Cosy Fisherman’s Cottage, minutes from High Street, Harbour & Beach

You will fall in love with our house due to its prime location being moments away from Whitstable's main shopping street with everything you need from art galleries, stylish clothes and food shops, restaurants and bars. In addition you have the beach and harbour just a few minutes' walk away, with its boats, colourful beach huts and oyster shells. The house is an ideal choice for all generations.

White Cottage was renovated extensively, converting what was a dark and cramped Victorian two-up two-down former fisherman's house in to an open plan, bright, stylish and comfortable holiday home.

Making it both, the perfect summer bolt hole, being able to sit in the secluded sun drenched garden or winter getaway with a cosy log burner to take the chill off after a walk along the beach.

The accommodation consists of a through lounge/dining area with wood burning stove and Sonos sound system, a galley style kitchen, guest toilet/utility room, and garden with outside dining. Upstairs on the 1st floor are the master Kingsize bedroom and a stunning marble master bathroom. The loft room has been converted to a spacious twin bedroom.

PLEASE NOTE the loft room is accessed via a steep original staircase and so we do not recommend for young children or people with mobility issues.

Fabulous Spot in the Nicest Seaside Town

Such a great location with everything you need. So close to downtown and the sea. It was key to have laundry and a bath and a half and a fireplace to make for a perfect stay. Highly recommend!

Gem of a place

We fell in love with Whitstable and the cottage. It looks exactly like the pictures. The owners have renovated this beautiful cottage to a great standard. The log burner was perfect to come back to after an autumnal walk a long the beach. The location is faultless, you are so close to lots of great restaurants and shops as well as the beach and harbour.

Fabulous cosy cottage

We had a lovely few days in this gorgeous cottage. Everything was as described, spotlessly clean and we loved the log fire. It was very conveniently located close to the marina and all the shops and restaurant. The owner. Ric, was super helpful and gave us loads of suggestions about where to go and what to do. We will definitely be coming back.

A wonderful Mini Break!

Thank you providing a wonderful house and amenities. The property was better than a hotel with classic and modern decor combined throughout. From fluffy towels and comfy beds to first class kitchen facilities. The garden was well used by us sitting sharing wine and stories. Thank you Ric for making our stay so easy. Property is perfect for a stay in Whitstable only a very short walk to the best restaurants - Birdies and Wheelers!

Really lovely cottage

We had a great holiday, cottage couldn’t be more convenient for harbour; shops and beach. Did not need to use the car at all. We found parking easy, but very narrow road. Pub opposite was a bit noisy but the double glazing was super and we were not disturbed. Really helpful owner. Would recommend.

Great Location - Great Place To Stay - Super Clean

The transaction from start to finish was super smooth, from checking in to checking out. Also enjoyed the bedrooms were on the upper floors and the livingroom and kitchen on the lower floor. Another BIG PLUS is the washer/dryer and extra toilet - Yes this place has 2 toilets which works out perfect for two adults! The firesplace was enjoyed on the cool nights and the outside yard was equally nice with a nice bottle of wine! Greatly enjoyed staying at this beautiful flat and we will be returning. Thank you Ric!
