Family get together
Spent 3 days visiting family. House was in great location within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Parking wasn't the easiest and don't bring a big car as street very narrow. Loved our first time in Whitstable, will be back

Perfekt für einen Urlaub in Kent
Das Haus im schönen Küstenort Whitstable ist wirklich toll: Es liegt ruhig, aber nur 5 Gehminuten von der Shoppingstraße bzw 10 Minuten vom Hafen entfernt. Man findet auf jeden Fall einen Parkplatz in der Nähe. Es ist super ausgestattet (in der Küche gibt es alles zum Putzen, Öl, Gewürze, Trockentücher etc, neben normalen Handtüchern gibt es auch Strandtücher). Es gibt 2 Schlafzimmer für Erwachsene und ein Kinderzimmer. Die Räume sind verhältnismäßig groß, schön eingerichtet und die Betten bequem. Einzig die beiden Zweiersofas im Wohnzimmer sind etwas durchgesessen. Ein Pluspunkt ist außerdem die kleine Terrasse hinter dem Haus, sehr gemütlich, wenn man nicht ausgehen möchte. Der Kontakt mit Susan war super, sie hat uns im Vorfeld über alles Wichtige informiert und war bei einer Nachfrage schnell erreichbar und total freundlich. Von Whitstable aus kann man mit dem Zug nach London und mit dem Bus nach Canterbury fahren, es wird also nicht langweilig. Es gibt niedliche Geschäfte und empfehlenswerte Restaurants und Pubs. Alles in allem war es ein toller Urlaub, wir kommen gerne wieder!

a wonderful vacation
This beautiful cottage leaves no wish unfulfilled. we had a wonderful vacation for two weeks in Whitstable.The cottage is cloth to the beach, the town and the harbour. A spezial service was the changing of the bed linen and towels after one week. We‘ve never had such a service on holidays since yet.

Fantastic stay
We stayed here as a base for visiting elderly parent. I grew up in Whitstable yet is was such a treat to stay in this quaint part of town. The house is beautiful, exactly as pictured and very comfortable. The location is perfect and easy walking distance to all the best parts of town. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit.

About the host

Hosted by Susan

Host profile image
We live in Reading & love our regular breaks in Whitstable by the sea.

Why they chose this property

We stayed in Whitstable to visit some friends in 2015 who had recently moved to Tankerton & fell in love with this quaint unspoilt seaside town!

What makes this property unique

The cottage is a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. The living area is spacious & so are all the bedrooms.
