About this property

Goldfinch Cottage sleeps six guests comfortably and is located just a stone's throw from the Harbour.

Goldfinch Cottage is a stunning Victorian house, modernly decorated to a high standard. As you walk through the front door after a long day exploring Whitstable, sink into the large comfortable sofa in front of a crackling fire with a glass of wine or a good book. The stylish kitchen is fully equipped to cook a hearty meal using the local fish caught in the working harbour. It comes with an extra fridge and a dishwasher, to save the washing up! The dining table & chairs look out through the bi-fold doors to the decked garden with comfortable seating, and scented with honeysuckle. The utility room is convenient with a sink, washing machine, fridge & freezer.
Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms; 1 Kingsize, 1 Double & 1 Twin, all with Victorian furnishings. The relaxing bathroom has a shower over the bath, WC and basin.

The town, beach, Harbour and Whitstable Castle are all only a couple of minutes walk which makes it easy to pop to the shops and eat out at the many restaurants. You can enjoy a boat trip , hire bikes and learn to paddle board if you're feeling a bit more adventurous!
Visits to the surrounding towns of Herne Bay with it's historic Pier and Canterbury with it's breathtaking Cathedral are only a short bus ride away with busses running every 15 minutes.

Great venue for our New Year getaway

A beautiful little cottage with loads of attention to finishing touches, well equipped kitchen and space for the 6 of us to chill out in front of a good film. Only criticisms would be that although the house was generally spotless, the rug in the sitting room could do with a good clean and the one loo in the bathroom upstairs was a bit of an issue, would be great if there could be a separate loo downstairs.
