About this property
Perfectly positioned on the beach for enjoying coastal walks as well as a variety of water sports including windsurfing, kite surfing and sailing. Why not enjoy a bike ride along the Crab and Winkle Way or ride along the coast to Herne Bay. Whitstable is famous for its oysters which are celebrated every August at the Oyster Festival, and the town is a haven for keen foodies, with several local pubs and restaurants just moments from the cottage. For a spot of culture, head to nearby Faversham or Canterbury, which is home to the country’s oldest Cathedral. Visit the ancient ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and St Martin's Church which form Canterbury's unesco World Heritage site.

The location and views of this property were excellent and leads directly on to the beach aswell as being central for centre of Whistable. A parking space is very useful. Storage for food etc us an issue especially for a family. T he double beds were unfortunately not comfortable. Having out door space was very useful

The house is in an excellent position for exploring Whitstable and the surroundings areas. Great views of the sea and sunsets. It was comfortable for 5 people but anymore it would start to feel a little cramped, especially in the kitchen re the table and benches as well as the seating in the sitting room. The kitchen looks bigger in the pictures and the storage was limited. There was no storage in double bedroom on the first floor expect for a few hooks on the back of the door, so take extra hooks or boxes to store clothes in. Serenity was a comfortable house and well equipped with crockery and basic equipment for cooking.
