Excellent break in a quiet area at a cottage with excellent facilities. Louise keeps the place ship shape and ensures you have all you need. There are plenty of good quality restaurants and places for breakfast in nearby Broadstairs.
Excellent location and presentation Very clean and welcoming .Perhaps downstairs bathroom off kitchen not ideal Ok for the two of us but awkward for two couples Also quite a trek during night if elderly or disabled in any way. However overall well worth another visit
AMAZING! Us and the dogs had the best time. We can't wait to visit again. A perfect location with easy access to Broadstairs and the surrounding areas. Louise was such a lovely host as well. All the attention to the detail in the accommodatoin was outstanding.
This was the 5th year we’ve stayed at this lovely location. Property is lovely throughout with everything you need in good working order. The privacy of the enclosed grounds around the lighthouse make it a lovely quiet place to stay. Easy access to the coast and beaches in the area. Close to various seaside towns with all that they offer. A good base for visiting other attractions in East Kent. I’ve already placed a provisional booking again for next year.
5 years staying at Lodesman Cottage is a great recommendation. Thank you so much.
Very clean, newly refurbished, extremely well equipped. Excellent location for Joss Bay beach. Very nice welcome bag. Huge outside area around cottage lovely sea views. Children aged 7 and 11 loved it. Would definitely return and keen to try other lighthouses. Very good communication from Housekeeper. Yea
Thank you. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Lodesman Cottage.
Clean and well equipped cottage. Great location for walks along the beach. Both Margate and Broadstairs have plenty of really good restaurants and coffee shops. We took a 4 night midweek stay in November, and fortunately the weather was good. Cottage has a drier if you do get wet walking. Booked up to return again.
Einfach alles perfekt - mehr geht nicht!
Translation - Everything is just perfect - nothing more is possible!
This is a lovely cottage, decorated to a high standard throughout. So peaceful and secluded within the fenced-off grounds of the North Foreland lighthouse. This was our 4th year of staying in the property and I’ve already booked for a 5th time next year.
Disappointing welcome basket. Particularly as previous comments in log book eulogised about theirs. Contained minimal goods half of which we don't use and left behind and no bread. Used to be there was sufficient for supper and breakfast first day.
Unique property in a wonderful and quiet location but within easy walking distance of the centre of Broadstairs. Well-equipped, well-maintained and comfortable.
Third time I’ve stayed at this lovely and unusual property. Smashing location that manages to feel slightly rural whilst still being on the edge of town. The property is in great condition, always very clean with all the things you need provided. Having access to the large grounds surrounding the lighthouse ( shared with those renting the other cottage ) is brilliant, meaning it’s very quiet and secluded as some distance from nearest road / footpath.
Toujours aussi agréable de retourner dans cet hébergement de qualité à quelques pas de la plage et du chemin côtier. La responsable du logement est très efficace et disponible.
Excellent property. Ideal for young children to play safely. Facilities ideal. Property was spotless.
We had a lovely time! The cottage is equipped with absolutely everything a person may need during the stay and the check-in instructions are as clear as can be. It is a sort of place you regret you have to leave in a few days!
Lovely clean cosy cottage in great location. Welcome pack superb
Great property and location
A very attractive property, very clean and a super hamper. Louise , the housekeeper, was very helpful. We would visit again xxxx
had a great time lovely location and cottage

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
