We enjoyed our stay in this extremely clean 3 bedroom property. The seaside was a few minutes away and the town was lovely. The people there are welcoming andbit was exactly what we expected it to be: a home away from home. The owner was extremely helpful. We travelled to other beaches nearby- Broadstairs being our favourite. Good times!

Spent 3 days visiting family. House was in great location within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Parking wasn't the easiest and don't bring a big car as street very narrow. Loved our first time in Whitstable, will be back

This beautiful cottage leaves no wish unfulfilled. we had a wonderful vacation for two weeks in Whitstable.The cottage is cloth to the beach, the town and the harbour. A spezial service was the changing of the bed linen and towels after one week. We‘ve never had such a service on holidays since yet.

The house is beautiful, exactly as pictured and very comfortable. The location is perfect and easy walking distance to all the best parts of town. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit.

Perfect location
Perfect house for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Bedroom sizes were perfect. Lounge and kitchen area great sizes, lovely and clean. Perfect location. Parking in the road a bit tight but we found a space around the corner so no problem. Whitstable is a lovely seaside town, if you’re coming to stay would recommend this house.

Gorgeous cottage. Perfect location
Cottage was lovely, spacious and clean. Our party was 5 adults who were celebrating our mother/mother-in-law's 80th birthday.
The beds were comfortable, plenty of seating in the living room and the kitchen. Will definitely try to book here again if we are planning another break in Whitstable.

Lovely cottage in a great location
The cottage is in a great location for exploring Whitstable, the coast and surrounding countryside. It is very well equipped with everything we needed; kitchen utensils, crockery, baking and cooking equipment, tea, coffee etc, a good quantity of tea towels, a dish washer with tablets and even a fire set up in the hearth! It is also beautifully decorated, clean, the beds are comfortable and the towels are soft. We were very lucky with the weather over the October half term and the parking near the house was good. On top for all this, we were able to charge our car not far from the house in Cromwell Road. We were very happy with our choice of holiday cottage!

Lovely house, lovely location
The process of booking the house was very straightforward. We had to cancel our first booking at very short notice because of self isolating and were delighted to be allowed to move it to another date. We really appreciated that. The house is lovely and has everything you need. We appreciated the milk, flowers and prosecco and all the other things in the cupboards. It's in a lovely location.

Old girls long weekend.
This is a lovely cottage in the heart of Whitstable. Spacious, clean, comfortable and surprisingly quiet given that it’s just a few minutes walk from the harbour and high street. On street parking is an issue as the road is narrow and there were no spaces anywhere when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon. It is however just a short walk from the large Gorrell Tank public car park.
Overall a great place to stay!

Charming and centrally located
The cottage is very centrally located, just a short walk from the high street and the seafront. The house is well equipped and the rooms are comfortable and quiet. Lots of free parking around the house though streets are narrow and parking a large car is a little challenging. The contactless check in was super easy and Susan the owner has been very prompt and helpful with any enquiries. For us this was a great escape filled with lots of walks and great local food. We had a wonderful time.

Absolutely delightful
The property was very clean, nicely furnished and very well equipped. The beds were very comfy.There was an outside table which was very sunny. It was very central and you could easily walk to the harbour and beach areas. The only down side which wasn't too much of an issue ,was the parking ,but all of whitstable is like this ,as all the houses in the central area do not have garages. We were always able to find somewhere to park close by. We had a lovely holiday despite the iffy weather. Thankyou

Short Stay in Whitstable
House was in excellent condition and exactly as described. Parking was very challenging and frustrating and was not helped by the fact our car was hit by an ambulance an hour after we arrived - luckily we heard the bang and the ambulance driver stopped!

Lovely Whitstable escape
We really appreciated finding this cottage so beautifully clean and welcoming. The extra little essentials that were provided helped to make our stay go smoothly. It was also very reassuring to know that the owners are taking extra measures to keep the cottage "covid-safe". The location is perfect. Just a stone's throw from the centre of town and the seafront. Such a refreshing post-lockdown break in a beautiful seaside town.

Bay Cottage
A delightful house, renovated to a high standard. Everything that you could need has been thought of and the cleanliness was spot on! (My husband's words). The house is ideally situated and because parking is tight, once the car is parked, there is no need to use it, the harbour, shops, restaurants, all on your doorstep! Perfect.

Toplocatie
Het is een heerlijk huisje om met ons gezin een week vakantie te houden. Genoeg dingen te doen in de buurt om je bezig te houden.
Canterbury Cathedral, White Cliffs of Dover, Dover Castle echt een aanrader, wildpark etc. Leuk dorpje met restaurants en shops, vlakbij het strand en haventje. Top vakantie.
