All queries were answered very promptly, the cottage was spotless and all of the fixtures and fittings were in good order. A lot of thought has gone into decoration and the property is extremely well presented. There are lots of interesting modern prints which have been thoughtfully placed to respect the period details of the cottage. It is in a great location and we enjoyed fantastic walks and lovely restaurants and bars. The little garden was an added bonus. I would book again without hesitation. ##### Maggie E. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine A. Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very pleased with cottage and central location We chose this because it was just off the main street and location was the main factor. Parking was OK (we were told there was no off street parking with the property). The house was attractive and beautifully curated - the photographs were accurate - with plenty of nice touches. The ground floor wet room was excellent and because of the steep stairs, the upstairs bathroom was handy for the bedroom, but we didn't shower there. With just the two of us we used the clothes storage in both rooms - if four people were staying, hanging and drawer space might be an issue - but we never travel light and had to pack for the changeable weather. The heating/hot water was good and plentiful. The kitchen was well equipped but a bright 'white' light for cooking during the evening when there is no natural light, would be helpful, but we only cooked dinner one evening. Due to the weather we had no opportunity to use the garden, but during the summer it would be good to have the use of the pleasant, private, open space. We ate at three of the local restraurants which were all excellent and in the centre of Whitstable, but I would recommend booking ahead which I did (we ate out Fri/Sat/Sun evenings). I have some mobility issues and the stairs were challenging for me but I am recovering from surgery and need to stretch myself. I am sure these would not be a problem for the more fit and able bodied. Would we return - yes. The host responded very promptly to queries beforehand, which was good ##### Christine A.

The cottage is decorated to a high standard and all the fittings and kitchen equipment are also of a high standard. The lovely sunny secluded little garden is a real asset too. I would highly recommend staying here! ##### Shirley W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025
