About this house rental

This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom spacious fishermans cottage is formerly half of The Sovereign public house, in pretty Victoria Street. It is situated in the heart of the conservation area of Whitstable and a minutes walk to the shops.
The Sovereign pub was originally a Georgian dwelling house with stables, outhouses and small orchard at the rear. It became a beer-house in 1835. The property was called The Sovereign after the currency unit of the time.

You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!

The terraced cottage is situated in a quiet residential area, extremely close to Harbour street, with lots of boutique shops and a vast variety of restaurants to suit all pallets. The beachfront and harbour is within walking distance to taste the exquisite sea food Whitstable has to offer.

You have access to all areas in the property.

The Sovereign was the last public house of that name in Kent to be converted back to private use and it became two cottages in 2003. This comfortable, welcoming cottage, traditionally brick built with a pretty slate roof, is cosy in winter and cool and airy in summer. It has a twin attic room and an en-suite double bedroom, a large family bathroom, a fully equipped modern kitchen and a long living room (with double sofa bed) and dining room plus a high chair. The pretty sunny garden, sheltered aspect makes it a delightful place for alfresco dining with a BBQ area or just simply relaxing in the sun.

This family home is perfect for parking up the car in the rear parking space, strolling for a couple of minutes to the beach, rolling up your trousers and dipping your feet in the cool waters or skimming stones between the groins. Before reaching the shore you will pass through the town with its beautiful shops, tempting eateries and many bars. Enjoy a gentle bike ride along the promenade towards Tankerton's life-guarded beach and stop off to walk the mile street at low tide.

As well as 1 rear off road parking space, there is free street parking on the road and surrounding roads. The nearest paid parking is Victoria Street car park. You can view the charges on the Canterbury City Council website. Parking can be limited in the high season but once you have parked up, you are close enough to walk into town, beach, shops etc.
You can also visit the 'Just Park' website to find out where to park in Whitstable.

There are frequent buses running from Whitstable to Herne Bay and Canterbury area's. The trains from Whitstable station will take you to Ramsgate or further afield to London. There are also Taxi services available for short fares or airport runs. The nearest airport is in London and the Ferry port is in Dover.

The location, equipment in the cottage, cleanliness and backup from the property manager were all excellent. The garden is lovely, and we were able to hang laundry on the outdoor line to dry, which helped to make up for the lack of a clothes dryer in the cottage. The only substantial negative was the very uncomfortable beds. There were a few other small problems, including that the lockbox for the keys was difficult to use, but overall we recommend Victoria Cottage, and we would stay there again.

We had a lovely week in Whistable staying at this property. Beds were comfortable and the property was lovely and clean. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The car parking space was perfect for us and it was a great bonus as parking is difficult on surrounding streets and public car parks. The court yard garden was lovely and peaceful. We were close to the Main Street for all the local independent food and shopping. The butcher’s, Alan R Long, was excellent value for money and really delicious meat for our BBQ’s. The beach was close by for us to go crabbing and relax in the sunshine. We enjoyed the walk out to Tankerton and back.Our day out to Chatham Historic Navel museum was expensive, but worth the visit. Ice cream opportunities were plentiful throughout Whistable and the return walk from Tankerton.

Excellent location within 5 minute walk of sea, shops and fantastic restaurants. Well appointed house, well stocked on arrival, lovely garden, perfect in every way for 2 couples out and about. We loved Whitstable. Wonderful hot weather was a bonus.A noisy dawn chorus from seagulls!!

The property was in a great location and was ideal for our needs with a lovely outside area that gets the sun for breakfast and an evening drink. It was spotlessly clean and the wine and nibbles were much appreciated. The only slight downside is I don't think the size of the parking space was highlighted enough as it is only suitable for quite a small car. We were lucky as the neighbours were not there for our stay so we could use it.. Having said that, I would thoroughly recomend the property. We have stayed in quite a few holiday properties and this would definitely be in the best 3. G & C - STAMFORD
