We booked Narayan for a last minute break to escape the unbearable heat in London. This is a beautifully furnished recently renovated property in a wonderful quiet location, in the historical centre, close to the beach and all the amenities one could wish for.. We loved our stay and hope to return again.
We were so pleased with our stay at Carmel Cottage. The property was gorgeous with stylish furnishings and decor as well as lovely welcome amenities like Grind coffee and a tin of yummy biscuits. Plenty of room for everyone in our family to sleep and shower comfortably and enjoy the view of the ocean, too! So convenient to walk down to the Coastguard Inn for a yummy pub meal & pints. Would definitely stay here again! Management company Keepers Cottages was also very responsive and lovely to communicate with.
We had the absolute pleasure of being the first guests at the Tide House, and it did not disappoint! The home is well-equipped and comfortable, beautifully decorated, and exactly as pictured. The host was very responsive. Location is magnificent as it's just far enough from any noise from bars, but minutes walk to the lovely beaches Viking Bay and Stone Bay, as well as restaurants and shops. There are blackout curtains and comfortable beds. There is off-street parking, a dining table in the lounge that comfortably sits 8, and a delightful courtyard to have meals outside. If you have a child ...more
Very comfortable, well located for centre of town. We had a lovely stay there and wish it could have been longer.
The apartment is exactly as described. It is in the perfect location on Harbour Street and has everything you need for an enjoyable, relaxing stay.
What a lovely place to stay. The house is well laid out, beautifully styled and very comfortable. The garden behind the house was so nice to be in for evening meals and there is a little table in the front garden to catch the sun for a first cup of tea in the morning. The owners are very generous in sharing their beautiful items, furniture, and grocery basics with guests. I felt very welcome and immediately at home. My family and I would love to return.
The house is charming, bright and fresh with a well equipped kitchen and thoughtful bottle of Cremant left for us. We were a party of 5 and it felt easily spacious enough for a few days. The kitchen is well equipped and we made lunch and breakfast for ourselves each day. The courtyard garden is sheltered and was a lovely place to read when the weather was a bit crummy on the seafront. We walked in to Deal a few times and had only very good experiences with the restaurants. It wasnt luxury (that wasnt what I was looking for) but very comfortable, clean, perfectly decorated and excellent value....more
We had a wonderful family few days at this lovely house, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. Deal High Street is lovely with lots of independent shops and cafes and a great Saturday market opposite the house. Parking in surrounding roads was easy. Lots to do and see we will surely be back
Lovely spacious accommodation for a nice getaway to Ramsgate. Very child friendly which made it very convenient. Walkable to the beach and the shops and even the little park out front was nice to have. Would recommend and would stay again if we return to the area.
Such a beautiful holiday house. Very well equipped and comfortable.very spacious and well furnished with lots of toys, puzzles and games.
We enjoyed out stay at the Nook, Clean with some nice touches No issues Would recommend Private and quiet Easy access to the property Would return
We had the delight of being the first visitors for 2024 so the house was spotless - literally. It made a stay in Dover much more bearable as we were there for work. The owners had put great attention to detail to what a visitor may need for their stay. We rebooked following a quick 5 day trip to Oostende for a few more days rather than the Premier Inn. The walk over the hill behind the house was lovely too when the sun decided to make an appearance. Nice to have that on your doorstep.
A delightful and restful holiday cottage with spectacular views and extremely welcoming and helpful owners.
Lovely cottage, 5 minutes from sea and town. Good parking. Everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
We stayed in Whispering waves for a week in June, our first visit to Hythe, the cottage was perfect for us as a couple but it would also be ideal for a family. Location was great, - a short walk to the promenade and beach with no road to cross, a short walk to municipal swimming pool, park and Waitrose. The house was clean, characterful, well stocked and had everything we needed. Nice private courtyard area. The location was quiet but you will get some road noise at the front of the house at commuter times. We would definitely stay again.
The apartment is in an ideal location on the pedestrianised High street minutes from the pier and promenade. Modern, clean and very comfortable - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
Had a great week, amazing weather. Great house and back garden. Deal is great destination, good pubs and especially bars.
We had a great time staying in this small but very comfortable and clean cottage We were also so pleased to find a fan in the bedroom, kept us cool on hottest day of the year Deal was a lovely place, will have to come back and stay again when a little cooler!
Lovely Clean Lodge With All Facilities Excellent Helpful Hosts Fantastic View Of The River Stour With The Wildlife From The Lodge Window Very Peaceful Location Excellent Bus Service Of Fifteen Minutes Into Canterbury Shopping And Restaurants Local Grocery Store Ten Minutes From Lodge
Had a great trip with 5 friends for my 60th Birthday. Beautiful house with great bar overlooking the beach. Good location for restaurants and local attractions.
Beautiful spacious house close to the beach and seafront. Lots.of lovely delis and cafes nearby too
We spent eleven nights in the cottage and really enjoyed it! The cosy cottage with lot of lovely details, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, made our time in Kent a real pleasure. It couldn’t have been a better place to get through the heatwave!
It’s our second trip back to Parsonage Farm and it didn’t disappoint, we benefitted from glorious weather so really made the most of the outdoor seating area. The location is great for us as the cycle routes around are very good and the owners left us the shed key so we could store bikes and golf clubs easily. I’m sure we will be back for a third visit.
We loved Fisherman's Cottage. It was well equipped to a high standard in a lovely location close to the heart of Deal. I would recommended this to family and friends. We were also impressed with the help and the responsiveness of Keepers Cottages.
This was the perfect place for a family holiday. Well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable - especially the beds! We all had a great time.
Lovely cottage and good location about 20 minutes walk from Sandwich town. Coop nearby and a lot of pubs. Highly recommend The Bell Hotel and The Crispin Inn. Not as many shops in the town. . Ramsgate, Dover, Broadstairs close for day trips. House well equipped and very clean. The stairs in the house are quite steep and parking is a problem.
