About this property

The Salty Mermaid is a two bedroomed fisherman's cottage

The Salty Mermaid is a two bedroomed fisherman's cottage, nestled in the heart of Whitstable's conservation area, just a stones throw away from the beach and town.
The space
On entering, you’ll find an open plan living/dining room with a log burner, Smart 48” screen TV, freesat, Netflix and DVD player. Should you wish to spend a quiet night in, there’s a choice of books, magazines, DVDs and games. You’ll find the cottage full of artwork created by local artists, some of whom may well be hosting an exhibition in one of the galleries during your stay.
For those long, lazy beach days, we’ve added a wicker picnic basket with plates, glasses and cutlery, along with a picnic table and stools. Just pick up some refreshments from one of the many shops and cafes on your way to the beach and you’re good to go!
Our fully equipped kitchen has a duel fuel oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee maker. For your convenience on arrival, there’s complimentary teabags, coffee pods, sugar and milk.
There’s a washing machine stored in the utility area which leads to the downstairs bathroom. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all supplied.
The two bedrooms have double beds, luxury bedding and good wardrobe space. Each room has a hairdryer, large mirror and USB charging points.

Spacious well-situated property.

The Salty Mermaid is a bright, clean two storey house, equipped with everything you need for a short stay at any time of year. The downstairs area felt very spacious and there are lots of books and games for those staying with families. It’s very close to all the shops. Worth noting that the bathroom is on the ground floor, for those who may need to go to the loo in the night !

Good

A nice property in good location, tv a bit dodgy and web site says 11am check out but host says 10am ? That needs changing. But over all a good stay, i would stay again.
