About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Neptune Cottage is a Victorian terraced house in Whitstable's conservation area, a two-minute walk from all that Whitstable has to offer; Beach, Working Harbour, boutique shops and wonderful seaside pubs and restaurants. There are three spacious bedrooms on the first floor decorated in Farrow and Ball colours and with crisp white Soak and Sleep bedding and luxury mattresses. The master bedroom has a new king size, John Lewis Hypnos mattress and the middle bedroom has a new double. The twin room features a Heals store bed allowing the room to be used as either a twin or single; please us know if you would like the room set up as a single room. The open plan living/dining area is equipped with stylish sofas and a wood burning stove for cozy and warm winter nights in front of the fire. We have a beautiful garden with olive trees, and a lawn as well as a fabulous outdoor seating area on the decking where you can enjoy the sea air in the peace and calm of our lovely neighbourhood. Our dining room features a range of stylish lamps, down-lighters and dimmable ceiling lights offering different options for mood lighting. We are keen cooks, so the kitchen is extremely well equipped with everything needed to cook delicious meals celebrating the wonderful produce available locally from the sea and Romney Marsh. Whitstable is a thriving and characterful town famous for its native Oysters and locally caught crab and lobster; the beautiful sunsets are legendary and much loved by painters and photographers alike. With miles of stunning coastline, even in high season, you can find yourself a secluded beach between the groynes to sunbathe, swim or picnic. As well as offering the obvious pleasures of the sea, Whitstable is also a thriving port and town with freshly caught local fish , superb restaurants and amazing beach pubs where you can enjoy the famous sunsets with a glass of chilled wine in hand. We have lots of interesting independent shops and local artists. There is an alternating weekly antique and farmers market where you can enjoy meeting local producers and enthusiasts. There are lots of exciting activities to keep an active family busy and we are happy to offer you recommendations of things to do as well as a restaurant guide. As a family some of our favourite things to do are swimming in the sea, cycling along the coast (we have a lovely cycle hire shop nearby and crabbing in the harbour. For the more adventurous there are also windsurfing lessons and organised boat trips to the famous Maunsell sea forts. Historic Canterbury is a short bus ride away and of course Margate and the Turner Contemporary are easily accessible by train. Neptune Cottage is just over an hour away from London (train or car) and Canterbury is only 7 miles away. You can even cycle to Canterbury from Neptune Cottage in under 40 mins along the wonderful Crab and Winkle Way. All the original paintings in Neptune Cottage are of Whitstable beach and are painted by local artists. Please let us know if you would be interested in commissioning your own!

Neptune cottage is in a great location, close to the seafront and center of town with all the shops and restaurants. The property has a nice little garden and is clean, a cosy cottage with a good well equipped kitchen. Communication with the owner was excellent, very friendly and provided good recommendations for places to eat. Would highly recommend the place.
Beautiful house. Everything has been thought out to make you feel welcome and has a real home from home feel. We went to Whitstable for a weekend break - what a great place to explore, walks, great food and pubs what more can you ask for.
Perfect stay for a couple of days. Even better than the photos. Great location with everything you need in an easy walkable distance. Sophie was great with communication and was happy to answer any questions. Would stay again!

Wonderful, charming cottage. Plenty of space with a wonderful yard! Great location, close to town!
We loved our stay here! The cottage was a relaxing, perfect place to come home to. It was beautifully decorated with everything we needed.
We enjoyed a great stay . The property was close to the shops, great restaurants and beach . The house was really cosy and clean and our host responded immediately to any queries . She also provided great tips for nearby restaurants . The Lobster Shack was a big hit !
Our stay was fantastic. The house was perfect and cozy for our family of 5. so much to do and some great places to eat. We also loved the accessibility of the area as we are big walkers. Do yourselves a favor and book the house now for your next trip. Lastly, the kitchen was well equipped.

Really lovely property in a great location.
Thoughly enjoyed our stay at Nepture Cottage. Small problem getting the shower to work was fixed on the same day as reported to manging agent. Comfy beds and everything you need for a relaxing short-break.
Sophie's property is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay with a toddler and dog. Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds and sun trap garden, and located a short walk from the town. We parked easily on the next street and didn't touch our car again. Sophie's communication was amazing and it was lovely meeting her at check in. We'll be back - thank you!

Neptune cottage Whitstable
Very nicely decorated house . Comfortable interior. Parking was dreadful . Unable to park near the property, sometimes streets away . Lack of bedroom storage in two of the bedrooms. Very nice garden with outside seating . Terrace house with another rental property one side of it . There were very noisy tenants one side of us . They kept us awake into the early hours of the morning!
Zusammen mit unserem Hund und unseren 2 Teenagern hatten wir eine sehr schöne Woche in diesem hübschen englischen Häuschen. So zentral gelegen, dass wir die ganze Woche ohne Auto unterwegs waren. Der Ort Whitstable ist besonders für Urlaub mit Hund geeignet, weil Hunde so gut wie überall gern gesehen sind.
Stylish 3 Bedroom Cottage close to shops and beach
The cottage was beautifully furnished and well maintained. Beds were really comfy and bedrooms were a good size. The location was really good with just a short walk to shops, station and beach. Recommend this property......we enjoyed our 7 day stay.

Easter 🐣 in Whitstable
My family enjoyed a very comfortable stay- the house is lovely- decor modern, beds comfortable, bedding lovely too. The children loved the garden and we all enjoyed the wood stove.
It is so easy to get to the seafront that we didn’t move the car at all after finding a nearby parking space.
Certainly recommend for families.
