Perfect for a short stay.
Although the accommodation is small it has everything you need and plenty of storage. We only used the kettle and toaster in the kitchenette but there was a hot plate and microwave too so we could have cooked if we wanted. The garden is a lovely place to sit and hidden from the road (cul de sac) by bushes. It’s not the sort of place you’d spend the whole day in due to its size but that is reflected in the price so it’s perfect for a short stay where one might be out for most of the day. However it was a lovely welcoming little place to come home to after a busy day.

Great little place for a short break
The property was spotlessly clean, with some nice added touches such as prosecco, tea, coffee, handwash, soap, and other little extras. The area was great, and it was a short walk to the harbour, town, and train station. I would thoroughly recommend it!

Lovely place for a short stay
We went for a wedding and this was perfect for the 2 nights. It’s only about 15 to 20 minutes to walk to the town front or harbour but it is a bit uphill and down dale but a taxi is only £5.50 if you don’t want to walk. Tea coffe milk etc left in property and the two bottles of Prosecco a really nice touch. Nice little garden with comfy deck chairs. Please note there is no lounge here but to in bedroom. Thank you Elise for a lovely stay.

Located a short distance from the railway station and Whitstable harbour, all well signposted.
The accomodation located at the end of a quiet cul de sac.
Beautifully decorated, very comfortable bed.
Great little kitchenette, coffee, tea, milk and biscuits supplied which was much appreciated on our arrival and the prosecco was a pleasant surprise too. Loved the bathroom and shower.
Everything you might need for a short stay. I most definitely will be visiting Whitstable again (I have family here) and Shapeless will be my first choice
for my next visit. Thankyou.

Fantastic location for Whitstable and Canterbury and a number of different beaches.
The property was extremely clean with some nice touches i.e. coffee, tea, milk, sugar etc and Prosecco and chocolates. The garden was an absolute delight and we spent time there every day.
Great communication from the host.

Comfirtable room, amazing breakfast
A really enjoyable two nights, the bedroom, bathroom pand kitchen are small but really well planned so everything that you could need is provided. Great power shower. Everything was squeaky clean and the area is very quiet. The biggest treat was the optional breakfast served in the beautiful garden ( we were lucky that both days were warm and sunny) so don't miss the opportunity.
Elise and Nigel are the perfect hosts so we would recommend Shapeless Lodge to anyone
