A Beautiful, Spacious Cottage, Only A Short Walk To The Beach (Child friendly)

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 in a Great Location
Wow! We usually head for the West Country or Wales for holidays. We absolutely loved charming Broadstairs and the Kent coast. We were all delighted with our stay in this beautiful home. We loved the garden, the space in the house. It was so well appointed. We were all impressed and would love to stay again next time we are Broadstairs bound. So many happy memories from our weeks stay.

Getaway to Kent
This is a spacious house with excellent furnishing and well equipped kitchen, easy to use cooker. Ideally situated for walking into Broadstairs for an evening meal or lunch, and with a short walk from the house to Stone Bay but steps down to the beach. The only thing lacking were bath mats and hand towels in the toilets, otherwise superb. Many thanks for the use of, would definitely return.

Sandy Bay Cottage
The cottage was very nice and in a very good area of Broadstairs. There wasn’t a checkin-process, we picked up the key from a special place. We didn’t have any communication with the property manager. However we did feel overall it needed some TLC.

A beautifully presented house, close to the beach and the shops.
We have had a lovely holiday in Broadstairs and Sandy Bay cottage is located brilliantly, close enough to walk to the beach but far enough away from the bustle of the town to be relaxing.
