The coast at Broadstairs is spectacular for walking and cycling, with great walks along the promenade and rides along the clifftops.

This part of Kent has many good golf courses including, of course, the famous Sandwich Bay course (about 1/2 hour drive by car). If you would like to make contact I can send you details for all the local courses that I am aware of. Broadstairs makes a good base for a golfing trip with plenty for a 'non golf playing other half' to do.

Further details
Broadstairs is a traditional English seaside town that is wonderfully unpretentious and unspoilt. It has an association with Charles Dickens that includes a Museum, Bleak House and Dickens festivals with locals in fancy dress. There are enchanting little cottages and fishing boats which bob in the quaint harbour. However the calm of the town belies the fact that there is lots to see and do. There is a traditional high street with a good variety of independent retailers, together with many fabulous restaurants, pubs, cafes and bars. There is a bandstand overlooking the main Viking bay beach, to which there is a lift to provide easy access. During the Summer there are weekly firework displays, donkey rides, a traditional Punch and Judy show and kiyak hire on the beach. A promenade offers scenic coastal walks to adjacent bays and beaches. The night life in Broadstairs is lively and varied. In early August the town holds its immensely popular Folk Week which attracts musicians and artists worldwide. There is a small cinema in the town centre and a large modern cinema at the new Westwood Shopping Centre (10 mins drive). The coast at Broadstairs is spectacular for walking and cycling, with great walks along the promenade and rides along the clifftops. Additionally there a number of other beaches to explore within easy walking or driving distance. The local tourist information centre, located in the Dickens museum has lots of information about Broadstairs and the surrounding area which is available on request.

Owner profile
About the owner
I live with my husband and two children close to Reading in South East England. We are about as far from the coast as is possible in the UK, but we love the Kent seaside, and try to visit Broadstairs whenever we can.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My husband grew up in Broadstairs and still has family there. He has now passed his love of the area on to the rest of family! Broadstairs is one of those rare places with character that has something to offer all age groups and tastes. We believe the beaches to be some of the best in the South East and there is lots of choice when it comes to bars, restaurants, tea houses and ice cream parlours - all within walking distance from the front door of the house. Interestingly this corner of Kent seems to have a micro climate all of its own and I often hear it is sunny in Broadstairs when the weather is less good elsewhere!
Unique benefits of the property
We have tried to make the house a 'home from home' rather than another characterless hotel like venue. As we have children of our own we know the problems in trying to pack their necessary belongings into even a larger car and with this in mind we have tried to provide what our younger visitors might need. Several older guests have told me that they particularly like the house as it has a shower and toilet on the ground floor and a staircase with several half landings for rests while climbing! We are registered and inspected on behalf of the local tourist board and we are always pleased to receive any feedback from our guests...
