Perfect stay for a couple of days. Even better than the photos. Great location with everything you need in an easy walkable distance. Sophie was great with communication and was happy to answer any questions. Would stay again!
We enjoyed a great stay . The property was close to the shops, great restaurants and beach . The house was really cosy and clean and our host responded immediately to any queries . She also provided great tips for nearby restaurants . The Lobster Shack was a big hit !
Our stay was fantastic. The house was perfect and cozy for our family of 5. so much to do and some great places to eat. We also loved the accessibility of the area as we are big walkers. Do yourselves a favor and book the house now for your next trip. Lastly, the kitchen was well equipped.

Hi Lynda, thanks for you review, so glad you enjoyed your stay. The shower is new so perhaps was a little stiff, I gather from our housekeeper that all that was needed was a little WD40.
Kind regards Sophie
Sophie's property is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay with a toddler and dog. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and sun trap garden, and located a short walk from the town. We parked easily on the next street and didn't touch our car again. Sophie's communication was amazing and it was lovely meeting her at check in. We'll be back - thank you!

Neptune cottage Whitstable
Very nicely decorated house . Comfortable interior. Parking was dreadful . Unable to park near the property, sometimes streets away . Lack of bedroom storage in two of the bedrooms. Very nice garden with outside seating . Terrace house with another rental property one side of it . There were very noisy tenants one side of us . They kept us awake into the early hours of the morning!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. In response to your comments about parking our cottage is very centrally located on a residential street a stones throw from the beach and high street. Sometimes parking can take a little patience at busy times as Whitstable is a popular seaside destination but there is always free on street parking to be had nearby or a paid car park a 1 minute walk away.
Zusammen mit unserem Hund und unseren 2 Teenagern hatten wir eine sehr schöne Woche in diesem hübschen englischen Häuschen. So zentral gelegen, dass wir die ganze Woche ohne Auto unterwegs waren. Der Ort Whitstable ist besonders für Urlaub mit Hund geeignet, weil Hunde so gut wie überall gern gesehen sind.

Stylish 3 Bedroom Cottage close to shops and beach
The cottage was beautifully furnished and well maintained. Beds were really comfy and bedrooms were a good size. The location was really good with just a short walk to shops, station and beach. Recommend this property......we enjoyed our 7 day stay.

Easter 🐣 in Whitstable
My family enjoyed a very comfortable stay- the house is lovely- decor modern, beds comfortable, bedding lovely too. The children loved the garden and we all enjoyed the wood stove.
It is so easy to get to the seafront that we didn’t move the car at all after finding a nearby parking space.
Certainly recommend for families.
