We booked this cottage at very last minute. I would certainly stay there again. Very clean and extremally comfortable beds. The only niggle is - no dishwasher!

The cottage is stunning, we absolutely loved our stay! The location is brilliant and couldn't be better for a short stay in Whitstable - 1 minute walk from the high street and a couple of minutes to the beach! We loved the garden, it really is a little sun trap and we loved having the outdoor furniture to relax on. The cottage is very well equipped with lovely decor and very comfy beds with nice bedding. The kitchen has everything you need and it was a nice touch having some of the basics there too (teabags, oil, salt etc). It was easy to check in and out using the key safe and it was handy to have multiple sets of keys. The TV and Wifi worked well too. It can be a little noisy at night given there is a pub close by but this could happen anywhere so wouldn't put me off. Would definitely recommend staying here!
