The arrival and parking arrangements were clearly explained and trouble-free. We were warned about the non-functioning dishwasher but I'm sure that's now been fixed. The house is amazing and was perfect for our group (3 couples). Although old and characterful, it has been superbly brought up to modern standards of comfort and convenience (provided you're OK with a four-storey layout and quite narrow and steep stairs). There were several great walks, both into town and along the coast, either from the front door, or with a short drive. There was plenty more to do that we just didn't get ...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.
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
One of the nicest of many homes we have rented short term in Deal. Very stylish and comfortable furnishings and decor. Super clean. Nice central location. Very steep stairs with rope as banisters which was fine for us, but may not be suitable for all.
Absolutely stunning property. Everything you could need and more. So beautiful. So comfortable. Beautiful accessories, lots of thought and love put into property. We even had a pint of milk for a welcome, much needed cuppa at the end of a long journey, plus a bottle of wine which we enjoyed under the stars in the hot tub! The owner kindly gave us permission to have our grandchildren come and visit for takeaway and hot tub. Loved it so much we're planning going back asap!
Such a beautiful holiday house. Very well equipped and comfortable.very spacious and well furnished with lots of toys, puzzles and games.
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.
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
A delightful and restful holiday cottage with spectacular views and extremely welcoming and helpful owners.
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.
Dieses Cottage ist wirklich empfehlenswert! Es ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet - von toller Dekoration bis hin zu duftenden Seifen, sehr gemütlich, hochwertig und eine vollständige Küchenausstattung. Es fehlte wirklich an nichts! Hinzu kam eine äußerst freundliche Vermietung.ein rundum gelungener Urlaub ❤️
Although our stay was short, we were completely satisfied with our cheerful, clean and comfortable apartment. We will certainly book again and have no hesitation in recommending Keepers Cottages.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fig Tree House. Such a lovely quirky property, beautifully styled. It had absolutely everything we needed and more! We'd return in a heart beat! Great location, right next to the beach and walking distance from Deal's lovely high street. We had a very enjoyable family break exploring the local area and enjoying coastal walks. Fig Tree House was the perfect base!
Lovely cottage, 5 minutes from sea and town. Good parking. Everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
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
The Drift in Deal is a gorgeous property. It is beautifully furnished and provided so many lovely touches. I was very impressed with it all. We enjoyed a few days in this property which is centrally located and an easy walk into Deal. I also would praise the staff at Head Office. There was a problem with one of the door keys. This was dealt with very quickly and communication was excellent. Thank you.
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.
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.
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
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 were a family group of three generations celebrating a birthday. Warwick house was perfect for our needs, situated close to the pretty coastal path leading to Deal in one direction and Kingsdown in the other. It is situated on a quiet residential street opposite a large green space. The house itself is elegant with large well proportioned rooms and is tastefully decorated and furnished. There are plenty of parking spaces in the street. We all like walking and we enjoyed visiting nearby Walmer Castle and gardens and of course Deal with its individual shops, bars, restaurants and vibrant Satu...more
I've stayed in many cottages over the years and Fishermans Cottage in Deal is probably the best! The owners haven't missed a single thing. Everything from the decor to the kitchen utensils and the cleanliness and comfort has been met and surpassed. I will be staying again. Thank you.
Excellent stay with first class service from the team at Keepers Cottages thank you for all your professionalism
Saltwater Cottage is situated in the very atmospheric and historical streets of Deal. A hop and a skip from the High Street, with gorgeous indie shops and a thriving Saturday market, we fell in love with the town and this wonderful, stylish, and immaculate cottage. On 3 levels, the stairs are steep but the character is all there with the beautiful furnishings and artworks. The bedrooms are super comfortable, the bathroom is huge with a gorgeous freestanding bath and lush toiletries for guests to use, and the kitchen diner downstairs is a great place to hang out. The quality of everything was a...more
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
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 stayed with our grown daughters and their partners, booked the sunshine too. Gardens front and back to catch the sun or sea breeze or shelter as you wished. Every bedroom is large and comfortable. Big kitchen and we cooked a lot. Coffee machine was popular. TV struggled with all the family on WiFi. Great spot for walking over the cliffs with chalk meadows full of late summer wild flowers to St Margaret’s bay; lunched at The Coast Guard and the Pines. Walked to Walmer Castle via coast path and into Deal, evening drinks at Zetland Arms watching the sun go down. Beach is stony bring shoes to...more
Great location for exploring Sandwich. Well equipped kitchen and cottage very cosy especially with the lovely fire when it got chilly
We really enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable 3rd floor apartment close to the railway station and a few minutes walk from the pier. The kitchen was extremely well fitted and bathroom modern and clean. Spacious and airy open plan living area. New furniture and carpets/flooring. Views over the rooftops of Deal towards Walmer and beyond. There is no lift but we managed the stairs. It was great to have a parking space. The heating boiler buzzed and vibrated a bit against the bedroom wall but this could be fixed with better insulation.
