no body length mirrors near a power point to use a hair dryer, g) bath towels were too small and did not dry properly and lastly h) the road outside is extremely busy and it certainly wouldn’t be possible to let children cross the road to the beach on their own.

Thanks for a great stay!

This is a wonderful property and was perfect for our family of 5 - a post-covid reunion of adult kids living in London and parents who flew in from Australia. We loved how spacious, comfortable and welcoming it feels - wonderful selection of books add character and the piano! Everything was beautifully clean and ready for us to enjoy. Stunning views, the beach was ideal, great kitchen too. Plenty of walks up and down the coast, local pubs were fun, and it was the perfect home for peaceful nights and sunny days together. Hope to go back again! Thanks for sharing your home.
