About this house rental
You will fall in love with our house due to its prime location being moments away from Whitstable's main shopping street with everything you need from art galleries, stylish clothes and food shops, restaurants and bars. In addition you have the beach and harbour just a few minutes' walk away, with its boats, colourful beach huts and oyster shells. The house is an ideal choice for all generations.
White Cottage was renovated extensively, converting what was a dark and cramped Victorian two-up two-down former fisherman's house in to an open plan, bright, stylish and comfortable holiday home.
Making it both, the perfect summer bolt hole, being able to sit in the secluded sun drenched garden or winter getaway with a cosy log burner to take the chill off after a walk along the beach.
The accommodation consists of a through lounge/dining area with wood burning stove and Sonos sound system, a galley style kitchen, guest toilet/utility room, and garden with outside dining. Upstairs on the 1st floor are the master Kingsize bedroom and a stunning marble master bathroom. The loft room has been converted to a spacious twin bedroom.
PLEASE NOTE the loft room is accessed via a steep original staircase and so we do not recommend for young children or people with mobility issues.
Weekly and Monthly Discounts available on the property for the longer stay
Free on street Parking is available on the street, and surrounding streets. With paid parking options (Resevoir Parking) also available within minutes from the house.
There are frequent busses 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.

Great house to stay in Whistable if you want to be in the heart of the action. All restaurants, activities and shopping you could possibly need are on your doorstep. The host, Ric, is responsive and super helpful. Parking was possible outside the property too, and it’s free! We had a super weekend. 😀

Fantastic location couldn’t be better. Lovely fisherman cottage on a pretty street moments from the seafront and restaurants. Ric was very helpful responding immediately to any questions and the house set up and garden were brilliant.

All good. Parking only issue.

We had a great time, location was perfect, and the house had everything we needed, however I would say that it is better designed for 2 adults and children as beds in loft were a wee bit small for adults, other than that great place to stay

Well appointed, perfectly positioned, comfortable and charming cottage.

Ric’s cottage has been renovated to the highest standard and has all the amenities for an extremely comfortable stay in Whitstable. A bit of trouble initially finding a parking space but once we found one, we had no need to use the car again, as everything was within walkable distance. Lovely garden for sundowners!
Slight issue with a toilet, which was resolved immediately.
Great selection of restaurants and coffee shops plus lots of independent shops to peruse at your leisure.
Thanks Ric for a great stay in Whitstable.
Look forward to returning soon.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location for exploring Whitstable and the coastline. Cottage had everything we needed for a cosy long weekend. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the luxurious bath after long walks. Kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was warm and welcoming. We are planning a return visit in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space too.

The property lived up to the listing, it was spotlessly clean and really comfortable. Fabulous location for the beach and the town centre. The host was incredibly helpful re dog friendly recommendations. Will definitely be booking again.

The transaction from start to finish was super smooth, from checking in to checking out. Also enjoyed the bedrooms were on the upper floors and the livingroom and kitchen on the lower floor. Another BIG PLUS is the washer/dryer and extra toilet - Yes this place has 2 toilets which works out perfect for two adults! The firesplace was enjoyed on the cool nights and the outside yard was equally nice with a nice bottle of wine! Greatly enjoyed staying at this beautiful flat and we will be returning. Thank you Ric! Sincerely, Colleen & Glenn, from Florida

We booked the cottage for my sisters 60th birthday and we had a most fabulous time. The cottage was well equipped, clean, tastefully designed and a stones throw from everything that Whitstable has to offer. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks Ric.

Short 2 night mid week stay . Beautiful accommodation perfectly maintained. Parking was at a premium so we found a spot close by and walked everywhere- perfect break - thank you 🙏
4.9
Thank you providing a wonderful house and amenities. The property was better than a hotel with classic and modern decor combined throughout. From fluffy towels and comfy beds to first class kitchen facilities. The garden was well used by us sitting sharing wine and stories. Thank you Ric for making our stay so easy. Property is perfect for a stay in Whitstable only a very short walk to the best restaurants - Birdies and Wheelers!