I had a lovely short stay at this perfectly formed little house. It has been beautifully renovated and had everything I needed. As I was there in early March, I made good use of the woodburner! Customer Service was perfect too.
We booked the accommodation for the mens england sea angling team as we where fishing the home nations tournament in Kent The house was perfect in every way great space for everyone to prepare for the tournament Comfy beds, fantastic kitchen and dining areas and outside space The team loved it and we won gold
We are a multi generational family of 7, with ages from 24 to 96. The house was perfect for our family get together – lovely bedrooms, great communal living spaces and a stunning view out over the cliffs to the channel beyond. The Kitchen was perfect for family meals and, given most of the rooms were on one level, it was perfect for my 96 year old Father in Law to move around. He spent much of his time with binoculars or book in the conservatory area. The rest of us explored the fabulous historical towns and beachside and cliff views. Great walking straight from the house, or lovely drives to...more
Great location and very quiet street. The beach and high street are literally a couple of minutes walk it either direction. The cottage is well equipped to a high standard and well furnished. The courtyard garden is very pretty and private. The downstairs kitchen diner, lounge are looks out onto the courtyard and is accessible by French doors. The only issue for some people would be the steep stairs which are typical of this kind of cottage. We ate at number 81, the Deal Pier Kitchen and had coffee & cake at Hope & Lane which were all excellent. We walked along the seafront to Walter c...more
Excellent stay with first class service from the team at Keepers Cottages thank you for all your professionalism
Well equipped and a great location between the high street and the beach. The stairs are very steep to each floor. The entrance to the roof terrace is a little awkward but a nice addition; this is the only outside space.
We had a brilliant time at The Granary - the accommodation was superb, just as pictured. The location was idyllic with walks from the doorstep. So much to do in the area! Our hosts were fabulous - very friendly and knowledgeable, and the marmalade and fresh herbs went down a treat! Would definitely recommend
This is such a special house and a privilege to stay in a much loved family home. The interior design is gorgeous. The location is incredible and great to swim every day and hitch the ladder down to the shingle. Every day I said ‘wow’ as the view of the sea and sky from the huge windows is breathtaking. Peaceful location, beautiful sunrises. 2 min walk to the Coastguard pub, Deal pier kitchen for brunch, great walks in the area. THANKYOU !
Loved this chalet! Even better than in the pics. Comfortable, homely, all the cooking bits etc you need. Recommend and plan to go back at some point. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had a wonderful summer long weekend staying here as a family. The location was perfect and allowed us to have easy beach days with a young family. The house was comfortable and had all we needed, even games and colouring in for our kids! Thank you for the lovely stay and we would love to come again!
Printers Place is ideally situated for the centre of Deal, there was everything and more that you need at the property to enjoy your stay, the owners have covered every eventuality very well. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and would book there again. I was unable to get the hang of the parking meter in the nearby car park but found free parking nearby, if you turn right outside the property, then left, then right, go past the school, along that road, about 500 yards, you will find free parking.
Lavender Apartment is immaculate and designed to a very high standard. There's a great little café opposite, and the beach is only a couple streets away. We were visiting family in East Kent and would difinitely stay at Lavander Apartment again in the future.
Wonderful property and location, would highly recommend. Wonderful property and location, would highly recommend.Wonderful property and location, would highly recommend.
WOW just Wow!!! This property is absolutely incredible! The listing really buried the lead which is the phenomenal expansive piece of land that this gorgeous home sits on. Right on the edge of the White cliffs, we enjoyed magical moonlit evenings, family bbq on the green egg smoker, campfire marshmallows with from gorgeous welcome amenity basket (which also included a bottle of Kentish wine, gourmet crisps, gourmet chocolate, and other sweet & savory snacks). We loved the cheeky art pieces in the sitting room downstairs ;) The kitchen is fully kitted out and we had everything we needed to pr...more
The cottage was very spacious and comfortable for our family, which consisted of 8 spread over 3 generations. There were 2 playrooms which were enjoyed by the grandchildren, plus a very large garden for them to run around in and explore. Also, there were other play things in the outdoor shed including a paddling pool which was great for them to use in the very hot weather we had during our week's stay. Inside there was a children's room with ceiling lights and walls covered in an undersea mural. The children, and adults, loved it. Nearby there was a fantastic farm shop, Gibson's Farm Shop...more
This is a great modern apartment with lovely new furniture, fixtures and fittings, very good kitchenware, comfortable bed, good bedding and towels and plenty of hot water. There’s a great view of the Timeball on the seafront and it’s less than a ten minute walk to the centre of town and another few minutes to the beach. There are two supermarkets nearby plus a great fishmonger, a butcher and deli in town plus the Saturday market for self catering needs. We loved it here and plan to stay again despite the apartment being three floors up with no lift. Undercover parking was a bonus. Highly recom...more
Lovely comfortable cottage. Very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Will definitely book again!
The cottage is lovely. It has everything we needed. The close proximity to the beach was wonderful. The cottage was clean, comfortable and stylish. We have a dog and it was great for her. The Zetland Arms is a great place for food and drink. Good access to the White Cliffs Area. Thank you for a great stay.
We had a fabulous New Year with family and friends at Downs Cottage. The house is stunning and its location right next to the beach made our stay really special. We absolutely loved the open plan kitchen / lounge area, a perfect place to host a gathering of family and friends.
A lovely week away from the pressures of life, walking, cycling and swimming. Excellent accommodation close to the sea and within walking distance of the local pub A very enjoyable walk or cycle ride along the coast path towards Deal is recommended.
Very enjoyable stay at Christmas House. Clean, comfortable and interesting property. Just beware if the stairs if you are a little unsure like me. Overall though we had a lovely, peaceful stay in this well positioned well equipped house.
