At one point during our week we were a full house, including four legged friend, and there was ample space for us to spread out or socialise together over a meal or board game. Good array of pots, pans, etc in the kitchen.

We loved our stay at Shanty Shanty. Comfy and warm with everything we needed. The furnishings were good quality and I loved all the art works on the walls and the gorgeous garden too. We love Whitstable and will definitely book this place again.

Lovely cottage ideally located for Whitstable harbour and shops. Great base for exploring nearby places. Dover Castle is well worth a visit. The cottage has everything you need especially in the kitchen. Plenty of space for a family. We are a family of four. We had a comfortable stay so peaceful and the garden is amazing.

Lovely house that was very well equipped. Small but surprisingly spacious to accommodate 4 adults, 2 pre-teens and a Labrador! Fantastic location with everything close by.
