Great location. Wi-Fi. Lack of privacy due to access to the upstairs flat is via a gate directly in front of the kitchen window. The bedrooms are upstairs and the lavatory is downstairs.

Great location to explore Whitstable and Canterbury - Just steps from Whitstable high street and the beach & harbour and regular buses to Canterbury. Great boutique shops and plenty of pubs & restaurants on the high street. Obviously LOTS of sea food! Paid car park opposite but otherwise parking a nightmare so once you find a space on the street leRead moreave the car there and walk or bus it around. Information in house was good. We had a minor plumbing issue but the owners responded and sorted it out at the first opportunity. Hide

The house is lovely. Perfect for a relaxing time in a lovely town. On a quiet street but only a minutes walk to the high street so ideal location.

Beautiful cottage. Perfect for us and the dog. Lots of local dog friendly pubs, beach is very near and some lovely local cheese and seafood in the town. Great stay. We did manage to park outside but there was car parks nearby if off season these are not too busy at all.
