We thought parking would be an issue, but we were always able to get within around 20 metres of the property, and most days, right outside.

It was very comfortable, attractive and well equipped. The location is perfect, close to all that the town has to offer yet felt tucked away and peaceful. Would really like to return.

Pretty much everything needed was available, including shampoo and shower gel which was a nice surprise, although we didn't really cook because there are so many nearby places for food. Whitstable is a lovely town and really nice walking on the front between Seasalter and Tankerton.
