Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 5 - Broadstairs, Kent

Nestled in the pretty coastal town of Broadstairs, this homely bungalow is ideal for families looking for an old-fashioned seaside getaway. From licking ice-cream on the beach to going for a dip in the sea whatever the weather, roll back the years by reliving the memories of childhood holidays when you spend time at Viking Bay, less than 500 metres from the property. Calming grey and silver tones run throughout the property, while antique furniture gives it timeless appeal.

With a sofa and four comfy armchairs, the lounge area has a variety of seating to choose from. Put your feet up and watch a film on the Smart TV or simply admire the view of the garden with a cuppa made in the coffee machine. The dining area is a great space to enjoy family meals and plan your next day's activities.

As all the bedrooms are on the ground floor, making the property ideal for less mobile members of the family. Being south-facing, the garden and patio area is a sun trap, so perfect for catching a few rays while writing postcards or enjoying a relaxing afternoon chatting over drinks. Broadstairs itself has lots to keep you occupied – not least the wonderful beaches – and you can explore Charles Dickens' links to the town at the Dickens House Museum.

But if you want to head further afield, Margate is 4.5 miles away, with highlights including the acclaimed Turner Contemporary Gallery and the vintage rides of Dreamland. The historic city of Canterbury is 19 miles away, known for its cathedral and excellent shopping, while keen walkers and cyclists will appreciate the wide range of footpaths and cycle paths in the area.
