Five Reasons to Choose Keepers Cottages as Your Holiday Let Agents in Kent

4 March 2026

If you own – or you’re thinking about buying – a holiday property, you can’t be too careful when it comes to choosing a lettings agency to manage it for you. You’ll likely want an independent agency that is small enough to genuinely care about you and your property, yet has the expertise and online presence to compete with the larger industry names. This is something we strive for at Keepers Cottages.

Based at our lovely office in Deal, we operate throughout Kent to showcase the best of the beautiful ‘Garden of England’. From the classic seaside towns of Deal, Kingsdown, and Whitstable, to rolling green countryside and the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, there really is so much to see and do. Each of our properties across the portfolio is handpicked, giving our guests the very best places to stay throughout the county.

About Keepers Cottages

Keepers Cottages is a family-run company with a strong reputation for providing quality self-catering holidays across a wide property portfolio. Since the company was founded by Camilla Shipton in 2013, the team (now helmed by the second generation of Shiptons) has been passionate about maintaining that personal touch. Today, we have a fantastic local team of staff with an in-depth knowledge of the area and of all our holiday cottages. We continue to grow year on year thanks to increasing demand for UK holidays and our very loyal customers.

We also provide a bespoke management service. Each property is carefully handpicked and personally visited to create a brand that guests trust and return to. We go the extra mile to make sure your holiday let investment runs smoothly – you can find out more about this side of things here.

1. More than a decade of experience

Since our inception in 2013, Keepers Cottages has evolved from a small catalogue of holiday lets to a go-to resource of local information. During that time, we’ve got closely acquainted with the ins and outs of the lettings industry, from the legalities of holiday lets to marketing best practice. We’re more than happy to offer practical guidance and can help you navigate any challenges that we may have already overcome.

2. Trusted by owners

We don’t have a ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to our owners and their properties, because we know that every person and their property is unique – that’s part of what we love most! We’ll work with you to understand your needs, accommodate your requests, and ensure that our partnership works for everyone.

3. Loved by guests

Our guests are the reason we are in business, which is exactly why we want to help them have an unforgettable stay. This is why we handpick every single property, and have an exclusive arrangement with each of our owners – we’ve dedicated years to fine-tuning our offering, and we want people to know that a Keepers Cottages holiday means quality.

4. We know Kent inside out

All of the Keepers Cottages team are local, meaning we bring some serious savoir faire to both owner and guest relations. From our little black book of suppliers to unrivalled local insights, we are uniquely positioned to provide the very best service throughout Kent.

5. We can give your property the spotlight it deserves

With over 25,000 email subscribers and social media followers, we can help get your property the attention it deserves. We take great care to ensure high-quality photography and carefully-crafted descriptions across our website, ensuring that all of the big and small things about your property are faithfully captured.
