Clair was an amazing host. She answered quick when I messaged and the caravan was absolutely perfect for me and my two kiddies. Well kitted out and very clean. Loved the added extra of WiFi and a smart TV great for movie nights in the winter. Will be booking in again and again! Thank you so much. Xx

Beautiful 2 bedroom seaside retreat great location

5 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviews8 months ago

We've had a nice August Bank Holiday weekend at Lee's place. The caravan was clean, tidy and well looked after. A travel cot and a high chair were both available, which really helped us. There was a chilled bottle in the fridge (for adults) and games and books available (for kids). It was very thoughtful of Lee. It was a shame that the Saturday was an absolute washout and we couldn't explore the area. But this is the British summer for you! You would need to buy a day pass for any entertainment (5min walk from the caravan). However, only the swimming and the entrance to the pub and the arcade is included in the day pass. Any other activities you wish to try need to be paid for separately. Also it's worth checking swimming availability first, before purchasing the day pass, as swim times are limited. The bakery just round the corner on the main street was a great discovery. Nice walks with the kids by the sea were good too. Lee's place was great and he is a very good host.

Luxury Bungalow with Wheelchair access and hot tub

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 52 reviews1 month ago

The bungalow was lovely with very comfortable sofas and the coffee machine a great addition. There were a few issues but Jamie was very responsive and went to a great effort to rectify the situation with great communication. Would recommend the gin distillery tour in Chatham and a take away from the taste of India. Overall Jamie was a great host who definitely cares about guest experience and I would recommend a visit to the bungalow.

Sandra was very quick to respond and was very helpful. The caravan was perfect for what we needed and with an added bonus of a bottle of wine waiting for our arrival. It was a shame the pool was closed when the site advertised it as open, but this did not affect how great the caravan was.

Hidden Whitstable Treasure with secure parking

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 79 reviews3 months ago

We were looking for a bolt hole for New Years within easy walking distance to pubs and restaurants as well as having nice walks. At the same time we wanted peace and comfort when we needed it, just like home. 2 Whitepost fitted the bill 100%, lovely welcome pack, the place was spotless, well equipped and very comfortable and cosy. Shops, restaurants, pubs, beach, etc are on your doorstep. Couldn’t ask for a better host, but to be honest we didn’t really need to make contact during the stay as everything was so well explained, but Guy was there if we needed him. Private, secure parking was a massive bonus in Whitstable. Can’t recommend the place highly enough, we will definitely book again for a different time of year. Thanks for looking after us so well.
