A stylish, comfortable and clean cottage. The owners provided everything we needed. It was a pleasure to return from exploring the area every day. Whitstable is definitely worth visiting a unique town. One of our best holidays.

A Week in Whitstable

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in star cottage which was beautifully presented. A high standard of bedding and towels provided. Extremely comfortable beds. Dog walking was very convenient at Duncan Downs just a 10 minute walk from the cottage. Overall we had a great week with just some minor issues: We felt the kitchen could have been better equipped ie. A small sharp knife, vegetable peeler, foil, oven gloves( a single glove isn’t everyone’s preference) we’re lacking On occasions it was very difficult to park, access to the small residents car park would be a great advantage.( particularly for those with disabled badges.)

Good location

Excellent location for the town and beach. Very comfy beds and beautifully decorated. Nice garden with patio seating with cushions. Parking is free if you can find a space, we were lucky and got one nearby. Excellent bus service to Canterbury and train service to Ramsgate.

Fabulous cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Star Cottage. The house is comfortable and well equipped and beautifully done, feels like a real home from home. There is easy parking either outside the cottage or close by and it is a short walk into the centre of Whitstable. Keepers cottages have been really helpful with any queries. Would highly recommend, book now!

Wonderful cottage, excellent location

Star Cottage is a delight. Very comfortable and stylish. Thoughtfully designed. The two living areas were an unexpected bonus. We managed to park on the road, with no difficulty. Nice and warm.

Very clean and cosy cottage

three adults stayed at the cottage to attend a memorial service. the cottage made the sad occassion bearable. Spotlessly clean. The only drawback was that the seating in the lounge was not that comfortable.

exceeded expectation

Star Cottage was lovely in every way. It was spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything. The bathrooms were luxurious and the mattress was the best I'd ever slept on. There is a delightful little courtyard garden which was great for the dog's sunbathing. Keepers Cottages answered questions very quickly. If I stay in the Whitstable area of Kent again, my first choice would be staying at Star Cottage via Keepers Cottages.

Comfortable & stylish cottage

Lovely spacious cottage with stylish decor and attention to detail. Beds super comfortable! Great to have two bathrooms. Very clean and a welcome gift was a nice surprise. A ten min stroll to harbour. Easy access to high street with a plethora of independent shops. Highly recommended.

A beautiful interior

The interior of the cottage was beautiful with attention to detail everywhere . The decor was uplifting and contributed to the enjoyment of the stay. We were celebrating a birthday and had breakfast in the sunshine in the well equipped yard. An excellent stay for a girlie weekend with short walk to the restaurants and beach. The weekend was tricky to park near the cottage so we paid for a local car park and kept renewing as we did not use the car all weekend. Our dogs Karenza and Fleur loved the cottage and it was a perfect place for them to stay too !!!

First timers on the Kent coast

The property is beautifully presented and the outside space a sun trap. There is everything you could need for a self catering stay however, one suggestion would be to arrange a space for cupboard groceries to be stored. Plenty of room in fridge and freezer but the cupboards are so well stocked with crockery, pots, pans etc that there is no space for dry goods. It is also very dog friendly, blankets left out to cover the furniture and treats left. Comfy beds and pillows. Easy walk to the high street and sea front. The only negative is that due to its situation the parking is very limited and if you go out for the day trying to find another space on return can be a little frustrating.
