The latest lifestyle, fashion and travel trends
Sitting pretty on the picture-perfect Whitstable coast, a stretch of shoreline renowned for its tranquil, shingly beaches, The Oyster Shell is our Cool Stay of the Week.
With a spacious layout, four bedrooms, parking for three cars, and a privacy-first design, The Oyster Shell is ideal for everything from a multi-generational getaway to a weekend with friends.
With a sizeable outdoor dining table and gas barbecue, dining al fresco is a must in the summer months. Alternatively, enjoy cocktails on the decking before heading inside to cook up a feast using the modern kitchen facilities.
Inside, light pours in through the glass-heavy structure, creating an airy, cheerful atmosphere throughout the day. High ceilings and muted blues, greys and whites instil a sense of calm in the open plan living space.
The two ground floor bedrooms come with an ensuite (one is fitted with a bath) and both with access directly out onto the garden. One is made up with a king- sized bed while the other is equipped with twin singles. In addition, a ground floor study comes complete with a fold-down bed, to create an additional bedroom. The master bedroom can be found upstairs, also with an ensuite and views of the back garden.
Whitstable Town centre with its charming architecture, excellent independent pubs, and many craft and artisan food shops is a just a short walk away.
The property is also a stone’s throw from the Saxon Shore Coastal Path. Alternatively, the disused Canterbury railway line is a great cycling path. Naturally, there are many shingly beaches right by the house, as well as the brilliant local pub, The Old Neptune and the nearest grocery shop is just five minutes away on foot.
Where? Whistable, Kent.
Sleeps: eight.
Price: £995 – £2,295 per week.
