The cottage is ideally situated. It’s a short walk to the beach and places of interest like the Dickens museum. There are many restaurants a short walk from the cottage. It is warm and comfortable, with a nice kitchen and living room. We enjoyed our stay.

A delightful cottage

We had a lovely stay in Seaview Cottage - we didn’t want to leave! The location is perfect - quiet but very central. The cottage had everything that we needed. It is cosy and charming. The beds are very comfortable and we felt very much at home. We’d love to stay again.

Lovely break

We really enjoyed our stay. Cottage is very central but tucked away. Everything is spotlessly clean. Rooms are beautifully decorated and very homely. Broadstairs was lovely and our 5 year old had lots of fun on the beach even though the weather was cold.

Perfect location, cute cottage - we had a great time!

Lovely little cottage which is just a 5 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurant. Very compact but has everything you need. Perfect for us and our small toddler. Does require a stairgate though as the one provided was broken.

Nice comfortable cottage but chilly

We would have appreciated a small welcome pack i.e. milk etc, as is provided in other properties we have rented, thereby saving us having to go to the shop as soon as we arrived.

3rd time felt like home away from home

This is the third time we've stayed at this property over the past decade. That alone should say something. Works great for myself and my two daughters and the best thing is it has parking, which is a rarity in Broadstairs. Saying that you need a small(ish) car as it's very tight getting in and out, but we already knew that.

holiday at SeaView Cottage

The property was delightful and beautifully decorated. There was a problem with parking and we were blocked in on many days. There were builders with two vans nearly every day we were there which meant that other occupants of the other cottages had to park where they could which caused the problems we had.

Lovely little cottage.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this delightful cottage. It was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was a good size and well equipped, with a nice sized dining table. The whole property was beautifully decorated and as described. The only downside was the parking which was quite tricky! Definitely not suitable for a large car, this is mentioned in the description but maybe not emphasised enough. The booking process and communication with the owner was very good. Overall we would be be happy to recommend this property to others.

Wonderful Weekend

We enjoyed a lovely Easter break in the cottage. The cottages itself is clean and comfortable. We particularly found the bed very comfortable. The refurbishment has been completed to a high standard and we rather enjoyed listening to the Sonos system whilst in the dining / kitchen area. The location is great. Central without the noise. It is literally a 2 minute walk to the main streets and although it is down a single track it is well lit at night. The neighbours at number 7 were particularly pleasant and very helpful especially when it came to the parking arrangements. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect small cottage for a holiday in Broadstairs.

The cottage is at the end of an unmade little road which means that it is very quiet but if you need a taxi, you will probably have to go to the end of the lane which leads to the cottage because of potential difficult turning access. However, if you arrive by car there is parking outside the house. It has been very thoughtfully equipped - everything you need in the kitchen, games and tv and wifi access in the living room for rainy days. Like most cottages it has steep stairs so not so easy for anyone with mobility problems but apart from that, it couldn't be nicer. Highly recommended.

Midweek getaway

The cottage is exactly as described. Spotlessly clean, small but perfectly proportioned. The kitchen had lovely crockery, lots of glasses and everything you need including tea towels and sponges. The bedlinen and bath towels were soft and fluffy, beds were very comfortable and lovely pillows. The small courtyard garden was pretty and had a nice table and chairs. The location was perfect, 2 minutes walk to the high street and and a short stroll to the beach - The Pathway is down a very narrow lane, you definitely need to drive a smallish car! We thoroughly enjoyed Broadstairs, lots of great restaurants, we particularly enjoyed the Thai restaurant, Siam Kitchen. We would 100% recommend Fishermans Cottage, you won't be disappointed.

Everything you need for a wonderful seaside break

Just a short review to say we absolutely loved our stay in Seaview Cottage. The cottage is charming and larger than I thought it would be. It was only my daughter and I but you could have a family of 4 in there with no problem, especially in the kids were younger and didn't mind sharing a bedroom. It was beautifully decorated and had everything you might want to make you stay comfortable (nice towels too!). It's great to have parking right outside but if your renting a car maybe opt for a smaller car as the space is tight and the drive down the road can be tricky. Broadstairs is a wonderful seaside town to stay in with a great beach and lots of good pubs and restaurants to enjoy. All of which is 5-10 minutes walk from the cottage. We'll be back for sure.

Not bad but not great

Just about ok only one single bed made up.. it was very cold when we arrived it would have been nice if the heating had been on.solidified coffee in coffee tin.. no books in lounge ..dishwasher needed attention looked full of limescale..much further to the cottage than shown on the website.. very large clock in kitchen..no battery!. I think just a little more attention to detail would be good ..

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We take great pride in the presentation of our cottage so its disappointing to hear a guest has not enjoyed their stay. We don't have our own website so we are unclear on the point made around distance and not sure what the distance referred to is from and to but can personally vouch for the fact that it takes 5 minutes to walk to the town centre and Viking Bay. Its difficult for us to comment on the choice of some of the interior finishes mentioned as our guest feedback suggests that they love them. Our cleaners have been to check the dishwasher today to ensure it meets our high standards. Thank you again for taking the time to give us feedback. Emily

Traumhaftes Fischerhaus mit Stil und Charme – perfekt für entspannte Tage an der Küste!Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem kleinen, gepflegten Fischerhaus in Broadstairs. Die Einrichtung ist im stilvollen skandinavischen Design gehalten – hell, gemütlich und mit viel Liebe zum Detail abgestimmt, sodass man sich ab der ersten Minute wie zu Hause fühlt.Ein kleiner Hinweis für etwas größere Gäste: Als 1,86 m großer Mann waren die Betten mit Rollrost, Kopf und Fussteil etwas ungewohnt kurz, aber für ein paar Urlaubstage lässt es sich trotzdem gut aushalten.Der Strand ist super von der Unterkunft aus zu erreichen. Ein echter Geheimtipp: Wenn man eine kleine Abkürzung durch die nahegelegene Schrebergartensiedlung nimmt, gelangt man nicht nur viel schneller ans Wasser, sondern landet meiner Meinung nach auch direkt am schönsten Strandabschnitt von Broadstairs.Insgesamt eine wunderschöne Unterkunft, die wir definitiv weiterempfehlen können!Der Innenhof ist auch sehr schön, hier würde ich als Vermieter noch ein paar Liegestühle oder ähnliches zur Verfügung stellen. Es gibt einen sehr einfachen Tisch mit vier Stühlen.

October break

Lovely three night stay in this house - it was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. An easy walk into town and the beach and the local shopkeepers and restaurant staff were all really friendly and helpful. The only issue is with the access to the house in the car - I know it has been mentioned in previous reviews but it is VERY tricky to negotiate and you need to be pretty confident at driving in reverse unless you drive a very small car!

Very close to centre of Broadstairs where there are lots of lovely bars and restaurants. Cottage spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Sheltered little court yard with rattan furniture so great for evening drinks. Would not hesitate to return.
