A jolly to the beach is good for the soul – enjoying the sound of the waves, the salty scent of the sea air and the delicious food that can be found near to the shore are all restorative. If you’re in need of a recharge, then The Simple Things has teamed up with our friends at Whitstable Holiday Homes to offer one lucky reader a week’s stay in Spray Cottage for up to six people and one four-legged friend, worth up to £1,800.
Located on Whitstable beach in Kent, Spray Cottage has everything needed for a relaxing week away. With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, living room and courtyard garden, it has direct beach access and is only a stone’s throw from the much-loved Old Neptune pub – where you can enjoy a pint of locally-brewed Whitstable Bay and regular live music. Whitstable’s bustling high street and harbour is just a five-minute walk from the property and offers an inspiring collection of shops, cafés and restaurants.
Gail, the owner of Whitstable Holiday Homes, and her friendly team are on hand to offer advice on the best places to eat, drink and visit during your stay. She recommends trying the native oysters, which flourish in the waters of the Thames estuary, and taking in the views on a coastal walk. But don’t worry if your plans don’t involve anything more than snuggling up with a cuppa and a good book, as the window seat in the master bedroom of Spray Cottage is the ideal spot to catch the ever-changing sunrises and sunsets.
With over 30 self-catering holiday homes to choose from, Whitstable Holiday Homes offers something for everyone, many of which are dog-friendly and have balconies or sundecks to make the most of this vibrant coastal town.
