A Beautiful, Spacious Cottage, Only A Short Walk To The Beach (Child friendly)

The house is a few minutes' walk from the sandy beach (The Sunday Times names "Stone Bay" as the best beach in Kent) to one side and a few minutes' walk from all the restaurants and bars to the other.

Broadstairs has a number of English Language Schools catering for individual and group learning.

The charming but spacious cottage has great character in the century-old design, wood-panelled dinning room and large secluded garden. There are 3 lovely double bedrooms, sleeping up to six, with the possibility of 2 additional cot beds. On the first floor you will find the two main bedrooms and the main bathroom (with bathtub and shower), and a separate toilet. The master bedroom to the front has wonderful sea views and the back bedroom looks over our lovely, secluded garden. Downstairs there is a dining room, a sitting room, a kitchen with an additional small dining area, a brand-new downstairs shower room and a second separate toilet. Bedroom number 3 can also be found on the ground floor, through our little 'sunroom' towards the back of the property. The sitting room has TV and DVD and there is free Wifi.

The house is situated in a lovely, tiered garden with mature shrubs and (fruit) trees, with swings, see-saw and lots of toys for children as well as books and DVDs for all ages. There is a lovely sun trap al-fresco dining area which completes the holiday feeling. We hope that you will appreciate the charm of our home as much as we do.

Please note the house has a number of steps and levels on the ground floor making it unsuitable for wheel chair users.

Perfect Holiday Home in a Great Location

Wow! We usually head for the West Country or Wales for holidays. We absolutely loved charming Broadstairs and the Kent coast. We were all delighted with our stay in this beautiful home. We loved the garden, the space in the house. It was so well appointed. We were all impressed and would love to stay again next time we are Broadstairs bound. So many happy memories from our weeks stay.

Getaway to Kent

This is a spacious house with excellent furnishing and well equipped kitchen, easy to use cooker. Ideally situated for walking into Broadstairs for an evening meal or lunch, and with a short walk from the house to Stone Bay but steps down to the beach. The only thing lacking were bath mats and hand towels in the toilets, otherwise superb. Many thanks for the use of, would definitely return.

Sandy Bay Cottage

The cottage was very nice and in a very good area of Broadstairs. There wasn’t a checkin-process, we picked up the key from a special place. We didn’t have any communication with the property manager. However we did feel overall it needed some TLC.

A beautifully presented house, close to the beach and the shops.

We have had a lovely holiday in Broadstairs and Sandy Bay cottage is located brilliantly, close enough to walk to the beach but far enough away from the bustle of the town to be relaxing.

Great seaside house

Very relaxing holiday with fantastic sunny weather all week. House is excellent and very homely and comfortable, and well situated for the lovely sandy beach at Stone Bay and only 10 mins walk to Broadstairs town centre, with a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, so great for both families and seniors. There are plenty of other bays to explore and lots of seaside towns close by. We really liked Sandwich with all the old houses and visited Walmer Castle which has a lovely garden.

Très agréable séjour dans cette confortable maison

La maison est très cosy, spacieuse et très calme. Les lits sont très confortables. Le jardin est très agréable et spacieux aussi ! La plage est proche à pieds et assez large. Le village, 10 Minutes à pieds comprend tout ce dont on a besoin.

Wunderschöne Weihnachtsferien in Broadstairs

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in Broadstairs und im Sandy Bay Cottage. Das Cottage liegt ca. 5 Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt und bietet aus dem Master Bedroom einen fantastischen Blick auf's Meer und die atemberaubenden Sonnenaufgänge. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet, sehr sauber, perfekt ausgestattet und bot in unserem Fall großzügigen Platz für 6 Erwachsene und ein Kleinkind. Der Stadtkern sowie Supermärkte und Pubs sind in 10 Gehminuten zu erreichen, größere Einkaufszentren und Superstores in 10 Autominuten. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr freundlich und es hat alles reibungslos funktioniert. Wir kommen gerne wieder! :-)

Lovely Broadstairs, fab accommodation.

The photographs of Sandy Bay Cottage don't really do this beautiful spacious house justice. Well equipped full of character and lots of room for three generations of family, although not suitable for people with walking difficulties due to a couple of big steps leading into the downstairs bedroom and steps into the downstairs toilet. Lovely big bedrooms the front one overlooking the sea. 10 minute walk to Stoney Bay Beach down some steps, 15 -20 minutes walk to Broadstairs and Broadstairs beach very handy shop called Victory News on the way. Lovely seating area and Bbq in the garden. Highly recommend.

Perfect holiday home for families by the sea with garden

As grandparents (from Germany), parents from London with their two-sear-old twins we enjoyed a perfect holiday week. We have never com across such a well equipped, clean and lovingly prepared holiday home before. The owner was extremely helpful when preparing our stay. There was an immediate answer to every question. Als Großeltern (aus Deutschland), Eltern aus London mit ihren zwei Jahre alten Zwillingen haben wir eine perfekte Urlaubswoche genossen. Wir haben noch nie ein so gut ausgestattetes, sauberes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus angetroffen. Die Eigentümer waren bei der Vorbereitung unseres Aufenthaltes äußerst hilfsbereit. Auf jede Frage gab es sofort eine Antwort. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen und wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen. Broadstairs ist ein richtig schönes englisches Seebad!

Gut gelegenes geräumiges Haus in Strand- und Ortsnähe

Wir haben unseren Sommerurlaub in Broadstaires verbracht und waren von dem Ort und der Gegend mit den vielen hübschen Buchten sehr begeistert. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr nett, schon im Vorhinein wurden uns Tipps gegeben und Fragen beantwortet. Auch bei Problemen vor Ort wurde schnell reagiert und geholfen. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und ein gepflegter Garten mit Terasse schließt sich direkt an. Wir hatten ein wenig Pech, dass die Vormieter die Küche nicht so verlassen haben, wie man sich das als nachfolgender Feriengast wünscht und die Reinigungsfirma hat dies leider nicht bemerkt, weswegen die Sauberkeit der Küche für uns nicht zufriedenstellend war.

Gemütliches Häuschen

Wir haben mit unserer Familie eine Woche in diesem Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist groß und gemütlich mit drei großen Schlafzimmern. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, der Garten ist ebenfalls groß und nicht von außen einsehbar, sodass man wirklich ungestört ist. Die Straße ist ruhig. Bis zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Gehminuten. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen und können die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen :)

Geräumiges Haus in ruhiger Umgebung

Wir fühlten uns sofort wohl. Das Haus ist wirklich sehr groß und mit zwei Familien kann man sich gut verteilen, da ein Schlafzimmer im hinteren Bereich liegt. Der Garten ist bei schönem Wetter super für die Kinder mit Schaukel und Wippe. In zehn Minuten ist man in Broadstairs zu Fuß und zum Bahnhof sind es 15 Minuten. Eine Bushaltestelle gibt es auch in der Nähe. Wir würden sehr gerne nochmal wiederkommen.
