About this property
This timber framed bungalow is situated in the village of Seasalter, Kent, a little coastal estuary town next to its busier neighbour Whitstable. Equally perfect for families or friends, Smallcroft is a ground floor retreat with a light and fresh interior, welcoming guests to its doors all-year-round. Comprising a collection of quality rooms, this cottage has been thoughtfully designed to promote comfort and relaxation every day of your holiday. Inside, discover a contemporary kitchen backed by deep red tiles, and a comfy lounge/diner where you can gather together with your loved ones, morning through to evening. There is a collection of bedrooms to choose from as the night draws in, including a double with bedside tables and a chest of drawers, a stylish twin, and a single option which also features a trundle bed should you wish to bring along extra guests. The shower room is decorated in a marble effect, somewhere of quality to get ready during your stay. Outside is just as appealing, previewing a raised decked area with furniture, as well as a lower tier with comfy seating, your homely place to relax under the sunshine. The beach at Seasalter is mainly shingle and sand and therefore quieter than the sandy bays at Westgate-on-Sea which is just along the coast. Whitstable is a quaint coastal town, with cobbled streets, quirky shops and a well-visited fishing harbour. Take a trip to Faversham where you can take a guided tour. A charming holiday experience to build some memories.
The beach at Seasalter is mainly shingle and sand and therefore quieter than the more sandy bays at Westgate-on-Sea which is just along the coast. Seasalter Sailing Club, which has a clubhouse on Faversham Road, hosts catamaran boats which race on the River Swale Estuary. Canterbury is ideal for a day exploring historic houses, taking walks or boat trips along the river, visiting a museum or two, a theatre evening or just enjoying a browse around the shops.

There is generous off-street parking and it is in a pleasant and safe area. The bungalow itself has a good holiday feel and has a large garden. It is well maintained and cared for by Jo, the owner. She is always on hand to deal with any issues arising. In general, a home from home for us.

that we needed. Essentials such as washing-up liquid, toilet rolls, tea, coffee, sugar, fresh milk and biscuits were there when we arrived. There was also a beautifully decorated Christmas Tree for our pre-Christmas stay. Jo was very helpful and replied promptly to any queries that I had (by text). Location was good for the North Kent Coast. I would recommend Smallcroft to others and we would seek to rent it again if we return to the area.

All the rooms were of a good size and that includes the bedrooms. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of everything so the use of the dishwasher is very economical. The lounge/diner had comfortable furniture and the substantial dining table was of a good size with comfortable chairs. Had the weather been a bit kinder we would have used the outside space for relaxing and dining in the evenings as the furniture provided was excellent. The location was ideal for us with nothing too far away and Whitstable is in easy walking distance even for our two young grand children. The Rose in Bloom pub/restaurant is a 10min walk and worth a visit either for a drink or tasty meal. The local beaches at Seasalter and Whitstable are nothing special so it is worth the 30 mins drive to sandy Minnis Bay (Birchington) where parking is free along the promenade plus there are the usual facilities such as toilets, restaurants, cafes and other types of food and drink outlets. It is worth checking tide times beforehand though as high tide does reach the prom walls. The owner Jo was lovely and very welcoming and keeps the property in excellent condition and we are already making plans to return there at some stage in the future.