An exceptional find. The garden was something out of a film… The secret garden! Lots of different places to sit and a nice touch the sauna and hot tub, plus always somewhere different to sit out admiring the views and just chilling. I always take certain kitchen and bathroom ‘stuff’ but didn’t need to as everything there and some. Very slight criticism would like black out blinds to the roof light windows and the last bit of the drive on uneven road was a bit of a pain (which appreciate nothing can be done about that) BUT that will definitely not stop us coming back again. Had a brief chat wit...more
I cannot thank the staff enough for their support and attention for our recent weekend break. Nothing was too much trouble and the care offered to myself and my party when one of our party was taken down unwell was exceptional. This was the second time we have stayed at Cherry Barn and I will most definitely be booking for another return visit. The weekend was the perfect R&R that we all needed.
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.
We had a great short stay at Farrier Beach Cottage over the Bank Holiday. The house is minutes from a quiet beach, and the Saturday market and high street are just at the other end of the road. The house was well equiped and comforable.
We very much enjoyed our three night stay at The Pink House and thought the house was lovely and nicely decorated. There were a couple of minor issues and we were disappointed the cleaners had not emptied the bins on our arrival but overall a great stay.
A great place to stay with family and friends. Fantastic garden, and lots of space for the kids and grown-ups to hangout. With nearby farm shops and a lovely old pub with great food in walking distance.
We enjoyed a lovely few days here over Christmas as it’s the ideal location for us to be near family who live nearby. St Mary’s is in a peaceful village with the benefit of a beautiful and large garden for our dogs. The house is spacious with an extremely well stocked kitchen and lots of storage space in all the bedrooms. Everything was immaculately clean and well looked after. The TV is on the small side so bear this in mind if you’re big telly watchers. We had delicious meals at both village pubs, which are an easy walk away. Would highly recommend and hope to stay here again next time we’re...more
I've stayed in several Deal cottages but Tell-Tale is easily my favourite. Great location and old-world charm coupled with practicalities that make all the difference. Comfy bed, level floor downstairs, very accessible stairs, upstairs bathroom – these details are so important if, like me, you are elderly. Would definitely come again.
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.
Beautiful view. Great location. Very nice apartment. I had a great stay. Would come back and recommend !
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.
The Stable has been converted into a lovely place to stay. Everything has been done to a very high standard and there is attention to detail throughout. The welcome pack containing local produce, including homemade bread and honey was no exception. Lisa and George were welcoming and informative.
Beautiful apartment, very well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely theme of books/printing and stylishly designed.
Incredible place to stay. So well equipped, immaculate and thoughtful, lovely welcoming touches. The location directly on the beach is beyond compare and the history of the houses and its location add so much to the charm. Thank you
Perfect well equipped cottage for four people and a dog ....spacious living area, ligh, clean and airy and a tranquil garden, a stones throw from the beach and all local facilities, added bonus of exclusive use of beach hut and kayak - we loved our stay!
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 location in the narrow streets of Deal is very charming and despite the narrow streets, access by car to load/unload was never difficult and free parking was really not far away (on the seafront). The property was well-maintained and the furnishings comfortable. Happy to recommend!
A lovely house in a great location. Close to Old Town, New Town, Railway station and shops. Lots of restaurants nearby too.
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.
This house has everything you could want during your stay! It’s comfy spacious and the location is perfect!
Villa Vita is a great house, spacious, comfortable, warm and welcoming. The location is super, a few steps to the independent shops and cafes at the north end of the high street and just 3 minutes to the beach. All the major shops within 5 minutes walk. We look forward to a return visit.
