Perfect location
Strugglers cottage is a beautiful, clean little cottage in the middle of Broadstairs but in a quiet courtyard. It had everything you could wish for and more. There is 3 flights of steep stairs between rooms but that is it’s charm.

Smugglers cottage
If you’re looking for a quaint place to stay set in a Dickensian courtyard, you will not be disappointed. The property is well equipped and close to amenities and good walks. I recommend the cottage and advise you take notice of the advice about the steep stairs, not suitable for everyone but it definitely adds to the character. Thanks for the stay 🤣

Beverley and Phil are the most helpful host ever. Superb location and great stay. Though it was made clear about the winding staircase, it was still quite a surprise. Maybe a hand grip at top? Other than that, its a fab! Thanks Beverley and Phil :)
