The Little Cottage, Whitstable
The Little Cottage is an adorable, quirky, former bicycle store beautifully renovated into a stylish holiday home in the centre of the iconic coastal fishing town of Whitstable. Whilst this is two storey cottage, the interior design feels more like living in a loft style apartment with a high vaulted ceiling and a lovely large open plan living space in which to relax and socialise. On chillier days, the gorgeous large velvet sofa is perfect for TV watching, reading or listening to music, and the fully equipped kitchen has a wooden table and benches to enjoy home cooked meals or a takeaway from one of the many on offer in the town. On sunnier days, there is a pretty walled courtyard with a bistro table and chairs and a large wooden corner bench to relax on and enjoy the sunshine. Whitstable is a lively coastal town with a thriving arts and creative scene and lots of live music in the many pubs and cafes, including the famous Old Neptune on the beach which is only a short walk from the cottage. Take a stroll along the buzzing High Street and popular Harbour Street both with a wealth of independent and boutique shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and explore the fishing harbour to sample some delicious seafood. Further afield are the historic market town of Faversham and the medieval City of Canterbury.

Weekend in Whitstable
The Little Cottage was comfortable, clean, super cute and in a great location to access the seafront and high street with all amenities.
Lovely modern cottage tucked away in a quiet residential road. All mod cons and facilities plus the benefit of a small garden. A great base for exploring Whitstable. Only downside was with the main shower head, which leaked when on full power so had to use hand shower attachment instead. As it was Easter weekend, it also took a while to find a parking space nearby.

A short break in Whitstable
The property was very clean and tidy with all the equipment we needed. Parking was a slight problem and we could not find any instructions about the working of appliances. Nonetheless we very much enjoyed our stay

A great little getaway
We loved this quaint accommodation for our seaside getaway. An easy walk to the shore or downtown, a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, a secluded courtyard to relax in, and comfortable beds with fresh linens. The staff at Keepers was friendly and easy to communicate. They tolerated our many questions with kindness and dealt with our questions or concerns immediately. We will definitely rebook this accommodation next time we are in Whitstable.

Really Interesting place. Stylish, high end furnishings and comfortable. Couple of things would make it more welcoming.
Lot of dust on lampshades and behind TV. I notice cos allergic.
Little things like a bit of tin foil, kitchen paper, couple of herbs and bit of oil would be nice. Washing machine provided but no tablets or clothes horse. Not too much to ask really.
Outside space really needs cleaning especially as looking at broken windows of another property. Appreciate, not a lot you can do about that but at least it's quiet apart from kitchen extractor.
Bins do
Not a great introduction to the property but it grew on us.
