About this property

Painter Cottage is a perfect family holiday home very close to the town centre.

Painter Cottage is a light and airy 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom property just a short stroll to the beach and town centre.

You check in using a key box code. I am however local to the area, so if you need anything or have any questions, I am only a phone call away and a short drive!

The cottage is situated right in the heart of Whitstable with restaurants, bars, cafes, pubs, great fish and chips and independent shops. The historic harbour is a few minutes walk away. It is easy to visit other nearby places of interest, including Canterbury – a short bus ride from Harbour Street or London by train.
You can walk along the coast to Tankerton or to Seasalter, past the pretty beach huts and if you are up to it you can walk all the way to Herne Bay. Bicycles can be hired nearby and you can follow coastal paths or the 'Crab and Winkle' line to Canterbury.

You have access to all areas in the property apart from the cupboard in the bathroom.

After a fun day at the beach, this charming fisherman’s cottage located in the heart of Whitstable's conservation area, is perfect to stroll home to. The artistic decor is fresh, light and comfortable, with all the things you need to feel at home. You walk straight into the cosy living room and through to the dining room, seating 4-6. The long, well-equipped kitchen, complete with dishwasher and washing machine, stretches to the patio doors and contains a table and chairs from where to enjoy a coffee in the morning, looking out on to the sunny garden. There is a convenient modern wet room with WC on the ground floor too which is very handy after you've strolled home from a dip in the sea. Upstairs you will find a large, bright bathroom with bath, WC and basin, and two bedrooms; one double and one twin, both with original decorative fireplaces.

Thank you for visiting wonderful Whitstable and welcome to Painter Cottage. I hope you enjoy your stay here and build many happy memories of your seaside visit. I came to Whitstable for the first time only a few years ago and immediately knew this house would be a perfect studio and backdrop for my painting, taking advantage of the beautiful setting and wonderful Whitstable light. I discovered the previous owner was a local artist and so the dream of Painter Cottage was born. Whitstable has a thriving Arts community and many interesting galleries you might like to visit during your stay. I will be supporting artists by featuring their art in Painter Cottage for guests to enjoy.
If you are interested in speaking to any of the artists about possibly buying one of their paintings, you will find their details on the tag on each painting.

There is free street parking on the road and surrounding roads. The nearest paid parking is Victoria Street or Gladstone Road car park. You can view the charges on the Canterbury City Council website. Parking can be limited in the high season but once you have parked up, you are close enough to walk into town, beach, shops etc.

You can also visit the 'Just Park' website to find out where to park in Whitstable.

There are frequent busses running from Whitstable to Herne Bay and Canterbury. You will find bus stops along Harbour Street, High Street, Oxford Street etc.

The trains from Whitstable station will take you to Ramsgate or further afield to London. Whitstable Train Station is about a 10 minute walk to the town centre.

Whitstable Taxi services are available for short fares or airport runs.
