Coastguards View, Swalecliffe

Resting on the coast of Swalecliffe in Kent is this lovely three-storey mid-terrace cottage, Coastguards View. Ideal for a family get together, this charming dwelling offers a stylish décor and magnificent sea views, while being just a stone's throw away from the beach. Arriving at the property, off-road parking greets you, before stepping into the open-plan living space. Take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen, home to an electric oven and hob and a handy dishwasher, and whip up delicious meals for your group to enjoy at the dining table. From here, sink into the plush sofas and light the fire before cosying up with your loved ones to watch a film on the Smart TV. When sleep calls, head to the bedrooms for some well-earned rest, one of which is a double with a Smart TV and located on the ground floor, making this the ideal property for a multigenerational family. Climb the stairs to find another double with a Smart TV on the first floor, perfect for those lazy mornings. Completing the first floor is another plush double and a sleek bathroom where the group can freshen up and prepare for their days. Making your way up to the second floor, you will find a final twin room, suited to children and friends sharing. Back on the ground floor, patio doors take you to the decking and patio area where you can savour the summer sun in the fresh sea air with a cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine. Treat your loved ones to a meal out one evening; The Hampton pub and restaurant is just a short walk away and offers a delightful outdoor sitting area and a traditional Sunday lunch. For days out while at the cottage, why not head to Herne Bay Pier for a fun-filled day on the rides and in the amusement centre. Herne Bay is also home to The Seaside Museum, so you can brush up on your local history while admiring the quirky local art. Heading in the opposite direction from the cottage, happen upon the charming resort of Whitstable to explore their Harbour Market, an eclectic strip of quaint seaside stalls offering an array of local and unique arts and crafts. While you are in the area, history buffs may enjoy an afternoon at the Whitstable Community Museum & Gallery, but if that is not to your taste, you can always spend your afternoon sunbathing on the pretty beach with an ice cream in hand. Further afield, a scenic car journey will take you to the Blean Woods Nature Reserve, so you can get your walking boots on or bring your bicycle along for an adventurous day of exploring the dense and picturesque woodland. Coastguards View is a wonderful retreat for a relaxing family holiday to the seaside.
