Shell Cottage is a 2 bedroom house with a beach effect garden and is close to town

You can even take a boat trip to see the Seals, WWII Forts or simply around the bay. Whitstable has everything just a stones throw and the Train Station is conveniently only just 5 minutes walk away.
Walk through the front door and sink into an armchair in front of a cosy log burner or enjoy a board game on the dining room table whilst the dinner is cooking in the galley kitchen to dine alfresco in the pebbled garden. The kitchen has all you need to cook with an electric oven, gas hob, kettle, toaster, dishwasher and even a Nespresso coffee machine to make mornings that little bit better! The downstairs bathroom has a wash basin, WC and a large bath to really sink into.
Upstairs you will find a double bedroom to the rear and twin bedroom to the front, both with a vintage chest of drawers and clothes hangers.

Perfect stay
We had a wonderful time in this lovely cottage. It is even nicer in real life! The location is superb and the garden is perfect for breakfast outside.
We can only recommend the place and our host. Communication was excellent and we felt very welcome. We would definitely stay there again.
