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.
What a lovely place to stay. The house is well laid out, beautifully styled and very comfortable. The garden behind the house was so nice to be in for evening meals and there is a little table in the front garden to catch the sun for a first cup of tea in the morning. The owners are very generous in sharing their beautiful items, furniture, and grocery basics with guests. I felt very welcome and immediately at home. My family and I would love to return.
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
A clean comfortable cottage in a central location, close to the beach and town centre. Newly refurbished so makes it extra pleasant to stay in. Keepers Cottages were very easy to book with.
We absolutely loved our stay in Ramsgate! The house has been beautifully renovated, with gorgeous décor and a really cosy, welcoming atmosphere. You can tell a lot of care and attention has gone into every detail. The location is great too — shops are close by and the beautiful beaches are within easy reach. It was the perfect base for our stay and we felt at home straight away. We would happily come back and definitely recommend it!
Such a beautiful holiday house. Very well equipped and comfortable.very spacious and well furnished with lots of toys, puzzles and games.
A delightful and restful holiday cottage with spectacular views and extremely welcoming and helpful owners.
Lovely cottage, 5 minutes from sea and town. Good parking. Everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
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.
Very stylish and comfortable house in a great location between old town and the beach. Lots of great restaurants in walking distance. Would definitely recommend.
Fig Tree House is extremely nice. You can walk from the station, you can walk to the beach, to the pier, to the High Street. it is very well furnished and equipped. I like the sense of peace ,fresh air and privacy provided by the outside area.
We are a group of seven old friends who spend a weekend away together twice a year. Whitecliff was perfect for this year's autumn break - quirky, spacious, well equipped, comfortable. We enjoyed chilling of an evening in front of the open fire in the blue sitting room which was all the more welcome as Storms Austen and Boelo hit the UK that weekend. Our host, Angela, could not have been more helpful or communicative before and throughout our stay. We had two dogs with us and Angela provided lots of info for doggy guests plus towels/rugs for them - most useful given the rain. Shame the s...more
Arriving at this lovely, interesting property was a joy - the cottage was superbly presented, with welcoming lights; the welcome gifts were exceptional; it was warm, cosy and very comfortable. Beautifully and imaginatively furnished to a high standard. The outside space was much better, and more spacious, than we had anticipated, and being fully enclosed was a great bonus for our peace of mind, as our Golden just wanted to be outside all the time! If anything, the photos don’t do the property justice. A really lovely cottage, and a good first experience with Keepers Cottages.
Our stay at The Admiral Penn was amazing. The place was spotless. The bedrooms and bathrooms spacious and very comfortable.The cinema room and lounge were spacious and allowed groups to use as they wanted. The kitchen had the most implements you could want. So close to the beach and cafes and restaurants of Deal.Sally the housekeeper was helpful and responded well to messages.
We had a lovely stay, peaceful and comfortable hosts Diane and Ian helpful and friendly.Adorable dogs
Wisteria Cottage is a wonderful place to stay in Deal. A five minute stroll from the High Street where there are lovely artisan shops and restaurants, but in a quiet area that was very peaceful. The cottage has been finished very well with a beautiful decor. It was spotlessly clean and we were very very happy. I would recommend it and would definitely stay here again. It has a lovely big kitchen that’s well equipped and a nice back yard area to sit and have a coffee, in the morning, or a glass of wine in the evening. We could not fault it this property. Parking was not an issue. Deal is a grea...more
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Strand Apartment. Clean, comfortable and spacious with everything required for a short or longer break. Very convenient location on the pedestrianised High Street - no traffic noise! Payable parking available close by. Lots of places for food and drink, also 2 supermarkets. Plenty to enjoy! I will return.
Beautiful spacious house close to the beach and seafront. Lots.of lovely delis and cafes nearby too
We booked the accommodation for the mens england sea angling team as we where fishing the home nations tournament in Kent The house was perfect in every way great space for everyone to prepare for the tournament Comfy beds, fantastic kitchen and dining areas and outside space The team loved it and we won gold
Lovely cottage and good location about 20 minutes walk from Sandwich town. Coop nearby and a lot of pubs. Highly recommend The Bell Hotel and The Crispin Inn. Not as many shops in the town. . Ramsgate, Dover, Broadstairs close for day trips. House well equipped and very clean. The stairs in the house are quite steep and parking is a problem.
Very clean and comfortable. Good location for local town. Nice to have essentials provided. Only downside was the bath was too deep and couldn’t use it as would have been difficult to get out.
Excellent stay with first class service from the team at Keepers Cottages thank you for all your professionalism
The two of us had a week in Deal and this property was excellent. Everything was in a good state of presentation and repair The off-street parking was great even out of season. We drive a Skoda Karoq and that just... JUST ..... fitted - so bear that in mind if you have a large estate or family car as I doubt you'll get that in and you will have to use street parking The house is just a short walk from everywhere in the town. If you're there over a weekend GO to the Saturday market EARLY and get some cinnamon buns from one of the stalls - you'll find it [because of the amazing smells]... ...more
We had a lovely week at Valentine’s, very well equipped and comfortable. Such a central location, no need for a car. Great shops and food takeaways in walking distance .
We loved the house in Deal. Beautifully decorated. Felt like we were in someone’s home . Lots of lovely details . Charming courtyard with lots of pots and still in flower. There are lots of stairs which we found ok but may be a little much for some. It’s right in the centre so everything in walking distance.
