Cosy Fisherman’s Cottage, minutes from High Street, Harbour & Beach

You will fall in love with our house due to its prime location being moments away from Whitstable's main shopping street with everything you need from art galleries, stylish clothes and food shops, restaurants and bars. In addition you have the beach and harbour just a few minutes' walk away, with its boats, colourful beach huts and oyster shells. The house is an ideal choice for all generations.

White Cottage was renovated extensively, converting what was a dark and cramped Victorian two-up two-down former fisherman's house in to an open plan, bright, stylish and comfortable holiday home.

Making it both, the perfect summer bolt hole, being able to sit in the secluded sun drenched garden or winter getaway with a cosy log burner to take the chill off after a walk along the beach.

The accommodation consists of a through lounge/dining area with wood burning stove and Sonos sound system, a galley style kitchen, guest toilet/utility room, and garden with outside dining. Upstairs on the 1st floor are the master Kingsize bedroom and a stunning marble master bathroom. The loft room has been converted to a spacious twin bedroom.

PLEASE NOTE the loft room is accessed via a steep original staircase and so we do not recommend for young children or people with mobility issues.



Weekly and Monthly Discounts available on the property for the longer stay

Free on street Parking is available on the street, and surrounding streets. With paid parking options (Resevoir Parking) also available within minutes from the house.

There are frequent busses running from Whitstable to Herne Bay and Canterbury area's. The trains from Whitstable station will take you to Ramsgate or further afield to London. There are also Taxi services available for short fares or airport runs. The nearest airport is in London and the Ferry port is in Dover.

Lovely house is great location
House was perfect, very clean and everything you needed for two of us and our dog with a fully enclosed garden. Lots to do in the immediate area and a lovely trip out to Canterbury. The only downside would be parking, although if you drive around you should be able to find roadside parking,and the pub opposite being noisy, especially if you have children trying to sleep, but this does ease by 11ish, but the house and location is definitely worth a visit.

Great house to stay in Whistable if you want to be in the heart of the action. All restaurants, activities and shopping you could possibly need are on your doorstep. The host, Ric, is responsive and super helpful. Parking was possible outside the property too, and it’s free! We had a super weekend. 😀

Fantastic
We had a great time, location was perfect, and the house had everything we needed, however I would say that it is better designed for 2 adults and children as beds in loft were a wee bit small for adults, other than that great place to stay

Immaculate Cottage, Great Location
Ric’s cottage has been renovated to the highest standard and has all the amenities for an extremely comfortable stay in Whitstable. A bit of trouble initially finding a parking space but once we found one, we had no need to use the car again, as everything was within walkable distance. Lovely garden for sundowners! Slight issue with a toilet, which was resolved immediately. Great selection of restaurants and coffee shops plus lots of independent shops to peruse at your leisure. Thanks Ric for a great stay in Whitstable. Look forward to returning soon.

NYE getaway
Lovely cottage in a perfect location for exploring Whitstable and the coastline. Cottage had everything we needed for a cosy long weekend. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the luxurious bath after long walks. Kitchen was well stocked and the cottage was warm and welcoming. We are planning a return visit in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space too.

Great Location - Great Place To Stay - Super Clean
The transaction from start to finish was super smooth, from checking in to checking out. Also enjoyed the bedrooms were on the upper floors and the livingroom and kitchen on the lower floor. Another BIG PLUS is the washer/dryer and extra toilet - Yes this place has 2 toilets which works out perfect for two adults! The firesplace was enjoyed on the cool nights and the outside yard was equally nice with a nice bottle of wine! Greatly enjoyed staying at this beautiful flat and we will be returning. Thank you Ric!
