This mid-terrace cottage sleeping six in the quintessential coastal town of Whitstable is perfectly suited for families and friends. The local high street serves up an enticing selection of independent shops, eateries and pubs. The long, sheltered, shingle beach is perfect for paddling, with the adjacent coastal path inviting seaside walks. Whitstable is steeped in coastal heritage and still maintains a working harbour and Oyster beds blanketing the bay. Accordingly, Whitstable is celebrated for its annual Oyster Festival. Walk along the coastline, past the colourful beach huts at Tankerton to Herne Bay (5 miles) or along the beach in the opposite direction to Seasalter. Bring your bikes to cycle the Crab and Winkle Way, and to venture further afield, hop on the train (station within easy walking distance of the house) for a day trip to Canterbury and explore the beautiful medieval cathedral city.

Step inside this charming, three-story house with its contemporary and coastal aesthetic to enjoy the delightful, open-plan lounge/diner – the social heart of the home. The lounge hosts ample ambient seating with a Smart TV above the fireplace, perfect for a quiet movie night. The rear of this room features a dining table that sits in the light of the garden’s French doors. The kitchen is contemporary and fully equipped to a high standard for making family meals and has a small breakfast bar for chatting with the chef during meal prep. There is also a useful ground-floor shower room just away from the kitchen. After a tiring day out exploring and eating your way around Whitstable, retire upstairs to the first floor where you will find two bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the second featuring a double bed. Alighting the attic stairs, the last bedroom awaits with two single beds and a dedicated work desk. The well-appointed family bathroom has a bath with a hand-held shower and a WC.

Outside, you will find an enclosed garden with a patio area with a garden sofa, two chairs and a coffee table. Here, enjoy quiet morning cuppas or al fresco evening meals as the sun sets. There are also two deck chairs stored in the shed for trips to the beach.

Fabulous location great to have shops and restaurants on the doorstep. Fantastic seafood. lovely seaside walks - easy to drive further afield if necessary. We had a fantastic week so lucky with the weather. The cottage was very comfortable especially the main bedroom so spacious and relaxing, The kids loved the big squashy sofa.

We had such a great holiday in Whitstable and Crabby Cottage was just gorgeous. It has been decorated and equipped to a high standard and clearly is loved by the owners. The cottage was a 5 min walk to the town and beach and was surprisingly quiet. The owner was very helpful and responsive to any questions. We would definitely recommend a stay hereRead more and will always have happy memories of our stay. Hide

Overall a lovely terraced cottage perfect for a visit to Whitstable and the surrounding area. Just a five minute walk to the sea or the high street or the rail station. Great to have our own parking space at the rear of the property. Comfortable beds and lovely choice of furniture and art work throughout the cottage. Would definitely stay again.
