From the owner

A charming old, rustic fisherman's cottage, full of quirky touches and just 30 secs from the beach, restaurants, bars, and shops.

We provide practically everything for the beach from towels and mats to a picnic hamper and cooler and also have a lovely sunny private garden with BBQ & dining for up to 8 people.

Our summerhouse has comfy seating, heating, super wifi & a cinema projector to watch films & sport. Ideal to chill out in or an ideal secluded space for people who are WFH.

The cottage is an old rustic fisherman's cottage with 3 double bedrooms & two bathrooms (one of which is upstairs) across 3 floors, with a lovely courtyard garden, and it is about 30 secs from the lovely independent shops and restaurants of Whitstable and 2 mins from the sea & beach!

The interior is filled with a quirky mix of vintage & french boho furniture and there are the original wooden floorboards throughout the cottage. The sitting room has two large, comfy chesterfield sofas that will seat 6 people easily and the adjacent dining room has a dining room table which seats 6 people easily and there is also a lovely large real open fire for cozy winter nights!

Dogs are welcome to stay. (We have two rescue dogs although - they and us - obviously won't be there during your stay.)

This unique cottage is packed with lots of interesting one-off antiques, has a shabby chic decor, and is full of rustic charm. The cottage has a lovely walled garden with beautiful rose bushes and homegrown herbs as well as a French table and chairs for at least 8 people dining outside; there's a sitting room with two chesterfield sofas which seats at least six people comfortably; the dining room has a real open log fire and a dining table & chairs that seat 6 people; the downstairs bathroom with the original cast iron roll top bath and there is also a more modern shower room upstairs; each of the three double bedrooms has antique double beds and Egyptian cotton sheets; plus there's an amazing bespoke gallery kitchen with hand -made wooden worktops a range cooker, Smeg fridge freezer, and a full complement of pots, pans and utensils. There are also wooden floors and old school radiators throughout the cottage.

We also offer beauty & other therapy treatments at the cottage.

NB: please note that like all fisherman cottages in Whitstable the stairs are very steep and aren't suitable for those people who have mobility issues.
