- susan (5/5): Ok but shabby - Beds comfortable .Apt spacious. Parking excellent. Well equipped. Provided plenty of towels and cleaning stuff plus wine biscuits and milk. WiFi good. Showers and induction hob nightmare to operate ..hob kept coming up fail. Bin awkward as no pedal and difficult for one person.
Apt shabby and in desperate need of a refurb.
Crockery and the actual drawers were filthy on arrival and I had to completely clean.

Easy walk to the beach and an easy stroll from the town centre. Fully stocked kitchen and lovey touches like some fresh milk, wine and biscuits. Lovely beds in both rooms and plenty of space in the lounge to relax and prep meals if you wanted. A lovely stay with great hosts making the booking and arrival easy.
- Danny (9/5): -
- Sharon (10/5): Had a lovely stay and the weather was good. A short walk to Whitstable, as well as bus stops and train station. Would de - Beautiful property & very spacious. Very thoughtful regarding the goody package which included the wine, milk & biscuits. Norman the owner very helpful and at hand with any questions at all times. We even got to check in earlier which was a bonus. Nothing really, other than no shower gel in bathroom.
- Delia (10/5): We ❤️ Whitstable - Nice size, clean, good location. Every amenity provided. Welcome wine & biscuits were a really nice touch, as was the milk for the desperate cuppa after our journey down!!! Pillows were a little hard for our liking but I guess that's just personal choice. Other than that, place is great!!!

- Luca (8/5): Very good -
- Jackie (10/5): Very relaxing, excellent location - Lovely clean and spacious. Loved the high ceilings. Couldn’t fault it
- Wake (7/5): Enjoyable but for the things mentioned above. - Location was good but parking was only for one car the apartment One set of keys did not work. Although advertised as wheelchair accessable the step at the door to get into the building from car park had no ramp hence we had great difficulty getting into and out of the property. The showers had no safety equipment ie. no seat or handles. Large plates cracked and only one tea towel supplied.
- Sharren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mikela (8/5): Whistable stay - The location was perfect Feather duvet
- Elaine (10/5): A great comfort base for our weekend - Ideal location for exploring the Kent coast.
Extremely clean and comfortable, will look to book again when coming this way again.
The host, Norman, was prompt and helpful in all our correspondence and his information helpful
- Sarah (9/5): Superb -
- Margarita (10/5): Short getaway will recommend 5 exchange - Large spacious living room and bedrooms. Comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean . Could not fault amenities.
- David (9/5): Whitstable is a great place for a short stay, ideally located for beach walking, running, and travel - Excellent property, very sizeable and loved the decor and the presentation. Everything worked well, well described by the owners and easy to use. Would stay here again. Nothing really, top spot.
- Sally (9/5): Superb - Beautiful apartment in a nice, quiet residential area. Great communication from host.
- Marie (9/5): We stayed away for my birthday weekend and had a cosy and welcome stay. Norman was kind and responded swiftly to mesages - It was a pleasant, comfortable and good-sized place, as advertised. The beds were comfy and the rain shower was divine! Nothing to dislike. It was a lovely space.
- Rebecca (9/5): Perfect for a weekend away. - It was great to have a parking space, location of property is just a short stroll into town / seafront. Plenty of space for two couples with each bedroom having it's own bathroom. Everything you need in the kitchen including all washing up / cleaning products. The sofa was a bit low and not very comfortable.
This isn't a criticism of the property just an FYI - if you want to go anywhere by taxi especially on a Friday / Saturday night book in advance as there aren't many available.
- Susan (8/5): Comfy but bit tired - Loved the look of the place and beds really comfortable, lovely bedding , only few things needed to make it fabulous, especially as it was more expensive than other places One bathroom was so small, and feel it needed a deep clean and had mould on ceiling , glass table in lounge has cracked and was sharp, bedroom we stayed in was cold even though the heating was on ,
- Ruth (9/5): Very enjoyable in a well fitted and equipped apartment. - The leather settee was very low which meant it was extremely difficult to get up from, especially for older people. The armchairs were fine.
- Julie (10/5): Wonderful Whitstable - The location is excellent, parking was good and the beds were very comfortable. The apartment is lovely, very quiet and has everything you need. The main sofa is a bit low, which could impact some visitors.
- Deborah (10/5): Ultra modern comfy apartment - Very modern, clean and fabulous amenities. The Tankerton Rd can get a bit noisy late at night
- Lesley (8/5): Very good - Very spacious apartment close to the centre of Whitstable.
Good kitchen and utility room. Comfortable beds. Nice decor throughout. Noisy and busy road.
It was windy weather during our stay and the windows literally rattled and the blinds blew in the wind inside the apartment so sleeping wasn’t easy.
- Martha (10/5): A lovely, relaxing weekend in a clean , beautifully decorated flat - It was a delightful flat with everything you’d want for the weekend. They even left us milk, a bottle of wine and cookies. Norman even made sure the flat was ready for us at 1:30 on the Saturday . Maybe a little food waste bin … otherwise nothing to complain about
- Diane (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful accommodation with everything you needed in a perfect location for the heart of Whitstable. Nothing
- Beech (10/5): Perfect stay , wish we had booked longer as the weather was also good!! - Location, near to Tankerton Slopes, Castle Park , harbour. Shops both in Tankerton and Whitstable. Good selection of restaurants. Apartment, layout, warmth, privacy, location . Comfy beds with good quality bed linen and towels. Utility room. Spacious bedrooms , southerly aspect so when sunny it was really warm and bright.
Owner responded very quickly to a small problem. Lots of essential supplies available. Washer dryer was useful
Lift to first floor was essential for me . There was road noise but it did not spoil our enjoyment. Step to front door of main building was high, I am mobility impaired and use a walker so this is of importance to me.
The flat would have been perfect for a wheelchair user with limited mobility, as it is very spacious with wide doors and corridors. I would check whether the wheelchair would fit into the lift and bring a portable ramp for the front door to the building so a wheelchair user could enter.
- Louise (10/5): Totally wonderful, absolutely amazing, would love to go back - It was absolutely beautiful 😻 we loved everything about it, the size, the decor, the location, it was perfectly amazing 🤩 Nothing
- Sandra (10/5): Excellent with some very good restaurants and friendly people and very comfortable accommodation. - Good location. Having tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine waiting for us was a lovely touch. Thank you Norman. Really enjoyed stay with our friends, everything you could wish for a lovely break.
- Helen (10/5): Comfortable, well kitted out and peaceful - Really comfortable beds, plenty of bright space, well equipped kitchen including pods for coffee machine, tea bags,sugar,fresh milk as well as a bottle of wine and box of biscuits, really couldn’t ask more. All good
- Daryl (10/5): Very pleasant stay and the exchange is located in a good position to access every thing -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (9/5): Comfy apartment , close to the beach and some good restaurants - Loved the location, just a few minutes from the beach. Easy walk to several good restaurants in Tankerton, an area we really loved. Lift to the apartment was useful. Nice bedding.
