About this property

The "Artist's Cabin by the sea" is a charming, timber framed building perfect for cosy winter getaways and summer seaside holidays for two. This peaceful, well designed cabin is filled with original artworks, squidgy, comfy sofas, a wood burning stove, lots of storage and a well equipped kitchen. Tucked away from the crowds but only a short walk to the pebbly shore it makes a perfect retreat. With views to the sea from the private front deck and a pebbly seaside garden at the back there is lots of space for outside living. Carefully designed by the owner to give maximum comfort in a stylish small space, the cabin has room for comfortable dining inside and out, and plenty of storage for clothes and walking gear etc. The property overlooks the North Sea in a quiet spot between the Victorian seaside town of Herne Bay and the site of an ancient Roman Fort at Reculver. Walk across the clifftop and retrace the steps of oyster fishermen and roman soldiers alike, with incredible vistas across the sea and the Kent countryside. Parking is available for one car, on the street in front of the property. The Artist’s cabin by the sea is situated about 300 meters from the pebbly shore, accessed by a wide winding path, loved by walkers ,wild swimmers and explorers searching for ammonites or shark’s teeth fossils. In the village, which is a 5 minute walk there are two well stocked local shops, a friendly micro pub serving Kentish Ales and a bigger pub which serves food, the village fish and chip shop is excellent. There is a large Sainsbury’s ten minutes drive away. The Artists’ cabin is a fantastic location for exploring the coast of Kent, with Herne Bay offering a great many amenities, including, shops, pubs, cafés, and restaurants. Make a romantic getaway to remember with a stay at the delightful Artists’ Cabin overlooking the sea at 44 Reculver Drive.

Herne Bay has been a popular holiday destination for many years. With its award-winning shingle beach and restored Victorian memorial gardens, this offers families the perfect, relaxing holiday location. Herne Bay's seafront is home to the world's first freestanding purpose-built Clock Tower, built in 1837 which looks down onto the well-kept promenade. As expected when visiting an English seaside town, there are many eateries serving everything from traditional fish and chips to exotic delicacies, and of course, no seaside town is complete without an ice cream parlour and Herne Bay has two! The historic city of Canterbury is only 7 miles away, with its famous cathedral and historic past, offering theatres, museums and art galleries as well as shops, restaurants, and trips along the river. For a day of cobbled streets and browsing around quaint little shops, then make for Whitstable, famous for its Oyster festival and a popular harbour town at any time of year. Herne Bay is ideally situated for exploring this part of the Kent coast.

    It is well eqipped, with warm radiators, as well as a log stove - and very comfortable - and filled with her fascinating art work. The beach access was only about 100 yds away, down a wide paved path - Herne Bay itself a very pleasant walk along the paved coast path - about a mile and a half. I hope I can return again in the summer, and spend more time on the beach.

    . Super comfortable bed. Very quiet position down a lane near to a nature reserve. Most enjoyable stay.

  • Nancy

    The location is perfect for exploring the beach and for days out to places such as Whitstable. Herne Bay is about a 1.5 mile walk along the seafront, which was a beautiful walk. It was well stocked and incredibly cosy - we loved the wood burner! Rachael is a great host and very responsive. Overall a great stay!
