Eider Cottage is situated in the Whitstable's conservation area, a stone's throw away from the town's beach, cafés and restaurants. It boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms over three floors, with a master bathroom with claw bath on the ground floor and an en-suite with rainforest shower on the first floor.

It has been lovingly restored and is well-equipped for families, with a large well-stocked kitchen that leads out via fully retractable glass doors to the deck and sunny garden.

Some notes:

We're proud to say we were named one of Time Out's top 8 places to stay in Whitstable in 2022.

Please note, we've decided to remove the log burner from the living room. We're very sorry if you were looking forward to it, but rest assured the house is well heated and cosy.

On parties and noise: the house is situated on a quiet residential street with houses either side and the neighbours are very sensitive to noise. If you’re planning to have a party, then this isn’t the house for you. There are plenty of brilliant pubs and restaurants a short walk away.

We're dog-friendly. Your furry friends are welcome.

Ground floor:
There is a cosy front sitting room with a large sofa and comfy armchairs. There are books along with guides to the local area so you can plan your visit. The TV is also here, and the room leads through an open plan space to the bright and glass-ended kitchen.

The living room features a hi spec TV with Netflix, board games and a record turntable.

The kitchen has been fully stocked for those who love to cook, providing everything you need to enjoy entertaining in the large, light space. There is a Dualit toaster, a washing machine, a large fridge freezer and cutlery for the kids if you need it. There is a fan oven, a gas range and a microwave. The large oak dining table comfortably sits eight plus the kids.

There is WiFi, central heating and, for younger guests, a high chair and books and games for when you've had enough of the beach.

The ground floor bathroom, a traditional feature of Whitstable's cottages, features a large claw bath with a shower along with a wash basin and WC.

First floor:
The large front bedroom is bright and airy, with a king size bed, a large wardrobe, two bedside cabinets and a chest of drawers.

Bedroom two features a double bed, a butler-style chest of drawers / wardrobe, two bedside cabinets and has access to the en suite.

The en suite features a wash basin, WC and an excellent rainforest shower for washing away the sand from day at the seaside.

Second floor:
Eider cottage is flooded with light thanks to its most remarkable feature – a large atrium space that extends between the upper two floors of the building, exposing the Victorian brickwork of the chimney shaft.

From the top landing, which has a shelf full of books and magazines, upper bedroom one enjoys views over the rooftops of Whitstable and has a comfortable double bed along with bedside tables and a chest of drawers.

The twin room has two full size single beds, plus a bedside table and a chest of drawers for clothes. This room is perfect for children – it has baskets full of toys and a great collection of kids' books.

Other things to note
Dogs are welcome! We do ask that you please keep them off the furniture and ensure they don’t defecate in the garden. The beach is a very short walk away and offers unrestricted access to dogs year-round.
