Barnaby’s Lodge, dating back to 1640, is brimming with character and historic charm. With its own private courtyard garden, it provides a wonderful space to unwind and relax after a day spent by the sea. We’re pleased to welcome dogs; however, we kindly ask that they are not permitted upstairs in the bedrooms. An additional pet fee of £25.00 will be requested at the time of booking. The space Parking & Local Highlights Free parking is available on the Eastern Esplanade, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the cottage and close to the famous Bleak House, where Charles Dickens wrote some of his novels. Accommodation Broadstairs has been voted the best seaside town in the South East for a getaway — and it’s easy to see why.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a breakfast bar with seating for four — ideal for relaxed mornings before heading out to explore.
