The Lookout is a newly-refurbished, bright and stylish beachfront apartment, in a period Captain’s House with stunning sea views over the sandy beach at Viking Bay. This delightful space offers 3 double bedrooms, 2 family bathrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen/diner, opening on to a relaxing lounge with spectacular sea views. You will love exploring Broadstairs' old town, its Blue Flag beaches, its independent boutiques and galleries and its award-winning restaurants.
The space
The delightful open-plan living/ dining/kitchen space has two sofas (one a double sofabed), a wall-mounted Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and captivating sea views over the beach at Viking Bay.
The kitchen is fully equipped, including oven with 4-ring hob, fridge with freezer box, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The dining table is set up with 4 chairs, but can be extended to sit 6 or 8.
The main bedroom provides a place of sanctuary with luxurious bedding, a Superking bed and charming views over the rooftops. A hairdryer, iron and ironing board are available.
The spacious family bathroom has a powerful rain shower, with hand-held attachment, over a kid-friendly bath-tub.
Upstairs, two more double bedrooms await, with sumptuous bedding, and sink-into mattresses. One has a dedicated desk to serve as a workspace, so you can work from home, by the sea.
The feature roll-top bath in the upstairs bathroom is the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach. Watch the clouds go by through the skylight as you wash away the day.
We offer a Family Pack of amenities for young children, so you don't have to lug it all from home. The pack includes a potty, a kids toilet seat, a blackout blind, a kids step, bathmat, jug, kids plastic plates, bowls, cutlery and cups.
We welcome your furry friends at The Lookout and provide a dog bed, stairgate, dog blankets, dog towels, dog toy, food and water bowls and treats for them. We only ask that you keep them out of bedrooms and don’t leave them unattended inside The Lookout.
Guest access
The Lookout is located right on the seafront in the centre of town. You can walk everywhere in Broadstairs very easily.
There is a pay and display car park in Chandos Sq just outside. There is free parking available on Queens Gardens, West Cliff Avenue, West Cliff Road and Western Esplanade, all a 5-minute walk away.
Other things to note
The Lookout is a unique space with stunning sea views, but to get to the apartment, you’ll need to climb up stairs to the 4th floor and there is no lift. I do this often with my two young children, but it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.
To make sure you have the most space in the kitchen, we have provided 3 additional white folding chairs, which are in the two upstairs bedrooms and the roll top bathroom. There is also an additional chair in the master bedroom.
Children are more than welcome and we can provide a travel cot (without bedding), a high-chair and a Family Pack of amenities for young children, so you don't have to lug it all from home. The pack includes a potty, a kids toilet seat, a blackout blind, a kids step, bathmat, jug, kids plastic plates, bowls, cutlery and cups.
Kids' books and toys are available, as well as the obligatory buckets, spades and games for the beach.
We provide fluffy towels for you inside The Lookout and beach mats and picnic blankets for the beach, however we do not offer beach towels, so please bring your own if required, many thanks.
The Location
At The Lookout, you’ll overlook Viking Bay, a crescent of family-friendly sand complete with paddling pool, beach huts, deckchairs and a handful of bobbing fishing boats. In summer, some kids' swings, trampolines and a bouncy castle entertain the little ones. For a quieter time on the sands, follow the locals to the neighbouring beaches of Stone Bay and Louisa Bay.
In front of Chandos Square lie the Victoria Gardens, a delightful spot to take in the views. The bandstand musicians perform live here throughout the summer and on weekends off season.
Along the promenade, grand Victorian and Georgian buildings crown the white cliffs, and artisan coffee shops and retro gelaterias lure you inside. In the old town, quaint fishermen's cottages nestle up to independent boutiques and galleries, and gastro pubs and award-winning restaurants line the unspoilt streets.
Broadstairs is becoming quite the foodie destination, with the Michelin-starred Stark, genuine Italian osterias, posh fish and chips and quirky eating spots, from a Chapel-cum-Bookshop-cum-Bar to The Jetty, where waves will break yards from your table.
If you're after some culture, you can follow in the footsteps of Dickens at "our watering place", visiting Betsey Trotwood’s home and "Bleak House". Just inland, St Peter's village stages award-winning heritage tours with guides in period costume. You can catch a film at the tiny, olde worlde Palace cinema or take on the windmill at Lillyputt mini golf.
Around the headlands, you’ll discover six other sandy Blue Flag beaches; head to Joss Bay to learn to surf, or rural Botany Bay to saunter amid towering chalk stacks. Keep on walking or pedalling to Margate or Ramsgate and further to join the 25-mile Viking coastal trail.
If all that sounds too energetic, you can hop on the Loop bus (or the open top bus in the summer) to explore the vibrant arts and music scene in Margate and the harbour and pubs of Ramsgate.
There’s always a festival on in Broadstairs:
Blues Bash in February, Dickens Week in June, the Bandstand musicians throughout the summer, the Water Gala in July/August, Folk Week in August, and the Food and Drink Festival in October.
At The Lookout, you'll be enchanted by the views, tempted by innovative tastes, and braced by exhilarating cliff-top walks. Relaxed and unspoilt, Broadstairs radiates old-fashioned seaside charm. No wonder Dickens took his holidays here.
Located in Broadstairs, this apartment is on the beach. North Foreland Golf Club and Ramsgate Royal Harbour and Marina are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Pegwell Bay Country Park and Sandwich and Pegwell Bay National Nature Reserve. Traveling with kids? Consider Broadstairs Leisure, or check out an event or a game at Dreamland. Discover the area's water adventures with windsurfing, motor boating, and sailing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with cycling.