Such a stunning home in the perfect location in Deal. We were very lucky with weather and was able to enjoy the gorgeous garden. The home was perfect for our group, with the options of multiple rooms with twin beds. Incredibly comfortable, well situated and very well maintained. You can see the love that has gone into this gorgeous home. Thanks again!
We have rented a property through Keepers Cottage before, but this one really stood out for us. The house was really super clean, always a pleasant start to your holiday. Villa Vita is comfortably furnished, and thanks to the conservatory and garden, you have just that little bit of extra space to relax. The house is located a very short walk from the center and the sea. In addition, there are 2 supermarkets a short distance away, and right outside the door is a small park where you can stroll through. Furthermore, parking was absolutely no problem, something that is always a plus...more
We have stayed in numerous Keepers houses over the years usually needing 3-4 bedrooms for two generations. Most have been very good, one or two limited and one or two excellent. The Pink House is probably the best we have stayed in with its four bedrooms, two bathrooms and normal stairs!! Again is near High Street and beach, great location. We will definitely return
We had to change our booking from the Pink House to Dexters at last minute because of building noise next door. We’ve stayed at Dexters many times in the past but had forgotten how steep and awkward the stairs are for people now in their late 70s. The house is great but won’t be staying there again!!
The Pebble Cove apartment is a delightful accommodation. The layout is simple but effective. The bedroom, lounge and loft are all quite spacious. The kitchen is compact but well equipped. I appreciated that the chefs knives were hefty and sharp. The bathroom is a quite spacious. The owners have decorated with flair and the whole feel is very cozy and welcoming. The views out to Walmer Green and Beach are wonderful. The apartment has a terrific location. There are a couple of cafes and pubs less than a 5 minute walk from the entrance. The only, very minor issue, is that the bedroom lacks a t...more
We had a lovely stay at Pier View. It was very convenient and central and had everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable. The window seat overlooking the sea was very special. We would definitely recommend it to others.
A lovely house in a great location. Close to Old Town, New Town, Railway station and shops. Lots of restaurants nearby too.
Homely accommodation , welcoming and with provision for every need. Excellent location , minutes from the beach , the town and a variety of bars and restaurants.
Lovely cottage in a perfect spot. I struggled personally due to low water pressure bathroom and food waste handling but might not matter to others
We have stayed at Claires Cottage a number of times. It's a lovely place to stay, with a pretty cottage garden to come back to after days out. Hythe is a great town and to stay and easy to find somewhere to visit.
We picked this property because we were attending a family wedding in Upchurch and the wedding party were staying at Great Higham Farm. I do not know this area. The house was very comfortable and clean and the air conditioning was very welcome. The kitchen facilities were great but we were not in the property very much of the time. The bedrooms were functional albeit one of them was quite small and the door would not open fully. The location was fairly remote which we hadn't realised. The staff at Keepers Cottages were very helpful and swift to answer any queries. The information at the pr...more
We were a mixed gerneration party of 10 and had a brilliant stay at the Farmhouse. It's a beautiful house and gardens, with plenty of room and has everything you need for your stay. Tennis courts/pool table perfect for entertainment at the house. Couldn't recommend it enough.
A lovely ‘cottage’, very cosy with handy parking. A lovely location and only 5mins from the seafront. The accommodation had everything we needed, well-equipped kitchen, great lounge and comfy beds, and that all made for a very enjoyable weekend break. Hoping to make a return visit very soon
The property was very nice and comfortable and the owners very amicable and friendly. On arrival we found that rubbish bins had not been emptied also on further inspection we found cobwebs around all the Velux windows on opening them. There was also a problem with the fridge ( needed defrosting) as the freezer door did not close properly, this was rectified by the owner, therefore, problem solved. It appears to me that your cleaners are not taking care when cleaning the property and insufficient inspections of properties are carried out. In future we will be booking the Blue Lodge again hoping...more
We had a lovely 2 nights at Tally Ho cottage. It is well positioned between the sea and high St. It has a well equipped kitchen and 2 good bathrooms. We enjoyed the quirkiness of the house property and the kitchen outside space.
Lovely house. Surprising heat gain, especially in the children’s bedroom for what is in effect a new build architect designed home. It wasn’t even especially warm weather during our stay. Everything else was first class.
We had a lovely stay at Ravenscourt as a group of four friends. The location is fantastic - just a short walk to the beach, with a handy cut‑through that everyone uses to get down to the seafront. The house itself is a charming Victorian terrace and beautifully furnished throughout, with a really welcoming feel. On‑street parking can be a bit tricky at times, but that’s fairly typical for Whitstable and didn’t cause us too much trouble. We didn’t use the kitchen facilities during our stay as we preferred to sit out in the garden, which was a lovely spot to relax. A couple of small things...more
The Bay is a conveniently located flat, a short walk from buses and shops. We travelled by train and it's a relatively easy walk to the property. From there it's a similar walk, but with some steep bits, to the harbour which is a spectacularly good restoration of the old harbour station and where there's plenty of choice for food and drink. There's plenty to see in Folkestone, but the buses are nearby for trips along the coast. The heating has been made very easy to control and the kitchen is well equipped.
