A lovely cottage in a great location very near the high street. Well equipped kitchen . Great bedrooms and bathrooms one with bath. Very comfortable beds plenty of wardrobe space in bedroom one and hanging space in bedroom two. Visited New Year so didnt use the outside space. Really good choice of local restaurants and places to visit ( Margate , DRead moreeal) as well as all the local walks by the sea. As always in Whitestable parking is an issue even in January. Street parking limited near property. Hide

Lovely cottage. Very handy for the High Street and the Harbour. Autumn was just arriving, the cottage was cosy. The beds were the most comfortable ever! Lovely cotton bed linen, pillows that werent made of foam or rubber and the mattress was good quality . Parking can be a little tricky but we did manage to park for free nearby every day.

We had a lovely week at Arbour House, especially enjoying the under floor heating! Its very well equipped and geared up for dogs but the holiday ad didnt mention no dogs upstairs so I had to sleep downstairs with him and missed out on the amazing beds upstairs(my hubby words) Its a few minutes away from the lovely town and beach but be aware, thereRead more is no parking outside the property you have to park in the public carpark next to the house, we spent 153 during the week!

Everything in the cottage is done to a very high standard- the owners stay there themselves so nothing is second rate and there is an abundance of equipment. You are 30 seconds away from the high street and three minutes from the beach and it is quiet. Landlady very obliging.

Fabulous place to stay. Stairs are rather steep as this is a period property and they are painted rather than carpeted. No real fire sadly but a good electric version. Very comfy beds and Sally is amazing.
