One of the main advantages of having the ground-floor apartment is ready access to a garden and this Whitstable home doesn't let down on that front. Throw open the large glass doors in the living room and you'll find a cute little outdoor space, complete with a patio and seating for soaking up the sunshine in the warmer months. Back inside, there's a lovely use of boldly coloured tiles, from the instantly uplifting orange in the kitchen to the patterned blue ones in the master bathroom. This is a testament to the host's attention to detail when it comes to interior design, which can also be witnessed in the master bedroom — here, we'd like to single out the copper bed frame and the industrial-chic metal storage unit for praise. Once you've nodded appreciatively at what lies behind this home's front door, you can head out to explore. Whitstable Beach is no more than five minutes' walk away and the host has been kind enough to provide beach towels and equipment for guests to use. There's also a huge array of seafood restaurants, welcoming pubs and galleries along the High Street, which sits just at the end of your road.
