Our last day of our amazing 7 week stay in Heron House. We are so sad to leave and can't begin to say how enjoyable our visit has been to Whitstable. Heron House itself has truly been a home from home with everything provided we could possibly need in a perfect location to sample everything that Whitstable has to offer. From the moment we booked, the lovely owner Julie was extremely friendly and bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay and provided a lovely tray full of delicious cheeses and biscuits on our arrival to welcome us. Having our two large dogs with us we fully expected to be severely limited with where we could visit but Whitstable is SO dog friendly! Our dogs went everywhere with us!! We will certainly miss our many walks along the beaches to Seasalter and Tankerton, always with lunch, a slice of cake or dinner at the end to reward us for our efforts in the huge selection of dog friendly restaurants and coffee shops. Our absolute favourites for coffee and light bites were Elliots and No.15 in Whitstable and Jo Jo's in Tankerton have the most AMAZING cakes!! Dinner choices were only slightly limited because of our two furry friends but I can definitely recommend The Marine Hotel in Tankerton, The Hotel Continental and The Pearsons Arms all of which welcomed dogs with open arms. I also can't not mention the fantastic Local pub the Coach and Horses which became our usual Friday night haunt. The barman and locals were brilliant and Flo our bulldog became a little bit of a celebrity pub dog, wandering around asking for a stroke from anybody who was willing. Our nights here normally ended with a stroll down to the local Chinese The Four Seasons, or Indian, The Star of Bengal for a takeaway both of which served delicious food. I can't say enough good things about both our wonderful accommodation and Whitstable as a town. Even in the depths of winter it didn't fail to enchant us. We loved it so much we are even considering a permanent move to the area...now if that isn't an endorsement nothing is!!

From start to finish our stay at Heron House was lovely. The owner Julie was very friendly and helpful throughout the booking process and afterwards returning our deposit the same day. The house itself is absolutely perfect with 4 large double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen and breakfast bar with large dining table that easily seated 8 people. The recent refurbishment is excellent and everything is finished to a very high standard. There is nothing that Julie hasn't thought of in equipping the house and we enjoyed a lovely Christmas in our 4 day stay at Heron House with all mod cons. We would thoroughly recommend this property and have every intention of returning. Whitstable itself is well worth a visit and we were surprised by the varied activities that are available from the beach to shops and restaurants
