About this property

Barnaby's Lodge By The Sea. 2 Minutes walk to the beach. Dog friendly!

Broadstairs has been voted "THE BEST SEASIDE TOWN" in the South East to visit !

The cottage is within easy reach of several Blue Flag beaches, local shops, restaurants and wine bars. It is tucked away in an idyllic courtyard yet still close to all the amenities Broadstairs has to offer. The perfect bolthole for a wonderful holiday!

We are also very happy to accept dogs who i'm sure will enjoy the many lovely beach walks on your doorstep.

The cottage was built in 1640 & has the added attraction of ships timbers & beamed ceilings throughout & like the other Fishermen’s Cottages, as you enter you get the feeling of stepping back in time where the men made their living from fishing or smuggling.
This unique cottage offers 2 bedrooms, and can comfortably sleep 4 people.

The main bedroom has a king size bed and the second bedroom has a double bed.
You will also find a brand new fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and seating for 4 persons.

The lounge has faux leather sofas, a television with freeveiw and WI-FI is included.

The bathroom has a bath and shower which completes the accommodation.

Outside there is a courtyard garden with patio table and chairs. The garden is secure and child friendly, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the sunshine and have your breakfast or a glass of wine.

*All bed linen, bath and hand towels are provided.

There is also free parking on the Eastern Esplanade which again is only a couple of minutes' walk away.

There are seven golden sandy beaches to visit, these include Viking bay, Joss bay, Botany bay and there are smaller more secluded beaches if you prefer.

If you fancy a game of Golf on our famous golf courses, or a day out boat fishing, or even a trip to France for the day it is all here for you to sample.

Wonderful stay, as always

Beautiful home - we've stayed in a few of Beverley and Phil's accommodations before, and they have all been clean, perfectly located and ideal for a group of friends on a weekend away. Beverley and Phil have always been communicative, very helpful and extremely flexible, which really has made life so much easier. We'll be back next year, for sure!

Beautiful seaside break

The location was ideal. The kids LOVED the arcades near by!! Having the cottage to return to, a short walk from viking bay, meant you didnt have to spend all day that the beach. Phil and Beverley were quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you for a lovely break.

Lovely cottage in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay at Barnaby's lodge. It had all the amenities we needed for a couple of nights stay. The location was superb as it was right in the heart of Broadstairs. Despite the central location we still found it to be quiet. The beds were also very comfortable!

posizione centrale

La casa era centralissima e la posizione comoda per fare la spesa nel centro e vicina alla spiaggia. Purtroppo non c'è la lavatrice e non c'è la doccia ma solo vasca da bagno e doccia da tenere in mano e nemmeno una tenda per evitare di allagare il pavimento. Inoltre solo due cucchiaini. Il padrone gentile e disponibile. Dovrebbe prestare più attenzione ai servizi essenziali.

Historical digs, take a delightful step back in time.

Arrived at Barnaby Lodge cottage and it was 0 degrees on opening the door our thoughts were, "This is going to be cold and draughty". Nope, wrong, very toasty warm within minutes of arriving. This place was amazing. If clean is a priority , this property ticks the box, everything was immaculate. Heating facilities made it very cosy, with fully equipped kitchen and everything you need for a more than comfortable stay. The character of the place was enthralling, immersing you in the Seaside surroundings of Broadstairs. There is no parking on the property which I thought was going to be a problem but the walk to the car was approx 3 mins and most enjoyable as it was on the beach front with stunning views and crashing waves. (Park on Rectory Road and walk down the foot ramp). Two minute walk to the High Street, so no need to drive, everything is within walking distance. I will have no hesitation in returning next year. An extremely peaceful and relaxing stay. Well done Phil.

Absolutely loved this cottage. It is so cosy with everything we needed for our break with 2 dogs. Spotlessly clean. Really good communication with hosts. Right by the beach! Couldn't want for more😊 Only problem was that we had to leave😩 Highly recommend & will be visiting again soon I hope🐕🐕

Barnaby Lodge like a second home

Barnaby Lodge is always clean, tidy and stocked with the right things. Our 5th visit now, it is like a second home. As soon as we walk in the door we become relaxed and stress free. The lack of immediate parking is not an issue as Easten Esplanade is just a lovely walk round the corner. Location is perfect. Cottage is compact, bedroom good size and bed very comfortable. Even sat out on the lovely enclosed courtyard. We will be back again next year.

a great location but a little on the small side.....

It's in a fantastic location - you are pretty much in the centre of town - immediate access to the promenade, the harbour and onto Stone Bay. It's just so very weeny - fine for a couple with two kids (even then a bunk or two singles would have been better). But for four adults?..... The kitchen is so tight for space - thankfully the weather was lovely so we could sit outside but if it had rained it would have been awful. The fridge is woefully inadequate - glad we didn't do our usual big shop for the week on the way into Broadstairs like we would usually do - just about enough space for a day's food. And there is no soundproofing (the doors and old timbers and don't fit tightly) so expect to hear bathroom and bedroom noises. And it's only a shower-head over the bath with no screen or curtain. It's an old lovely property and it is in a great position but we found those issues annoying. We paid exactly the same for a harbour-side four bedroom property with two bathrooms and a further loo (admittedly outside of school holidays) in Cornwall in May and that felt a bargain. This felt a bit over-priced as it's so bijou.
