Nicely located for the beach and local shops. A nice amble on the coastal path into Whitstable. Very clean accommodation with everything you need, and a lovely private secure garden for dogs, and humans, to enjoy. Whilst some things need updating it doesn’t detract from the comfort of the house. Great communication from the owners too. A great base for visiting the Kent coastline and visiting Canterbury. I hope to return and stay here again.

We enjoyed our week at the Palms. It is a lovely comfortable house with plenty of room. The garden is fully enclosed so the dog could be let out safely. The beach is within easy walking distance. Whitstable, Faversham and the North Kent coast within easy reach by car.
