About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Fig Tree Cottage is a cosy, two bedroom house, situated in the relaxing seaside town of Whitstable.
The cottage offers a wonderful family stay in all seasons and is conveniently located just a very short stroll from the beach, harbour, and town. During the winter months, enjoy cuddling up on the sofa with a cosy throw while the log burner gently warms the room. In the summer, relax in the delightful garden beneath the fig tree, perhaps with a refreshing cold drink.

Nestled in a conservation area, Fig Tree Cottage is just a three-minute stroll from Whitstable's unique shops and tempting cafés and restaurants. While enjoying a peaceful day by the sea, don't forget to visit the idyllic Neptune Pub if you find yourself feeling thirsty.

You have access to all areas in the property except for the shed and one of the cupboards in the double bedroom.
Step inside Fig Tree Cottage's recently decorated living and dining room, where an inviting log burner creates a cosy ambience for enjoying films or dancing to music on the BOSE speaker. The galley-style kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare a hearty meal, including a Nespresso coffee machine for enjoying a frothy coffee in the morning. Ascending to the first floor, you'll discover a contemporary bathroom complete with a bath and overhead rain shower, a toilet, and a basin. You'll also find a spacious double bedroom at the front and a charming bunk bedroom at the rear, making the cottage an ideal retreat for either a family or a couple. The large, mature cottage garden, featuring beautiful fig trees that line the path, offers a perfect setting for evening relaxation and backs directly onto the renowned Crab and Winkle Way.
