“Ok but not again”
+Location was nice. But it does have good access for older people.
−No tv and mum had no internet all weekend. Also no comfortable chair to sit on only a so that’s not very comfy. Only high chairs outside. Would not book it again. It’s not a stand alone place as part of the main house would be fine. Expensive for what you got.

“Be careful if your booking the ground floor of this cottage. As it has 3 bits to it.”
+We liked the fact it was close to all amenities. The view of the sea from the property was a bonus.
−The fact that it did not come with parking! We found a cheaper place to park in Victoria Street. But it was pay by Ringo. Unfortunately you can't pay for the whole day. Only a few hours at a time at £1.90 per hour. So had to set an alarm for 7.30am to pay for the parking everyday. Then every few hours of the next day and night. So felt like I couldnt properly relax. Also the cottage did not have a TV, only a radio. Luckily we found a pub to watch the England match. Also it didn't come with a microwave or cooking facilities. So you had to go out to eat. So the price of the cottage was a bit expensive.

“Best views and location in Whitstable”
+Location location location. Deckchairs included, large room.
−Parking would have been nice but various car parks are close by. Not sure why they don’t just have a lock box vs having to pick up keys from the hotel 10 min walk away

“The location was fab. Very big room, fantastically clean. Needs blackout blinds to sleep.”
+The location was fab. Very big room, fantastically clean. New bathroom.
−They need to invest in BLACKOUT roller blinds in the bedroom, light poured in from 4am and then I was awake. Not great when you come away for a night.

+Location, staff and service. If you are looking for a seaview and a bit of character, perfect.
−Seagulls at 4am. Blimely they can make a racket.

“Relaxed & chilled few days in great location”
+Fantastic location, spacious & well furnished & decorated
−Kitchen layout, no head high cupboards for crockery which meant limited utensils, crockery etc. Could do with a pair or scissors. A couple of things need fixing - main bedroom/bathroom door does not stay shut - had to put bin in front to prevent opening/lights out/flickering in 2nd on suite bedroom.

+The location was right on the beach front. On a very hot couple of days, the room was very cool and comfortable. While not a proper kitchen, it was adequately stocked for an overnight stay. Deckchairs for the beach were a big bonus.
−Only after booking was it explained that key collection was not at the cottage, but a 10/15 minute walk away at a hotel (on the other side of town if coming from the train station). Staff at the hotel seemed very stressed and were quite abrupt when I asked them to clarify where to leave the keys after checkout (as it's in a lockbox, closer to the cottage). Met others checking out that had the same experience and were unclear what to do. The room and bathroom has people passing right by the windows so it means, if you want privacy, blinds have to be closed. Quite a noisy location at night as at the centre of the action. Could be tricky with kids or for someone with mobility issues.
