About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Sea Holly Cottage is a 3 bedroom house with a large enclosed garden close to town.
Reopened in 2026, Sea Holly Cottage opens up into a surprisingly expansive family home. Spanning three floors, this traditional cottage offers the rare luxury of three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, providing ample breathing room for multi-generational groups. The ground floor is designed for socialising, featuring a large, separate dining room and a cosy living room—both warmed by gas fireplaces. Beyond the fully equipped galley kitchen, you’ll find a downstairs family bathroom.
You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!
The house is centrally located on a quiet residential street. Parking is limited but once parked you are close enough to walk 5 minutes to town and a bit further to the beach just off harbour street. The local shops and boutiques are a treat to visit and there are a wide variety of great restaurants to suite all tastes.
You have access to all areas in the property apart from the cupboard in the eaves.
Gather the whole family—grandparents included—for a quintessential seaside escape. Sea Holly Cottage blends traditional comfort with the space a modern family needs. Imagine cosy evenings by the twin gas fireplaces in the lounge and dining room, and sun-drenched mornings enjoying breakfast in the private lawned garden.
The clever layout offers privacy for everyone: the first floor features two bright twin bedrooms with their own walk-in shower room, while parents can retreat to the spacious master suite in the converted attic, complete with a private cloakroom. From the fully equipped galley kitchen and ground floor family bathroom out to the dedicated utility room for those sandy beach clothes, we’ve thought of every detail to make your stay effortless.
There is free street parking on the road and surrounding roads. The nearest paid parking is Victoria Street car park. You can view the charges on the Canterbury City Council website. Parking can be limited in the high season but once you have parked up, you are close enough to walk into town, beach, shops etc.
You can also visit the 'Just Park' website to find out where to park in Whitstable.
There are frequent busses running from Whitstable to Herne Bay and Canterbury. You will find bus stops along Harbour Street, High Street, Oxford Street etc.
