Is The Coach House dog friendly?

Yes, The Coach House welcomes dogs — though it accepts just one dog per stay, which means your pet gets the run of the private enclosed garden without having to share it. The welcome pack includes doggy extras, and practical touches like a walk-in shower on the ground floor and a utility room make life easier after a day on the beach.

Are dogs allowed at The Coach House year round?

The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions, and as a self-contained detached house with an enclosed private garden, it's well set up for dogs at any time of year. If you want to confirm availability for specific dates, it's worth checking directly with the owner.

What should I know before visiting The Coach House with my dog?

The property takes one dog only, so it's worth bearing that in mind if you're travelling with more than one. The beaches are 700 yards away on foot, and the nearby Tankerton Slopes offer open grassy space for a good run along the clifftop above the sea — handy for burning off energy before settling into the garden for the evening.

Whitstable is an oyster town with a working harbour, a shingle shore and sunsets across the water, and The Coach House puts one dog and four people a short walk from all of it. Built in 2021 next to the owner's home, it is a dog friendly two bedroom house standing on its own, with a garden to match.

That garden is private, secluded and enclosed, with furniture and a small barbecue, and patio doors open to it from the living area. A single dog has it entirely to itself, which is the advantage of a place that takes only one. Inside, the ground floor is open plan with underfloor heating, a coffee machine in the kitchen, a utility room to deal with the sandy towels, and a walk-in shower on the same floor, useful for rinsing off after the beach.

Upstairs, there is a kingsize bedroom, a twin that can be zipped into a double, and a bathroom. It is a new house built with care, finished with bespoke furniture, and the welcome pack includes doggy extras. The evening here is simple: back from the shore, the dog towelled off, a barbecue lit and the garden quiet behind the owner's house.

The beaches are 700 yards away, and Whitstable Castle and the grassy Tankerton Slopes are a few minutes on foot, the slopes running along above the sea with room for a dog to stretch its legs. Tankerton beach carries on east towards Herne Bay, and Canterbury and the Blean woods are a short trip inland.