We booked this house as there were 6 adults on and off throughout the week and we wanted to be comfortable for space and room for 3 cars. We definitely had this and it was very well furnished with all equipment we needed. There was a bit of glitch with the water heating but that was easily solved with Hayley and didn’t spoil our holiday. We did a lot of walking despite the rainy weather as it is right near the beach (although we had thought it was nearer to Whitstable than it was)! Shame we couldn’t use the garden and bbq because of the weather but it did look good
I have mixed ratings for Portobello Cottage. The online description, cleanliness, and communication with host would be 4-5 stars. However, this property just didn't work for our family of 4: mom, dad, and two teenage daughters, all over 5'10" tall. The 3rd floor bathroom was not able to be used. The handheld "shower" was too small/short for any of us. We all had to share the second floor shower which was pretty small (could barely raise arms to wash hair, and no space to change clothes). Everything about the accommodation was just too small for our family--even though the property was exa...more
The cottage was absolutely beautiful and perfectly maintained in a great location. Unfortunately there were no fans and our arrival day was the hottest of our stay. The first night was unbearable. We rang Keepers Cottages the next day who contacted the owner who said that she was unable to obtain fans anywhere...we also couldn't find any in Deal either with the current hot temperatures. Surely with hotter climate, fans are something that should be standard and bought for the property during off season,.rather than when people start to complain during the summer. I therefore couldn't recommen...more
Very responsive customer service and fantastic to deal with, shout out to Michaela…big thanks. The cottage itself was super clean and comfortable, a real home from home. The location could not be better. A few minutes walk from the High Street but tucked away enough to be quiet. Cafe, takeaway, pub and co-op virtually on your doorstep. Whitstable is a real gem. We will be back!
A gorgeous holiday home with plenty of space for an extended family, perfect location and lovely interiors, with a comfortable set up. Very well equipped kitchen. Quiet but close to beach and high street.
Good location. (+Great coffee shop almost next door). Excellent property (apart from a couple of loose door handles). Lovely clean house.
Great location by the sea with lovely restaurants nearby. Cosy and comfortable house and beautifully decorated. Great having downstairs bedroom and bathroom but not easy for people with limited mobility! Keepers cottage company very responsive and super friendly.
Lovely place to stay in Whitstable and the location was great. Parking was a nightmare though , yes no permit was needed but it was so hard to park on the street and when we did manage to park the street is so narrow I didn't feel comfortable leaving the car as was worried about being hit or scratched. There is a carpark nearby but this was very expensive .That was the only downside to our stay would probably come and stay again though . The lovely arrival gestures of crisps, cookies and apple juice were a nice touch too
The Rabbit Hole is a lovely and very comfortable property. It is set in a rural location, but is only a short drive to the many places of interest along the Kent coast. The Rabbit Hole is very well equipped with everything you need for your stay, and has beautiful views over the countryside and towards the coast. The owners, Alan & Yvette, were very welcoming and most helpful during our stay. Our week passed by very quickly, and we look forward to returning to the Rabbit Hole again.
Beautiful and tasteful apartment with a lovely sea view. Beautiful antique items and paintings. Everything matches. It is also ideal that you have your own parking. The internet did not always work as it should. The 3-seater sofa in the living room needs replacing, I think. It is a pity because it fits nicely into the interior, but it is absolutely worn out. Keepers Cottage gets 5 stars from me because of the excellent service. Kind regards, Veerle Antwerp Belgium
We were a family of 6 adults and 5 children, age range 15 years to 5 years. The property was very much as described in the brochure, and was ideal for us. In particular, the bedrooms are well set out, and there are more than enough bathrooms to go round. Also, the property is very well equipped and is designed to cater for large groups.We did have one serious problem in that the swimming pool water on our arrival was green and opaque, and not suitable for swimming. We phoned Keepers Cottages, and they arranged for the pool maintenance engineer to call the next morning, The issue was quickly re...more
We stay in Deal often - this was one of the very nicest cottages we have come across. The stairs to the top floor are extremely steep so something to bear in mind!
A very nice house, well situated close to all the fun stuff in Folkestone. I was concerned before we went that it might be noisy at night from bars and clubs, but in fact it was totally fine and quiet. Even the cars on the road outside are quite quiet from the front bedroom, which is right at the top of the house. Keepers are brilliant to deal with, e.g. I couldn't find the heating controls, but they talked me through it right away on the phone without delay or fuss. Folkestone has so much going for it, whether you're coming for a weekend or longer.
Pebble cottage was very well presented and very clean. Very well equipped. In a wonderful position near the beach.
We had a wonderful time at Penshurst house. It was a great location and super clean and stylish. Great to unwind in the cinema snug basement at the end of the day! Highly recommend!
Lovely stay at Woodmans cottage. Very comfortable, clean and beautiful gardens. Very well equipped, every need catered for. Beds super comfortable! Secure garden for dogs, good walk at victory woods - 3 minute drive. Lovely host too! Thank you
This is the second time we’ve stayed at St Mary’s House as it’s the ideal location for visiting my family nearby. It’s a lovely place for us to stay. It is spacious, with an extremely well stocked kitchen. Everything is well looked after, and it has a beautiful garden. Two pubs within walking distance that both serve great food is a bonus! The only thing that would make this even better for us would be a larger TV and more comfortable seating in the sitting room. We’ve enjoyed both our stays, and hope to be back
We had a wonderful stay in Deal. The apartment is in the perfect spot on the High Street and near the beach. We loved the terrace, and people watching from the bay window. The apartment is beautifully decorated and furnished. Loved it!
18 people from 2 families over 3 generations + dogs. We had a wonderful time. The weather was brilliant allowing us to make full use of the outdoor facilities. It was a lovely surprise to find the tennis court had been mown and the lines painted - it was well used. The huge trampoline was also well used. The garden was immaculate but with interesting nooks and crannies. The fencing was secure enabling us to let the dogs to run freely. We found the Keepers Cottages staff very friendly and helpful (and on the end of the phone when needed) and we would certainly trust them to provide...more
Very comfortable, well equipped house, with everything you could need, just a few minutes walk from the sea. Very comfortable beds too. Less than a minute walk from the seafront and the high street. Enjoyed our stay very. I h.
The Loft was the ideal location to discover Whitstable for the first time. The loft is perfect for a couple or young family and was one of the few places we could find that was central and had reserved off-street parking. The loft itself was beautifully decorated with all the facilities needed for a 'home from home' stay. The location is excellent, with the apartment only a 2-minute walk from the beach and the high street, which features a great range of independent shops and a supermarket. Whitstable has a lot to offer and we enjoyed long walks along the seafront to Tankerton and back, alw...more
The cottage was a very comfortable and roomy stay for a family of 5, where a quite space if needed could be enjoyed. Little touches of welcome were most appreciated and added to our Christmas experience. We very much look forward to visiting again in the near future.
