Great little cottage perfectly situated for sightseeing Herne Bay, Whitstable, Canterbury and Margate. There a bus stop at the end of the road that goes to Canterbury and surrounding places if you want a break from driving. Lovely pub within a 10 minute walk.Cottage was quiet, well equipped and comfortable. There's some steep stairs to the bedroom so might not be good for less mobile visitors, but otherwise, it's perfect!
