Days out from the bungalow
An accessible bungalow by the sea, at your own pace
One private, step-free bungalow by the sea in Whitstable. The whole house is yours, and it isn’t a care home or a respite centre.
We aim to reply within 48 hours, and there’s no deposit until you’ve decided the house fits.
The bungalow
One bungalow, and it’s all yours
It sits on a quiet residential street in Whitstable, about ten minutes from the seafront. The driveway is private and level, takes two cars including an adapted vehicle, and the front door is straight ahead of you when you park. We’ll send you the address once your stay is confirmed.
- Private, single-storey house
- Driveway parking for two
- Level-access wet room
Inside the property
Living room, bedroom and wet room
Plan a day, or a way to pay
The harbour beach is shingle. Tankerton promenade is the level stretch. If a funder might help with the cost, we can invoice whoever you name.
Who we can invoice
You, a council, the NHS or a grant body. The bungalow rate is the same either way. We can’t promise your package will cover it.

Who built it, and who we work with
Specialist firms adapted the house. Read the full story.
A wet room in a hotel still comes with the corridor
One level, from driveway to garden
No lift to queue for, no corridor to share. The linen is already on the beds.
Only the people you came with
The whole bungalow is yours. Nobody is going to knock unless you’ve asked them to.
Heating you can reach
Controls are within reach from a seated position, so you set the temperature yourself.
What guests say
What guests wrote after staying
Keelie was tremendously helpful in explaining all the facilities, equipment and care help they could provide. The fact that they could move all the furniture around to a layout suitable for Mum was fantastic.
10/10 from me, as there was NOTHING i needed to ask for, as Restwell Retreats had catered for it all already.. and with the complex care I need, this is worth it's weight in gold
The property is beautifully presented, exceptionally clean, well equipped, and in a fantastic location. One of the highlights was waking up to the sound of birds singing each morning
If you need support while you stay
Yes if you want it, and no, you don’t have to
Plenty of guests bring their own person, or simply manage the way they do at home, and that’s completely fine. If you would like professional home care, Continuity of Care Services can come to you. They’re our sister company, they already know this house, and they’re rated Good by the CQC. One conversation covers both.
The bungalow rate stays exactly the same. Ring 01622 809881 if that’s easier than a form.
What home care here actually looks like

The house is single-storey and step-free throughout. The front door is 965mm, internal doorways are 926mm, the wet room is level-access, and there’s a ceiling hoist over the profiling bed. If you need a measurement we haven’t published, just ask and we’ll go and measure it.
