Stylishly updated period cottage, providing chic accommodation for up to six guests, situated at the heart of the popular seaside town of Whitstable, just a short walk from the beach.

Set in the thriving seaside town of Whitstable, this stylish cottage makes a light, attractive and inviting retreat for a family or a group of friends seeking a cosy getaway. Within 0.5 miles of the beach, harbour and castle, this traditional terraced cottage has been imaginatively updated and furnished and makes a wonderful base for exploring this tranquil part of the Kent coast. The cottage is also ideally situated for exploring the town centre, with its fantastic range of shops, boutiques and art galleries, as well as its wonderful restaurants, cafes and pubs, many specialising in fresh seafood brought in via the harbour.

Entering the property, you will find the light-filled open-plan lounge/diner which is an elegant space ideal for relaxation at the end of a wonderful day and features plenty of seating, a Smart TV, Blu-ray, iPod dock and an open fire. The sleek and stylish galley kitchen makes preparing meals a pleasure. There are three charming bedrooms on the first floor, which is reached via open-tread stairs: two comfortable king-size rooms and a restful double room. French doors lead outside, where you can relax in the beautifully designed back garden which is set mainly to shingle and has a delightful seaside theme, with garden furniture, festoon lighting and a BBQ, so you can unwind on a warm summer’s evening.

Whitstable features a beautiful shingle beach, a quaint harbour and an 18th-century castle and the town holds a regular Oyster Festival to celebrate the popular local delicacy. You can take breathtaking coastal walks to Tankerton (1 mile) and Seasalter (2 miles), and there are plenty of activities to try including a range of water sports. You can also visit the cathedral city of Canterbury (7 miles), the delightful town of Herne Bay (5.5 miles) or the traditional seaside town of Margate (19 miles).

Two of the upstairs bedrooms lead in to one another so there is no privacy and it's a long way to the one toilet. Otherwise fine, clean and a great location.

The house is lovely, with great decor and really comfy beds. The smell of dogs though is too strong - we love dogs but I wouldn't let other dogs stay if its going to impact on the enjoyment of others using the house.
