About this house rental

Upstairs, the cottage features a comfortable double bedroom and a twin bedroom. Downstairs, an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area leads to a convenient ground-floor bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Whitstable's charming town centre, offering local shops, the historic working harbour with its vibrant market, and the stony beach dotted with colourful beach huts along Tankerton Slopes are all within easy walking distance.

Step through the front door into the living room and sink into an armchair by the cosy log burner, or enjoy a board game at the dining room table while dinner is prepared in the galley kitchen. The dining area seamlessly opens onto a delightful beach-themed garden complete with decking and an inviting outdoor eating area. Featuring wooden worktops and a classic butler sink, the well-equipped galley kitchen offers everything you need for preparing delicious meals, including an electric oven, gas hob, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, and a Nespresso coffee machine to gently wake up in the morning.

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.

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.

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.

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.
