Situated within 0.5 miles of both Whitstable’s pretty beach and working harbour, this delightful end-of-terrace cottage makes a lovely getaway for a family or a small group of friends. Set over three storeys this charming period property retains original features including exposed brickwork and a wood burner, and has been lovingly updated to offer bright, spacious and cosy accommodation within easy reach of the town’s many fantastic independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs.

Lovely cottage with lots of great touches, shower and soap dispensers etc. We had a fantastic time right in the heart of Whitstable. We would thoroughly reccomend this cottage but very steep stairs to the top floor would not be suitable for young children or the elderly

A lovely, cosy cottage in an excellent location with the added bonus of a parking space. You need to be aware that the stairs leading up the the twin room on the 2nd floor have very little headroom. It's fine once you're up there but our 6ft 4in son had to come down in reverse (like a ladder) as it was too low.

A lovely cottage and very well located, within easy walking to the main street and harbour. We knew about accessing the twin room through another bedroom but for an adult, lack of hanging space and mirror in that room was inconvenient. But otherwise it was charming, comfortable and well equipped. We had a lovely time.
