What our guests say
“What an absolutely stunning holiday home Star Cottage is! Beautiful decor, everything we needed & more. Nothing’s been forgotten & spotless. The weather has been kind to us and our first visit to the Kent coast has been delightful. Whitstable and Star Cottage — we loved you. Thank you for the lovely memories.”
“Our first time in Whitstable — and Kent — for a holiday, and it was so well placed for everything. The home is very well appointed, and thank you for the welcome wine! We walked our socks off exploring: Whitstable to Seasalter, Herne Bay via the Castle, Broadstairs, Canterbury and Margate. Great oysters at the Forge — we went back a second time! So many dog-friendly places too. Thank you for enabling us to have a wonderful week.”
“We’ve enjoyed a wonderful few days here at Star Cottage — the home has been very comfortable and we love the attention to detail with all the stars dotted around and the bright colours! Whitstable has been lovely too; it’s been nice to take a stroll up to the quaint high street and pop into the shops, bakeries and coffee shops. The harbour is beautiful, especially on a sunny day in early March. Thanks!”
