Located in Whitstable on the north coast of Kent, this spacious and perfectly appointed property makes the ideal holiday base for a large family or group of friends. Savour the opportunity to simply relax at base, where you’ll find an outdoor heated swimming pool. The garden backs onto a public pathway that leads to pretty Whitstable Beach (less than 0.5 miles). There’s a wealth of nearby attractions to explore on your doorstep; go for a walk to Whitstable Harbour (1 mile), renowned for its oysters, fresh seafood and boat tours. The colourful beach huts on Whitstable Beach only add to the charm. In town, there’s a selection of interesting boutiques, art galleries and craft shops to explore. Catch a glimpse of local history at Whitstable Castle and Gardens (2 miles), whilst the iconic landmark of Canterbury Cathedral is only 8 miles away.

Enter the elegant hallway, which sets the tone for the rest of the house, a palette of neutral hues creates a tranquil ambience. Explore the ground floor further and find sumptuous rooms with chic furnishings and fittings, floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the garden, and plenty of homely touches for an indulgent stay. The impressive lounge is the social heart of the home. Gather here and sink into the stylish seating as the Smart TV streams your favourite shows. For more relaxation, perhaps for space-seeking little ones, an additional lounge/snug area boasts more inviting seating. When stomachs start to rumble, find the well-appointed and contemporary kitchen/diner – a sleek and modern space perfect for enjoying group feasts. After the chef has worked their magic, gather at the modern dining table, with room for 18 guests, for memorable meals, or sit down at the breakfast bar if numbers are low. Elsewhere on the ground floor, you’ll find an office for any mid-holiday emails and two convenient WCs. At the end of each busy day away, nine fantastic bedrooms await, the first of which is on the ground floor – a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room. The remaining eight bedrooms are upstairs on the first and second floors. On the first floor you’ll find seven king-size zip-and-link bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, while on the second and final floor awaits a super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom – this bedroom also boasts a peaceful terrace with outdoor furniture.

The impressive outdoor area features electric gates that open to reveal the property, with ample private parking available. To the front of the house, guests can enjoy al fresco dining on the patio area. To the side of the property, you’ll find a games area, get competitive with a round of table tennis or go for a swim in the covered, heated outdoor swimming pool. To the rear of the property, you’ll find an additional patio area featuring an array of outdoor furniture and sun loungers to relax on. For your convenience, the property also provides bike storage.

This was a lovely property and we very much enjoyed our holiday stay. We had a few issues to start with, such as not being given the correct codes for the gate and door but a phone call sorted this out. The one thing that would have been really helpful is a welcome folder giving instructions on things like locking the front door, WiFi code, recycliRead moreng etc with a few leaflets on local places to visit and restaurant recommendations. The swimming pool was brilliant, warm enough to swim in during our October holiday. Children and adults alike enjoyed it. There was plenty of room in the house for our group of 16, we never felt as though we were in each others way. We had an amazing time and were sorry to leave. Hide
