A really good house with an attractive layout. Everything we needed was provided and the house was clean and well looked after. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the balcony overlooking the square and the tennis courts. The back garden with its big table was ideal for a large party.
The house was exactly as described and very well equipped for the number of people in our party. The accommodation was very comfortable and perfect for all ages in our group. The host Deanna was very attentive and gave suggestions for activities while we were there, she couldn't have been more helpful. Overall we had a fabulous week and would recommend this house and host!

Lovely house & stay
House is exactly as described, very clean & had a warm homely feeling. Lovely furnishings and more than big enough for 11 adults, 2 toddlers & a dog! We all had a great weekend at Latimer House and it’s in a great location for the beach.

Thankyou. We really enjoyed having you. We are really pleased you all enjoyed yourselves. You were great guests and are welcome back any time.
This house was great for our family Easter holiday with 13 people and 2 dogs! We were lucky to have glorious weather as there was so much to do, lovely walks to broad stairs, paddle boarding in the sea and lots of playing in the sand. If you’re a big group and this house is available then book it, you won’t be disappointed!
Highly recommend and will go back! Fantastic stay in a gorgeous house and our host Deanna was wonderful and handled lost keys and found keys with great calm and so easy to communicate with! Very clear check in and check out and fully equipped kitchen for cooking full Christmas dinner for 12! Loads of fridges and ovens made life so much easier. Excellent pubs and eating super close!
Had a great time in this lovely home with beautiful sun-spot garden. Short walk into Ramsgate. Plenty of room for all of us and Deanna was great with plenty of contact and information. Would definitely return.

Great house, perfect location
Me and a group of friends stayed here for a weekend of RnR by the sea. The house is great, great space for entertaining, comfortable and ideal location within walking distance of the sea front and town centre which offers an array of pubs and restaurants. Short drive from the station.
Deanna was very helpful with suggestions of things to do and very easily contactable to arrange checkouts and arrival etc.

About the host
Hosted by deanna panzetta
I'm a freelance producer who chose to buy a holiday let as a fun business 19 years ago and because I love Ramsgate (I used to holiday here as a child) the great beaches and wonderful architecture, lots of lovely restaurants in walking distance, something for everyone. The light is great for painting or photography,
Why they chose this property
Bigger than I meant to get but I fell in love with it the moment I walked in and such a fantastic location. Wonderful big space to spend with those you care about and great location. Fabulous location.
What makes this property unique
Lots of space and plenty of privacy. Lots to do nearby so no one gets bored. The basement apartment has a separate entrance, ideal for someone wanting a bit of privacy. Note steep stairs at top of house so not good for people with walking difficulties but we have many families of 3 generations as well as endless gatherings of friends, birthday celebrations, classy hen dos, get togethers, retreats and getaways
