Fantastic stay

We stayed here as a base for visiting elderly parent. I grew up in Whitstable yet is was such a treat to stay in this quaint part of town. The house is beautiful, exactly as pictured and very comfortable. The location is perfect and easy walking distance to all the best parts of town. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit.

Relaxing

We enjoyed our stay in this extremely clean 3 bedroom property. The seaside was a few minutes away and the town was lovely. The people there are welcoming andbit was exactly what we expected it to be: a home away from home. The owner was extremely helpful. We travelled to other beaches nearby- Broadstairs being our favourite. Good times!

a wonderful vacation

This beautiful cottage leaves no wish unfulfilled. we had a wonderful vacation for two weeks in Whitstable.The cottage is cloth to the beach, the town and the harbour. A spezial service was the changing of the bed linen and towels after one week. We‘ve never had such a service on holidays since yet.

Perfekt für einen Urlaub in Kent

Das Haus im schönen Küstenort Whitstable ist wirklich toll: Es liegt ruhig, aber nur 5 Gehminuten von der Shoppingstraße bzw 10 Minuten vom Hafen entfernt. Man findet auf jeden Fall einen Parkplatz in der Nähe. Es ist super ausgestattet (in der Küche gibt es alles zum Putzen, Öl, Gewürze, Trockentücher etc, neben normalen Handtüchern gibt es auch Strandtücher). Es gibt 2 Schlafzimmer für Erwachsene und ein Kinderzimmer. Die Räume sind verhältnismäßig groß, schön eingerichtet und die Betten bequem. Einzig die beiden Zweiersofas im Wohnzimmer sind etwas durchgesessen. Ein Pluspunkt ist außerdem die kleine Terrasse hinter dem Haus, sehr gemütlich, wenn man nicht ausgehen möchte. Der Kontakt mit Susan war super, sie hat uns im Vorfeld über alles Wichtige informiert und war bei einer Nachfrage schnell erreichbar und total freundlich. Von Whitstable aus kann man mit dem Zug nach London und mit dem Bus nach Canterbury fahren, es wird also nicht langweilig. Es gibt niedliche Geschäfte und empfehlenswerte Restaurants und Pubs. Alles in allem war es ein toller Urlaub, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Perfect location

Perfect house for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Bedroom sizes were perfect. Lounge and kitchen area great sizes, lovely and clean. Perfect location. Parking in the road a bit tight but we found a space around the corner so no problem. Whitstable is a lovely seaside town, if you’re coming to stay would recommend this house.

Gorgeous cottage. Perfect location

Cottage was lovely, spacious and clean. Our party was 5 adults who were celebrating our mother/mother-in-law's 80th birthday. The beds were comfortable, plenty of seating in the living room and the kitchen. Will definitely try to book here again if we are planning another break in Whitstable.

Lovely cottage in a great location

The cottage is in a great location for exploring Whitstable, the coast and surrounding countryside. It is very well equipped with everything we needed; kitchen utensils, crockery, baking and cooking equipment, tea, coffee etc, a good quantity of tea towels, a dish washer with tablets and even a fire set up in the hearth! It is also beautifully decorated, clean, the beds are comfortable and the towels are soft. We were very lucky with the weather over the October half term and the parking near the house was good. On top for all this, we were able to charge our car not far from the house in Cromwell Road. We were very happy with our choice of holiday cottage!

Lovely house, lovely location

The process of booking the house was very straightforward. We had to cancel our first booking at very short notice because of self isolating and were delighted to be allowed to move it to another date. We really appreciated that. The house is lovely and has everything you need. We appreciated the milk, flowers and prosecco and all the other things in the cupboards. It's in a lovely location.

Old girls long weekend.

This is a lovely cottage in the heart of Whitstable. Spacious, clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet given that it’s just a few minutes walk from the harbour and high street. On street parking is an issue as the road is narrow and there were no spaces anywhere when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. It is however just a short walk from the large Gorrell Tank public car park. Overall a great place to stay!
