The Landing

Hythe

A welcoming three-storey seaside townhouse, with free off-street parking, located moments from the high street and a short gentle walk to the military canal. You’ll find the perfect shady spot in summer beside the canal or perhaps enjoy a trip on a rented canoe with an ice cream to hand.
The accommodation is well presented and spacious for families and groups to enjoy, conveniently located for an effortless stay. The ideal retreat after a busy day exploring the historic buildings of this ancient town with a fascinating variety of antiques, art dealers, independent shops, boutiques and traditional tea rooms. Only a short walk away is Hythe’s long stretch of pebble beach, a great place to watch the local fishing boats set out and return from a day at sea. Be sure to bring your camera or your sketch pad as you’ll find plenty of things you want to remember your holiday by.

In the Area

Hythe is one of those places that is a bit of a secret along the Kent coast. Its very name is the "landing place” and historically was a major port on the English Channel. It is also one of the original five Cinque Ports that provided naval support for monarchs and as such the railway and military canal has serviced connections across this corner of the Kent coast over many years. Since those days, the harbour has silted up so it no longer functions as the busy port it once was, but it is a popular seaside town with all sorts of activities and amenities, perfect now for those precious holiday getaways.

Culture and castles can be found here, including a Hythe at Saltwood and Lympne. Saltwood was the ancestral home of Lord Deedes. Port Lympne the wildlife reserve sits beside Lympne Castle. The reserve park is now dedicated to the conservation of endangered species and visitors can take a Safari tour around a huge park and, enjoy experiencing wild animals up close. There are even experiences and a choice of cafes and restaurants on-site to enjoy.

The views across to France are spectacular down at the pebble bay. Hythe is the Northern Terminus of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which runs through Romney Marsh to the wild shingle peninsular that is Dungeness. This miniature railway was set up by Captain Howey and Count Zborowski in 1927 and runs steam trains seasonally and is particularly lovely at Christmas time for all the family.

Hythe is also the starting point of the Royal Military Canal which runs to Winchelsea and was built as a defence against Napoleonic invasion. It now provides a wonderful habitat for all sorts of wildlife including birds, and frogs and with dappling light cascading among the trees, quite the place for a romantic walk. The summer brings life to the canal with the hire of river boats for couples and small families to enjoy - you can also grab a cone on your way via the resident ice cream van. Every other year, the town holds a Venetian Festival on the part of the canal that runs through the centre with amusing floats, music and fireworks making for an entertaining evening.

Another form of defence against Napoleon was 74 Martello Towers constructed between Folkestone and Seaford. Three towers survive in Hythe and one of them is a private house with splendid sea views!

Perfect location 5/5

Perfect location for a lovely break. House was clean and comfortable with well equipped kitchen. Garage is small but luckily my car fitted, so consider this if you are travelling in two cars.

An enjoyable week in Hythe 4.2/5

A great position just off of the high street so handy for shops /.pubs etc . Well presented and in easy walking distance of the seafront. Quite homely and plenty of space. The bathroom needs updating, but saying that , we had a great week ,

Right next to the pub 4.3/5

Already replied to Bloom and told them that the Landing was the very best location ever - right next to the pub!!

Spacious and comfortable 4.7/5

A nice spacious, comfortable and well equipped house in a very central location. Rather disappointed in the bathroom and shower arrangement, I do feel that needs to be updated, but otherwise it is a very good place to stay.

Lovely, comfortable and well-equipped home in a fabulous location for a holiday! 5/5

We booked to stay here at the last minute due to a change in family plans for Christmas, which had to be relocated entirely. The house is lovely and very well-equipped. Although we didn't attempt Christmas dinner here (we were invited over to our son-in-law's parents), we cooked several meals and iced a Christmas cake during our stay - only slightly thwarted/surprised by not being able to find a sieve for the icing sugar - but there were two whisks and a large mixing bowl in the cupboards. We made regular use of the coffee machine. The Landing is only a few steps away from Hythe High Street with lots of interesting shops and bars etcetera. Also there's a convenient Waitrose, and other supermarkets a bit further afield. It was lovely to arrive to a welcome box of chocolates, milk in the fridge, tea and coffee in canisters on the side and a Christmas tree and decorations and the house lovely and warm (too warm actually, I turned down the thermostat - it's a well-insulated house and very cosy!). Also I was delighted to find a 'things to fix things with and spare batteries and lightbulbs' drawer and that cleaning materials and tools weren't all locked away - so if something gets spilled - or something needs a quick fix - everything you need is available to sort it out right away. Although there's a parking space (and a small garage) at the property, our car was too big for the garage, and a tad too long (30cm) for the parking space (it's a VW Sharan), though the neighbours were fine with it. If you come with two cars, if one is small enough you might be able to stow it in the garage with the other one sitting outside in front of the garage. But otherwise, you'll need to pay to park a second car elsewhere. The WiFi works brilliantly, I'm betting fibre to the home (excellent download and upload speeds). The TV is big screen and good resolution, but suffers occasionally from video/sound sync issues - I think potentially because the terrestrial signal is not great - which I'm told by local family is a 'feature' of the area. But if you use the built-in players on the TV, you can watch via the Internet instead, which works perfectly. Refuse and recycling boxes etcetera are in the garage and can easily be wheeled/put out on collection day. There's also food waste recycling bin, which I wish I'd realised earlier (so didn't end up with a smelly kitchen bin), but there wasn't a food waste caddy in the kitchen, and I couldn't find one anywhere else in the house or garage when I looked (sorry!) So overall - delightful home-from-home comforts, plenty of space to chill, and loads to do and see right on your doorstep - we'd happily book again, maybe in the summer for a proper planned visit versus a surprise last-minute change of Christmas plans. (P.S. And thank you for providing 3 keys - having more than one key makes it so much easier when staying in a holiday home with family members who might go out and come in again at different times).
