Driftwood Treehouse in Whitstable, Kent

Driftwood Treehouse Self-Catering

A wood-clad cabin by the sea is on offer at this Herne Bay home. It’s just 30 metres from the pebble beach and an easy dander into town sees you at the old Victorian pier home to arcades and street food. It may be in the owner’s back garden (they tend to keep themselves to themselves), but it feels like a rural retreat in town. It positively sings with sunshine thanks to the wall of glass that folds back to combine the terrace with the living room. There’s no TV here, inviting you to switch off, swing in the hammock and enjoy the salty air.

Home truths:
*This is a separate cabin, but you do have to walk through the owners' back garden to access it – they will leave you to your privacy though
*Up on a copse, you'll need to climb a set of stairs to access this home, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Pets are welcome here, just let your host know in advance
*Herne Bay is within walking distance but there is also private parking should you wish to bring a car
*One of the bedrooms has a set of bunk beds so would be best suited to children
*At capacity, one guest will be on the sofa bed in the living room
*There's no TV but there's a radio to embrace your seaside location listening to the shipping forcast
*You'll have your own private entrance here
