Khina Cottage is one of two cottages at North Foreland Lighthouse. The lighthouse and cottages are found on the chalk headland above the seaside town of Broadstairs in Eastern Kent. The cottage has some fantastic views and the area is perfect for an English seaside holiday.
The lighthouse is dated back to 1499 when it was used as a beacon to warn of attack and piracy as opposed to being a navigational aid. The lighthouse is now automated, but does not have a fog signal.
Lighthouse description
The cottage is made up of two bedrooms and one bathroom that sleeps a maximum of three adults although it is ideal for two adults and two children. The minimum stay is two nights.
Both of the cottages are child friendly, with spacious grounds that are set away from the cliffs. There is a one-acre garden lawn that is shared between the cottages, with a patio and lots of space to sit outside. There is also onsite parking.
The cottage is fully equipped with a washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, TV, DVD player, electric cooker, gas effect wood burner, and a payphone. Travel cots, high chairs, and a stair gate for children are also available and there is garden furniture for guests to use.
Visitors have many choices on what to do whilst staying here. Joss Bay is an excellent sandy beach and is only a few minutes’ walk from the cottage. The nearest pub is the Digby Inn, which is ten minutes away offering great food. North Foreland Golf Club is close by and the nearby Broadstairs also has more sandy beaches. It hosts the annual Dickens Festival in June as Dickens lived in the town for a while. Each year the town also hosts the annual Folk Music Week.