Stylishly decorated and clean house in a very central location. We loved it and would recommend staying here.

Great property, owner and location
4.9
Beautiful modernised cottage, fully equipped with everything needed. Enclosed sunny garden ideal for dogs.Central location close to shops, restaurants, beach and harbour. Downsides are no easy parking, very steep stairs to attic bedroom unsuitable for elderly or infirm, noise from outside pub over the road until midnight on average. However, disturbance from pub would not happen in bad weather, and would not be a problem if bedroom windows were kept shut!
4.9
The property was spot on and in a great location for the high street and the beach. We had a fabulous time.

Had a great week away at this lovely refurbished cottage. Has everything we could have needed whilst we were there. Bedding and towels smelt amazing. Great location for all amenities. Only down side is the parking availability but we got lucky when we were there. Loved the outside space, for lazy breakfast and an afternoon cuppa or Gin. Loved all the extras, such as candles, bath soak.
Would highly recommend

The cottage was wonderful. It was stylish, clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend stay. The location was ideal. It was close to the shops, restaurants and the beach. There was a pub opposite but the noise was limited and it didn’t disturb our say. The host was communicative and gave good tips about the beat local places to visit and eat. All in all, highly recommended.
4.9
We had a great holiday, cottage couldn’t be more convenient for harbour; shops and beach. Did not need to use the car at all.
We found parking easy, but very narrow road.
Pub opposite was a bit noisy but the double glazing was super and we were not disturbed.
Really helpful owner.
Would recommend.

We've been visiting Whitstable for years but never using a rental property like this with children. What a great location! Near to everything inc a very short walk to the harbour / beach / shops and so much more.
The house is stunning and very well equipped. Great courtyard garden that the kids and adults alike enjoyed. Sunny mornings with a coffee out there were bliss.
Comfy beds. Huge bathroom. Fresh & airy. Everything in great proportion and great additions like alexa and sonos sound system. We will absolutely use again. The stairs throughout would not be ideal for very small children alone or unsteady on your feet as no handrail.
Parking was right outside but this may not always happen but easy enough to pull up and unload. There is a pub opposite which is lovely and even with small children the noise wasn't an issue for us but light / early evening sleepers may notice this in the summer.
Ric responded quickly to everything and very thorough. Thank you!!!!

We spent two days in Whistable. The cottage was so nice, and the host gave us all the details we needed. We truly recommend the place.

My wife, daughter (2) and I stayed for 2 nights at Ric's place and would thoroughly recommend it for anyone else looking for somewhere to stay in Whitstable. The interior is impeccable and the outside space is a bonus (though sadly the weather wasn't on our side for our trip). There's even a pub on the other side of the street - which has to be a good thing! Would certainly recommend and would love to stay again.

My friend and I were really impressed with the property, it was so lovely, we were over the moon! It is in a great location from the shops/restaurants/sea front etc.
I would definitely go back again!

Great central location.
Great and helpful host.
4.9
We enjoyed our stay in this well-appointed, very nicely renovated property in a great location. We found it to be comfortable, well-equipped and relatively spacious for a terraced house. The small garden is also charming although we were unable to sit out in it due to the seasonal weather. Highly recommended.
4.9
We had a lovely few days in this gorgeous cottage. Everything was as described, spotlessly clean and we loved the log fire. It was very conveniently located close to the marina and all the shops and restaurant. The owner. Ric, was super helpful and gave us loads of suggestions about where to go and what to do. We will definitely be coming back.

Lovely property, really well maintained and furnished, and close to the harbour and beaches

What a wonderfully set up house this is. Easy access to everything in Whitstable, beach, food, drinks, coffee shops etc. Only tiny, tiny issue was parking. No problem for us as we are used to lots of walking. Only managed to get near the property once, but this did not spoil the stay. All the amenities in the house were of good or better standard. The underfloor hearing was an inspired decision on behalf of the owner. Would definitely stay again
