We had a lovely time. Easy process from start to finish even when we needed to change the dates. The house was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The proximity to the village and beach front was a huge bonus. Would recommend.

The place was really clean and little things like extra towels for the beach were included. We didn’t use these but it was a really nice gesture. The Cottage is in a perfect location to get to the beach Harbour and the middle of the High Street and yet you feel as if you are not in the thick of it. We had a great time old friends catching up. Would definitely recommend and would go again.

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.

Family get together

Spent 3 days visiting family. House was in great location within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Parking wasn't the easiest and don't bring a big car as street very narrow. Loved our first time in Whitstable, will be back

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.

A very lovely, well looked after home from home. The bathroom seemed to be recently refurbished, with a good shower. The kitchen is very well equipped, with everything one would need including, much to my delight, a caffitere. There is a nice outside space to eat outside if the weather is good, we had a leisurely breakfast in the garden. It is in easy reach of Whitstable Town and the beach. The only down side is that it is on very narrow road with cars parked on both sides making it difficult for other cars to drive down. My car was parked for three days, during that time, someone had hit my car scratching and denting the rear wing. A bad ending to an otherwise good experience. Consider taking the train or find somewhere else to park!

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!

Charming, well-equipped cottage, we loved it.

This is a charming, well, equipped, modernly furnished cottage, in a very convenient location for exploring Whitstable. We found the owner to be very easy to work with and accommodating. We will book here again on future trips.

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.
