About this house rental

Cliffeside Cottage is a quintessential seaside bolt hole situated in the picturesque village of Kingsdown. New owners have recently lovingly restored and refurbished the cottage; soft textures, botanical fabrics and coastal furnishings give a luxury and relaxing feel. Cleanse away a day on the beach in the ground floor bathroom before drying off beside the woodburner. This luxury cottage is perfect for romantic weekends or family holidays by the sea. Enjoy the fresh interior and luxe style, and relish knowing little ones are made to feel just as at-home as you are with the selection of toys and games that the owners have left. The pebble beach that stretches to Deal is just yards away down a private road called 'Shrimp Lane' where characterful beach huts lie. Step through the picket gate into a delightful pebble front garden and the quaint porch sets the scene for your beach retreat.

This coastal property offers comfortable accommodation spread over three floors. The rooms at the back benefit from fantastic sea views and there is a fun porthole window in the bathroom. Outside, there is a secluded garden with table and chairs just right for lazy breakfasts in the sunshine. After an invigorating coastal walk this bolt hole offers a warm welcome home. If you enjoy reading you are spoilt for choice - borrow a book from the bookcase and curl up on the sofa or flick through a Coast magazine. There is a desk and chair set up at the cottage, which provides an ideal 'working from home' set up.

Kingsdown is a charming pebble bay sandwiched between St Margaret's Cliff and Walmer; with Deal being only 15 minutes away on foot. Your holiday home is located right on the sea front, perfect for those looking to have a seaside break away. Kingsdown is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's a very pretty village, filled with gorgeous properties and a couple of friendly pubs to grab a bite to eat and drink in the sunshine looking out to the cliffs and the sea. Whether you're looking for a family fun summer holiday or a winter’s break to enjoy cosy evening's in, whilst listening to the waves crashing against the pebbles, you are bound to enjoy your stay in Kingsdown.

We have stayed with Keepers Cottages many times and this was one of the best stays yet. Cliffeside Cottage is the most charming seaside holiday rental. You are literally a few steps to the pretty Kingsdown beach. We were so lucky as we had amazing weather so we swam every day and had picnics on the beach. We walked to St Margarets Bay twice which was the most beautiful walk up on the cliffs. We ate out several times in Deal. The cottage was comfy, cosy and idyllic. We love staying with Keepers Cottages, the team are so helpful and friendly and we will be back soon. Thank you for a truly magical stay.

Property was excellent for a short stay at the beach. Could not fault location, close to a couple of great pubs and an easy walk to Walmer Castle. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Nice touch having a Christmas tree in the lounge too

It would be helpful to let guests know that the one bathroom is downstairs at the back of the property through the dining room and kitchen. The bedrooms are on the 1st floor and 2nd floors and the stairs are quite steep. This wasn't a problem for us. The cottage was cosy and in a fantastic location. The decor is lovely and it has all the facilities needed. The fridge temperature was on the warm side. The electricity tripped twice but we fixed it. It may be connected to the oven? The garden was good to have and has a rear gate to access the pathway to the Beach. We'd recommend the popular Zetland Arms and best to book.Parking was straight forward outside the property. There was also a nearby local shop. We (5) had a great weekend there.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Cliffeside: the pleasant and well equipped house and garden is in an excellent location, near to Walmer and its castle and Deal with its unexpected delights. We also found the team at Keepers Cottages incredibly responsive and helpful. In short, we would have no hesitation in booking again.

We enjoyed a 3 night stay to celebrate a special birthday. The cottage is really beautifully decorated and we appreciated the good quality linens, Neom fragrance and Scottish Soap Co. toiletries. There was ample hot water and heating when we needed it. The village is pretty and peaceful and the beach great. We enjoyed walking to Deal and along the clifftops. We would love to stay again. The only suggestion we'd make is a more secure/robust back gate.

We had a very cosy and comfortable stay at cliffeside cottage, loved the long walk into Deal with it’s many excellent restaurants to choose from. The Zetland pub was fantastic for a drink after our dog walk. The decor in the cottage was very tasteful and we all had a wonderful NY break! Bathroom downstairs was the only negative and perhaps a Nespresso coffee machine would be a nice touch. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home!

A lovely 5 day break with my husband. 2nd visit this year. The log fire set off the living room so well. Comfy and warming. A great few pubs around the corner. Great food and drink. Easy walking distance to Deal along the coast path. Very tempted to return. Really enjoyable and a lovely find. X

This cottage is picture perfect when looking for a base to swim the English Channel, and for a quiet seaside holiday too! The team are responsive and kind, helping wherever they can to ensure our stay was stress free. Highly recommend and can’t wait to see how Cliffside grows in the future :)

The cottage was easy to find, parking wasn't an issue. Inside was lovely, clean and welcoming. The location is so ideal if you want a break away from the hustle and bustle of every day issues. There are two pubs within 400ft of the cottage and both do lovely food. The stoney beach is just 2 minutes from the cottage and is so untouched. We spent most of our time there. The cottage was comfortable, bright and lovely. Everything you need was there. We would definately go back. We have already recommended the cottage to friends and family.

A great little gem

A great little gem

Cliffeside cottage was the perfect little gem for my small family. Beautifully furnished with the comfiest beds and nice hot shower! Located just a stones throw from the beach and a couple of great pubs, it’s ideal for sunset walks and stops! A short drive is Deal (gorgeous sea side town) and Sandwich, both pretty historic towns for a great family day out! Will definitely come back!

Mini break

Mini break

Stayed with my husband for 4 nights. Birthday treat. Lovely setting. Pub(s) within walking distance. A homely house. Met all our needs. Would have been special if the fireplace was available but we were comfortable all the same. The weather was on our side and the long promenade walk to Deal was great. Deal pleasantly welcoming. Enjoyable. A perfect mini break.

Lovely Cottage by the Sea

Lovely Cottage by the Sea

We were 2 adults, 1 baby and small child staying over a long weekend in September. The perfect cottage and location for our seaside break! Kingsdown Beach was ideal for us. The Zetland Arms pub a short walk down a lane of gorgeous cottages. Deal is a short drive away with great restaurants and a lovely pier. The cottage itself was great for us, very steep stairs for a baby which is something to note. Thank you Keepers Cottages for our stay, we loved it and will be back!

Lovely little house set in a little village with all the amenities you would ever need. There is no off road parking but there are spaces on the street around the house. The house is well kitted out.

The only problem was the TV it needs a freeview box/ satelite dish and instructions. Also the same cottage before had books.

Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated - our stay in Cliffeside Cottsge was a real pleasure. The sun shone for us so we made great use of the pretty outdoor space where there was always both a sunny and a shady corner to choose from. The walk into Deal along the seafront takes about 45 minutes and was something we enjoyed immensely. Owners/property managers very responsive and helpful- simply can’t fault it.

Exceptional cottage in perfect location

Exceptional cottage in perfect location

Lovely cottage recently very tastefully refurbished. We have stayed in many cottages over the years and we have to say this is the best. So many of them are furnished with worn out furniture and quite obviously not with any thought of their guests comforts. But, the owner of this cottage has thought things out and provided their guests with good quality fittings and such nice surroundings. Unfortunately, they couldn’t control the weather and it was bitterly cold, so we couldn’t take advantage of the close proximity of the beach, and due to lockdown we couldn’t take advantage of the close proximity of the local pubs. But, definitely first class.
