Let your bowow bestie sniff out an adventure in the Garden of England, with an exceptional stay in this Kent cottage. The whole pack is invited to enjoy this fabulous cottage within reach of Whitstable (1 mile) and just a short walk to Tankerton Beach (0.5 miles). Sleeping six guests and one pup, the property is utterly amenable and an instantly comforting home-from-home. Feel like a top dog as you wake up to that fresh sea air each morning, popping the coffee machine on before letting your beloved dog loose into the enclosed garden for that first run around of the day.

Warm and welcoming interiors can be found in every room, all with a distinct nautical theme running through the decorations and accents throughout. Spend the cosiest evenings resting in the lounge/diner, switching the Smart TV on and encouraging Fido to come and curl up at your feet. If you’re looking for a more energetic evening, grab a game from the bookshelf and let your pup snooze in their bed while you get stuck in. A kitchen and a separate snug with a single day bed and another Smart TV complete this floor. Move upstairs to find the three bedrooms and a family bathroom or step outside via French doors to bask in the sunshine in the fully enclosed patio garden.

Backed by colourful beach huts, the nearby Tankerton Beach is an appealing side spot with shingle shores, a fun place to exercise your pups throughout the cooler months. In high summer, make your way along to Whitstable Beach (1 mile) where your pets are welcome to play all year round. In the centre of town, you’ll find plenty of dog-loving eateries including pubs and fisheries, and you simply must treat yourselves (and man’s best friend) to a catch of the day from this beloved fishing locale.

We had a fabulous stay over May half term during the recent heatwave. The cottage was welcoming, comfortable, spacious and cool! Its positioned nicely between Tankerton and Whitstable (and an easy walk to both) where there is lots to see/do/eat/drink. We loved the seafood! A car parking space out front is super useful (with lots of places to see wiRead morethin a short drive) and there was nothing the house didnt have. My teenager adored the downstairs den but I can see how well this would work for an elderly or infirm relative too. All in all, we had a fabulous week - visiting Canterbury by bus, Margate by train, Dover Castle and Deal by car and Whitstable on foot. Knowing we had this beautiful property to come back to in the evening was simply joyful. Wed stay here again for sure. And my dog is a big fan of the Tankerton slopes. Highly recommend! Hide

Rose Cottage is in a fantastic location, an easy walk to Tankerton which has quite a lot of useful shops and also close to bustling Whitstable. The house was very well prepared for us and was very clean. It looks as it has been recently redecorated and the seating area has comfortable settees. The bathroom and shower room are newly refurbished. TRead morehe area around Rose Cottage is very quiet and parking was easy, one car could be parked off road and there was never a problem finding a space on the road for our second car. We would love to return to Rose Cottage. Hide

Rose Cottage is a wonderful location for a holiday. It is close enough to Whitstable town to allow easy access but far another away to be a quiet and peaceful base. We loved Tannkerton and enjoyed exploring the area, coming back to a warm and comfortable house making it even better. Rose Cottage was clean and tidy, spacious enough for six peoplRead moree and a dog to relax and have fun with a range of areas both inside and out to do this in. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, we had a great time. Hide
