Location is brilliant, right in the centre of everything. Handover of keys was very easy. The property is very quirky and nicely kept. There were 6 of us staying and we personally slept in the loft room (a couple) this is accessed by a ladder which was fine for us, but not safe for kids or older people. Also no blinds / curtains in this room so an early wake up for us. Nice place though, we would stay again.

Great location and roof terrace

Musky smell on entry

Fantastic location and views whitstable is amazing

Stairs up to the outside area

fantastic location with a great roof terrace

Fantastic location and quirky. Good facilities , kitchen items, bedding and towels. Notes around the house giving instructions, this is a great idea. Outside of property looks fantastic and well maintained. Roof terrace an added bonus.

Bed on top floor, 2 mattresses laid horizontal. This means if in the bed it moves with the person/persons, not comfortable, should be one mattress that fits the bed. Wooden window frames all let in air as rotting, need replacing. Woodwork in other areas needs replacing or stripping back and fixing then revarnishing. Mix of the modern and old furniture not great. Keep the old furniture and add proper wardrobes, not fabric ones. Curtains do not keep out light. Add blackout liners that can be used separately so choice if people like to keep light out for more restful sleep. House mostly clean but needs attention to detail especially in the kitchen i.e. cooker knobs, microwave.

Location was great and beds were pretty comfy.

Shower needs a revamp; water sprays everywhere and temperature isn’t consistent. Lots of noise at night from pub across the road. Loft bedroom doesn’t have any curtains.

fantastic location, great roof terrace

nothing

This quirky property was in an excellent, central location in Whitstable; great for the beach, especially if you have children like ours who like to be in the sea every morning. The main bedrooms were very comfortable, especially the master bedroom. The third room on the upper floor was brilliant for our eldest child (aged 12) who loved the independence but it was up a ladder and only included a futon so may not be suitable for everyone. It also opened out onto the roof terrace which is not particularly safe for young children, so we had to make sure he was aware not to go out there on his own. There were a lot of steep stairs in the property. Whilst this really was not a problem for us at all and added to the amazing character of the house, it would have been difficult if we had had a lot of luggage or any mobility issues. The house was really clean and welcoming and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The kitchen was modern and well equipped and the bathrooms were clean and well-fitted, especially the very deep bath! We loved our stay in the Harbour Building and loved being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the town centre and the proximity to the sea. If you want a quirky place to stay in the centre of things then this could be just the place for you....just be aware that you may have to hunt about for parking!

For us the whole place was great... before you book just be aware of the stairs and that parking can sometimes be a challenge to find. Also, the location, which suited us really well, could get a bit noisy at the weekend due to its proximity to the town and pubs and also the local seagulls!
