About this property

Seaside Retreat In Whitstable

10A is a stylish apartment within a Victorian property full of character and perfect seaside retreat. Sleeping up to 4 people (2 on a very comfortable Sofa bed) with all the comforts of a modern home. It has been decorated to a high standard and is much loved. The garden is an escape from it all and Mutley's Hut is an extension of the house and part of the tranquil experience. Throughout the flat, the furniture has been hand picked and lovingly placed, with the aim of making it a restful retreat all year around.

One of the nicest properties we’ve stayed in

What a beautiful place to stay. Not only is town picturesque, has amazing walks and beautiful scenery with lots of nice pubs, restaurants etc but to come home every day and stay in the most wonderful place. The accommodation had everything and more. Large spacious areas, great kitchen for cooking, great big shower, large bedroom with comfy bed and the most amazing garden with a snug at the end. I would highly recommend this place for a nice couples getaway, with your dog as well of course. Everywhere is dog friendly and the accommodation hosts our four legged friend as well. Big thumbs up from us.

Comfortable & quality property

I had such a good, restful, comfortable and cosy stay in the flat. It is furnished & equipped to a very high standard. I wanted a break away from the city and it was great to be so close to the town centre & beach front. Whitstable is a gem with its independent shops & places to eat.

Peace and tranquility

Wonderful little place that is perfectly catered for. Being dog patents we tend to make sure it has a good enclosed garden and this was perfect. We had a well needed chilled long weekend and lola was more than happy.

Excellent property to stay in, close to town centre

Enjoyed a relaxing short break, would definitely recommend and will stay again. Parking can be a challenge but did not cause any major issues. We used the local butchers (Jim's) and local fruit and veg shops, reasonably priced and locally sourced. The property has everything you need and the welcome pack was an added bonus.

Amazing Stay

This property is truly a home from home experience. The owners provide everything you can think of and the property is furnished to a very high standard and quality. The garden and ‘hut’ are a fantastic feature especially in lovely weather. We hope to visit again.

Excellent stay!

The property is beautifully presented and in the perfect position for a trip to Whitstable as the harbour, shops and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. Too cold to be outside and use Mutley's Hut, during our trip, but our dog appreciated the small garden for a trip out beginning and end of the day. The hosts are very accommodating, thinking of every need. and communicated well throughout the process.

Absolutely gorgeous apartment, we couldn’t fault it in any way. A lovely basket of goodies were left for us which was really appreciated. The kitchen is really well stocked and spotless. Fantastic location, so close to the village and seafront. Thank you for a really enjoyable stay

Great Place To Stay

My wife & I stayed for two nights at 10A, the attention to detail is second to none, and is in great location for Whitstable. Parked in local street. Accommodation décor is to a very good quality . We hope one day to return.

Perfect get away

A short staycation exploring the north Kent coast. This accommodation suited our needs perfectly and was a lovely home from home having everything you could possibly need. The layout was really quaint and the ideal weather in the evening made sure we made good use of Mutley’s Hut at the top of the garden. Parking wasn’t great but we managed to find a free place on the road every evening and never had to pay. A comfortable easy walk to the beach and tons of places to eat and shops to explore. Can highly recommend The Sapphire, Birdies and Jo-Jo’s. All superb restaurants but booking well in advance is essential. Whitstable is a real delight.

Dog -friendly, stylish and cosy

Great to be able to take my dog to this pretty town: poo bin provided in the enclosed garden and easily cleaned flooring. The flat is stylishly and tastefully decorated throughout with a smart seaside theme but it was also welcoming and cosy during this week's bad weather. Very well equipped kitchen and very clean. The flat is conveniently located for the beach and town in a very safe and quiet neighbourhood.

A fabulous property

Everything was faultless. A really smooth process. The apartment is full of character and beautifully decorated. It was warm and comfortable. The french themed bedroom was spacious and airy and we both slept well. The kitchen was fully equipped however we ate out at Birdies, Harbour Tapas and had a takeaway from Thai Orchid. The bathroom is lovely really modern with underfloor heating. Our stay was superb but the weather was not great so we really appreciated the comforts of this apartment.

Relaxing, very well-equipped and comfortable location.

Our short stay at the property allowed us to really relax, take long walks by the sea and enjoy the delights of Whitstable. The property is really comfortable, well-equipped and attractive; the owners have thought of everything and have provided all of the expected amenities along with many additional touches which help guests to feel like they are in a home away from home. The kitchen is great for cooking and the shower room was very luxurious. The bed was so comfortable! The garden and summer house at the end of the garden provide another attractive dimension. We had a perfect stay and really didn't want to leave; we will definitely book for a longer stay when it is possible to do so.

Great winter getaway

The perfect place for a weekend break or longer if you prefer! Lovely spacious apartment, warm and relaxing, in a quiet residential part of Whitstable but still only a short walk to the High Street or beach. Kitchen well kitted out for self catering. There is a very pretty garden and summer house which would be wonderful for a summer break (we tend to go to Whitstable in the winter!). Our small dog was welcome too. Difficult to park outside the property but we soon found a space up the road. All in all we will definitely return.

Lovely stay at Xmas

I had booked the stay for my mother and her two dogs as a Christmas treat and what a treat it turned out to be. Excellent communications with the owner and a lovely place to stay with great furnishings and a high quality finish throughout the property. A 5* experience from beginning to end.

Lovely and well appointed flat - but

10a is a lovely flat and very well equipped unfortunately it was not as peaceful as we had hoped for. On four mornings we were woken by either workmen digging up the road opposite, a neighbour hedge cutting or tree fellers across the road.. Evenings were disturbed by music from adjoining gardens, noisy revellers passing by at closing time and footsteps and voices from the upstairs flat. Quite late on our last evening there was a lot of commotion outside with someone trying to gain access to a neighbouring property, eventually they gave up, had this happened at home we would have called the police, but not knowing the locals hesitated and were pleased they eventually moved on.. The owners say a lot about how restful the place is, we may have been unlucky, going out for brunch isn't really the best of suggestions when what you really want is a lie in and a coffee.. The flat was one of the best we have stayed in but unfortunately not the most restful..

Can’t recommend highly enough!

We stayed at 10A for our wedding weekend. It was an amazing little property and I can’t think of anywhere better to have stayed! We haven’t even been married 48hrs and already want to book again for our 1st anniversary! The space was excellent and 6 of us had no problems getting ready...even with hair and make up ladies and a photographer here too. Although we did all miss a full length mirror. We didn’t get the opportunity to utilise the garden and Mutleys Hut, but it really is very pretty and well maintained! Communication from Tara & Tim was excellent, with clear instructions re check in/out and any questions answered promptly. Honestly can’t recommend highly enough!

Long weekend

Quirky property, very convenient for Whitstable High St, pubs and restaurants. Very clean and well equipped. Good guide by the owners. Nice welcome gift of rose wine etc. We visited The Sportsman for an excellent tasting menu and our third visit to Wheelers via the excellent Offy opposite as its BYO and no corkage. They have managed to improve the luscious lobster lasagna. Wi-fi was good and Sky TV a bonus. Used the hut at the end of the garden for a work video conference with no issues.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Paterson

Host profile image
We live in London with our Spaniels. We both work but love to escape to the sea.

Why they chose this property

I love what Whitstable has to offer, the working harbour, beach walks and general love of the sea, sound of the Gulls. That you can switch off, as soon as you drive over the hill into Whitstable and see the sea in the distance! My wife, dogs and I thrive on soaking it all up!

What makes this property unique

Mutley's Hut at the end go the garden offers a great space to work or read or just chill. It has Wifi and seating which can be used on the deck in front.
