About this property

The house is a few minutes' walk from the sandy beach (The Sunday Times names "Stone Bay" as the best beach in Kent) to one side and a few minutes' walk from all the restaurants and bars to the other.

Broadstairs has a number of English Language Schools catering for individual and group learning.

The charming but spacious cottage has great character in the century-old design, wood-panelled dinning room and large secluded garden. There are 3 lovely double bedrooms, sleeping up to six, with the possibility of 2 additional cot beds. On the first floor you will find the two main bedrooms and the main bathroom (with bathtub and shower), and a separate toilet. The master bedroom to the front has wonderful sea views and the back bedroom looks over our lovely, secluded garden. Downstairs there is a dining room, a sitting room, a kitchen with an additional small dining area, a brand-new downstairs shower room and a second separate toilet. Bedroom number 3 can also be found on the ground floor, through our little 'sunroom' towards the back of the property. The sitting room has TV and DVD and there is free Wifi.

The house is situated in a lovely, tiered garden with mature shrubs and (fruit) trees, with swings, see-saw and lots of toys for children as well as books and DVDs for all ages. There is a lovely sun trap al-fresco dining area which completes the holiday feeling. We hope that you will appreciate the charm of our home as much as we do.

Please note the house has a number of steps and levels on the ground floor making it unsuitable for wheel chair users.

Perfect holiday home for families by the sea with garden

As grandparents (from Germany), parents from London with their two-sear-old twins we enjoyed a perfect holiday week. We have never com across such a well equipped, clean and lovingly prepared holiday home before. The owner was extremely helpful when preparing our stay. There was an immediate answer to every question. Als Großeltern (aus Deutschland), Eltern aus London mit ihren zwei Jahre alten Zwillingen haben wir eine perfekte Urlaubswoche genossen. Wir haben noch nie ein so gut ausgestattetes, sauberes und liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus angetroffen. Die Eigentümer waren bei der Vorbereitung unseres Aufenthaltes äußerst hilfsbereit. Auf jede Frage gab es sofort eine Antwort. Es blieben keine Wünsche offen und wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen. Broadstairs ist ein richtig schönes englisches Seebad!

Gut gelegenes geräumiges Haus in Strand- und Ortsnähe

Wir haben unseren Sommerurlaub in Broadstaires verbracht und waren von dem Ort und der Gegend mit den vielen hübschen Buchten sehr begeistert. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr nett, schon im Vorhinein wurden uns Tipps gegeben und Fragen beantwortet. Auch bei Problemen vor Ort wurde schnell reagiert und geholfen. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und ein gepflegter Garten mit Terasse schließt sich direkt an. Wir hatten ein wenig Pech, dass die Vormieter die Küche nicht so verlassen haben, wie man sich das als nachfolgender Feriengast wünscht und die Reinigungsfirma hat dies leider nicht bemerkt, weswegen die Sauberkeit der Küche für uns nicht zufriedenstellend war.

Gemütliches, liebevoll dekoriertes Haus

Wir haben die Woche in dem maritim und mit viel Liebe zum Detail dekorierten Haus sehr genossen. Wir fühlten uns sofort wohl. Es gibt drei geräumige Schlafzimmer. Highlights sind der Garten, der stilvolle Dining Room sowie der Blick aufs Meer vom vorderen Schlafzimmer. We‘d love to come back. :)

Gemütliches Häuschen

Wir haben mit unserer Familie eine Woche in diesem Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist groß und gemütlich mit drei großen Schlafzimmern. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht, der Garten ist ebenfalls groß und nicht von außen einsehbar, sodass man wirklich ungestört ist. Die Straße ist ruhig. Bis zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Gehminuten. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen und können die Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen :)

About the host

Hosted by Roger Thelwell-Pichler

We are a family from London who loves coming to stay in Broadstairs whenever possible. Our twin-girls always squeal with delight when we tell them that they will be going to the beach, building sand castles, paddling in the sea and having an ice-cream on the promenade - no matter what time of year it is. We fell in love with Broadstairs many years ago (we actually got engaged here!) and then our dream came true when we stumbled across this idyllic cottage in 2009. We have since restored it lovingly and turned it into a really cosy holiday home. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

As soon as we open the front door we immediately feel relaxed and happy to be back in our lovely holiday home.

The quietness, the tranquillity and amazing fresh-air all contribute to that holiday-feeling which will help de-stress you.

What makes this property unique

Sea views from the Master bedroom, large secluded garden, BBQ, decked out-door eating area, beautiful dinning room, close to the beach and town, quiet. Child friendly with lots of toys, books and DVDs.
