We had a lovely stay and the family loved the cottage which was comfortable. The only drawback with the place is the parking. The cottage is in a private road and residents are very territorial about parking outside their properties with signs saying not to park outside ( even though no legal right to do so) so you have to find a park elsewhere as the property doesn’t have a designated spot which makes loading car a bit difficult . The road is also very busy with cars visiting the nearby Zetland pub which is at the bottom of the lane. Apart from that small glitch the property is well situated for the coast . Would be nice if property could supply some sun loungers or deck chairs to sit in or take up to the beach .

We had a wonderful visit again this year. The cottage is great, the position excellent and the people of Kingsdown very friendly.

We spent a lovely week in Kent, and the location of the property is incredible - just a couple of minutes walk to the beach, in a beautiful village. We felt that the property was very well equipped, but it is a little tired, and it is definitely a house for someone who loves dogs. We don't have dogs, so the smell of dogs, and the amount of dog hair on the sofa was a problem for us. The letting agency were really quick to respond to us about it, offered to send someone over to clean again, and refunded our initial cleaning fee. Their customer service was faultless, and we would definitely book through them again.

We loved the location. Right next to a beach, and a pub. The cottage is charming, clean, and a relaxing place to be. Could easily have spent more time there. If we went back we'd be aware that taking bikes is a good idea. Then you could leave the car in an all too scarce parking space and enjoy a car free ride all the way to Deal.

There was a lot of pressure on this mini break. I wanted to bring my ailing 85 yr old mum and energetic 2.5 yr old daughter somewhere they would both be happy and well catered for. And iOS be able to tend to the different needs. It was perfect. The team at keepers cottage were fantastic talking through our very specific requirements. Secure sunny garden Multiple bathrooms A hop and skip to the beach. Kitchen well stocked More than that the cottage is beautiful, homely, and very clean. And I got to do what I love, morning swim in the sea. And my husband and dog joined us and they too loved it. A potentially stressful break was exactly the getaway we all needed. Thank you so much.

Had a lovely Easter weekend in this cozy cottage. In a lovely position right by the sea with a great pub nearby. Very comfortable inside & every thing you need. Short drive to Deal for shops, restaurants and the buzz of a small town. Kingstown was such a pretty village wi5h friendly locals. Thoroughly recommend a stay here.

A charming cottage very near the beach at Kingsdown, and perfect for a seaside break. The kitchen is well equipped, and the furnishings are of good quality and contribute nicely to the comfy interior. The area is quiet at night. There are no street lights in the area, which makes for pleasant stargazing on a clear night. Keepers Cottages provides a very helpful and professional service.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mary's Cottage and would like to return. There were a few tweaks that could be done - the door handle of the loo in the loft came off when we opened it on first day! And the smoke alarm is soooo loud!! None of that mattered to us. The only slight deal breaker is the very hard beds. Is there any way they could introduce toppers? Am I sounding like the Princess and the Pea?
