Cliffeside Cottage

Sleeps 6
3 Bedrooms
1 Bathroom
1 Dog

Cliffeside Cottage is a quintessential seaside bolt hole situated in the picturesque village of Kingsdown. New owners have recently lovingly restored and refurbished the cottage; soft textures, botanical fabrics and coastal furnishings give a luxury and relaxing feel. Cleanse away a day on the beach in the ground floor bathroom before drying off beside the woodburner. This luxury cottage is perfect for romantic weekends or family holidays by the sea. Enjoy the fresh interior and luxe style, and relish knowing little ones are made to feel just as at-home as you are with the selection of toys and games that the owners have left. The pebble beach that stretches to Deal is just yards away down a private road called 'Shrimp Lane' where characterful beach huts lie. Step through the picket gate into a delightful pebble front garden and the quaint porch sets the scene for your beach retreat. This coastal property offers comfortable accommodation spread over three floors. The rooms at the back benefit from fantastic sea views and there is a fun porthole window in the bathroom. Outside, there is a secluded garden with table and chairs just right for lazy breakfasts in the sunshine. After an invigorating coastal walk this bolt hole offers a warm welcome home. If you enjoy reading you are spoilt for choice - borrow a book from the bookcase and curl up on the sofa or flick through a Coast magazine. There is a desk and chair set up at the cottage, which provides an ideal 'working from home' set up.

Reviews

Fabulous location. Stone’s throw from quiet beach. Beautiful (1 hour) walk into Deal. Three pubs on doorstep. Enjoyed a quiz night at one, and lovely lunch on the beach at the Zetland Arms. Cottage spotlessly clean. Exactly what we wanted!

The cottage is very quaint - we enjoyed guessing the possible layout when originally built, as contrasted to the current layout and expansion in the rear (kitchen and bathroom). Access to the ocean is terrific, making it easy to take a morning/evening stroll. The WiFi is strong, so it's easy to check email if necessary. The range of kitchen equipment was very helpful for preparing a few nice dinners to be eaten at the lovely dining room table or snacks to take to the back garden to enjoy at the picnic table. The cottage is a great place to stay!

Stayed over a period of unplanned works at our property. Despite being arranged at very short notice this beautifully appointed cottage was a real haven from the chaos. It was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable and felt much larger on the inside than it looks. The secure garden (for our little cockerpoo) led right to the short path to the beach. We were staying in January in icy temperatures and it was warm and welcoming. With the direct views straight to sea from the rear rooms, it would be an enchanting place to stay at any time of the year. Highly recommend.

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

Gorgeous little cottage in fabulous location. Really enjoyed our stay. Children loved the toy cupboard. Great walks nearby. Thank you!

Our family of 4 + dog had a great stay. Very comfy, clean bedrooms and cosy downstairs areas. We had a sunny weekend but it could also be lovely in winter. Amazing location a moments walk from the beach.

Lovely cottage . Very cosy and well equipped . Could walk out of the garden to the beach with the dog . Great break

Lovely cottage. Very cosy and well equipped. Could walk out of the garden to the beach with the dog. Great break!

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

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

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