Property in a great location for everything you need for your holiday...lounge furnishings a little tired and not the most comfortable and some of the kitchen equipment could have been better thought out...however we enjoyed our stay and the agency very helpful throughout
Excellent property in good condition and comfortable. Great location for the beach and beach bars/restaurants. 5/10 minute walk to the town centre and station.
Sea view was perfect! Stunning views, great location, comfortable apartment and very funky furniture too. Would absolutely stay here again. Also loved Folkestone and explored the area a lot with walks, beach sauna, live music at the harbour arm, and the lovely silver screen cinema. Fabulous!
This was my second stay at The Corner House, and once again everything was spotless. The house is beautifully maintained and has a lovely enclosed courtyard, which is perfect for my little dog. The location is ideal – just a couple of minutes’ walk from the seafront and only a short stroll to the high street, making it easy to enjoy everything Deal has to offer. I would definitely recommend The Corner House to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing break away.
Fabulous accommodation, well equipped with lovely rooms. Superb location with breathtaking and atmospheric views of the sea - whatever the weather! Conveniently located next to the Zetland Arms. Attending a family wedding at nearby Ripple Court, so less opportunity to avail ourselves of all the nearby amenities. Highly recommended and sad to leave.
We had a fantastic stay at Poplar Farmhouse and Barn. Nine of us met up to celebrate our friendship of over 45 years, and the roomy and comfortable farmhouse and barn met our needs perfectly. We especially loved sitting in the warm, sunny summerhouse while looking out at the garden, and enjoyed the views from the outside benches. The location was perfect for visiting the lovely town of Sandwich, a run out to Deal and a trip to Margate for lunch and to see the Tate. Comfy beds, plenty of food storage options, lots of parking, lovely grounds... all perfect.
From the moment we stepped into The Abode, its character and warmth were simply enchanting. The careful restoration of the 15th-century cottage, paired with modern comforts like a fully equipped kitchen, Wi-Fi and Sky glass TV made our stay both cosy and convenient. The location couldn’t be better - a short walk to my parents place, the Abode is nestled among charming shops and riverside walks, yet surprisingly quiet. Best of all, our dog was welcome. Truly a perfect stay—already planning a return!
Rogues cottage was a beautiful stay for our wedding weekend and we hope to return again. It was great we could bring our pug with us. The house is styled and decorated exquisitely. There are some lovely details like tunnocks tea cakes and tea and coffee included. Plus things like dishwasher tablets and washing powder which make it feel homely. The beds were very comfy and the bed linens high quality. The bathroom is a stand out feature with a beautiful, large shower and bath. The location was fantastic - very central. We had no issues with parking as there are free bays very close by on ...more
A very comfortable, clean and spacious property with great outdoor space incl parking. Love the open plan kitchen diner. We had a wonderful stay. Our only negative comments were regarding the sofa, lack of fans and no coffee machine! The brown/gold sofa lets the living space down. It’s overly soft/low/deep and always looks messy due to the number of large velour type cushions. We found it very uncomfortable. It was very hot on arrival. After several days of hot weather the bedrooms in the roof were unbearably hot. Appreciate the temperatures were extreme but given 2 of the 3 bedrooms upsta...more
The Cow and Cockle is quirky and bijou as stated. We stayed for a week and to be honest it was a bit too small for us having been used to a larger property hence the title of my review. The house is well equipped with everything that we expected and I enjoyed sitting in the courtyard garden except when the pub down the road had a karaoke evening! The location of this proprty is ideal for exploring all of the delights of Deal and handy for shopping. You are literally just round hte corner from the Saturday market and high st. The bed was comfy, great towels. We had a few issues with the f...more
Lovely cottage, quiet and convenient for the beach, bright and warm and everything we needed, parking excellent, couldnt have asked for more.
Great place to stay for exploring local Kent towns - you do need a car to get out and about. Nice pub a short walk away serving perfectly acceptable food. Property itself is lovely - exceptionally clean and comfortable, and very well equipped.
We loved staying at the barn to celebrate my 70th birthday. We were 6 adults and a child and a baby. We stayed in July 26 when it was extremely hot. Both the living area and the upstairs bedrooms got very hot. We were very grateful for the two tower fans provided but we could have done with two more, so each bedroom had one. We moved them into the living area during the day. We felt that blinds were needed on the very large south west facing windows in the open plan living area. This would have made it much cooler and more comfortable. All the other windows had blinds. The beds were extremel...more
amazing property - miles above the standard holiday cottage Brilliant location right on SSSI shore
The Cottage was delightfully decorated and well equipped. It was very comfortable and was a relaxing place to stay. We liked the well maintained courtyard.
We loved our stay at west cliff, it was perfect for a multi generational seaside break. The spacious kitchen area opening onto the garden was great for socialising. The toy room was well stocked and a huge hit with our four year old. Gorgeous decor throughout and everything we needed.
I would love to write only superlatives but unfortunately this would not reflect our experience. When I arrived I knew the place wasn't exactly to my taste but one has to be philosophical and fair. The location at least is good, mere moments from the seashore. It was my birthday weekend, a rare treat away after some very challenging months. When we arrived we found no hand soap, cobwebs galore adoring the garden furniture ( garden unmown) and later I realised there were no products provided either, ie shower gel et al. Not deal breakers but surprising in an expensive property. Once repo...more
Third stay in three yesrs, second time with family. Very nice accommodation offering a superbly equipped kitchen and lots of space for two families.
We stayed here for a week with family and it was honestly the best house we could’ve wished for. we enjoyed the garden in sunny weather, stayed indoors and cocooned on the couch during rain and loved to play table tennis in the barn. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was also a lovely walk away from the pub and other amenities. In case we go to Kent again with family, we would love to book the Moat Farm House again! It truly felt like home for a week.
