Reviews
Kingsdown
Kingsdown is a charming pebble bay sandwiched between St Margaret's Cliff and Walmer and Deal. Rumbosun cottage is superbly located with little but wild flowers and beach huts between the picket fence and the seafront. There are two local pubs, The Zetland Arms and The Rising Sun, both offer a superb selection of ales, wines and good pub food.
The award-winning high street of Deal is just a short drive away and a real highlight, offering a vibrant mix of independent boutiques, antiques shops, artisan bakeries and well-stocked delis. Seafront pubs and seafood restaurants provide relaxed dining throughout the day, while cosy cafés and wine bars are tucked into the streets behind the promenade. Deal Pier remains a focal point for classic seaside views, and nearby Deal Castle and Walmer Castle reflect the town’s rich naval and maritime history.
For days further afield, coastal walking and cycling routes lead north towards Sandwich Bay, offering wide skies and open sea views.
Deal railway station provides direct services to London, making Rumbosun an excellent base for short breaks or longer stays enjoying the charm, coastline and character of Kingsdown.
