Why we love it

30 seconds to the dog-friendly beach, and 30 seconds to the high street, you don’t have to go far to enjoy yourself. Walks, food, rest


What you'll love

Dogs will love

  • Breaking land speed records on the beach
  • Pretending there’s no more room on the Chesterfields
  • Failing to find a way out of the dog-proof garden

Humans will love

  • Remembering how to get in and out of hammocks
  • The warm irreplaceable sound of vinyl records
  • Strolling to restaurants from Michelin star, to tapas, to Cheese Bar

The place

The Cook’s Cottage is a real-life version of your coastal getaway dream. Some places you measure the nearest shops and points of interest in minutes, in this case – seconds. With the sea a 30 second walk away, and the shops 30 seconds the other way, you can get a lot done and still be home in time for dinner. You’ve the space to entertain, whether you’re here as a couple, or meeting family and friends in the area; with a large French vintage dining table in the garden, for extended lazy lunches, with a chiminea fire for when afternoon melts into night – and even a two-person hammock to stargaze before the fire dies out. With over 15 restaurants in walking distance – many of them are dog-friendly, and many more a short cab ride away, the only problem you’ll have with food is choosing where to go.

In the neighbourhood

  • Blean Woods is an 11-minute drive away with five trails to explore, the longest stretching eight miles, through oak trees and the lesser spotted woodpeckers and nightingales that call it home
  • Pop over to Kent Cycle hire and rent bicycles to make the most of the coastal views and the green spaces bordering the town
  • Take the dogs out for a sprint on West Beach, Whitstable Beach Front and Tankerton Beach –dogs need to be kept on a lead in the central beach area during the peak season - too many people having BBQ's
  • An eight-minute drive to Duncan Down, a 23-acre village green and green flag winner with woodland, scrubland, grassland and even a stream, dog friendly and worth a visit
  • A 15 second walk to The Cheese Box, a fromagerie and occasional host to a cheese and wine night that are heartily recommended. With a selection of cheeses from all over the country, choose and try from their impressive selection
  • Go shopping at the many stores that punctuate the high street. With a choice of regular and vintage fashion stores, numerous gift shops and boutique stores, as well as the regular Harbour market – selling local artisan jewellery, ceramics, textiles and furniture
