The Garden House Cottage, Whitstable

Great little place, ideal for the town and sea front.

Nice little cottage ideal for a short stay, with a great location. Bus stop right outside that goes to Canterbury, recommended. Only issue i had was the key in the lockbox is for the backdoor which is a very strange way of doing things in my opinion ? Otherwise has everything needed.

We loved this cottage. It was very homely and had all the facilities you need. It is very clean and well appointed with a small patio outside. It was very convenient for visiting other local towns in the area. The bus stop is right outside and the train station is about a 15 minute walk. Whitstable town is lovely and has lots of pubs, restaurants and cafes. It is about 15 minute walk into Whitstable or a short bus ride.

Everything was lovely. Shower very good .Comfortable bed but we did pull it out because at 80 I didnt want to clamber over a sleeping partner! Had fun working out how to use the appliances because they are all too smart for me! Marion very kindly let our daughter stay after we all had a sickness bug. I hope putting back the sofa bed didnt cause too much of a headache. A North wind did blow but we didnt have snow just no swimmingbut some lovely walks with the dog

I really enjoyed my stay at the cottage. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable with everything I needed. I hadn't used an air fryer before but found it perfect for cooking my fish and chips. Only a short walk to the sea front and shops and the owner Marion who lives next door was really friendly and helpful during my stay. Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely stay, just a couple of minutes from the beach. Lots of space with everything I needed. I didn't use the shared garden as felt it would intrude on the people staying in the garden house but was able to take my dog for quick short walks just outside the front of the house. I struggled with the heating but didn't really need it after the first day or 2. If staying in the winter, it may need some clearer instructions. The sofa was not as comfortable as it could be. Overall had a lovely stay, thank you.

Very cosy cottage, close to all amenities, everything you could ask for, sofa has seen its years, just needs replacing, or supply two cosy arm chairs. Pillows were flat would have brought my own. 2 min walk to all shops and to the beach, great for walking the dog, would recommend this cottage to others.

Lovely cottage and well equipped. Not so keen on polyester duvet but just my preference. Couldnt get heating to work but Marian the owner very helpful. Pity about the building works opposite as made it difficult to enter the drive. Very convenient for bus and town and my dog loved the 2 minute walk to the sea. Would go again but bring my own duvet

We had a very nice stay at the cottage. We met the owner who was very helpful. Car parking very handy, the position of the cottage is great for access to all areas of the town and shops. Also it is very easy to get to the routes out to the rest of the Kent.

It's a lovely, modern, and wellmaintained property. It was very clean, the bathroom is great, and the WiFi worked well. Parking is secure. The location is excellent just a short walk into the harbour and town centre and Whitstable is very lovely. Would use again.

Nice and light and airy. A great location with the all important off street parking. Air fryer was a revelation, instructions in the bottom drawer. Lovely walk in shower and only a nice stroll into town. Stop at Ark music and coffee on your way in. We'll be back.

As there was no cooker at the property it would have been useful to have had an instruction manual for the ninja fryer, for people like myself who have not used one before. Also strange there was an ironing board but no iron. Have stayed at many of Sykes cottages, but this is the first where there has been no sort of welcome on arrival or any advise on the area,in fact had there been a problem there wasnt anyone to contact, very impersonal. On the good side once we found our way around the area, the cottage is in an excellent position for exploring Whitstable.

The property generally was quite good but with a few problems. 1. The wooden slats under the mattress were damaged causing the mattress to fall though them the first time I used it. I managed to patch them up temporarily. 2. The bedding was awful. All polyester causing my wife and I to sweat profusely, made worse by the warm weather. We ended up buying a new cotton duvet cover, sheet and pillowcases. 3. The shower was excellent one of the best I have ever used but the shallowness of the shower tray meant I had to keep checking to see if it was overflowing. 4. WiFi. Couldn't get it to work on any of our devices. Maybe it was my ineptitude. Maybe it was the complicated password which had been written with amendments added to it. Very frustrating. I gave up with it. 5. The Ninja had not been washedcleaned prior to our arrival. There was a significant amount of oil and food residue left in it. I cleaned the inside containers myself but they were pretty grubby and needed soaking, suggesting to me they had not been cleaned properly for some time. 6. The house itself was good apart from the above niggles. The location was fantastic with easy walking access to the beach, Whitstable and Tankerton. The bus stopping outside was a real bonus allowing us to travel to Canterbury and Herne Bay. 7. Sykes. I didn't like doing business with the rental company. I thought the tone of their emails to be abrupt bordering on threatening. I was surprised by the booking fee. They charged me for a pet which I did not request. I won't book through them again.

Small but adequate, comfortable very clean,in a wonderful location. Near the beach ,very close to Whitstable, herne bay 10 mins drive.bus stop just outside.quite neighbour hood.very much recommend