Beautiful and cosy cottage, lovely decor, very warm and welcoming. The owner was extremely pleasant and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property
A lovely property which worked really well for our mixed group of three generations of our family plus a very small dog. All prior requests were met and available on arrival eg travel cot and high chair and we were pleasantly surprised at how spacious the property was. The location is excellent as the house is very close to Deal High Street and all its amenities. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Deal.
We had a wonderful stay at Ravenscourt. The house is beautifully decorated and very spacious (we were 8 adults and a baby). The location is great - just a few minutes stroll from the beach and the Old Neptune pub. And we very much appreciated how family friendly it was - with a high chair, cot, games etc. If we could change anything, it would be a few more pots and pans in the kitchen to make self catering a bit easier! We would love to come back sometime - this place will be our first choice whenever we are in Whitstable.
Location Fantastic!!. Very comfortable stay , warm and many facilities . Lots of home touches.We have a dog, the walks were enjoyable She was made very welcome in all shops and eating places. Had Christmas Lunch at the Pearson Arms which we would highly recommend . Parking, you cannot park outside for more than an hour ( if you can find a space) however you park for free within a five-ten minute walk.Nelson Rd , Marsh Wall Lane are nearest. Be aware no microwave?, and hanging space in some bedrooms limited. In summary very memorable stay, and hopefully will visit Whitstable soon
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.
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 enjoyed staying at Riley Cottage . Great location in the conservation area, peaceful and convenient for the beach. There is pub opposite, but don't be put off, it did not create any noise at all. We choose this cottage as it was dog friendly with a courtyard garden , and had easily accessible stairs . The cottage is stylish and thoughtfully curated, lovely fresh white bed linen and towels etc- everything guests should require, the kitchen was well equipped. The welcome pack of local produce was a very nice extra . Thank you . My only ask, in an otherwise perfect cottage would be ...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.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in star cottage which was beautifully presented. A high standard of bedding and towels provided. Extremely comfortable beds. Dog walking was very convenient at Duncan Downs just a 10 minute walk from the cottage. Overall we had a great week with just some minor issues: We felt the kitchen could have been better equipped ie. A small sharp knife, vegetable peeler, foil, oven gloves( a single glove isn’t everyone’s preference) we’re lacking On occasions it was very difficult to park, access to the small residents car park would be a great advantage.( particula...more
This was the second time our team of 10 stayed in the delightful Stone Hall Farmhouse. Everything about the booking, the property, the garden and its facilities were just spot on. Thank you team at Keepers Cottages for looking after us so well yet again.
Good location. (+Great coffee shop almost next door). Excellent property (apart from a couple of loose door handles). Lovely clean house.
Comfortable holiday home with everything we needed. Great views across the green to the sea. We watched the lifeboat crew go out on a practice. Lots to do in the area. A very relaxing few days.
Ideal location, short walk to the sea front or the High Street. Really nicely town house. Has a home from home feel about. Credit to the owners. Would be happy recommending it to my friends and family.
The third year we've stayed here, a beautiful, comfortable apartment overlooking the sea. Hope we can book there again next year!
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.
Bowden Lodge was the perfect property for our family get together of four generations. Having a downstairs bedroom with en suite and easy access to the living room and games room which in turn had easy access to the wonderful garden was ideal for our 96 year old great Nan The enormous garden was enjoyed by everyone for ball games, sitting and chatting and barbecuing in the evening. We had fantastic weather which was a bonus. Short walk to the beach and local pubs meant driving could be kept to a minimum. Highly recommend and would love to return when the pool is in use.
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!
Peacock & Pebble cottage was ideally situated and just a short walk away from all the shops and amenities. Very clean and comfortable. The only issue was no hairdryer, however I managed and embraced my curls. We would be more than happy to stay again.
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
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.
The property was totally satisfactory. We had a few issues with operating the heating system when we arrived in winter and it took a few days to get help with regulating it, but after that, system worked well. The location is great for pedestrians, close to the beach and also to shops. Nicely decorated cottage, and stairs are good. The TV was not a smart TV as far as we knew, so we had limited streaming. Kitchen well equipped and a larger fry pan was provided when we asked for one. A new hose also provided but we never figured out how to attach and use it.