The Granary is wonderfully decorated, and Zareen and David made us feel very welcome! The location is also splendid, so we certainly hope to return some day!
Cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished. Very well equipped bar lack of microwave! Positioned centrally close to shops, coffee bars and pier. Very comfy beds in peaceful setting made for a great sleep. Only downside is lack of immediate parking so arriving at peak time made finding resident spaces tricky. We nailed that in the end!
Lovely property in a great location in old town Sandwich. Ideal for exploring the wider area. Property was clean and well presented and Sandwich provided nice restaurants and shops.
The house offers plenty of space, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and everything you could wish for. It’s in a great location and offers views of the most spectacular sunsets. We’d love to come back.
This is such a special house and a privilege to stay in a much loved family home. The interior design is gorgeous. The location is incredible and great to swim every day and hitch the ladder down to the shingle. Every day I said ‘wow’ as the view of the sea and sky from the huge windows is breathtaking. Peaceful location, beautiful sunrises. 2 min walk to the Coastguard pub, Deal pier kitchen for brunch, great walks in the area. THANKYOU !
This property was an absolute gem to find! We were a party of six adults, a five-month-old baby, and two dogs, and it was perfect for all of us. The service from Keepers Cottages was excellent throughout, keeping us well informed and promptly answering any questions we had. The property itself was fantastic — beautifully clean, exceptionally well equipped, and full of thoughtful extras that made our stay even more special. This has genuinely been one of the best properties I have ever stayed in, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-maintained and w...more
We stayed in a warm October. Heronden Cottage is surrounded by countryside within a quiet location with plenty of walking opportunities. The accommodation stands within generous front and back gardens and is not overlooked. The large kitchen area with island leads into the dining space. The cosy lounge with superb bookcase is suitable all year round. The large modern shower is plentiful as is the roll top bath. The handily situated cottage allowed us to visit Walmer, Deal, Canterbury, Sandwich and Broadstairs within our short stay. The owner was kind enough to check on us during our stay.
Hi we’ve had a lovely stay with the family, house well equipped kitchen well equipped but house lacking chill out room, lounge not large enough for amount of people staying to chill in the evening and no outside furniture to sit outside which was a shame as weather was lovely
Location of the Printers Place in Deal was "ideal" close to all amenities. The apartment was warm and cosy, very well equipped with everything we needed plus more. Beds were so comfortable also. Keepers Cottages team were so very friendly and helpful and very quick to respond to my communications, Thank you Elma
Pip's Lookout is the place where I had a unique experience. It is the place with the most beautiful sunset and the most spectacular sunrise. I experienced the feeling of being at home and I was happy to be part of the story of the place. I would have loved to meet Pip and I am grateful to have met his daughter, whom I want to thank for her elegance, delicacy and emotion. For me it was the most interesting reality of a dream.
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.
Wonderful property and location, would highly recommend. Wonderful property and location, would highly recommend.Wonderful property and location, would highly recommend.
An absolute gem of a property. Cool and contemporary and yet really comfortable. If you like a Scandi style and a architect designed holiday home, then you won't find better!
Cliffeside Cottage is a beautifully presented and well equipped place to stay. This was our second summer stay in Kingsdown and we loved the sea views and easy access to the beach from the cottage. Everything was spotlessly clean and well thought out to make our stay easy and relaxing. The owners have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making the cottage a wonderful and welcoming place to stay. Kingsdown is a lovely place and we made the most of sunny coastal walks to St Margaret's Bay and Deal. There are lots of great food options and plenty of things to do for families with youn...more
We had a wonderful stay at Carmel Cottage. Attention to detail was evident and the decor was understated & styled beautifully. Location was great, short walk to the pub & bay. I would recommend and love to return.
We rented the Pink house for my parents 60 year wedding anniversary and it was absolutely fantastic! The house was spotlessly clean and we loved our stay! Great location, seconds from the beach and the high street! Right in the beautiful conservation area of Deal old town!
What a lovely cottage. Everything you could have wanted a nice little garden for the dog to roam nice and secluded, and what a bonus only a two minute walk to the beach with our own Beach Hut. what a treat. So lovely sitting there looking over the channel we had blue skies and calm seas. A lovely level walk along the coast path to Walmer and then to Deal, which were both worth a visit. A lovely walk the other way over the cliffs towards Dover. St Margarets Bay was lovely. Three pubs in the village, the Zetland Arms was a bit different with seating virtually on the Beach The Risin...more
We have rented a property through Keepers Cottage before, but this one really stood out for us. The house was really super clean, always a pleasant start to your holiday. Villa Vita is comfortably furnished, and thanks to the conservatory and garden, you have just that little bit of extra space to relax. The house is located a very short walk from the center and the sea. In addition, there are 2 supermarkets a short distance away, and right outside the door is a small park where you can stroll through. Furthermore, parking was absolutely no problem, something that is always a plus...more
Very enjoyable stay at Christmas House. Clean, comfortable and interesting property. Just beware if the stairs if you are a little unsure like me. Overall though we had a lovely, peaceful stay in this well positioned well equipped house.
This is our second stay at Dexter’s House and the property continues to provide wonderful accommodation in the historic part of Deal. The ambiance of the property is super and its location in Middle Street is very convenient for seafront walks, local shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking is readily available without charge a short walk along the seafront . The cottage is thoughtfully decorated with a nautical theme and is very well equipped. The owners clearly take great pride in the property and its furnishings give a very homely feel. We will look forward to returning again.