The Bothy suited us well. The owner, Chris, was quick to respond and rectify a problem with an alarm. Thank you Chris. Despite knowing that no-one could see in, not having window blinds in the bathroom and ensuite was a little off-putting. Having a receptacle for recyclables in the utility room would be helpful as would a tea caddy in the well equipped kitchen area. All in all we would recommend The Bothy to others and we may return sometime ourselves.
We enjoyed the lovely garden, resplendent with rose bushes in full bloom, and our dog appreciated the outdoor space. The cottage is generally comfortable but could use some upgrades. The carpeting had some stains on the stairs and we were asked to pay for extra cleaning, though we did not feel we were responsible and there was no appropriate equipment for keeping the place clean. The location is excellent for getting to the train and grocery as well as just a short walk from the High Street and a couple more blocks to the sea.
Fantastic location just moments from the beach, shops and cafes. Comfortable beds, lovely little garden and everything in the kitchen that you need. A few decorative repairs needed but didn’t detract from the lovely experience.
Lovely accommodation overlooking the sea. Small but everything we needed for 2 nights. Plenty of outside space and quiet as not yet full season. Beach was busy with locals as it was a weekend. Only downside was lack of local amenities, no shop for supplies and only one place to eat within walking distance. Would stay again, thank you
Group of four 60+ yr old school friends had the best time in this apartment. Stylish, comfortable, all the equipment you could possibly want, top quality outside furniture on massive terrace, perfect central location, yards from beach. We hope to be back
Lovely cottage, beautifully furnished, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Lovely deck area in the back garden for morning sun, coffee and relaxing. Very close to the beach (3 mins walk) and extensive coastal paths. Great food and drinks can be had at the lovely Zetland Arms.
We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf in The old barn. Het huisje was licht en smaakvol ingericht, ook voorzien van het nodige comfort en basisbenodigdheden ( toiletpapier, keukenkruiden, thee,keukenhanddoeken,handwaspompje…) Er is een grote afgesloten tuin met zicht op de velden eromheen.Tuintafeltje en 4 stoelen zijn voorzien. De frigo is erg klein voor 3 volwassen personen… hou hier rekening mee. Het huisje is ook gelegen naast een vrij drukke weg(overdag). Je kan te voet op 15’ naar het gezellige centrum waar je heel wat eetgelegenheden en een supermarkt vindt. De zee (natuurgebied)is ...more
This house is delightful but unfortunately has been sadly neglected in certain areas...the patio window needs replacing, plinths in the kitchen are all loose, shower needs updating, lighting system is far too complicated in the rooms, some blinds are broken (in the garden lounge). When we were there it was baking hot and I can't believe that a house like this doesn't have a fan anywhere?! Also the outside table needs a parasol for baking hot weather! Only two saucepans in the kitchen and no colander! The house needed cleaning properly, all the kitchen cupboards were quite grubby on the fronts....more
Great place to stay for either a family/families or group heading to Kent Golf Coast. Highly recommend.
Ideal property for myself and my husband. Very comfortable and spacious. Also a great location in Deal. It was nice and quiet, but handy for the beach and the town.
Great location and perfect for stays with dogs. Bedrooms lovely. Sweet little courtyard garden. Lounge comfortable. Kitchen could do with updating. Hardly any work tops for preparing food, musty smelling cupboards and very random cupboard full of owners collectibles. Overall though a good stay.
Lovely Cottage and a very nice stay. Only issue was there are no bins for recycling - just one wheely bin outside, so we left cardboard beside that and put glass in other people's bins. Otherwise was great.
Quirky and interesting building and we enjoyed being so close to the centre and beaches. Clean and tidy and beds very comfortable. Could be a little more information on how things worked and places to see; and a washing line/airer would be useful. Parking a problem everywhere in Whitstable but there are frequent buses to Canterbury and other places such as Herne and Tankerton.
Facilities at Noggins were excellent and comfortable. The cottage is close to the beach, and we were lucky to have sunshine throughout our stay, so we didn’t spend much time indoors. There are shops and pubs nearby. Do take note of the comment about the stairs—quite tricky, even for able-bodied people.
A smart terraced house with a tiny cobbled garden which needs a bit of attention. The house would be quite tight for 8 people but it suited our purposes. The parking space at the rear was useful at the weekend.
A great spot right on the seafront, the house is well maintained and equipped. Thank you for a lovely stay. Anyone with elderly relatives or small children should avoid the loft room since the stairs are a very steep ladder rather than a staircase but absolutely fine for most adults. A beautiful spot.
A wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet, and just switching off for a few days with family. Stand in front of the cottage, facing the fields ahead of you, and just listen to the soothing silence, a real change from our city life. Well-positioned for access to plenty of nice beaches, best of which was Ramsgate, less than 30 mins drive.
A good location with parking. Comfortable beds & comfortable lounge furniture. Well appointed kitchen. The back yard needs some TLC, needs a bit a makeover. (Bit grim) We enjoyed the large conservatory though! Appreciated the Welcome Items provided. Keepers Cottages are a very nice company to book through, thank you. We would stay again!
A cosy, comfortable and spacious cottage. Only some foot steps to the beach. Quiet location with nice garden. All amenities nearby. A historic cottage with atmoshere.
I have stayed in a lot of Whitstable properties and this was one of the best. Well located for the beach and Harbour Street, it has a good and relaxing feel about it. Well decorated throughout (without the seaside cliches!) I particularly liked the bathroom with a walk in shower. The cottage didn't have any fans or air con so you need to take your own during hot weather. For young kids and the elderly the steep-ish stairs should be noted. Would happily return.
