For a classic seaside escape on the Kent coast, few places capture coastal charm quite like Broadstairs. With its beach huts, retro ice-cream parlours, independent boutiques, and excellent restaurants (plus no fewer than seven sandy bays and beaches to explore), it’s easy to see why the town was a favourite retreat of Charles Dickens.
Tucked just moments from Broadstairs High Street and less than a 10-minute walk from the golden sands of Viking Bay, Samphire Cottage enjoys an exceptional setting for exploring everything this much-loved seaside town has to offer. Sleeping up to three guests across two bedrooms, the welcoming coastal cottage is ideally suited to couples, small families, or friends seeking a relaxed base by the sea.
Inside, nautical touches and locally inspired artwork reflect the cottage's coastal surroundings, while comfortable furnishings create an easy, lived-in atmosphere that invites you to settle in and unwind. The open-plan sitting and dining room forms the heart of the home, with a wood burner for cooler evenings, a Smart TV and DVD player with a selection of films, and books and games for unhurried evenings in. A dining table for four sits alongside patio doors that open directly onto the courtyard garden.
The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering stays, while upstairs, two comfortable bedrooms provide flexible sleeping. Outside, the enclosed courtyard garden provides a quiet spot for morning coffee or an evening drink after a day on the coast, with a table and chairs for simple al fresco meals in warmer weather and soaking up more of that fresh seaside air.

From cliff flanked sands to picturesque bays, Broadstairs has to offer some of the best beaches on the Kent coast, each with their own distinct attractions; whether you want to try your hand at surfing at Joss Bay, take in the colourful beach huts and children’s rides at Viking Bay or walk from Botany Bay all the way to creative Margate.
A truly quintessential seaside town, brimming with charm, from retro ice cream parlours to boutique shops and galleries, alongside excellent restaurants and tasty cafés, it’s not hard to see why this was one of Charles Dickens’ favourite holiday spots. With direct train routes to London in less than an hour and a half, with the station minutes’ walk from Samphire Cottage, the capital can easily be explored, or departed should a weekend on the coast be calling.
