A tastefully styled former sweet shop perfectly positioned for exploring Whitstable and the Kent Coast, this oasis is the perfect hideaway for families or group gatherings with a couple of waggy-tailed pals in tow. Gear up for a blustery coastal walk to Herne Bay and let Fido and friends feel the wind in their fur as you amble along the craggy clifftops trail, then kick up your feet and catch a pre-dinner snooze in the ambient glow of the crackling wood burner.
This inviting property offers a contemporary beach interior with hardwood flooring, seafoam green and marine blue tones, and quirky nautical touches throughout. Slide off sandy shoes and bound into the bright and airy sitting room where your worn-out pup can stretch his paws by the fire while you unwind with a drink. Aspiring chefs can whip up a snack board in the stylish shaker kitchen or sniff out the best local takeout for dinner. Enjoy a spacious dining area, perfect for perching with a morning brew and the newspaper or throw open the patio doors and dine alfresco as you bask in the mild coastal climate. Up the steep cottage stairs, you can settle in for a peaceful night’s sleep in the thoughtfully designed bedrooms styled in tranquil blue tones, consisting of two kings on the first floor, and a twin on the second floor. Get dinner sizzling on the charcoal BBQ in the enclosed patio while Fido scavenges for a spare sausage.
After exploring the myriad of eclectic boutiques and independent coffee nooks lining Whitstable’s high street, within 400 metres, head to the harbour and scope out the lobster shack for a hit of fresh seafood on the go, 200 metres. Venture to West Beach, 700 metres, for a good stretch of the legs and wave-chasing fun along the pebbly shoreline or enjoy a scenic scamper through the woods and spot the local wildlife at Blean Woods National Nature Reserve, 6 miles.