Spent a lovely week at The Hide in Deal. The location was ideal for the beach and the town with a vast choice of good eating places. The house was very well equipped with all you could need and it was very quiet at all times despite being so near to amenities. Would 100% recommend the Hide for a great holiday.
Absolutely loved Oldestairs House. The bedrooms are great. The reception rooms are generous and comfortable. There's a wonderful, relaxed ambiance to the house which adds to the holiday vibe. There are some fabulous walks from the door. The weather was terrible, but the house has enough room to accommodate the great British vacation. Ubers in the area are also really easy to get so we could walk to St Margaret's Bay and taxi back when the rain came in. The games room could do with a little love, and we missed the football table (which appears in the photos, but was not in the house). I would...more
We loved Coop’s Landing. The location was fantastic, so close to the narrow lanes and alleys of Deal’s historic conservation area. Bars, cafes and historic pubs on the doorstep and the sea only a few steps away.
Had a lovely week again, great weather, great location, lovely seaside feel to the cottage, hope to return next year
The bed was the most comfortable one we've ever slept in.The sitting area in the bedroom was very relaxing. The bathroom was quirky but lovely .unfortunately we stayed during the heatwave which the house was not equipped for. The kitchen and utility rooms were scorching hot. Some blackout blinds are desperately needed and also in the front room. There are no fans anywhere to use . The kitchen was well equipped. The utility room was very dirty with weeds growing indoors. We left it cleaner than we found it. When it rained lots of water came in under the back door . The excuse of a small gar...more
A very comfortable cottage with excellent facilities. Pity the local pub no longer serves food. Could have done with welcome details, took us a while to find the WiFi code! Only complaint, in the hot weather cotton bedding would have been much more preferable to the polyester.
Very cute cottage in a great location just a few paces from Kingsdown beach. Tastefully decorated and warm but was unfortunately in a rather 'tired' state for our stay. The beds were not of a good standard and the cottage was in need of a deep clean and some 'TLC' fixes. Communication from Keepers Cottages was excellent however.
The property was warm and cosy, kitchen equipment was disappointing. The house could do with some TLC
Great location, nice and comfortable and lovely small garden to relax in. Perfect place to stay to enjoy Deal!
We really loved the house, surrounding and location of this house. There is plenty of space and a very well equipped kitchen. We truly can recommend this place for your stay!
We had a week at Poppy cottage and it did not disappoint. The cottage was clean and comfortable and we stayed in the heatwave but the cottage stayed lovely and cool. The location is fantastic for pubs and the beach and we had some very beautiful scenic walks. We loved kingsdown so much we are thinking of moving there. 10 out of 10 stay
The location is perfect. The house is nice and comfortable and has everything you need for your stay there. On sunny days it’s a joy to open up the back of the house. Just a five minute walk from the city center. Very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is practical and has everything you need.
We stayed at Pond Cottage for a week in June with my parents and two dogs. The accommodation was cozy and well equipped, with a private enclosed garden which was great for our dogs. The owners and staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. It was very quiet on site all week and we were able to make use of the fields for wonderful dog walks. The cottage had two bathrooms, each with a bath but no shower. Having a shower would have been more convenient, this is the only thing I can mention which would’ve improved our stay. We had a great time and would recommend.
Very pretty and comfortable and on a lovely street handy for the seafront and high st. My twin room had two good-sized beds and didn't remotely feel like a 'kid's room'. The only bad point was that we couldn't get any hot water out of the overhead shower, but we managed with the hand-held one.
We have been comig to Deal for many years now and once again we had a great time. This was our first stay at Blue Skies and it is certainly a perfect cottage for exploring Deal and Kent. The kitchen and dining area are huge and you will find anything you need for preparing whatever meal you fancy. You'll find the three bathrooms / toilets, one on.suite, two with showers, very convenient, too. The three besrooms are equipped with comfy beds and sizewise ok. The living-room is fatastic. Two comfortable sofas and the chairs by the bay-window make it georgeous. The location, Albert Square, is uniq...more
Overall this is nicely refurbished accommodation in a good location near shops and the beach. It has been quirkily accessorised, well furnished and nicely decorated. However there were sadly lots of niggles. Kitchen is small, fridge opens on the wrong side - the kitchen door and wall obstruct access. The cookware provided is not safe, pans are flimsy and tip over on the hob. The utensils are cheap, the tongs do not work! No privacy blind on the landing window. Washbasin in the bathroom on the middle floor is too small for the tap, water splashes everywhere, no shower over the bath, the en sui...more
The cottage is well situated and well appointed. It is clean and offers excellent facilities. There are lots of glasses and plates in the kitchen. Strangely enough we could not find a vegetable peeler: it would be good to check the basics are covered. However we are delighted with our stay and would recommend the cottage to family and friends.
Chalet No. 5 was perfect for our family weekend away. It’s exactly like the photos and we were very comfortable there. The stairs are very steep (as pictured) so my father took the downstairs bunk room. The horse box cafe next door was a lovely addition and her hot drinks and yummy breakfast sandwiches were delicious. She is only there at weekends and during school holidays though. The walk to the beach is very quick and easy (although uphill on the way back) and the two pubs at the beach were very welcoming. We would definitely come again.
We stayed for a long weekend and loved everything about this little house. The location was great, few steps to the highstreet with it's quirky shops, the harbour and the beach. Loved exploring all the old alley ways and cut throughs between the pretty houses. House is located at the end of a no through road and we were able to find on street parking with no problem. Would absolutely recommend
Stone’s Throw was a great place to stay for the weekend. The cottage was clean and comfortable and provided us with all we needed for a pleasant stay. The location was super too.
