Great position with a sea view, very comfortable for two or three guests. Characterful and historic looking building. Easy on-street parking. Plenty of eating options in walking distance and easy access to the beach (via steps or a steep slope).

9 Coastguard Retreat: a well appointed cottage with a welcoming atmosphere. Beautifully decorated with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Situated in a quiet location with sea views. Located a 15 minute walk from the town centre. Easy access to transport links to visit Broadstairs etc, with plenty to see locally. (See guest information folder)I would happily return without hesitation.
