The Loft is a fabulous apartment just a few steps from the beach, located on the historic Island Wall in Whitstable. Tastefully decorated in soft muted tones, the interior reflects the joy of coastal living. The open plan living space is perfect for relaxing and socialising, and the two bedrooms and bathroom make this lovely apartment perfect for couples or small families. The apartment has the additional attraction of an allocated parking space.

A short stroll along the beach brings you to the iconic The Old Neptune pub, one of the few UK pubs situated on a beach, from where you can catch the most stunning sunsets. Continue along the beach path and you reach the centre of Whitstable which is a vibrant and buzzing seaside town, full of history and charm with a working harbour and fish market. It has a thriving art scene with lots of galleries showing the work of local artists, a great live music scene in the local pubs and some great cafes and restaurants serving contemporary dishes including of course oysters which made Whitstable famous.

A very happy and comfortable long weekend

The Loft is lovely, a really comfortable base to spend a few days exploring the Kent coastline. The shower is great, the beds are comfy, and the apartment was well stocked with everything we might need. It's position is perfect, one street away from the shoreline and the parking was a definite plus. The welcome gift was very much appreciated.
A few more details about how to recycle and where the on/off switch for the oven is (it was hidden behind a chopping board) would have been appreciated.

The Loft was a superb apartment in a great location. The only criticism we would make is the shortage of some of the usual household supplies.
i.e. Bare minimum of toilet paper, washing up liquid, hand wash in the bathroom, spare rubbish bags etc.The dishwasher was broken and you had to fill a huge sink with water to wash up. It would be a good idea to supply a plastic bowl.
Only minor things, but would make a difference.

On the whole the apartment was very nice . Furnishings were modern & comfortable with nice artwork & cushions giving a luxury feel & the location was perfect. It was a shame that detail to cleaning was a little lacking especially the shelves in the kitchen & the cooker hood being very dusty & you could see they had not been cleaned in quite some time. The bench seat at the dining room table had mildew on it & the sofa could do with a clean. The dishwasher was not working & had not been working for some weeks as we were advised about this before hand. An addition of a microwave would have been helpful. The grounds of the property were poorly looked after & were very scruffy but the car park was handy to have. Attention to the cleaning would bring the apartment's standard back up to scratch.

Hello Donna, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a detailed review. We're pleased you enjoyed your stay as a whole and had a lovely time in Whitstable. Thank you so much for bringing these cleaning faults to our attention. We wish you had let us know at the time of arrival, as we would happily have sent our housekeeper back for you. Regardless, we have feed this back to her and will ensure that going forward, these items are checked thoroughly. The dishwasher unfortunately has been out of action for some time, as it's a very tricky appliance to repair. As you say, you were told prior to your arrival, but we're still sorry if this caused any inconvenience. The property owners have also been told about the communal areas for them to look at, along with the neighbours and management company who look after the building. Thank you again for sharing this review, and we look forward to hopefully hosting you again in the future!

Comfortable stay although small living, dining kitchen area. Disappointing entrance and from the outside but much better inside. Can be some road noise. Good parking. Loved Whitstable.

We had a great stay at The Loft. The property has been refurbished to a high standard and very tastefully done.
Everything you could need is provided and the location is perfect. set one street back from the beach, you are 30 seconds from The Old Neptune pub and the sea!
We loved our stay and will certainly consider staying again!