Had a wonderful week in this fantastic flat with sea view and cosy window seat Very comfortable bed and all you could possibly need for a restful stay … pubs and shops very close so no need to stray to far .. although there is plenty to explore with bus and train services close ., can recommend !
The staff at Keepers Cottages were efficient and friendly and would highly recommend them. We are already looking forward to trying out more properties with this company. We had a really relaxing break at Rosewood Cottage, which was in a great location to explore both Walmer and Deal by foot.
A lovely house in a great location. Close to Old Town, New Town, Railway station and shops. Lots of restaurants nearby too.
We found the setting and sea view very pleasant. The apartment was clean, comfortable and cosy and just the right size for two people. Great for walks into Deal, and for exploring nearby.
Homely accommodation , welcoming and with provision for every need. Excellent location , minutes from the beach , the town and a variety of bars and restaurants.
This was our first time at this apartment and we were very pleased with it. Situated in an ideal spot for exploring Deal itself and all the other places on that coast. Just a few minutes walk to the shops and beach. The apartment had everything you need only downside was the kitchen tap which was very loose and made it awkward to use sometimes. Would definitely recommend this apartment also nice to have a parking space.
What a wonderful property. Lovely and warm feeling and beautifully furnished. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Old Cherry Barn had everything we needed for our stay. We ate in every night and using their kitchen was a joy. We sat and watched tv and played games around the table before retiring to very comfortable beds. Showers were lovely and the bath is huge and a great place for stress relief. We went out every day, Faversham was such a lovely place to explore and went to visit Knole House, Hever Castle and Whitstable. Our first visit to Kent and it was a great experience
The house is in a perfect location, with views of the sea while having many restaurants, pubs etc on the doorstep. It is very stylish and well furnished. The bedrooms in particular are large and comfortable with window seats. The terrace and outside areas are very pleasant with views to the sea. In common with other reviews, the addition of a microwave in the kitchen would be very useful. We tried to use the parking place but found it was blocked by other cars. We parked at the Esplanade instead which is free parking and a pleasant walk from the house along the seafront. We would love to s...more
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sea Breeze. The property was clean, modern and comfortable with the added benefit of being in an ideal location. Shops, cafes and pubs were within easy reach, whilst the sea front and town centre were not too far away. For those wishing to venture further afield, there were bus stops nearby and the railway station was within a ten to fifteen minutes walk. The house was well equipped, although ideally we would have liked the washing machine in the utilty room to have been accompanied by a tumble dryer. We also struggled a little with the operation of the TV...more
We really enjoyed our stay at Elodie cottage. The house was well equipped and well located, and we liked the little extra touches such as the record player and the artwork in the house. All in all a lovely stay for 6 adults
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.
Really lovely quirky place. The bathroom was a bit small,but we managed. Heating,lights and telly were all great. We had a good time .
A delightful little house which was beautifully and very tastefully decorated and presented. Clearly the owners have invested a great deal of love and care into the property and we felt at home straight away. The beds were very comfortable and the stylish bathroom had an excellent shower and a lovely bath. We had a special stay celebrating our 70th birthdays! . We could not see that there was a carbon monoxide monitor. . A handle to hold in the shower would have been helpful.
Enjoyed the cosiness of this lovely little cottage. It welcomed us home evertime we returned to it. Very well equipped even down to hot water bottles if needed..We intend to return. If there is a down side it would be it does still have old fashioned storage heating, which is adequate but has to be set for the next day heat requirements in advance. The cottage could benefit with upgrading this form of heating. Hence score 4 for comfort
We had a lovely stay at St Mary’s House for my 30th birthday. It was torrential rain the whole weekend the house was the perfect place to take refuge!
I have mixed ratings for Portobello Cottage. The online description, cleanliness, and communication with host would be 4-5 stars. However, this property just didn't work for our family of 4: mom, dad, and two teenage daughters, all over 5'10" tall. The 3rd floor bathroom was not able to be used. The handheld "shower" was too small/short for any of us. We all had to share the second floor shower which was pretty small (could barely raise arms to wash hair, and no space to change clothes). Everything about the accommodation was just too small for our family--even though the property was exa...more
What a beautifully presented and well thought out cottage. We and our dogs had such a lovely stay. The beds were so comfy and everything was immaculate. On arrival we were left with a delicious lemon cake and our dogs appreciated their treats too, thank you! We highly recommend this beautiful cottage❤️
We booked this house for a property close to my sisters wedding venue and it was utterly perfect for pre and post wedding celebrations!
We stayed at Glen Hill for a 30th birthday celebration and it could not have been better. The house was fantastic: so cosy and wonderfully autumnal, with a warm, welcoming feel the moment we walked in. The location is fantastic, with stunning views and the coast close by. It was also close to the Parkrun start line, which was perfect for our group! It's incredibly spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and the kitchen is so well equipped that cooking for a big group was a joy. It's ideal for large gatherings and get-togethers. The beds were really comfortable, and ever...more
Very nice cottage, cosy, very well equipped, comfortable, well located!!!! We loved it to stay there.
A lovely cottage in a great location, Perfect for a long weekend away with friends. Lovely courtyard garden not overlooked. Highly recommended.
