A beautiful Victorian semi-detached house in a quiet area five minutes drive from the seaside town of Broadstairs and a 15 minute stroll to the blue flag beach at Joss Bay. Seagull Cottage has been renovated to a very high standard. A fully equipped open plan kitchen leads on to a dining area for six with a sofa. The Kitchen is equipped with all you need to cook and includes a Nespresso machine and Dualit Kettle and Toaster. French doors lead out to a delightful large south facing garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a shingled patio area for dining al fresco. The garden also has a BBQ and a slide. There is also a downstairs shower room and toilet which is ideal for showering off the children after a day on the beach. The very comfortable living room has a wood burning stove,T.V., DVD. Upstairs are two bedrooms; 1 double and 1 family room with two singles and a day bed (which opens into a double bed); and a luxury bathroom with separate shower enclosure. The basement playroom is ideal for children with a small games table, T.V. and Wii.

“So Good”

Reviewed 26 Sep 2022

As soon as we walked in my wife turned to me and said “thank you” as she knew I’d picked the right place for our break in Broadstairs. Everywhere was immaculate, clean and bright. In the house is everything you’d need and all is of good quality. The rooms are spacious and well furnished and the large, private and tidy garden great for sitting out and al fresco dining. It was late September so we were dubious on the weather but in the end it was glorious and we spent a fair amount of time sitting out. The bedrooms are well set out and the day bed came in handy as our 5 year old granddaughter wanted to spend time with both us and her mummy, Grandad got the day bed!! Both bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The linen is excellent as are the pillows. Downstairs the lounge is again comfortable and the tV has numerous choices including Netflix and Prime if you are members. The wi-if is also good and the connection firm all around the house. The downstairs playroom was a big attraction for Ava and she dragged grandad down much of the time. The Wii was a big plus and MarioKart was the big winner, though beanbags for oldies was a stretch!! We had only visited Broadstairs once for a day before so we were looking forward to exploring for a whole week. We had our daughter and 5 year old granddaughter with us so with the weather good we enjoyed a couple of days on the beach and in the sea. Joss Bay was great with big rollers on the sea. All in all we had a super time and Seagull Cottage was the perfect base.

“Fantastic Holiday Home!”

Reviewed 19 Aug 2022

Seagull cottage has everything you could wish for in a holiday home and more! Tracey has gone above and beyond with the beautiful decor and the quality of the furnishings throughout. The ottoman beds in the twin room are not only super comfy, but practical with the huge storage space for your suitcases - no one wants to see their cases in the corner of the room when on holiday! The kitchen was well equipped with everything you might need and the basement games room was a massive hit with our two boys (age 9 and 6), they loved having their own den, the multifunction foosball table and the Wii. The location was great, close to Joss Bay and we’d definitely recommend Staple Stores bakery cafe down the road. Our one tip for parking at the house (as the drive is at an angle and Balliol road is narrow with parked cars) is to approach from Reading street, not Beacon road. All in all we had a fantastic stay here and hope to return next year. Thank you Tracey x
