    The cottage was exactly as advertised very cosy and everything in place. The host was excellent with communication and excellent to deal with throughout. Very well situated, garden lovely close to everything ie pubs, restaurants , beach and the high street with wonderful shops.

    The home is beautiful and exactly as per the images. It's comfortable, the kitchen is fully functional with gas cooker and excellent cookware, the showers are hot and powerful, the bath relaxing, the garden and garden room lovely. There's loads of little additions like a record player that adds great atmosphere and the toys and games. The baby cot bed was comfortable and our daughter slept well. Overall very homely and we loved it, so recommend.

    The extra touches make this a delightful place to rent. Parking can be tough and heed the warning of the steep stairs, however, location is fantastic and owners are very responsive. We will definitely stay again.

    We loved this cottage. Very welcoming and it met every expectation and more. It was at the end of a close so very peaceful, a hop, skip and jump away from the high street and 5 mins away from the sea. We hope to be back one day very soon.

    Lovely property with everything you need and chic vintage style which we loved. Perfect for us, our grown up children and dog! Perfect location. Stairs are very steep so would not be good for anyone who struggles with stairs as the host does point out!

    Lovely house. Quirky as expected. Everything we required. Great location for walking around Whitstable and the nearby coastline. Hosts quick to answer any questions. Would recommend.

    Another great stay at Cooks Cottage - a special place in a central location which was ideal for access to shopping, cycling and water sports activities. The cottage was clean and tidy, with plenty of charming features, including a vinyl record player and private outdoor seating for relaxed family dinners.