Downs Cottage is a great place for an extended family holiday. We all LOVED the eclectic, (some may say eccentric ) decor and furnishings! Beds were comfy. Bathrooms bougie. Different outdoor spaces to sit were appreciated. Kitchen is very well equipped, especially if you like baking. Early mornings our little grandsons and I enjoyed exploring the beach immediately across the path, climbing rocks and trees. It’s just a shame that you need to be quite a strong swimmer to swim at this location, (I expect it’s possible elsewhere). We had a lovely time, please thank the owners.
This is a comfortable and spacious house, quiet, clean and up to date. My only niggle which is not unique to rentals is the cheap Kitchen knives and Cutlery .... know bring ones own knives
What a wonderful stay at an incredible property. We loved it and our dogs loved it. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning and sharing this stunning property with friends and family. .can't wait to return. Was lovely to meet the owner James who was an absolute gentleman. Thanks so much I have a travel business and am lucky enough to stay in some of the best hotels in the world and this place was on a par with some of them. The cottage was really beautiful but the grounds are something else. Don't hesitate to book this place. You will not regret it!
Blue Lodge Cottage is ideally situated to explore the local area. Deal town centre a short walking distance with easy accessible public transport to other areas. The cottage is spacious & comfortable. an added bonus having a parking space. We enjoyed our stay, would recommend & would book again if in the area.
Lovely place to stay in Whitstable and the location was great. Parking was a nightmare though , yes no permit was needed but it was so hard to park on the street and when we did manage to park the street is so narrow I didn't feel comfortable leaving the car as was worried about being hit or scratched. There is a carpark nearby but this was very expensive .That was the only downside to our stay would probably come and stay again though . The lovely arrival gestures of crisps, cookies and apple juice were a nice touch too
The Rabbit Hole is a lovely and very comfortable property. It is set in a rural location, but is only a short drive to the many places of interest along the Kent coast. The Rabbit Hole is very well equipped with everything you need for your stay, and has beautiful views over the countryside and towards the coast. The owners, Alan & Yvette, were very welcoming and most helpful during our stay. Our week passed by very quickly, and we look forward to returning to the Rabbit Hole again.
We were a three generation family group of six adults, two toddlers and a six-year old, and dogs. Sycamores offered plenty of space in the house and the garden. The room full of toys was well-used and thoroughly enjoyed, as was the outdoor play area, albeit that the latter had seen better days. Sycamores was pretty-much perfect for our current family. We all loved it. The facilities in the house were very good with everything required for a busy family holiday. The location was quiet, rural and pleasant with access to interesting places within reasonable reach Full marks t...more
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.
We were a family of 6 adults and 5 children, age range 15 years to 5 years. The property was very much as described in the brochure, and was ideal for us. In particular, the bedrooms are well set out, and there are more than enough bathrooms to go round. Also, the property is very well equipped and is designed to cater for large groups.We did have one serious problem in that the swimming pool water on our arrival was green and opaque, and not suitable for swimming. We phoned Keepers Cottages, and they arranged for the pool maintenance engineer to call the next morning, The issue was quickly re...more
My children and I really enjoyed our stay at Chalet 10, it was super comfortable and clean The park is well maintained and the other guest were all respectful and quiet The customer service from the team there is excellent The pool is very clean and well looked after Would highly recommend and visit again
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!
We had a nice three night stay in the cottage, which was cosy, despite the poor weather. I'd first stayed in this cottage as a child over 50 years ago, so it was nice to return and see some of the same features in place. Location was excellent and it was very comfortable, with multiple lamps making for nice lighting throughout. Only two small points could be suggested - we could have done with a couple of bigger towels for adults. When we arrived, it was pouring with rain so would have been nice to have a small welcome pack or at least milk to enable us to have a cup of tea without havi...more
We had a wonderful stay in Deal. The apartment is in the perfect spot on the High Street and near the beach. We loved the terrace, and people watching from the bay window. The apartment is beautifully decorated and furnished. Loved it!
We had a lovely stay at Ravenscourt which is a beautifully decorated home in a fantastic location for exploring the delights of Whitstable. It’s an easy 15 minute walk from the train station and the high street and the coast are literally at either end of the road. Our group of 7 ladies had a wonderful few days exploring the market and independent shops and also sampling the lovely restaurants, pubs and cafes. We had some tasty fish and chips at Ossies Fish Bar and a good Sunday Lunch at The Rock Lodge. We also enjoyed the band and atmosphere at the Old Neptune Pub on a rainy Sunday evening...more
Thank you for a lovely stay in your cottage. Great location close to the beach and a short walk from shops & restaurants. Comfortable, clean and well equipped. Downstairs living area felt very spacious. Would definitely stay again.
The cottage is very beautiful and really cosy. There's everything you need on a high level standard. The absolute highlight is the hot tub which we used everyday. The only thing we didn't like was the very busy road bordering the garden. We wanted to go for some walks but couldn't find nice paths and walking on the pavement on the road really wasn't any fun.
We recently enjoyed a sunny mid-week break at this wonderful, 3rd and 4th floor Georgian apartment. The panoramic views are stunning. This is at the North end of Deal, and so a beautiful 15/20 min. flat walk along seafront to the Pier and nearby shops and station. The apartment is large, bright and catches the sun all day and the terrace is pretty with bench and chairs and table - a huge asset. The 2 double bedrooms are both large and stunning. Good blackout curtains in bedrooms, but blinds are needed on the two living room windows. Especially to keep heat in winter and cooler in sunnier ...more
My daughter with two neurodivergent boys stayed for 4 nights. They found Corner House very comfortable, well-equipped, and very suitable for what they needed. It was very convenient for the beach and an easy walk into the centre of town. It felt like a handsome old building which had been appropriately modernised, but with many reminders of old Deal on the walls. I should add that Deal having an emergency care centre when it was needed on the final morning of their stay & staffed with lovely people was also a bonus.
