Self-catering holiday cottages in Broadstairs

Broadstairs is not only a seaside town where old meets new, and where for good measure, new meets old, but the favourite holiday destination of one of the most famous English writers of all, Charles Dickens. There’s plenty of quintessentially British seaside charm and not one, but two traditional 1950’s ice cream parlours nestling between wonderful independent shops, art galleries and welcoming restaurants, cafes and bars. There are no fewer than seven sandy beaches and bays, the main one being the family-orientated Viking Bay. You can wander, cycle, learn to surf, sail, swim, fish (perhaps consider taking part in one of the harbour fishing competitions) or just simple saunter around the area, especially the magnificent cliff-top paths, with a camera, enjoying all that Broadstairs has to offer. There are also golfing, lawn tennis and bowling facilities.

The self-catering cottages in Broadstairs range from budget group accommodation in seafront Victorian large holiday houses that sleep 6 to 10 guests and pet friendly cottages ideal for a family with children.
