The Salty Mermaid is a two bedroomed fisherman's cottage, nestled in the heart of Whitstable's conservation area, just a stones throw away from the beach and town.
The space
On entering, you’ll find an open plan living/dining room with a log burner, Smart 48” screen TV, freesat, Netflix and DVD player. Should you wish to spend a quiet night in, there’s a choice of books, magazines, DVDs and games. You’ll find the cottage full of artwork created by local artists, some of whom may well be hosting an exhibition in one of the galleries during your stay.
For those long, lazy beach days, we’ve added a wicker picnic basket with plates, glasses and cutlery, along with a picnic table and stools. Just pick up some refreshments from one of the many shops and cafes on your way to the beach and you’re good to go!
Our fully equipped kitchen has a duel fuel oven, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee maker. For your convenience on arrival, there’s complimentary teabags, coffee pods, sugar and milk.
There’s a washing machine stored in the utility area which leads to the downstairs bathroom. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are all supplied.
The two bedrooms have double beds, luxury bedding and good wardrobe space. Each room has a hairdryer, large mirror and USB charging points.
The pretty, enclosed garden is a real sun trap and perfect for catching the last rays before you head off into town for the evening.