We had an amazing stay! The cottage was very clean and tidy and set in a good location. Very quiet and friednly area
The Loft was the ideal location to discover Whitstable for the first time. The loft is perfect for a couple or young family and was one of the few places we could find that was central and had reserved off-street parking. The loft itself was beautifully decorated with all the facilities needed for a 'home from home' stay. The location is excellent, with the apartment only a 2-minute walk from the beach and the high street, which features a great range of independent shops and a supermarket. Whitstable has a lot to offer and we enjoyed long walks along the seafront to Tankerton and back, alw...more
The Artist’s House in Deal is a very large, beautifully spacious home packed with personality. It’s so colourful, characterful, and fascinating that every day brought a new detail to notice. I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like it. The location is brilliant for walking to the seaside and local shops, with lots of places of interest just a short drive away. Having the lovely piano for my grandson’s birthday trip made it extra special. Keepers Cottages were exceptionally helpful from start to finish; they went above and beyond. I will definitely book through them for our next holiday!
A light, bright, spacious and quiet holiday rental. The accommodation gave us plenty of space to either get together, or take some time apart. The facilities were great, with all the equipment you may need to cook, BBQ or chill out. Beds were comfortable, linens and towels new. Plenty of parking space for 4 cars. Very close to Sandwich for a stroll, boat trip or meal and close to Deal, Whitstable, Folksone and Margate for short days out.
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.
Property in a great location for everything you need for your holiday...lounge furnishings a little tired and not the most comfortable and some of the kitchen equipment could have been better thought out...however we enjoyed our stay and the agency very helpful throughout
We had a fantastic time staying in this beautiful house in a great location. Very clean and comfortable. We could only get one ring working on the hob however and there was a distinct lack of mirrors in the bedrooms. The kitchen tap also appeared to be leaking. More than one key would have been helpful.
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!
Lovely 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house, very centrally located in Broadstairs. Clearly newly renovated, and beautifully done. The heating & hot water was very efficient for such an old house with single glazed windows (Oct storm stay). Sauna was a fun addition and Kitchen was very well equipped. Highly recommend.
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 enjoyed this property. It’s great if you have a dog as the garden is large and if the weather is good there are plenty of places to enjoy outside. It’s a walk into Deal, but an enjoyable one. The kitchen is well equipped and you’ll find both things that you need there. We did have a small problem on the first night but it was dealt with immediately even though it was a Sunday and we were grateful for that. It could do with a few mirrors, so take one with you. We would definitely go back and we are very happy how keepers cottages manage this
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!
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.
Location is perfect; just a few minutes from sea front, shops, railway and bus stations. Cottage is small, but adequate for 2 (dining from trays on the sofa). Kitchen well equipped.
Penshurst House has been beautifully styled for an enjoyable and comfortable stay in Deal. It’s well located at a short walk to the sea front and town centre.
The house was lovely, comfortable and well equipped. It is well-located on the High Street in Deal. The beach and many eating places are close by (including dog-friendly ones) and also a number of independent shops. The street was relatively quiet and car parking was not a problem (on nearby streets). The town is very walkable with plenty of places to walk further with the dog. As a couple of others have mentioned in their reviews, the stairs are challenging, particularly for anybody with mobility issues or small children and babies (carrying up the stairs). Notwithstanding the age and ch...more
We had a lovely stay at Keeper’s Cottage. The location is brilliant, just a minute from the beach, with a few pubs and a good butcher nearby, as well as being a great spot for walking into Deal. We loved our cosy evenings by the log burner, although a few more logs would have been welcome. The people running the cottage were also really helpful.
The cottage is in an ideal location, with fantastic views out over the sea and over to France, and you can go for walks from the front door without needing the car. The Smugglers Inn and village shop are within walking distance and both are excellent for food and supplies. You can also walk down to St Margaret’s Bay to the beach and the Coastguard pub for food, also excellent. We had a lovely holiday and I would recommend this as a place to stay.
Our 3 genetations stay was a 100% perfect for all of us. We felt increadibly good. There was only one catch: The mattreses in the children's room could be better, we didn't use them.
The Tally Ho was in a great location minutes from the beach and high street. The property had everything we could need for our stay. We would probably stay in a different property in the future due to the steep spiral staircase which is not suitable for the elderly or with poor mobility, which my father struggled with the various steps and stairs in the property. The bathroom floor boards could also be repaired as it is a bit unsteady. The same as the kitchen floorboard was sticking up slightly and uneven. Apart from these issues, it is a large comfortable property ideal with separate bedroom ...more
Very pleasant stay in this cottage. Very comfortable beds and super quiet. Good location to visit white cliffs, Sandwich and Canterbury.
The Cottage was delightfully decorated and well equipped. It was very comfortable and was a relaxing place to stay. We liked the well maintained courtyard.
We loved our stay at west cliff, it was perfect for a multi generational seaside break. The spacious kitchen area opening onto the garden was great for socialising. The toy room was well stocked and a huge hit with our four year old. Gorgeous decor throughout and everything we needed.
