The property is positioned opposite the historic Ship Inn, one of Herne Bay’s oldest and most beloved establishments, dating back to 1385.

At the rear of the cottage, you'll discover a private courtyard, an absolute sun trap, ideal for morning breakfasts or evening drinks as you soak in the sea air.
