June
Very well appointed with quality fittings. House was spotless and with temperatures plummeting in Nov it was very warm and cosy. Beds comfortable. Excellent location in Whitstable 10 minutes walk if that to the high street and 5 minute walk to the harbour. Would highly recommend and would use again if holidaying in this area.

Felt like home from home with fixtures, fittings and artwork to our taste. Excellent location within walking distance from harbour, high street and restaurants. Parking on site, and recreation area for dogs and children 200 yards away. Good local well stocked Co-op corner shop.