Rogues Cottage was in an excellent location just a few seconds walk from the sea and promenade and situated at the right end of Deal for easy walking access to great bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. We were able to park for free on side roads. The cottage was quirky and may not be suitable for people with mobility issues due to steep stairs and steps on the ground floor. By its nature and setting it was quite dark inside so the small courtyard was a welcome addition. The bathroom was large with great shower. My husband found the bed soft and not very comfortable and although there was l...more
The house was perfect for a 50th birthday celebration stay. The house is so well equipped and had everything we needed. The location is amazing with the beach directly opposite. Would definitely choose to book here again.
Lovely very comfortable house in great quiet location. Broadstairs is great for eating out - especially at Posillipo, an authentic family run Italian. The beach is only two minutes from the front door, as is the Kent Coastal path. Parking is easy (and free) and access to the house itself very easy. Altogether a very enjoyable, hassel-free stay. Thank you!
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.
We enjoyed staying at Noggin, and found that it has been beautifully decorated and presented. For our family however, we found it quite tight space-wise. We found the spiral staircase to be restrictive for taller people, especially going down to the kitchen. The low ceiling in the kitchen was also restrictive for our son, who couldn't stand up straight in there! We found the table and chairs in the kitchen to be in a tight space and getting in and out was a bit awkward. We also found the ensuite in the master bedroom to be very tight, and thought just a loo and basin in there would have suited...more
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.
We enjoyed the lovely garden, resplendent with rose bushes in full bloom, and our dog appreciated the outdoor space. The cottage is generally comfortable but could use some upgrades. The carpeting had some stains on the stairs and we were asked to pay for extra cleaning, though we did not feel we were responsible and there was no appropriate equipment for keeping the place clean. The location is excellent for getting to the train and grocery as well as just a short walk from the High Street and a couple more blocks to the sea.
Fern Cottage what a beautiful little house. GREAT use of space and furnishings, great Location. Had a couple of smallissuses on arrival but the team at KC and the cleaners were on it staright away. TOP service. Many Thanks. We will return
We had a lovely stay in Lanes End. The weather wasn’t kind but John the owner came over daily to light the fires so we were always warm and toasty. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and the generous welcome pack of goodies was appreciated and consumed. The bedrooms were all good, with three en suite which was in part why we picked it. In summer it would clearly be lovely given it has a pool. We enjoyed trips to Rye and Appledore and were impressed by the range of eating options. Thank you Helen and John.
Lovely accommodation overlooking the sea. Small but everything we needed for 2 nights. Plenty of outside space and quiet as not yet full season. Beach was busy with locals as it was a weekend. Only downside was lack of local amenities, no shop for supplies and only one place to eat within walking distance. Would stay again, thank you
Had a great holiday at the Apartment which was comfortable, well equipped and in a great location. Went to Ramsgate by train and had a guided tour of the Tunnels used in the Second World War which was very interesting and would recommend a visit. Enjoyed walks along the promenade and beyond. All in all a lovely holiday.
Prince's Cottage is well located within Deal, close to the centre and the seafront. The property is well kept and has a lot of personal touches and decor that the owners have clearly thought about which is nice. They have provided of additional games and books for guests to use along with a detailed "About the area" pack with recommendations of what to do and places to eat. This was very thoughtful and well received. The beds were comfortable and plenty of linen was provide. Disappointing no toilet roll was provided with the property with only 20% of a roll being present in the bathroom...more
We thoroughly enjoyed our autumn break in the former bicycle shop now transformed into a beautifully designed house. It’s central but quiet, close to shops, and has a small back garden.
we have stayed at the Barn several times. It is perfectly positioned for our family - near the town, Sandwich Bay, and lots of interesting things to do. The property is comfortable, with an enclosed garden.
Considering the generally good quality of the property the towels and bedding were not up to the same standard. As the stairs are steep and uneven the handrail is too short and should be provided lower down at the turn.
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.
A great location for up to 7 people. Car parking is controlled but manageable as there is free parking about 6 minutes walk away. A car is not needed to move around Deal. Deal is a very cosy area with lots of free musical events in local pubs and restaurants. House is generally well maintained and a pleasure to stay in. There is an issue with passage lights and the settee needs updated covers, although very comfortable.
Cottage was perfectly equipped, stairs are extremely steep, and some doorways are quite low. This is our third trip to Deal this year. Keepers Cottages have a fantastic selection of places to stay. We will be back!
We found this property very comfortable and in a great location. The downside would be that the parking space is very tight to reverse into. Fortunately we didn’t take the car out each day. If you wanted to sit outside you would be looking at your car and the bins!!
Lovely house in a very convenient location. House fully equipped with everything we needed during our stay Could do with some new pillows? Many thanks for a great stay with Keepers Cottages
We had a wonderful family break at Sonnet Cottage. It's a lovely, quiet location, surrounded by countryside and lovely views. The cottage is furnished with stylish antiques and lots of Emma Bridgewater, which gives it a really homely feel. The hosts have left out plenty of books and board games plus a helpful dossier of things to do nearby. We particularly enjoyed a boat trip on a rib from Ramsgate to see seals and other wildlife, a wander along the sea front at Deal and a ghost tour in Canterbury. Some lovely walks and runs from the front door too. The only thing to note is location of ba...more
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 very pleasant stay. The house had everything we needed for everyday life. We would gladly come back.
