I really enjoyed my week staying at the Broomes. It is a lovely, welcoming flat, very comfortable and well equipped. It is situated at the harbour end of Tankerton Road. Buses to Canterbury and Herne Bay go from Beach Walk, less than a 5 minute walk away at the bottom of the road. The railway station is a level 10-15 minute walk as are the shops and restaurants on Harbour Road, High Street and Oxford Street. Tankerton beach is just round the corner as is the castle. I recommend the tearoom for a light lunch or cakes. Going left from Beach Walk takes you along the seawall to the harbour and beyond. A week wasn't long enough. I would love to stay at The Broomes again and potter, soaking up the lovely atmosphere of Whitstable.

Location was fantastic, walking distance to everything in & around Whitstable. It was our first time to Whitstable & definitely won’t be our last.Thank you so much for such a memorable holiday, we will be back.
