Glen Hill, in Walmer, Kent is a grand period family home with views to the rear overlooking one of the Queen Mother's favoured retreats, Walmer Castle and the sea beyond. Sleeping up to 19 people, it offers the perfect holiday house for large groups or a couple of families with very flexible accommodation, plenty of living space and a wonderful large garden with a tennis court.

Glen Hill is traditionally furnished with a spacious regal drawing room with a large open fireplace and floor to ceiling windows and doors which open onto the elegant pavilion conservatory. The dining room has seating for twenty guests while a large kitchen/diner offers less formal dining along with an Aga cooker.

The beach is only a short stroll away and for those feeling particularly energetic there is a tennis court available for guests to use (summer only).

There is also a self contained flat adjacent to the garage with its own parking and entrance.

The place was perfect for a weekend getaway with lots of friends - walking distance to beach, pubs, cafes and shops. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, as well as all the facilities. Hosts were responsive and happy to help with anything. Ideal for hosting a 30th birthday!

We had the most incredible weekend staying here, the photos do not do the house justice with quite how incredible it is!

It really has everything you could need and the team were beyond accommodating with early/late check out and answering any questions.

The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need.

The only feedback we could think of is to have a little more freezer space and to have mini shampoo & conditioner in the bathrooms.

The perfect stay!

We booked this large rambling historic house for a family gathering of 18, including small children, and it was perfect. The house itself is very interesting and characterful with an interesting history. It is well equipped with just about everything you could need - the piano was nice to have, lots of games, books, TV with lots of channels, hi-fi system, smart speakers in many of the rooms. The weather was good so we enjoyed eating outside, and tennis on the tennis court (lots of rackets provided), football goals for kids games, a croquet set. The grounds are picturesque with nice views and well kept by gardeners who appeared one day. Keepers Cottages were very good at making sure everything was going smoothly, and responded quickly to the only problem we had (a leaking sink waste pipe).

The house is amazing, perfect location right next to a castle. The grounds are wonderful. It's the ideal location for a large group. Also kids will love the "Harry Potter" style of the stairs and nooks and crannies in the house.

Points of attention:
- We found a piece of glass on the bedroom floor, reported it to Keepers Cottages. Fortunately, no injuries.
- A plumber came unannounced to the house to fix the downstairs toilet which was not working when we arrived. After he left, it still did not work.
- A gardener also came unannounced to the house at 8am on Friday morning. He told us he's been doing that every week for many years.
- Some of the email communication was frustrating.

Generally though, the above comments are minor compared to the amazing property!

This is an unusual house with many passages, nooks and crannies and a beautiful garden in a wonderful location. There was plenty to do for all of us from 2 years old to 70 … football, tennis, trampolining, croquet and hide and seek. The beach is only a ten minute walk away and there are lots of places a short drive away. We all enjoyed our stay at Glen Hill.

As a large party of four adults and eight teenagers, we found Glen Hill pretty much ideal. The house itself is sprawling and quirky with multiple staircases and even an organ room; the grounds are vast, with tennis court, trampoline, and plenty of places for teens to squirrel themselves away. Accommodation is generous and actually rather better (in terms of usable beds) than the website suggests.
A couple of caveats. First, it’s not the place to go if you want wow interiors: everything is perfectly serviceable and clean, but a little shabby and dated. Second, the number of bathrooms is quite tight for a houseful, and they’re fairly Spartan, especially in terms of water pressure!
This said, it’s a great location for a dog-friendly family break.