Bun Penny apartment is lovely. Very clean and well positioned. We could see the sea from the side balcony. Lovely for sitting out there in the sun.The double bedroom leads onto another balcony at the back of the property. There is parking for one car in the secure, gated car park. This is accessed from Charles Street due to the one-way system (see Google Maps). A lift took us up to the apartment on the second floor. The double bedroom has an ensuite. I had the twin bedroom and it was just a few steps across the hall to the bathroom. There are no light switches for the bathroom. It seems to wor...more
The Hide is spacious, nicely decorated and very well equipped for a relaxing stay. The outdoor spaces are great too (including a hot tub). The Hide is a few minutes walk from the beach and the high street. The downstairs area is light and airy and really well designed for relaxing. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms and showers well equipped. It worked as a great base for day trips and we spent a lot of time in the house. Recommended!
Pond cottage was a lovely place for a peaceful stay. The right balance between charm and comfort. A drive away from shops and pubs. The garden was a great spot for alfresco meals and relaxation.
We had a lovely stay at Oldestairs. We enjoyed its arts and crafts-style decor. It was very charming - and also massive! The proximity to the sea was great, and being a short walk from a nice pub which did good food was a big bonus.
We had lovely time. All was absolutly perfect. I would Reccomand to all of you. Atmosphere, location, warmess
This house was perfect for our half term stay. We were all impressed with the high standard of decor and cleanliness of this property. The location was perfect, being just a minutes walk to the sea front and 5 minutes to the town centre. We couldn’t fault our stay in any way. We would definitely book again.
Very comfortable, nicely furnished and good garden area. Bonus of free parking is a great advantage in Deal. Enjoyed our second stay at this property.
We found the flat comfortable and the completely fenced in garden was a real plus for our dogs. There was an annoying muddle up with collecting the key from the box - the wrong number was given to us so it required quite some jiggery pokery to get into the flat - I was glad we did not arrive out of hours. I will say that it would have been helpful to have had the soda bed already made up as there were 4 of us and there was some bed linen missing - but this was quickly resolved. The bed was comfortable but my teenagers told me that the sofa bed was most uncomfortable - you could feel the metal...more
Our family will have been holidaying in Kingsdown for 100 years in 2033 and I think we all must've stayed in every house that is for rent in North and South Road! Rum Bosen is lovely, close to the beach with a practical back garden (table/long washing line). The front garden could be cut back a lot to have more space and light - the front gardens in North Road are little havens. Otherwise it's all as expected from a two up/two down in North Road!
I need to be honest, the cute quirky vibe is nice but it definitely needs some money spent on it. The bedrooms are lovely, great nights sleep but there’s not one comfortable seat in the house. Also the bathroom is dark and has a horror story vibe. The worst thing is the overwhelming musty smell just as you enter the house. I’d recommend some air fresheners to help mask the old house scent. Location is good for the lovely areas Folkestone offers - good for a couple of nights.
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.
This accommodation was booked for a trip down memory lane for us - we first met here 50years ago. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped & we were warm & cosy when the weather turned chilly. A great central location in the heart of Whitstable from which to explore, with a host of good cafés & restaurants to choose from. I would've given a 5star rating for both comfort & cleanliness but for a couple of things. Firstly, as 'oldies', a rubber bath mat would have been helpful - the bath base was very slippery & there isn't a handrail or receptacle for soap/shampoo bars when s...more
The bed was the most comfortable one we've ever slept in.The sitting area in the bedroom was very relaxing. The bathroom was quirky but lovely .unfortunately we stayed during the heatwave which the house was not equipped for. The kitchen and utility rooms were scorching hot. Some blackout blinds are desperately needed and also in the front room. There are no fans anywhere to use . The kitchen was well equipped. The utility room was very dirty with weeds growing indoors. We left it cleaner than we found it. When it rained lots of water came in under the back door . The excuse of a small gar...more
We had a lovely stay at Seascape. The house had everything we needed and was in a great location for both the town and the harbour. We visited as a family so house was great for us. Would say that if 8 adults might not be suitable as the small bedroom had bunk beds which were a bit of a squeeze in the room.
Perfect location with fantastic views. Whistable is a lovely location and with this house you are close to everything.
Great location, nice and comfortable and lovely small garden to relax in. Perfect place to stay to enjoy Deal!
Good location Good kitchen and dining areas Carpets in poor condition Smaller accommodation than expected
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!
We visited Deal for a family gathering and Blue Skies turned out to be a great choice of accommodation. The house had everything we needed - including a spacious kitchen and comfortable sitting room. The beds were comfortable, the WiFi was good enough for online meetings and there were lots of towels and places to plug things in. More importantly, a great location near both seafront and town so once we had arrived and unpacked, we parked the car on the seafront and walked everywhere for the entirety of our stay.
We had a week at Poppy cottage and it did not disappoint. The cottage was clean and comfortable and we stayed in the heatwave but the cottage stayed lovely and cool. The location is fantastic for pubs and the beach and we had some very beautiful scenic walks. We loved kingsdown so much we are thinking of moving there. 10 out of 10 stay
Such a beautiful cottage! Has a secure cute garden with bbq, tables & chairs. The two bedrooms are great size with two double beds so comfy with ceiling fans. WiFi & smart tv. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you need (baking, pots, cooking utensils, some condiments, dishwasher etc) everything so clean. Brilliant location for pebble beach 10 mins, shops less than a minute walk, harbour 10 mins, boat trips, seafood etc. you can walk promenade for miles. Highly recommend
This holiday home provided a wonderful space for my family to make some special memories. We were a multi generation family with the age range from 90 to 2! It worked so well. This is our 6th stay with Keepers Cottages and they are undoubtedly the most friendly and helpful team. Their customer service is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. We popped in to see them at their beautiful offices opposite Deal Castle and had a coffee. Highly recommend them and they have so many wonderful holiday homes.
