Summary: We have just returned from a long weekend at Heron House. The property is situated just off the High Street, close to all the wonderful independent shops and cafes/restaurants. My husband and I took our elderly mothers for a relaxing break and the accommodation was ideal with luxurious comfortable bedrooms, lovely bathrooms and a warm and welcoming bright kitchen which was well stocked for all our needs. A small but sunny garden with easy access to own car parking space making it easy to unload. The property was beautifully decorated and all communications with the owner were friendly, informative and welcoming. Can't recommend highly enough.

Summary: The house has been expertly restored and updated with high quality fittings throughout – everything works well. The plumbing and heating are excellent and the kitchen/diner has been superbly equipped. The back garden (with resident heron) has tables and seating and a garden room. There is a parking space outside the garden gate. The house is quiet; very little traffic at night. It is very useful to have a front room and a separate ‘snug’ both with TVs so that adults and kids can watch different programs. The guide to the house was admirably comprehensive – everything you could think of. The house is very well situated - a 2 minute walk to Oxford St connecting to the High St/Harbour St. Most of the shops and restaurants are to be found along this route – the traffic is heavy during the day. The walk down Nelson Rd to the beach is about 10 minutes, and passes the Windy Corner Café (excellent breakfasts, coffee and cakes). Whitstable is a very pleasant place to stay with a very impressive range of shops and many places of interest. We had good weather which was a marvellous bonus. We only stayed from Friday evening to Monday lunchtime, and we certainly plan to return. The whole town has an atmosphere and style of its own. All the eating places we tried were good.

Summary: Our last day of our amazing 7 week stay in Heron House. We are so sad to leave and can't begin to say how enjoyable our visit has been to Whitstable. Heron House itself has truly been a home from home with everything provided we could possibly need in a perfect location to sample everything that Whitstable has to offer. From the moment we booked, the lovely owner Julie was extremely friendly and bent over backwards to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay and provided a lovely tray full of delicious cheeses and biscuits on our arrival to welcome us. Having our two large dogs with us we fully expected to be severely limited with where we could visit but Whitstable is SO dog friendly! Our dogs went everywhere with us!! We will certainly miss our many walks along the beaches to Seasalter and Tankerton, always with lunch, a slice of cake or dinner at the end to reward us for our efforts in the huge selection of dog friendly restaurants and coffee shops. Our absolute favourites for coffee and light bites were Elliots and No.15 in Whitstable and Jo Jo's in Tankerton have the most AMAZING cakes!! Dinner choices were only slightly limited because of our two furry friends but I can definitely recommend The Marine Hotel in Tankerton, The Hotel Continental and The Pearsons Arms all of which welcomed dogs with open arms. I also can't not mention the fantastic Local pub the Coach and Horses which became our usual Friday night haunt. The barman and locals were brilliant and Flo our bulldog became a little bit of a celebrity pub dog, wandering around asking for a stroke from anybody who was willing. Our nights here normally ended with a stroll down to the local Chinese The Four Seasons, or Indian, The Star of Bengal for a takeaway both of which served delicious food. I can't say enough good things about both our wonderful accommodation and Whitstable as a town. Even in the depths of winter it didn't fail to enchant us. We loved it so much we are even considering a permanent move to the area...now if that isn't an endorsement nothing is!!

Summary: From start to finish our stay at Heron House was lovely. The owner Julie was very friendly and helpful throughout the booking process and afterwards returning our deposit the same day. The house itself is absolutely perfect with 4 large double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen and breakfast bar with large dining table that easily seated 8 people. The recent refurbishment is excellent and everything is finished to a very high standard. There is nothing that Julie hasn't thought of in equipping the house and we enjoyed a lovely Christmas in our 4 day stay at Heron House with all mod cons. We would thoroughly recommend this property and have every intention of returning. Whitstable itself is well worth a visit and we were surprised by the varied activities that are available from the beach to shops and restaurants
