If you are searching for an escape this Summer that offers a different holiday experience then take a look at "Fagin's Den" in sunny Broadstairs! A quirky, Dickensian themed holiday cottage in South East Kent - named after the character Fagin from Oliver Twist! 

Charles Dickens really loved Broadstairs and for 20 years he often ventured down to the coast to holiday. Dickens spent a vast amount of time in Broadstairs; he is even said to have written one of his famous books ‘David Copperfield’ there. This cottage really is a one off experience transporting you back into the Victorian era! 

For over 30 years Phil & Bev have been managing the business ‘The Fishermen’s Holiday Cottages’ in Broadstairs and when given the opportunity to renovate another local property they decided they wanted to create something totally unique! The traditional cottage has been completely refurbished in a victorian style for families, friends and Dickens enthusiasts alike to enjoy!

The choice of furniture, memorabilia, books, games and artwork really does create the perfect ambience of the Victorian era. For those looking to dive right into this experience to make it even more authentic - guests are able to dress up as an Oliver Twist character in the costumes provided! Guests can completely immerse themselves in adventure as there are two fun and informative treasure hunts available. There is a treasure hunt for adults and an alternative version for children to find Fagin’s hidden stash! 

Based in Church Road, Broadstairs - the traditional cottage dates back as far as the 1860's! The cottage also has easy access to several surrounding Blue Flag beaches, local shops, award winning restaurants, family pubs and wine bars that are only a stone's throw away. A truly activity packed coastal holiday for all ages and best of all - it is in the UK! 

Fagin’s Den has two bedrooms and can comfortably sleep four guests. The team are also happy to take reservations for those looking for an escape with their dog. For those looking to venture further out, just a few miles down the road you will also find Margate which hosts the famous Turner Museum, Dreamland the Vintage Theme Park and the historical Margate Caves giving plenty of activity options! Ramsgate is another town nearby to venture out to, just a few miles in the other direction, a stunning half hour coastal walk away which boasts a beautiful royal marina, harbour, interesting war tunnels and King George VI memorial park.
