About this cottage rental
Just a short stroll from Viking Bay, Betsy Cottage is a beautifully preserved 17th-century flint home in the heart of Broadstairs.
Built in 1612 and once home to poet and mystic A.E. Waite, it blends historic charm with modern comfort. Original wooden floors and exposed beams sit alongside a roll-top bath in the master suite and a fully equipped kitchen for relaxed stays.
Perfect for beach days, coastal walks and cosy evenings in, this much-loved family home offers a special seaside escape.
Arranged across three floors, the cottage comfortably accommodates families and groups while retaining its intimate historic charm.
You’ll enjoy:
- Four comfortable double bedrooms, each with wardrobes and Smart TVs
- A spacious master suite with statement roll-top bath and dressing table
- Fitted kitchen with granite worktops and everything needed for home cooking
- Coffee machine with pods
- Large dining table seating eight, ideal for shared meals
- Private garden with outdoor table and seating
- Fast fibre broadband
- A medium, private & secure patio back garden with dinning table and chairs for 8
- High chair, travel cot, safety gates for ground floor available on request
The cottage is over 400 years old, and while beautifully maintained, retains the character and quirks that make historic homes so special.
(Please note: one private storage area is not included in guest access.)

The house is very centrally located so you can walk to anywhere but if you want to go to another area, trains and taxis are easy enough.
Betsy Cottage is a beautifully preserved 17th-century home, full of character and history. As with many properties of this age, it retains some charming quirks that are part of its appeal.
- The cottage is arranged over three floors with multiple staircases. It may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility or those seeking step-free access.
- As a period property, floors and walls are not perfectly straight — this is part of the character of a 400-year-old home.
- Free on-street parking is available nearby, though spaces cannot be guaranteed during peak times. A pay-and-display car park is one minute away.
