Renowned for its charm, its excellent restaurants, cafes, pubs and ice cream parlours, as well as its sandy beaches and walks, Broadstairs was Charles Dickens favourite holiday place.
The flat itself is in Eagle House, a house of great historical significance, which sits on the sandy beach of Viking Bay... It was built in 1796 and is within sight of Bleak House where Dickens conceived his book of the same name. It is a converted admiral's house where the news was first brought of Nelson's victory over Napoleon.

It has a private entrance which leads right on to the beach with its splendid beach and cliff walks. Although it is on the beach it is also in the centre of town close to shops, restaurants, pubs, ice cream parlours, and all amenities. Eagle House backs on to a cliff and when inside the flat it is as though the town does not exist - no traffic noise, only the sound of sea and beach.
The flat sleeps two to four people and has two comfortable sofa beds in the living room. The bedroom has French doors which lead to the garden and the beach. No need to dress in order to go to the beach, just open the door and there it is. There is a small private patio through the French doors with a table and chairs perfect to enjoy an outdoor meal with the garden as background.
No smoking except in the garden. The property is ideal for children who can run in and out of the flat on to the beach.
