Lovely cottage, even nicer than photos on website.Very conveient for high street,shops and restarants.Best self catering place that we have visited.Would love to stay again,but as an older couple with mobility problems,will no longer manage the stairs.
We very much enjoyed our stay in the lovely Lilly Cottage. It is within walking distance of all sorts of restaurants, the seaside and other local attractions. It is well-maintained, the beds are comfortable, and everything is nicely renovated and new. Dale and Nina are great hosts, and very responsive to little questions that came up over our stay.
Beautifully quirky, very clean and very helpful advice and instructions.Glorious little garden.The whole property is obviously loved and well looked after
A friend and myself had a three night stay in Lily Cottage which was just enough to see the local area. The cottage is decorated to a high standard and all the fittings and kitchen equipment are also of a high standard. The lovely sunny secluded little garden is a real asset too. I would highly recommend staying here!
Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location to explore Whitstable and surrounding towns/countryside.
Lovely contemporary and spotless cottage, well equipped and in a great location. Dale the host, was great with recommendations for places to visit and restaurants. Loved it!
Everything you could need for any length of stay. Especially happy with the hand wash - may seem a small thing but meant a lot.Garden is a lovely sun trap.
We had an absolutely brilliant time, staying at Dale and Nina’s. Really liked the decor of the house and the location is perfect. Everything worked well and no issues with parking close to the property as we arrived later in the day. Our children are 3 & 5 and loved the place too. We’ll defo be back, thanks for having us.
We had a fantastic stay in this lovely property which is in a great location in Whitstable.
It’s cosy with great decor, and the kitchen has a good range of cookware.
The garden was small but perfectly formed - great for the sunny days!
Excellent place to stay close to Whitstable centre and beach
Lilly Cottage is absolutely gorgeous. The decor of the whole place makes it feel homely and welcoming. The location is perfect too with the high street within 1 minute and the beach front about 5 mins away. Dale and Nina were great to deal with too and gave lots of local information prior to our arrival to make the whole experience seamless :)
Lovely house in whitstable - good sized property with a garden. Plenty of space for 4 adults.
Design was great and modern - has a very well equipped kitchen too.
Only compliant for us was that the beds were a bit hard for our liking, but that could just be personal preference.
Would recommend staying here.
Lilly Cottage was fabulous- beautifully appointed as you can see in the photos, full of character, but also spotlessly clean!
We had everything we needed, comfy beds and lots of hot water for our stay in charming Whitstable.
The location is great, for a short walk to the harbour, through the village with restaurants, cafes, bars and shops.
Thoroughly enjoyed and would love to return!
We had such a great little family break to Whitstable staying at Lily Cottage. It was such a great location, so close to shops, restaurants and the beach and very cosy. Our son really enjoyed the garden too. Communication with Dale was brilliant and gave us great tips and recommendations. Thanks Dale and Nina for a lovely stay!
Excellent well cared for cottage in an amazing location. Only downside was the steep stairs. Ok if you don’t suffer from mobility issues but I am not as nimble as I once was so caution was required
