The location is highly praised for being close to the seafront, shops, and restaurants, with a quiet setting. It's considered perfect for enjoying Whitstable's charm.
The cottage is described as spacious for two, cosy for more, and homely. However, some guests noted the steep stairs could be a comfort issue for some.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being well-equipped. However, there are mentions of a boiler issue, suggesting some room for improvement in maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score cannot be assessed.
