This former fisherman's cottage has been given a new lease of life as a charming holiday home. Best suited to a couple and up to three kids, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures in the wonderful town of Whitstable. Step inside, and you'll feel instantly at home thanks to the cosy furnishings and warm colour scheme. There are quirky details dotted throughout the house – look out for the sweet octopus sketch, patterned tiles, and carefully curated antique pieces. On chilly evenings, you can light up the wood-burner and enjoy a home-cooked dinner of local seafood. Or, when the sun shines, head out to the courtyard and fire up the barbeque for a delicious grilled feast. From here, Whitstable Beach is just a five-minute stroll away, where you can paddle in the water and soak up the Kentish sunshine. There are plenty of quaint pubs and tasty restaurants to try – make sure you don't leave without tasting the town's delicacy, fresh oysters. And, if you fancy doing something a bit different, head to the Wildart Trail, a woodland walk adorned with sculptures – it's a fourteen-minute drive away.

About Whitstable

This seaside town suddenly came into fashion about twenty years ago and hasn’t looked back. Once a quiet fishing community, it’s now one of the most popular second home spots in Kent, and its many admirers have encouraged new businesses, bars and eateries to pop up all over town. Away from the high street, the real attraction is the long pebbly beach – known for its views across the estuary...
