Description

Located in a side street off the delightful Harbour Street, this quirky cottage (which was formerly the town’s sweet shop) is in the perfect position to enjoy all that Whitstable has to offer. It is just yards from the independent boutique shops, the pubs, cafes and restaurants, and also yards from the beach and harbour. The decor is an eclectic mix of nautical, film and music and offers a cosy sitting room with log-burner, an open-plan dining room with door to the enclosed patio garden, kitchen and downstairs bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with a third twin bedroom being on the second floor. So, whether you want to be out and about on the water or on the beach, listening to live music, exploring the local arts and crafts or simply chilling at the cottage, this property is the ideal base.

Reviews

Fabulous location

Ms L,

Property was clean, very well equipped and lovely and warm when we arrived. The sweets were a really lovely touch (apologies one of our party was quite partial to them!!) Beds were comfy, everything in walking distance so well located. Everything seemed to have been thought about a very lovely stay would highly recommend.

Miss G,

We had a lovely stay at the sweet shop. The cottage has everything you would need for a wonderful stay. The steps are very steep so I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone with a disability. Beds are comfortable. Log fire is amazing. Location is great.

Mrs J,

Nicely decorated cottage in a very good position. Whitstable is lovely, but parking is a challenge. Very steep stairs but a good handrail so as long as you take care you should be alright. Cottage more suitable size for 4 rather than 6. Fully enclosed garden for the dogs was good.

Mr B,

Charming little house. Fantastic location as in walking distance to the town centre, harbour and beach.

Mrs N,

Great location, walking distance to everything. Very steep stairs especially to the Attic room.

Mrs G,

Lovely location. Near to all major tourist attractions. Facilities were good.

Mrs D,

This is a lovely house in a really good location only minutes away from the sea. The finishing touch of the welcome pack was very thoughtful.

Mrs D,

A great cottage so close to the sea, shops & harbour in Whitstable. Lovely sheltered garden and great pub down the road. The sweets are a fantastic touch and we really enjoyed our short stay here.

Mrs K,

Well equipped, great location. Roadside parking available but not always nearby. Very steep stairs but a good relaxing stay - thank you!

Previous Customer,

Beautiful little cottage in the perfect position for access to the sea and the shops and restaurants. Very clean and nicely decorated. Perhaps sensible to be aware of the extremely steep stairs.

Mrs R,

Lovely house & the location is great, close to the High Street, restaurants, pubs & beach. We stayed for Christmas 2023, the High Street was beautifully lit & the house itself very warm & cosy. Owners provided a decorated Christmas Tree, wood for the burner & a hamper on arrival. We had all we needed for a four night stay & would love to come back again!

Mrs J,

The Old Sweet Shop is a wonderful property pretty much in the heart of Whitstable. Its location is ideal for the beach and the lovely high street. We loved that the property was decoarated for Christmas, featuring a real Christmas tree too. The property is very clean, well maintained and had lovely little nod to its past with a selection of sweets you can help yourself to!

Mr B,
