Thank you for checking in…

Sorry, there are no longer any available dates for booking.

We have wound down operations since our final guests checked out at the end of May 2026.

After ten jolly busy seasons, we”ve checked in ourselves, permanently!

Thank you to all our lovely guests and loyal supporters for your amazing company and incredible interest over the years.

It has been our absolute pleasure to host you and keep you updated on Kent seaside life.

Do follow our socials as we continue to share the delights of Whitstable and beyond!

“The Jolly is the best little house we have ever stayed in! Such attention to detail, with special touches, like the toiletries, the yellow roses in each room and living area, the wine, the milk with tea and coffee so that you can have a nice cup of tea on arrival. It was also lovely to read about the history of The Jolly, such an interesting area it is in! Such wonderful hosts.” 

Let us take the headache out of planning that well-deserved break you’ve been promising yourself! We’ve got comfort and cleanliness covered, parking and wifi provided, and complimentary goodies on standby plus all the local insider info you’ll need to kick back and relax into your Whitstable holiday.

The Jolly is a two bedroom cottage with a kingsize bed in each, sleeping four. On a secluded private road, there’s off-street parking and an enclosed sunny garden. Beautiful beaches, independent shops and the bustling harbour are just a gentle stroll away, so you can park up and leave the car safely behind. With excellent train links into central London and other favourite Kent seaside resorts, as well as frequent buses to historical Canterbury, you’ll find loads to do, whatever the weather! Dogs stay free so you can all enjoy the nearby downs and beaches, and get a warm welcome in the many dog friendly pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance.
