Reviews

Umballa is a beautiful, comfortable, friendly house in a lovely location right on the sea front. Easy walk into Herne Bay and, if you want to walk further, Whitstable and Reculver. Perfect place for a relaxing, recharging holiday.

Mrs W,

Very good location, the winter rate was very good value for money. House was very clean on arrival and had everything we needed.

Mrs G,

A beautiful cottage by the sea with a lovely view and just short walk to the pier attractions. The place was prepared for arrival with hot drink necessities and fresh flowers. Will definitely return!

Mr M,

A comfortable house in a lovely location. The housekeeper was really helpful and information about our stay from Original Cottages was very good.

Mrs Deborah S,
