    The caravan is lovely and immaculate. It has everything you need away from home, all the amenities, down to smallest details. The host is obviously very thoughtful, left very clear instructions and very nice welcome gifts. Absolutely recommended....

NEW to 2024! PET SITTING SERVICES The Oyster Shell is pleased to offer pet sitting services for your furry friends. Pets are not allowed to be left alone in the van at any time, so if you want to pop out for lunch, dinner, or visit Canterbury for some retail therapy, we have an amazing group of animal carers who would love to cuddle your pet whilst you're out. Please enquire for prices, terms and conditions. You should find everything you need at ‘The Oyster Shell’ to enjoy your stay. Recently updated and renovated, everything is new and ready for your enjoyment. I’ve worked hard to make your holiday home as comfortable as possible. Please make sure when leaving your review it is for The Oyster Shell only. This helps my rating online as I am not responsible for the facilities and staff within the Holiday Park itself.
After divorcing in August 2021, I bought ‘The Oyster Shell’ at Park Holidays, Whitstable to be nearer to the sea and for peace and quiet with my 12 year old Irish Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier, Charlie (aka Charlie Warley). We’ve had some fantastic times and made some wonderful memories, with lovely walks around Clowes Wood, visiting Whistable and Herne Bay, as well as playing on the beach and even swimming in the sea. It’s now time for new adventures!
Whitstable is a beautiful place to visit with it's Oyster Festival and quirky shops and entertainment all year round. Stroll in to Tankerton (approx 20mins), with it’s small local shops, or further on to Whitstable (approx 50mins), for it’s great seafood cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques. Herne Bay is only 10mins by car and Canterbury with its bustling high street is under 15mins away. Regular bus services run to both from outside the holiday park. Take a walk in Clowes wood, explore historical sites or just soak up the seaside sunshine!
