Beautiful holiday home.
What a stunning holiday home Star Cottage is. Beautiful decor, great location for walking into Whitstable which we absolutely loved.
The attention to detail of Star Cottage was superb. Everything had been thought of. Gorgeous soft furnishings, the spacious rooms worked perfectly for 2 couples and 2 small dogs.
Highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic
Very responsive customer service and fantastic to deal with, shout out to Michaela…big thanks. The cottage itself was super clean and comfortable, a real home from home. The location could not be better. A few minutes walk from the High Street but tucked away enough to be quiet. Cafe, takeaway, pub and co-op virtually on your doorstep. Whitstable is a real gem. We will be back!

A stylish, comfortable and clean cottage. The owners provided everything we needed. It was a pleasure to return from exploring the area every day. Whitstable is definitely worth visiting a unique town. One of our best holidays.

Fabulous cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Star Cottage. The house is comfortable and well equipped and beautifully done, feels like a real home from home. There is easy parking either outside the cottage or close by and it is a short walk into the centre of Whitstable. Keepers cottages have been really helpful with any queries. Would highly recommend, book now!

Wonderful cottage, excellent location
Star Cottage is a delight. Very comfortable and stylish. Thoughtfully designed.
The two living areas were an unexpected bonus.
We managed to park on the road, with no difficulty.
Nice and warm.

Very clean and cosy cottage
three adults stayed at the cottage to attend a memorial service. the cottage made the sad occassion bearable. Spotlessly clean. The only drawback was that the seating in the lounge was not that comfortable.

Comfortable & stylish cottage
Lovely spacious cottage with stylish decor and attention to detail. Beds super comfortable! Great to have two bathrooms. Very clean and a welcome gift was a nice surprise. A ten min stroll to harbour. Easy access to high street with a plethora of independent shops. Highly recommended.

A beautiful interior
The interior of the cottage was beautiful with attention to detail everywhere . The decor was uplifting and contributed to the enjoyment of the stay.
We were celebrating a birthday and had breakfast in the sunshine in the well equipped yard. An excellent stay for a girlie weekend with short walk to the restaurants and beach.
The weekend was tricky to park near the cottage so we paid for a local car park and kept renewing as we did not use the car all weekend. Our dogs Karenza and Fleur loved the cottage and it was a perfect place for them to stay too !!!

First timers on the Kent coast
The property is beautifully presented and the outside space a sun trap. There is everything you could need for a self catering stay however, one suggestion would be to arrange a space for cupboard groceries to be stored. Plenty of room in fridge and freezer but the cupboards are so well stocked with crockery, pots, pans etc that there is no space for dry goods. It is also very dog friendly, blankets left out to cover the furniture and treats left. Comfy beds and pillows. Easy walk to the high street and sea front. The only negative is that due to its situation the parking is very limited and if you go out for the day trying to find another space on return can be a little frustrating.

exceeded expectation
Star Cottage was lovely in every way. It was spotlessly clean and the owners had thought of everything. The bathrooms were luxurious and the mattress was the best I'd ever slept on. There is a delightful little courtyard garden which was great for the dog's sunbathing.
Keepers Cottages answered questions very quickly. If I stay in the Whitstable area of Kent again, my first choice would be staying at Star Cottage via Keepers Cottages.

A Week in Whitstable
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in star cottage which was beautifully presented. A high standard of bedding and towels provided.
Extremely comfortable beds.
Dog walking was very convenient at Duncan Downs just a 10 minute walk from the cottage.
Overall we had a great week with just some minor issues:
We felt the kitchen could have been better equipped ie. A small sharp knife, vegetable peeler, foil, oven gloves( a single glove isn’t everyone’s preference) we’re lacking
On occasions it was very difficult to park, access to the small residents car park would be a great advantage.( particularly for those with disabled badges.)
It is a very cute pretty little cottage with good amenities. Parking was a bit hit and miss as double yellow lines everywhere. However it didn’t ruin the stay and we had a lovely couple of days. Would recommend
