Starfish Cottage, Broadstairs Beach & Garden Haven

You cannot fault this place in terms of location. It’s two minutes from the beach and tucked away on a quiet square so there is very little noise to disturb you. The garden was also a nice addition too. The owners were amazing, responsive and friendly, flexible with check out time.

This is an 1800s fisherman’s cottage and is built in the design you find up and down the coast. The stairs are STEEP! Possibly not great for old or very young people. The downstairs smells a little damp and the upstairs shower is tricky to get the ideal temp on.

Excellent location and clean. Cosy and comfortable.

The dishwasher does not work properly and the contents were often still dirty. It would be helpful to have hanging space for coats downstairs and more towel rails generally. Some symbols on the oven would be good but as this was our second visit we are getting the hang of how the oven works!

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming little holiday home! Easy self check-in with the key lock box, and the hosts left a welcome hamper stocked with biscuits, coffee pods, mini toiletries and a few other essentials. The kitchen was well equipped, although there are too many great restaurants in Broadstairs to bother cooking! The two bathrooms were really handy for our group of four adults (and 2 dogs). Our furry friends loved the place too - a secure courtyard garden for their morning sniffs, and just 1 minute walk from the beach at Viking bay where they could run off-lead (prior to 1st May). The hosts were super accommodating, allowing us an early check-in and late checkout, which allowed us to enjoy Broadstairs for a little bit longer. The cottage itself sits in a pretty little square tucked behind the high street, which means it's nice and quiet even though it's so central.

Nothing we didn't like! We'd happily stay again.

Location was great,the cottage was a nice home with a good little courtyard.
