Boat House, Relax in a Whitstable Fisherman's Cottage

Watch the latest catch come in at the working harbour, then wander back via one of Whitstable's many good quality local restaurants, then home to this comfy and cosy period cottage tucked behind vibrant Harbour Street. Original fireplaces and soft, whitewashed floorboards retain the traditional character. Boat House cottage is decorated to a high standard and is bright and clean. The kitchen is well equipped with all you need to prepare meals. However if you wish to give yourself a break from cooking you will be perfectly located in a quiet street, tucked behind the bustling Harbour Street the centre of Whitstable’s cafes, pubs and restaurants and of course the beach is only a hop, skip and a jump from there. Boat House is in the heart of the conservation area and the street leads on to the famous Harbour Street which is full of great boutiques and cafes and only moments from Whitstable Beach. The south facing garden is a real sun-trap and a very nice place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine. I provide great quality bedding to make sure you get the most comfort on your holiday with a selection of feather and anti allergy pillows depending on your preference. The beds are John Lewis pocket sprung mattresses with quilted underlays to give maximum comfort and duvets from the white company with either linen or 400 thread count Egyptian cotton duvet covers. Boat House is suitable for adults and children so we can accommodate all combinations of parties and travel cots and booster seats are available on request. I also provide various combinations of welcome pack which is available upon enquiry 2 double bedrooms, one with ensuite 1 twin with 2 single beds 2 bathrooms (including the ensuite) Dining room Kitchen Sitting room Garden with dining table and chairs I would be happy to make recommendations and bookings at local restaurants for your stay. Whitstable is a quirky town famous for farming the Whitstable Native Oyster. Bracing strolls along the beach or a refreshing swim in the sea, help to work up an appetite before a pot of cockles and a pint in the pub, a great meal in one of the town's many restaurants or browsing the boutiques on nearby Harbour Street. There are so many easy ways to unwind and relax here in Whitstable. The train station is a 10 minute walk and very pleasant if you come through Stream Walk which is a pedestrian cut through on the way from the station. The Cathedral city of Canterbury is nearby and makes a fascinating historic alternative to chilling out on the beach if you want to absorb some culture while you are here for good measure! Either take the bus or a taxi if you have not brought your own car. Margate which is undergoing a revival is 20 minutes on the train. There you can enjoy the Turner Contemporary art gallery and lots of vintage shopping in the Old Town and the amusement park Dreamland which has recently reopened having been restored. Other towns along the coast worth exploring are Broadstairs and Ramsgate for their different styles of beach walks. Whitstable is only 90 minutes on road or rail from London.
