Would recommend huts.Clean interior, beds, bathroom, kitchen area, great location. Great tea and coffee making facilities . Fridge, microwave, kettle and sink. Easy book in and book out. Lovely and cosy hut.Be aware....I'm 5'8 tall and only had about an inch or so from the ceiling downstairs.Beware the stairs, really steep angle, I'd call them a ladder😁🤣

Such a wonderful, chilled way to enjoy the Whitstable sea front. The huts aren't cheap, but they are charming and thoughtfully laid out and equipped with everything you need, including a couple of deck chairs. Also very handy is The Forge eatery located just next door. We recommend the cod and chips and one of their local beers - sundowner.

Perfect location, Authentic Huts with modern amenities. Great view.Good heating, nice Kitchen area with kettle, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, microwave, plates, cutlery, mini fridge stocked with complementary Juice, water, milk.Just stairs to bedroom are bit steep, which is mentioned in their website too, so bit of fun there but totally worth the experience

Quirky and quaint but we felt it was a little overpriced. We stayed in hut 7 which faces to rear and there was a lot of traffic noise so wished we'd booked a sea facing hut but you live and learn. Accommodation was clean and bed very comfortable and only criticism was that there was a bit of mould on bathroom ceiling and the seal on shower cubicle and door were defective causing a lot of water to escape on to floor. Great central location and the free car parking space in front of huts is a great bonus

Just the quaintest, most charming way to stay in Whitstable. It’s been nearly 10 years since we were last here and staying in the huts gives you a unique experience that feels timeless.The accommodation is “compact” and not built for the tall, and the ladder-like stairs aren’t for the non-nimble, but it’s all part of the experience.With The Forge for incredible Oysters and other foodie delights, and of course the sea on your literal doorstep, it’s the perfect seaside escape.I shouldn’t really say nice things. I should paint a terrible picture, so there’s more availability…but I can’t. Enjoy the gems that Whitstable has to offer with its treasure trove of independent shops, fabulous foodie experiences including of course the highlight - buckets of the worlds best oysters.

Hut 14. Two double bedrooms. Adults only. Great location right on the beach. Amazing views from the balcony. It's expensive ÂŁ225 for the night but not so bad if there are four people, there were only two of us. Small kitchen with kettle, microwave and fridge (freezer section broken) so don't expect to cook a fry up for breakfast or even a slice of toast! Complimentary milk, bottled water, juice and a well stocked hot drink selection. Everything was spotlessly clean with plenty of fresh fluffy white towels and complimentary toiletries. Top floor bedroom has low ceiling so watch your head. Main bathroom is clean, modern with a good shower unfortunately the toilet is badly positioned so you have to sit on it sideways which means the toilet seat is broken. It's a real shame they have used the balcony as advertising space for the huts, it's ugly, spoils the view when you sit down and people walking past kept asking how much we were paying to stay there! The outside is very shabby, not sure if this was on purpose as the inside is very modern. Although next to a restraunt and right on the coastal path it was very quiet at night, the seagulls went bonkers at 5.30am for a while so take earplugs for that bit, but apart from that very quiet! Great to people watch during the day. Beds were super comfy. Despite the few faults I would definitely recommend and would return as its quite a unique experience.

Great for a novel experience and being right on the sea front. Parking right outside. Key collection and return from the main hotel a short walk away, or very quickly by car. The lounge area had a low ceiling, ok unless you're 6ft tall! The bedroom on the upper level was accessible via stairs which were akin to a ladder. Tea, coffee and milk provided.

We loved this little place. Perfectly located. The only reason for 4 stars not 5 is the stairs up to the bedrooms. We stayed in the dog friendly one, but the stairs was more like a ladder. Any dog that you cant lift will struggle alot up and down them. But other than that its a perfect getaway.

We stayed in Anderson shed. It’s beautiful property with lovely view. We had great stay however cleanness isn’t there yet. Kettle had terrible limescale and was told it’s ok as it filter there. At the end they provided new one which was great.Other minus was iron which wasn’t great and it damaged our wedding clothes.Overall great though
