Such a lovely stay at dover cottage, location was great an easy walk down to the seafront. Beds were comfy, property nice and airy. Weather was not great so didn't get a chance to eat outside on the garden furniture but a lovely front garden. Was nice to have a big TV for lazy evenings. Altogether a great stay, I was suggest best for people with dogs and not without dogs like us. Only issue was the dog smell.