Only negative would be that the garden/decking could do with a bit of TLC, decking broken and unsafe in some areas and lots of overgrown weeds. However, that said it was a beautiful location and the cottage and views were amazing! I’ll definitely be booking again.
We had a lovely stay at Hoop & Griffin. Very nice house, close to the beach and the shops. Really enjoyed everything. The beds are comfy and the overall set up fit our group of five (two adults, three teenagers) well. Would stay here again! One mini minor point was a broken window in one of the bedrooms. Am sure it will get fixed… Overall a great place.
Very spacious house, well situated for Dumpton Gap beach (15 min walk), a further 15 mins to get to Broadstairs itself. Lovely big kitchen and a really nice garden, not sure why there are not any pictures of the garden available. Beds really comfy. The only thing it could do with are some fans, it was very hot the week we were there and they would have been appreciated. Keepers Cottages are an excellent company to book with, my second time of using them, you can actually get to speak to someone if need be, can’t fault them!!
Skippers,a gorgeous place in the heart of Deal, with everything on the doorstep! A cute courtyard. Well stocked kitchen. The logburner was a big bonus for a cozy night in. Parking was fine , left the car in Marine Road, next to the Deal Castle. Building works were very quiet, only saw one guy for the whole week! Im so glad we chose Skippers
Location was great & cottage full of characters, but it could do with a thorough dusting. There was heavy dust in many areas including under the beds,
A bit basic but very convenient for visiting local attractions. Was fine for 3 people but would be a bit cramped for 6.
Lovely clean, well equipped holiday home. Back yard could do with a bit of work just to make it a bit more appealing. Few small steps inside to be careful of.
House was a bit tatty and could do with a deep clean. Beds not comfy at all and second sofa in living rroom not comfy either so really only one useable sofa. Smoke alarm batteries died in the middle of the night and the bleeping drove us mad - managed to dismantle it but ruined our sleep - no call back or apology from the management either. Also would expect basics like tea coffee and sugar - but nothing. Would not recommend.
We had a good time in Hythe and at Whispering Waves during our recent stay. The location is excellent, and the property is charmingly decorated with a unique flair. It had everything we needed for our few days away. The sofas in the open-plan lounge were very comfortable, as were the beds, and the kitchen was well equipped. However, we did have one concern regarding the sunken bathtub, which has deep steps that are difficult to navigate. Adding a handrail would improve safety.
Whilst the cottage was very charming and pretty, in a great location. It is in need of some attention and updating. The garden felt particularly like no one had cared for it in some time. I also found the number of steps challenging from the street, in addition to the staircase and fragile rope. I feel this should be emphasised more as it would not suit everyone.
we have stayed at Poplar Farmhouse several times, and find it very comfortable, and the perfect house for our family. There are many tourist places to visit, as well as some wonderful beaches to cool off in the hot weather. We took our dog who was well contained in the enclosed garden. Thankyou.
Ideal little place for a quiet break, perfectly located for the beach and town. Everything provided for your stay but could do with a little updating of furniture, especially beds which were all singles and a little uncomfortable. Lacked storage/hanging space in the bedrooms and shower doors stiff to open.. Provision of kitchen equipment good but again could do with a little updating especially glasses and mugs - only one wine glass.Although there were 4 garden chairs there wasn't a table so we were unable to eat outside which would have been lovely. Overall it is a lovely place and meeted...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
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.
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 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
It’s a nice small cottage, but please mind your hat. It’s walking distance to all nice places within Deal. The courtyard looks nice on the photos, but unfortunately it was not nice sitting there.
We had a beautiful stay at Droveway house for a long weekend. The property is situated on a private road, in a quiet secluded area. The house itself is completely idyllic and even better than the pictures. It is big, plenty of room and a generous living space. It is a very short drive into whitstable, (we didn’t walk it) and Tankerton beach is very close by. The owner left out toys and great little bits for our two young children which they loved. The interior and design is in keeping with the house but also modern; excellence finishes. A few minor points; mirrors in bedrooms needed...more
Spacious cottage in wonderful location with large courtyard garden. However, we arrived to find leftover takeaway food in the fridge in summer house, (obviously the cleaners hadn’t checked that) a split toilet seat, broken and loose arm of armchair in living room, a grubby and brown stained shower curtain with missing hanging rings. The curtains in the main bedroom also had missing curtain rings which meant the curtains sagged when pulled across (looked like a students flat share!). The cane chair in the main bedroom also had a badly split arm rest. A piece of ‘fabric, (albeit with actually ...more
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.
location: property is right next to a railway line and opposite a caravan park. we experienced excessive noise from both. we also (and this is nothing to do with keepers cottages or the owner but important to say) experienced some racially aggravated harassment from around the immediate vicinity of the property during our stay. the area felt quite hostile to Black people. the following is edited/extracted from feedback email sent directly to the owner: general cleaning and maintenance — we had a blocked shower, and a blind was hanging off the wall on arrival. the place looked as though i...more
Excellent location and very quirky building however we found it very noisy (creaky) and the strange layout wasn’t ideal for a family. It would benefit from a deep clean. Overall it was ok for the price but we like a bit more luxury when on holiday.
