The lively town of Whitstable, which is known as the “Pearl of Kent”, dates back to before the Domesday Book. Its seaside location makes it ideal for watersports all year round, and its fishing heritage is reflected by the Oyster Festival, which takes place every July. The buzzing local museum/art gallery introduces around six new exhibitions each year, and has a fabulous coffee shop. Whitstable Castle dates back to the 1790’s, and hosts events all year round including a big May Day celebration with contributions from local musicians and artists. The town is home to a small, independent brewery, and any need for retail therapy will easily be satisfied by the range of both national stores and charming small, independent shops. Whitstable is also home to The Pearsons Arm, a gastropub owner by celebrity chef Richard Phillips and nearby in Seasalter is the Michelin star-awarded gastropub, The Sportsman which is also well worth a visit. The city of Canterbury, with its fine 6th century cathedral is just 7 miles away; also nearby is Herne Bay, from where on a clear day you can see as far as Southend and the Isle of Sheppey.

It was home from home. The bed was lovely and cosy and very comfortable. It was great to have towels that fitted round you. Parking was ok and we always managed to find a space. Only a couple of points with the door handles although lovely kept getting stuck and the glass at the top of the door leading up to flat could benefit from some covering.

Chris and Pat Womack, Lowestoft, Suffolk. PS My wife did leave her watch and earrings behind on the bedside cabinet but the owner kindly posted them back. Many thanks for that.

We were visiting family in Whitstable and the apartment was so well equipped, it had everything you could need. Even down to blackout blinds behind the curtains. The towels were lovely and soft, everything felt very new and fresh. Cleanliness was incredible. If I really had to think up any feedback it would be, would have preferred white bedding. Just gives a cleaner feel - but Iâm being extremely picky as the bed and bedding was so comfy. Iâm not sure why others have feedback about the parking - we stayed in August and parked easily every day. Sometimes it was a couple of minutes down the road but was no fuss as we were on our holidays!! Weâll absolutely be back!!
