About this property
Nickleby Nook By the Sea - Meters to the Beach!
Just meters to the beach, our beautiful, bright and spacious three bedroom top floor apartment with sea views is in an amazing location - just off the promenade on top of picturesque Viking Bay!
Welcome to your beach retreat; breathe in the sea air, take in the views & feel the sand between your toes. Nickleby Nook is your home from home, comfortable and cosy whatever the season, it can accommodate up to six and is an ideal base to relax and explore Broadstairs and the surrounding areas.
Once here you won't need your car again as the beaches, shops, restaurants, bars, pubs, cafés, and even an independent cinema are all on your doorstep.
Completely renovated in 2021 our three bedroom second floor apartment offers a bright open plan living room/kitchen, three bedrooms, and bathroom with roll top bath and shower.
The comfortable lounge has a 50” smart TV and also incorporates a dining table and built-in window seat with beautiful views of Viking Bay.
Our kitchen includes a washer/dryer, dishwasher, oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle and Nespresso Coffee machine, with tea, coffee, oils and seasonings provided.
BEDROOMS
All three bedrooms have smart TVs with built in DVD players
Bedroom 1 has a king size bed
Bedroom 2 a double bed with views of Viking Bay
Bedroom 3 has a ship style bunk bed with views of Viking Bay
Quality bed linen and towels are provided, as are a selection of board games and DVDs.
LOCATION
Broadstairs is brimful of nostalgic old-world seaside charm, with seven sandy beaches to choose from - we're on top of Viking Bay, the magnificent horseshoe-shaped main beach, or head to Joss Bay to learn to surf, or rural Botany Bay to saunter amid towering chalk stacks. Keep on walking or pedalling to join the 25-mile Viking coastal trail. Clifftop walks, independent shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs as well as small supermarkets, butchers and bakeries are all on your doorstep.
Just inland, St Peter's village stages award-winning heritage tours, while in town explore Dickens’ haunts of Bleak House and Betsey Trotwood’s home.
There’s always a festival on:
Blues Bash in February, Dickens Week in June, the Bandstand musicians throughout the summer, the Water Gala in July/August, Folk Week in August, and the Food and Drink Festival in October.
Only a few miles away you have Margate with Dreamland, Margate Old Town with lots of independent shops, restaurants, cafes, antique shops, and the Turner Contemporary gallery. In the other direction is Ramsgate with its Royal Harbour - take out a boat for seal watching or sea fishing, or just to watch the boats from its many cafes and bars.
For serious golfers there is the North Foreland golf course in Broadstairs and Royal St Georges golf course in Sandwich which was founded in 1887 and intended by its founder, Dr William Laidlaw Purves, to be a rival to St Andrew’s in the South of England. Royal St Georges is consistently ranked amongst the leading courses in the World.
Historic Canterbury is only a 30 minute drive or train ride away, with its spectacular cathedral, city walls, restaurants, shops and parks.
Step back in time at one of our nearby castles - Dover, Deal, Walmer, Leeds and Rochester Castles are all easily reached by car or rail in under an hour.

About the host
Hosted by Natasha

We are a family of five with three boys. We are the fourth generation of our family to regularly holiday in Broadstairs…we are sure you will love it as much as us and we hope that you enjoy and love our home as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We already loved the location, the beach just a few meters away and being in the heart with everything on your doorstep, but we really fell in love with Nickleby Nook as soon as we walked up the stairs and saw the first view from the landing window.