The George is ideally located for our needs during our stay in Deal each Spring. Ample parking provision for several vehicles in secure surrounds. The only issue with the key fobs to access the gates and the house is there aren't enough of them. An additional set or two would be helpful. On saying this, this is our only gripe. The house is always presented well, it's clean, tidy and welcoming with a basket of goodies and other provisions laid out on arrival. The rooms are spacious and comfortable throughout and the garden areas are great for entertaining on a nice warm evening. A place well wo...more
A superb property located in the heart of Deal a d yet very, very quiet. Ideal for my working trip bit will definitely return here for a break so e time soon. Keepers team also resolved my minor question in no time at all. All in all, an exemplorary place to stay and service from the Keepers management team Thank you and see you soon!!
This property was rented for a long weekend for our young family with a couple of small children. staying for a family celebration. They had a wonderful stay and they loved this property location and how well maintained and bright the rooms are. No issues getting in a little earlier definitely had a wow factor. Thanks
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.
Glen House is a great place to stay. It is full of character with large spacious rooms and there was room for all of us, 10adults, 6 children and 2 babies. The main house is grand and both the Annexe and flat are very comfortable. The gardens are a delight, the children absolutely loved the large lawn and the gravel pathways at the bottom. A place to return to as we had only a brief weekend. Thank you Keepers Cottage for your efficiency, from booking to our stay was seamless and everyone so pleasant.
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!
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 wonderful stay at Rogue Cottage, the location of the cottage is amazing - 30 seconds to the beach and to the town! It was great that there was a baby cot, high chair and huge bucket of children’s toys provide for our little one but I do think there should be the option for stair gates. It is two very steep stair cases which made it pretty dangerous for our toddler. There was also a smell of damp, we think there may be some water leaking when the shower is running. It was a lovely touch that there was chocolates provided and a bottle of French brandy but no milk and no logs...more
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.
Some minor improvements/ additions would elevate the property to the next level. Eg scissors & microwave in kitchen Mirror in bedroom
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!
The cottage was excellent, offering all that we needed.* Central location *Easy access *Very comfortable *Excellent decor *All fixtures and fittings of a quality standard. *Very comfortable bed . (Only thing we missed were some smaller coffee cups and a scoop for measuring coffee for the cafetaire) We would certainly stay here again should we be in Deal.
Growing up in Walmer, we had often seen this house and its neighbour, and now we had the chance to actually live here for a few days. From the front it doesn't look that big, but it is deciptively large. When not visiting our favourite places in East Kent, we spent most of the time in the huge kitchen-dining room at the back of the house. The location on Wellington Parade is perfect for walks to the Zetland Arms or to Walmer Castle. Sadly, there was a death in the family while we were staying at Downsview, so it meant a lot to us that so many family members were in one place. We would definit...more
Lovely cottage, quiet and convenient for the beach, bright and warm and everything we needed, parking excellent, couldnt have asked for more.
The Corner House. Tranquil. Comfortable. Stylish and well equipped. Excellent beds, and bathroom. Heating and water easy to operate and beautifully hot. A great place to stay.
This is a fantastic location if you want a peaceful holiday. It’s very dog friendly and there are plenty of places to walk your dog. The staff are very friendly. There are only a few properties to stay at so it’s very quiet and peaceful. We had a great time and the dogs did too
We had a very comfortable stay at Potters cottage. The property is superbly furnished and equipped with everything visitors would need for their stay. The property is a few minutes from the beach, railway and shops and the area is beautiful. I would rebook without hesitation.
The Writer´s Cottage was perfect! Good walking distance to every of our favoured destinations (the ocean, station, parking, Pepper´s organic shop, cafe´s & delis at the high street, supermarket...), the kitchen is very well equipped, in general the cosy house is beautifully decorated. We had a lovely time - could not have been better. The Keepers Team is outstanding: Helpful and kind and curates the best properties to stay in at the Kentish Coast.
A lovely property in a great Deal location. There is plenty of space having two sitting rooms and a large kitchen diner which gives flexibility for everyone. The property was nice and warm (which in our experience is not always a given for a January break) and I would recommend Ivy House as a good all year round choice for a holiday in Deal.
