This characterful property is ideally suited for couples or families to enjoy a seaside retreat. It offers comfortable accommodation with easy access to the high street, beach and harbour.

Set in the heart of the pretty seaside town of Whitstable, this charming Victorian cottage has been imaginatively updated and elegantly decorated to provide characterful accommodation for a family or a small group of friends. Within a mile of all the town’s attractions, this spacious and tastefully furnished property makes a lovely coastal retreat and is a great base for exploring the Kent Downs (10 miles), Canterbury (7 miles) and Herne Bay (5.5 miles).

On entering this stylish property you will find the delightful lounge/diner. This attractive and tastefully furnished space is perfect for relaxing in, with plenty of seating so you can curl up in front of the open fire and enjoy a good book or a movie. The dining area is perfect for enjoying a favourite family meal, which you can prepare in the elegant bespoke kitchen. There are three cosy bedrooms on the first floor: one king-size, a king-size with a Four-poster bed and views over the cricket ground, and a bunk bedroom. French doors lead from the dining area and out into the fully enclosed garden which features a decked area furnished with plenty of garden furniture so you can enjoy a BBQ or a morning coffee. There’s also a lawn perfect for children to play on.

A fantastic seaside town with plenty to offer families, Whitstable is known for its delicious fresh seafood and is home to a regular Oyster Festival. You can visit the castle, harbour and beach, and there are plenty of independent shops, boutiques and art galleries to discover, as well as a range of great places to eat and drink. You can explore the beautiful seafront and visit the nearby coastal towns and villages of Tankerton, Seasalter (both 1.5 miles) and Herne Bay, or you can head inland to the historic city of Canterbury.

My second visit to Samphire Cottage which proved to be as attractive and comfortable as I remembered. I love the in vogue industrial style decor and the delightful garden, with its large garden table, provides opportunities to dine out in style. The cottage is conveniently situated for trips into Whitstable with its traditional charm. The path whicRead moreh winds its way along the beach, past the working harbour beach and weather board cottages is idyllic. I am already dreaming of my third visit. Hide

Really convenient location in Whitstable, easy walk down to the harbour. Lovely garden, which our grandchildren enjoyed. Great bakery nearby for breakfast treats. Nice pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

A beautiful, stylish cottage decorated in a chic and highly original manner. The lounge was a delightful space to relax in during the evenings and the kitchen equipped with a wide variety of utensils.

The cottage was within a short walking distance of Whitstable which is so historic and picturesque. Easy access to Broadstairs too. Hide

Nicely decorated cottage, comfortable beds and great quality bedlinen and towels. Very close to whitstable centre and coast. Manageable parking around the area Welcome pack appreciated Kitchen accessories need attention, a better selection of plates, frying pans especially if cooking is your thing.

My family & I had a great time in Whitstable. The cottage was lovely, lots of old worldly charm retaining the character of the property, whilst accommodating the needs of a family with teenagers. The garden was great as our dog could roam around safely. The location was fabulous, with a 10 minute walk to the beach & less than 5 minutes into the HigRead moreh Street. Unfortunately we did not have use of the washing machine during our stay, however the owners kindly recompensed us for the inconvenience. Hide
