FAGIN’S DEN
The town of Broadstairs is steeped in history and charm and has been captivating visitors for generations - we guarantee you will be given a warm and friendly welcome! Fagin’s Den is a fantastic base from which to explore everything the town and surrounding area has to offer and is a truly unique holiday experience to enjoy all year round!
Built in around the 1860's, the cottage is within easy reach of several Blue Flag beaches, local shops, excellent restaurants and wine bars. It has two bedrooms and can comfortably sleep four people. We are also very happy to accept dogs.
Fagin’s Den is our newest venture and is the very first Dickensian themed holiday cottage in the UK – but please don’t let that put you off if you’re not the biggest Dickens fan! Whilst the cottage was named after the character Fagin from Oliver Twist and has been completely refurbished in a Victorian style, all the modern-day luxuries you’d expect in a holiday let are still included. Both Dickens enthusiasts and those less familiar with his work can all enjoy this unique experience. Furniture, memorabilia, books, games and artwork in the cottage create an ambience of the Victorian era but the property is well equipped to be just a holiday let if you simply want somewhere to stay whilst you explore the local area, visit family or friends or enjoy a well-deserved staycation.
For those guests who want a more authentic Dickensian experience, we can provide costumes for dressing up as characters from Oliver Twist and we also offer two treasure hunts; one for adults and one for children, where you tackle fun and educational clues to lead you to where Fagin has hidden his stash!
COTTAGE INTERIOR
GROUND FLOOR: The cottage is approached from a quiet road to the front door which takes you straight in to the ground floor where you enter the lounge. There is a comfortable 3-seater sofa and a rocking chair, with the center piece of the room being the wonderful open fireplace. Both traditional and modern games are provided in a large wooden chest, which also doubles as a coffee table, and, should you be interested, there are various Charles Dickens novels to read which are suitable for both adults and children. WIFi is included.
BASEMENT: Spiral stairs lead down from the lounge to the well-lit basement kitchen which is fully equipped for all your culinary needs. It has a dining table, which comfortably seats four people, an oven, fridge and dishwasher.
FIRST FLOOR: Up one flight of stairs from the lounge you will find the main bedroom with a double bed and quality bedding. There is a separate bathroom with a modern, enclosed Victorian style shower cubicle, a toilet and wash basin.
SECOND FLOOR: The second bedroom is on the second floor and has two single beds and ample storage space.
Bed linen, towels and a welcome pack are all included.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the steep spiral staircases this cottage may not be suitable for people with mobility problems or for very young children. If in doubt, or for more information before booking, please contact us. This cottage is not accessible for wheelchairs.
PARKING
There is ample FREE parking for your car on the Eastern Esplanade. This is only a couple of minutes away from the cottage and close to the famous Bleak House where Charles Dickens wrote some of his novels. Just park your car and enjoy the history and beauty of this wonderful old town and its surrounding areas.
If you prefer to walk or cycle, Broadstairs has some amazing cliff top walks and cycle routes that should not be missed. It’s also famous for its spectacular sunsets and with 7 golden beaches - including Viking Bay, Joss Bay and Botany Bay - you can take your pick as to where you take in the stunning panoramic views as the sun goes down.
If you fancy a round of golf on a famous golf course, a day out boat fishing or even a day trip to France, it is all here.
Being right on the tip of the South East of England, we have our own little micro-climate, producing some of the best weather in the UK.
