The space
Situated on a quiet side street with hardly any passing traffic, McEnroe Cottage is a welcoming home that's guaranteed to make you smile as you walk up to it with it's pretty light blue exterior.

Step into the cottage and you will open into the lounge...

*Lounge*

The cosy lounge has a comfy two seater sofa, two chairs and a pouffe. We also have a nest of tables. The smart TV enables you to log on onto your streaming accounts and watch your favourite TV shows. The large sash window looks out onto the quiet street scene of Thanet Road, with few cars going by and the odd person walking by on their way to the town's many shops or the majestic sweep of Viking Bay.

*Dining Room*

The large dining table is perfect for a hearty breakfast, a home cooked dinner or perhaps some fish and chips! The table seats 4 people. There is also a comfy chair where you can curl up and read your favourite book. In the sideboard, we have lots of board games for young and old alike.

*Kitchen*

The compact kitchen has a large fridge/freezer, a cooker with hob, a small dishwasher, toaster/kettle etc. All you need to rustle up a holiday meal. We also have two cafetieres (large and small), and a milk frother. We also provide coffee and tea.

*Master Bedroom*

King size bed with comfortable mattress. There is plenty of storage with a chest of drawers and hanging rail. The large sash window provides lots of light to this room.

*Twin bedroom*

Across the landing is the twin room, which features two comfortable beds, a large cupboard for storage and a window that looks over the courtyard garden.

*Shower room*

Lovely, light and airy shower room, with a walk in shower, WC and basin with a mirror over.

*Garden*

A lovely courtyard garden with garden seating for 4 people. It's a peaceful, sunny spot and a perfect haven after a busy day on the beach. There is a BBQ for your use (please bring your own coals and clean up after use). You'll also find buckets and spades in the wooden garden box.

*Outhouse*
In the garden, you will find the outhouse, which houses the washing machine.

*Stairs*

The stripped wood staircase leads you to upstairs where you'll find 2 bedrooms and the shower room. Please note the stairs are quirky in this old cottage and not suitable for the infirm.

Guest access
Full access to the house and garden.

Other things to note
The property was originally a fisherman's cottage and dates back to late Victorian times. When entering the property you step over a raised threshold.

The staircase is steep. Also, it has a quirky step at the top where it changes levels, which may be difficult for some to navigate. Young children will need to be monitored when going up and down the stairs. We have installed a retractable stairgate near the twin bedroom to keep young children from the stairs at night.

We have a travel cot available for guest use (please note we cannot provide linen or bedding for the cot).
