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!

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!

Charming and centrally located
The cottage is very centrally located, just a short walk from the high street and the seafront. The house is well equipped and the rooms are comfortable and quiet. Lots of free parking around the house though streets are narrow and parking a large car is a little challenging. The contactless check in was super easy and Susan the owner has been very prompt and helpful with any enquiries. For us this was a great escape filled with lots of walks and great local food. We had a wonderful time.
