Perfect stay

We had a wonderful time in this lovely cottage. It is even nicer in real life! The location is superb and the garden is perfect for breakfast outside. We can only recommend the place and our host. Communication was excellent and we felt very welcome. We would definitely stay there again.

The perfect Family Get Away

We travelled with 3 adults, one baby and a dog. The house is super well equipped and has everything you would need. It is in a prime location. Just a short walk to the beaches, harbour and restaurants. The communication with the owners has been really good as well.

Lovely Whitstable

We had a lovely 6 days, shell cottage has every-thing you will need and spotless. The cottage is close to town, harbour, and sea, perfect for us oldies. The only things that were missing we thought was a nonslip mat for inside the bath and a grab rail by the bath, I had trouble getting out, made worse by husband laughing. We all recommend the cottage. Thank-you.

Very good stay.

Excellent cottage. Not as easy parking as I was expecting. Although easier as I have a disabled badge. But the road where the cottage was situated was very restricted to parking as was the near by streets. This was quite an issue as I have walking problems. The property was excellent. No issues there.