Had a lovely stay at The Barn. Good location for visiting the area. We had two dogs with us and the shared garden worked well, but potentially would have been a problem if another dog had been sharing it that didn’t get on well with ours. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and sofa. Would recommend if visiting Kent
i came for a long weekend with my two daughters my grandson and 2 dogs so as you can imagine…busy the house was exactly as the photos and very spacious the beds were very comfortable and room enough for your clothes literally minutes from the beech i would definitely recommend this cottage and hopefully we will be back
We stayed here with our daughter, her husband and two grandchildren. We had a wonderful time. The spacious house is very well equiped and thought out, the toys and books were a hit with the grandchildren and made life easier. The house is very well located, near to shops, eateries and the beach. We were sad to leave this beautiful house and all hope to return.
We have nothing but good to say about this place - it was even beter than expected, rooms were spacious, bathrooms really comfy, and the kitchen was inviting and had us enjoy preparing food and eat there as well. Small niggles were the loose drawer with the trash bin. We do highly recommend this place!
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.
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.
Very stylish accommodation. Would love to know where they get their light fittings from. Nice comfortable stay in ideal location.
Gorgeous house, great location, fab hosts. We will be back! Loved it! From 2 very fulfilled families of 4 x
Really Interesting place. Stylish, high end furnishings and comfortable. Couple of things would make it more welcoming. Lot of dust on lampshades and behind TV. I notice cos allergic. Little things like a bit of tin foil, kitchen paper, couple of herbs and bit of oil would be nice. Washing machine provided but no tablets or clothes horse. Not too much to ask really. Outside space really needs cleaning especially as looking at broken windows of another property. Appreciate, not a lot you can do about that but at least it's quiet apart from kitchen extractor. Bins do Not a great introducti...more
Schönes Haus mit Charme. Sehr gut ausgestattete Küche. High Street und Pubs fußläufig erreichbar. Schöner Spaziergang vom Haus aus möglich. Parken problemlos. Eine überdachte Sitzgelegenheit im Garten wäre schön.
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.
Great place to stay for either a family/families or group heading to Kent Golf Coast. Highly recommend.
Excellent location. Good facilities. Parking space a bonus. We are regular visitors and shall return next year. A visit to Zetland Arms is a must
This is a lovely property, about a 15 minute walk from the centre of Sandwich. It’s fairly quiet despite being on a local main road and reasonably private although very close to the farmhouse next door which is also a holiday rental. There’s plenty of off-road parking right outside the door. The house is well presented and well equipped. There are good towels and hot water. There is a step down into the bathroom which you need to try and remember, especially in the middle of the night, as well as keeping the sloping ceiling in mind so as not to hit your head when using the upstairs bathroom si...more
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.
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.
We had a wonderful three-week stay at Captain's Cottage. The location is perfect - especially for young families or older visitors - with the beach, the castle, the playground, the amenities at Roman Landings and the large supermarkets all on the doorstep. The bedrooms are all generously sized and with two bathrooms and two WCs, it's easy to have some privacy. The property itself is in need of some TLC, but with young children, friends and family all visiting us, it suited us that way. The team at Keeper's Cottages were quick to respond to issues and were always helpful and polite. Thank you f...more
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.
The apartment is light, well eqipped and quiet. It is in an excellent location, close to the sea front and shops/cafes and about 10 minutes walk to train station. The only slight negative, the bedroom and hallway windows look out onto the bins from the flats - probably not a real issue for most though.
We had a nice 6 days with just a short walk to the harbour and town but parking is difficult so didn’t move our cars at all. Went by bus into Canterbury. Cottage was clean and beds very comfortable and a good bathroom with large walk-in shower. However a few problems arose. Clock needed a battery, no microwave which is vital when on holiday. Kitchen tap completely loose so difficult to use so a plumber needs to be called. No towel in the kitchen or toilet brush in the bathroom. These things were sorted the next day after contacting the company so that was good service. The biggest pro...more
Amazing view over open farm land with the sea in the distance Friendly and helpful owners who were on hand if needed Very clean comfortable accommodation Would stay again if visiting the area
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.
This is a lovely, well equipped spacious apartment. The location is very good but a little let down by the view of some of the surrounding buildings. Our stay was enjoyable apart from the incredibly uncomfortable sofas in the lounge area. This meant that we mainly sat at the dining table, which is not ideal for relaxing! Suggest the owners invest in some new seat cushions as they are clearly beyond their best. Would be happy to return if this was resolved.
