Set in the thriving seaside town of Whitstable, this stylish cottage makes a light, attractive and inviting retreat for a family or a group of friends seeking a cosy getaway. Within 0.5 miles of the beach, harbour and castle, this traditional terraced cottage has been imaginatively updated and furnished and makes a wonderful base for exploring this tranquil part of the Kent coast. The cottage is also ideally situated for exploring the town centre, with its fantastic range of shops, boutiques and art galleries, as well as its wonderful restaurants, cafes and pubs, many specialising in fresh seafood brought in via the harbour.

Entering the property, you will find the light-filled open-plan lounge/diner which is an elegant space ideal for relaxation at the end of a wonderful day and features plenty of seating, a Smart TV, Blu-ray, iPod dock and an open fire. The sleek and stylish galley kitchen makes preparing meals a pleasure. There are three charming bedrooms on the first floor, which is reached via open-tread stairs: two comfortable king-size rooms and a restful double room. French doors lead outside, where you can relax in the beautifully designed back garden which is set mainly to shingle and has a delightful seaside theme, with garden furniture, festoon lighting and a BBQ, so you can unwind on a warm summer’s evening.

Whitstable features a beautiful shingle beach, a quaint harbour and an 18th-century castle and the town holds a regular Oyster Festival to celebrate the popular local delicacy. You can take breathtaking coastal walks to Tankerton (1 mile) and Seasalter (2 miles), and there are plenty of activities to try including a range of water sports. You can also visit the cathedral city of Canterbury (7 miles), the delightful town of Herne Bay (5.5 miles) or the traditional seaside town of Margate (19 miles).

The cottage was absolutely perfect! Very comfortable, clean and with a thoughtful welcome package waiting for us on arrival. It couldn't be in a better location to walk to the shops, beach and restaurants in town and we absolutely loved it. Highly recommend - thank you!

What an amazing cottage, a proper home from home. The beds were extremely comfortable as were the sofas. It is such a quiet road, despite being 2 minutes walk from the high street, we all slept well. We had no problems with parking - either right outside or a few streets away. The only issue we had was with the disposal of our waste which I hope thRead moree owners will sort for future bookings. Whitstable is brilliant and this lovely house allows you to enjoy everything that is on offer. Hide

It is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed and the attention to detail (and kitchen fairy lights!) were greatly appreciated. We hope to come back soon!

Its a lovely little cottage which was homely & dog friendly. Beds were very comfortable didnt want to get up early at all.

What a wonderful stay at the Moorings Post in Whitstable, such a lovely decorated place, full of everything you need. All beds & sofas are very comfortable, all 6 of us were able to relax together. We only booked the night before as we were meant to be going to italy but our flights were cancelled. This place is a real find, so close to shops & pubRead mores & is a short walk to beach/harbour.
