Located in a pretty East Kent village, there is something for everyone with a stay at this beachside hideaway. However, the beach is undeniably the star of the show, leading in either direction from the back garden to fine dining in the nearby gastropub or town of Whitstable, and to stunning nature walks along The Swale.
From the moment guests walk through the door, it is clear that a stay here is all about the sea and connecting with nature. Although there is an abundance of comfort in the two bedrooms, the heart of the home is the open-plan living area with its bi-folding doors that stretch the full width of the house. Providing a panoramic view of the sea from the sofa, the doors can be opened fully to bring the fresh sea air inside and really connect the interior with the breathtaking views. But why stay indoors when a large deck area with table and chairs waits outside for al fresco evenings, along with a wild coastal garden and fire pit. Could this be the perfect spot to watch glorious sunsets accompanied by the gentle sound of waves lapping the shore?
Of course, with an upmarket gastropub serving fresh local seafood less than 1 mile from the door, evenings out are just as alluring. Alternatively, a 2-mile walk along the beach leads to the heart of the fishing town of Whitstable, where there are even more menus to tempt foodies' tastebuds. A trip to Whitstable also allows the town's art galleries, workshops and independent stores to be explored, while a further treasure trove of shops sits under the shadow of Canterbury's historic cathedral, just 7 miles to the south.