Started off badly as given wrong alarm code so had to involve neighbours who kindly stepped in as this was often happening apparently. Beautiful house, well equipped but maintenance could be better. Unable to close curtains as hanging off rail which was unfortunate in heat and at night bad loss of privacy. Could not use freezer or air fryer as sorry to say too dirty. We found front door locks stiff and hard to use. On positive side the back garden was beautiful, everything needed was there, location was lovely and we enjoyed our holiday. It just needs a good clean as many cobwebs were ...more
Fantastic location right on the beach and house accommodation itself exactly what we wanted for the 3 days booked. Outside area a little tired, decking broken and unstable in places, garden furniture a bit rickety.
Beautiful house in lovely and very quiet area. Perfect for a big family group with young children, especially in summer with the doors open and using the garden. House well equipped and nice complimentary touches like sparkling wine. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We had a few issues with hot water tap (needed resetting), stovetop (hidden on / off switch with no instructions) and wifi (guidance was to request it) all of which could have been resolved with quicker customer service from Keepers / more instructions in the house manual. Didn’t detract from our a lovely overal stay.
We did thoroughly enjoy our stay at Undercliff, the location was perfect and the customer service when we had a few queries were very prompt. In terms of feedback, the house itself is quite tired looking and could do with an upgrade. One of the bedrooms has a double bed but is really too small for a couple to sleep in comfortably. The garden needs some tender love and care, it could be lovely. There was only one beach towel that we could find in the utility room, the guest folder suggested there were more. It would be helpful to provide garden chairs for the front garden to sit in the shade, w...more
Ideal little place for a quiet break, perfectly located for the beach and town. Everything provided for your stay but could do with a little updating of furniture, especially beds which were all singles and a little uncomfortable. Lacked storage/hanging space in the bedrooms and shower doors stiff to open.. Provision of kitchen equipment good but again could do with a little updating especially glasses and mugs - only one wine glass.Although there were 4 garden chairs there wasn't a table so we were unable to eat outside which would have been lovely. Overall it is a lovely place and meeted...more
I stayed at the Old Cottage on a week that was a mix of typical British weather. The property is right near the beach and town, so on a sunny day when just heading to the beach or going for a walk the location would be great. However on the days its raining and you want to go explore the area, you may find this is a bit of hassle as the nearest on street parking is over 10 mins walk away or you are willing to pay for a car park and move your car during the day (almost every car park is short stay). The property is comfortable enough, on arrival we had a nice hamper and it had all the accesso...more
We stayed at the oyster cottage in Whitstable which was anvery charming house, well decorated and spacious. Loved the local art all around the house and had everything at hand. Personally I didn’t like the beds, one was too hard and the other one had a pit. Otherwise it would have been perfect.
A small cottage - ideal for couples - very close to the beach and we were able to park outside for free which is a bonus in Deal. On the downside - we felt that the absence of an instruction manual in the house and book explaining about local facilities was disappointing. There is also no shower - with the shower attached to the bath either providing hot or cold water not a mix of both. Overall it was good value for money and provided a nice break by the sea.
Nice enough house, v toasty, can walk into town. However we had cesspit works going while we were there that we weren't told about which was inconvenient for parking and smell issues. More importantly for our holiday with young children we booked this place to have a secure garden for kids to play in. However as workmen were in and out all the time sad game was open kids couldn't play safely outside. It should also be noted there is minimal sight of the garden from the house, despite whats implied by the photos so not v kid friendly at all. Cleanliness was also an issue as there was 1 dish ...more
We really enjoyed our trip to Deal and Elizabeth cottage. The location is excellent- so close to beach and the shops and restaurants. We loved the little streets around historic Deal. The cottage was lovely and cool in the hot weather. We found parking in the area easy- free parking in Sandown Rd and along the front past the rowing club and it was easy to pull outside the cottage to quickly unload or park at the end of the road (beach) on the paid parking for loading at the end. Note the two bedrooms are on different floors (different to the listing). The biggest is at the top, then the othe...more
Bell House est une charmante maison située dans un village typique. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour. Problèmes à résoudre: Propreté du placard de la cuisine et de la vaisselle Remédier aux difficultés d'évacuation des salle de bains et toilettes Réparer le four de la cuisine Prendre les poussières dans les plafonds
We arrived with our guide dog puppy, and our delivery van of online shopping to find no message, no keys, no emergency contacts, owners not there to give us keys and explain parking etc as promised and no key press code. Amazingly after several phone calls to Keepers Cottages office we got hold of someone. They had no idea but said they would try to contact the owners. After 15 minutes they called to tell us where to find a key and apologise that the person meeting us had left early. No idea why they didn’t bother to contact us by phone / text / email or leave a note or inform the keepe...more
We liked this old house with its quirky layout and it was handy for all amenities. There was building work going on opposite, which we were pre-warned about. This was a bit disruptive at times, but didn't spoil our stay too much. The house and kitchen was well fitted out generally, but there was a shortage of bedroom storage. There were a few little things that hadn't been fixed eg a broken hook in the main bathroom and missing toothpaste holder, plus the toilet roll holder in the upper bathroom. The living area was comfortable and homely. We also liked the eclectic trappings and pictures sca...more
It’s a nice small cottage, but please mind your hat. It’s walking distance to all nice places within Deal. The courtyard looks nice on the photos, but unfortunately it was not nice sitting there.
We had a cozy stay at Bertie Cottage. Lovely feel with the fireplace too. The cottage was well equipped. Arrival was a bit unclear, it would be helpful to have the name of the cottage on the back gate, as we arrived late afternoon and it was already dark. The pictures sent beforehand of the street were blurry and unclear (in the end a neighbor needed to help us find it and even she found it difficult to define which it was). The floors squeak a lot and you literally can hear the neighbors talk, but that’s the vibe of an old house. I’d probably get a bit more comfier bed that doesn’t make a sou...more
Beautiful holiday let had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Location was wonderful and cottage was spotless as well as very well equipped.
Excellent location and very quirky building however we found it very noisy (creaky) and the strange layout wasn’t ideal for a family. It would benefit from a deep clean. Overall it was ok for the price but we like a bit more luxury when on holiday.
