Newden Cottage Reviews

Kathleen
Back door would not close, so we could not lock! No food caddy to recycle left over food or peelings. Upstairs shower only had VERY hot water no cold! This property is in a good location but it really needs a bit of TLC.
Lovely cottage and a fantastic location for a short stay in the beautiful town of Whitstable. We thought parking would be an issue, but we were always able to get within around 20 metres of the property, and most days, right outside.
We loved the house. It was very comfortable, attractive and well equipped. The location is perfect, close to all that the town has to offer yet felt tucked away and peaceful. Would really like to return.
Great location for a short stroll to the high street and beach and being able to get around by public transport bus and train, which is good because parking looks challenging. Pretty much everything needed was available, including shampoo and shower gel which was a nice surprise, although we didn't really cook because there are so many nearby places for food. Whitstable is a lovely town and really nice walking on the front between Seasalter and Tankerton.
Hilary
This is a lovely property. It's inviting, attractive, warm and clean. A short stroll to the shops and then the beach makes it a really good place to stay. The host could not have been more helpful. We would love to return.
Cheryl
Lovely property. Great layout and high standard of fittings. Loved the sofa in the kitchen very sociable. Bathrooms and showers of good standard and beds very comfy. Very peaceful and short walk to the beach. Didnt take our dog with us in the end but no dog smells from others very clean. Would definitely recommend to others.
Heather
Great cottage very clean and very high standard throughout. It was a bit more than we'd normally spend on renting a holiday house but our daughter's wedding in the area required us to be there. Parking was a little challenging. I did more parallel parking in that week than I have done in the last year!
Great location, lovely house . Almost faultless apart from the mattress in the front bedroom which needs replacing. My back knew all about it towards the end of the week! Better quality sheets in this room and twin is the only other thing which would much improve the experience in this lovely place to stay.
A lovely house, really clean and comfortable and with almost everything you need. Despite the train line running opposite the front of the house, it was extremely quiet and the trains were no bother at all quieter than any traffic would be. We found a parking space with no problem and enjoyed being able to walk around the corner to the town, its shops, restaurants and pubs and down to the harbour the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here and would happily stay again. Small additions to the kitchen equipment and some pegs for washing would make it complete.
Rachel
Thank you so much. We really enjoyed our stay. Lovely, welllocated house. Everything simple and easy to use. Very much appreciated your welcome box. Whos table is a great place to stay!
Elizabeth
We loved this house, simple and classic. Stayed here for 3 weeks. My husband & I, with our daughter & granddaughter & a doggo. Everything we needed, great location & free on road parking a real bonus in Whitstable.
Raymond
Generally everything was OK, but there were a few points that if improved would make the experience so much better. The information book was lacking and inconsistent, some info on white goods in the book other info in drawers, no local info but there was a menu was for Xmas! knives so blunt they should have been thrown away, however, during the week we discovered new set hidden in a drawer, only 8 coat hangers between 3 bedrooms, luckily M&S in Canterbury gave us more. Listing is for 6 but no pan or pot big enough to hold food for 6. Outside table and chairs only suitable for 4. BBQ but no metal tools. Inside of oven needed cleaning, there was no grill pan. Ironing board cover not fit for purpose. Sweeping brush needing fixing to handle. Toilet brushes and holders needed cleaning or replacing. WiFi speed was abysmal and unsecure.
What a wonderful cottage its not too far from Whitstable main shops and harbour so many kitchen utensils and plates, glasses, etc v well maintained just one or two little things that need attention like the door bar in the bedroom, but v minor lovely garden area with tables and chairs and to top it off they left a great guests box of delights for us! ! Thks for a wonderful stay x
Sandra
Lovely cottage. Very well set up and immaculate facilities. Close to town centre and to station. I've stayed in many holiday rentals but this is the first time I've been asked to strip the beds. I thought that was a bit much, considering I paid 200 per night for 3 of us. They have 5 hours between lettings to clean the house, and that cost is included in the letting price.
Olivia
We had a fantastic stay in Whitstable. The house was amazing and had everything we needed. Such a nice gesture to give us a welcome pack too. Thank you. Very comfortable beds and plenty of everything we needed during our stay. We will definitely book again!
Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring Whitstable. We had a great stay, thanks for all the goodies on arrival.
We really enjoyed our stay in Whitstable. The house is well proportioned and in a good state of repair. The two negatives we would like to report are 1 the garden is in a deplorable state. Judging by the size of the weeds it hasn't received any attention for some time. In advance of our visit it hadn't even been swept. I hope it gets sorted before future guests arrive. 2 cooking pots. There were 3 saucepans, all perfectly serviceable though a larger one would have been useful. However, there was no oven proof casserole dish there were 3 other pan lids in addition to the above which presumably once fitted potspans that are no longer there. We wanted to cook several times during our stay and this pot shortage severely limited our options. Will leave it to you to decide whether to publish these comments.
Prior to arrival worried that car parking might be a real problem as we travelled in two cars. In the event we managed to find spaces in Clifton Road which is quite narrow. The location of Newden Cottage is very close to Main shopping Street and only a short walk to the nearest beach which can be quickly accessed by using the short cuts through the signposted alleys.
Bridget
We really enjoyed staying at Newden Cottage great place & location. Its very light and spacious, but also feels comfortable too. The only improvement Id make is to the information provided to guests on arrival eg WiFi instructions, heating instructions, whereabouts of washing machine. etc etc
Whitstable is perfect for a dog friendly base. Two minor comments on the cottage no means of making coffee, so take a cafetire and the living room really only seats four adults. Overall it was lovely though. We were lucky to find a parking space outside the house!
The cottage has everything you need for a pleasant stay. We found the beds to be exceptionally comfortable and slept well. Parking can be challenging at certain points of the day but we managed to find a space even if it was a bit further along the road. The landlord was very helpful and contacted us directly to arrange a convenient day for cleaning. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. We would highly recommend Newden Cottage.
Parking is an absolute nightmare!
Only problem was parking , not sure if it was mentioned in the write up. no space outside or anywhere near most of the time
Johann
The cottage is very conveniently located with the high street, super markets very close by and the beach just a short walk away. The street is quiet and the cottage is surrounded by pretty and well kept houses. The kitchen was well equipped, there was plenty of sitting space including a very nice sitting corner in a quiet garden. We stayed three days and very much enjoyed our stay.
Jennifer
This lovely house ticked all the boxes for our family holiday, ages 82 years 18 months. Easy walking distance from the station. Pleasant traffic free walk into town, via the golf course and beach. Secure back garden for children and dog. Lockable outhouse for the cycle. Quiet little road, only 2 minutes walk to nearest supermarket and bus stop. The house was spotlessly clean, beds comfy, showers hot, kitchen well equipped great set of sharp knives . Thoroughly recommended.
