From the owner

Extensive renovations are now complete (July 2015) and this lovely period home by the sea, Heron House, is ready for holiday bookings. Our place offers guests a great central location in the heart of Whitstable's Conservation Area - just a hop and a skip to the beach and the high street. There's plenty of space (2 reception rooms, large kitchen/diner, 4 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), cosy corners, a small garden with patio and a garden room to enjoy. Heron House is perfect for guests of all ages and we welcome dogs. From couples to extended family groups, we offer a comfortable, classic period home-from-home with the benefits of WiFi, wood burner, extended kitchen/diner and private parking for one car.

The house itself is detached and offers a peaceful oasis between the bustling weekend crowds on the waterfront and high street. The interiors are full of Victorian character, all fully refreshed following recent full renovation, but with a modern twist. There is a newly extended kitchen/diner with breakfast bar and two sets of French doors leading out to the patio - a great space for entertaining with seating for up to 8 guests plus high chair. There are 2 double bedrooms and 2 with twin beds that can also be made up as double rooms, all with king-sized beds. There are also 2 bathrooms, both with rolltop baths and shower facilities. In the evenings you can choose between 2 cosy lounges: the snug is open plan to the kitchen and offers seating for 4 guests, an AGA woodburner and TV/DVD. Next door, at the front of the house, is the lounge with seating for 5, a feature fireplace and larger TV/DVD.

Outside there is the all-important parking space for 1 car, a small secure garden with lawn and borders, patio dining area and access to the garden room. There is seating for 8 guests, tables and parasol, Weber BBQ and deckchair. The garden room offers further space to relax with a daybed and large leather beanbag.

We are just opening the doors to guests for the first time this summer (July 2015) and are offering fully inclusive rental rates that cover all the basics:

- Bed linen, towels and toileries

- Loo rolls, kitchen rolls, cleaning and laundry supplies/equipment, candles, napkins

- Kitchen supplies, including: foil, film, tea/coffee/sugar, salt/pepper, jam/marmalade, some sauces/herbs/oil etc

- Travel cot with bedding and high chair

- Free stay for up to 2 mature, well-behaved dogs (dog water bowls provided)

- BBQ, garden furniture and parasol

- WiFi

- Use of woodburner, including small supply of logs for fire (including kindling & matches)

- Welcome gift tray, including locally produced items

We look forward to welcoming you to Heron House Whitstable!