We enjoyed our stay at Little Chart. The cottage is warm and comfortable. It feels like home as it is full of books and art, and the kitchen is well equipped, with dishwasher, microwave and airfryer, as well as range cooker. The courtyard is spacious and a nice place to sit if the sun is out. It is only a few yards go the beach promenade and a flat walk to the pier and restaurants. We visited Walmer castle and St Margarets Bay and enjoyed both. When the kettle broke the team immediately replaced it. Very quick to respond. There is low cold water pressure upstairs, but not a major problem....more
A beautiful property that was elegantly furnished yet very comfortable. The property supplied everything that you would need. The location was fantastic in the center of deal yet situated in a quiet road very close to the beach. We definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
we had a great stay here over easter weekend! the house is so cosy and homely. the new green sofas really make such a difference - my family has been renting this cottage for many years in the summer and we love it. the garden so great. loved my daily cold swims, amazing dinner at updown, deal market etc. highly recommend and great communication by keepers cottages. cant wait to come back
We had a wonderful time at Oldestairs. The house is beautiful and full of character and Keepers Cottages made everything extremely easy for us. The beds are really comfy and while it’s an old house everything works well. The location is fantastic, moments from the beach and there is masses to do in the surrounding area.
Cottage is ideally located. It has a lot of character but more shabby vs chic. Service also very responsive but only during working hours even if there is no hot water
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
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!
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.
At the end of October 2025 spent a lovely 5 day family get together at Blue Skies. We received a warm welcome from the owner and housekeeper who thoughtfully provided us with fresh milk. It was very welcome after a long drive. This characterful house was clean, comfortable, very well equipped and a great selection of books. Situated in a superb location close to the beach and all local amenities. The only criticism would be the bathrooms and toilet need updating.
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.
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.
We had a lovely weekend in Undercliffe with kids and grandparents. The garden and beach were perfect for the kids to play and the house was well equipped and comfortable. The team were quick to rectify an issue we had with a lack of cleaning cloths and dropped some round promptly. Thanks!
My family and I , had a wonderful week staying at Seas the day. The house was wonderful and I would highly recommend.
Fantastisch chalet. Nice view. Very clean. Thank you for the cookies en the warm welcome. The only thing that needs update is the curtains. We will book this chalet again when we want to visit England.
Poppy cottage is pretty, clean, well equipped and very comfy for 2 adults, but 4 adults would be difficult as there is only seating for 2 in the lounge (but plenty of room for 4 adults elsewhere). Good and well equipped kitchen. Not good if you have mobility issues as narrow stairs to get to the property and the main bed is placed directly on the floor so very low and difficult to get in and out of. It’s on a narrow road so parking immediately near the cottage for loading and unloading is tricky too, but we did always find a space within a few minutes walk. Very peaceful, a short walk to t...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.
The location couldn’t have been better right on the beach and next to a fantastic pub but the property lacked in areas. The garden was very tired and covered in weeds. Not a particularly pleasant area to sit out in. Several of the decking boards felt like you could put your foot through them. There was a tap but no outside shower or hose to wash the dogs after being in the sea. Inside was lovely but no standing showers. We had to sit in the free standing bath and use hand held shower to wash or have baths and with two big teenage boys this wasn’t ideal. Would be easy to just put an attachme...more
We had a great stay at a Stone’s Throw and were able to park up right outside the front door which was a bonus as we didn’t need the car at all until the journey home. We enjoyed long walks along the coastline in both directions and exploring the little independent shops in Deal. The castles are all well worth visiting and there are lots of cafes and eateries to enjoy. A Stone’s Throw provided all the facilities and comforts we needed for a very enjoyable stay.
We had a lovely stay at The Stable. It was warm and clean and had everything we needed all on one level. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach and you can get a drink or have something to eat at the golf club.
Could not fault it. Nice alleyway to the town centre, parking nearby. Good Italian erstaurant just round the corner
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 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
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 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
Great location but this place is tiny. Set up for a family of four (4 beds) but there isn't even enough room for 4 people to sit around a table for breakfast. And the kitchen area is also tiny and quite impractical. Probs work well for a couple, but we struggled as a family of four (and we are all pretty small!) for four days.
Excellent location and v good experience with Keepers Cottages. Property disappointing. Living room tired and chatter less. Kitchen poorly equipped, and owners clutter in cupboards. Bedrooms were charming, but beds creaked. Bathroom adequate. Annoying clicking constantly in central heating system.
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.
