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
One of the nicest of many homes we have rented short term in Deal. Very stylish and comfortable furnishings and decor. Super clean. Nice central location. Very steep stairs with rope as banisters which was fine for us, but may not be suitable for all.
Absolutely stunning property. Everything you could need and more. So beautiful. So comfortable. Beautiful accessories, lots of thought and love put into property. We even had a pint of milk for a welcome, much needed cuppa at the end of a long journey, plus a bottle of wine which we enjoyed under the stars in the hot tub! The owner kindly gave us permission to have our grandchildren come and visit for takeaway and hot tub. Loved it so much we're planning going back asap!
A delightful and restful holiday cottage with spectacular views and extremely welcoming and helpful owners.
A stunning light filled, extremely comfortable home with an immaculate kitchen & bathroom. Very close to the sea. WOW!!
The house was fabulous; very well equipped in every room, with beautiful art and ornaments throughout. We had a lovely weekend. The location was close to the beach and the shops.
Lovely spacious accommodation for a nice getaway to Ramsgate. Very child friendly which made it very convenient. Walkable to the beach and the shops and even the little park out front was nice to have. Would recommend and would stay again if we return to the area.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fig Tree House. Such a lovely quirky property, beautifully styled. It had absolutely everything we needed and more! We'd return in a heart beat! Great location, right next to the beach and walking distance from Deal's lovely high street. We had a very enjoyable family break exploring the local area and enjoying coastal walks. Fig Tree House was the perfect base!
We had a wonderful family few days at this lovely house, extremely comfortable and very well equipped. Deal High Street is lovely with lots of independent shops and cafes and a great Saturday market opposite the house. Parking in surrounding roads was easy. Lots to do and see we will surely be back
Strand Apartment is very centrally located right in the heart of Deal. All the necessary comfort is available on site to make the most of your weekend. There is no traffic noise, the beds are good and the little attentions make Strand Apartment a place to come back to and we will certainly do so.
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.
Lovely cottage, 5 minutes from sea and town. Good parking. Everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
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.
Very comfortable, well located for centre of town. We had a lovely stay there and wish it could have been longer.
The customer service was excellent right from booking and they were happy to accommodate a last minute request for one of their cocktail boxes. The cottage was lovely and in an excellent location in Deal, would definitely come back
Lovely Clean Lodge With All Facilities Excellent Helpful Hosts Fantastic View Of The River Stour With The Wildlife From The Lodge Window Very Peaceful Location Excellent Bus Service Of Fifteen Minutes Into Canterbury Shopping And Restaurants Local Grocery Store Ten Minutes From Lodge
The Drift in Deal is a gorgeous property. It is beautifully furnished and provided so many lovely touches. I was very impressed with it all. We enjoyed a few days in this property which is centrally located and an easy walk into Deal. I also would praise the staff at Head Office. There was a problem with one of the door keys. This was dealt with very quickly and communication was excellent. Thank you.
This was the perfect place for a family holiday. Well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable - especially the beds! We all had a great time.
I had a lovely short stay at this perfectly formed little house. It has been beautifully renovated and had everything I needed. As I was there in early March, I made good use of the woodburner! Customer Service was perfect too.
We are a multi generational family of 7, with ages from 24 to 96. The house was perfect for our family get together – lovely bedrooms, great communal living spaces and a stunning view out over the cliffs to the channel beyond. The Kitchen was perfect for family meals and, given most of the rooms were on one level, it was perfect for my 96 year old Father in Law to move around. He spent much of his time with binoculars or book in the conservatory area. The rest of us explored the fabulous historical towns and beachside and cliff views. Great walking straight from the house, or lovely drives to...more
Excellent stay with first class service from the team at Keepers Cottages thank you for all your professionalism
Saltwater Cottage is situated in the very atmospheric and historical streets of Deal. A hop and a skip from the High Street, with gorgeous indie shops and a thriving Saturday market, we fell in love with the town and this wonderful, stylish, and immaculate cottage. On 3 levels, the stairs are steep but the character is all there with the beautiful furnishings and artworks. The bedrooms are super comfortable, the bathroom is huge with a gorgeous freestanding bath and lush toiletries for guests to use, and the kitchen diner downstairs is a great place to hang out. The quality of everything was a...more
We had a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable stay at The Granary at Newage Farm. The property is beautifully designed and spotlessly clean, and we both felt that every little detail had been attended to. During our three night stay, we couldn't think of a single thing that we needed that had not been provided, and our host was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. We both loved the fact that the host was there for us if we needed assistance, but also totally respected our privacy. We had originally intended to drive to local sites, but as we live not too far away and can vis...more
We loved our stay at Fisherman’s Cottage. It is beautifully decorated, warm and had everything we needed for a lovely break in Deal.
Stunning house in a quiet location yet handy for the both the beach and all Deal’s amenities. Beautifully furnished… fabulous beds and bed linen. A perfect place to stay whilst discovering the joys of the Kent coast. 5 Star.
We stayed with our grown daughters and their partners, booked the sunshine too. Gardens front and back to catch the sun or sea breeze or shelter as you wished. Every bedroom is large and comfortable. Big kitchen and we cooked a lot. Coffee machine was popular. TV struggled with all the family on WiFi. Great spot for walking over the cliffs with chalk meadows full of late summer wild flowers to St Margaret’s bay; lunched at The Coast Guard and the Pines. Walked to Walmer Castle via coast path and into Deal, evening drinks at Zetland Arms watching the sun go down. Beach is stony bring shoes to...more
Riley cottage is the perfect spot for a small family to explore Deal and the surrounding area from. Super location on Middle Street - lovely to walk along and see all the history and a stones throw from both the beach and the excellent shops and restaurants on the High Street. We loved starting our day having breakfast in the little courtyard at the back!
Warwick Villa is incredibly spacious, well furnished and beautifully finished. Our family group immediately felt relaxed and completely at home there for Christmas. Location is excellent it’s 5 mins walk from the sea with a choice of walking along the coast either toward Deal or Kingsdown. Deal has some great little shops and pubs and we can’t wait to return to this beautiful house to explore the area some more. Thanks also to the excellent staff at Keepers Cottages for making the whole rental experience so straightforward for us.
Great house full of quirky and unusual objects.... something new to see everyday. Plenty of room for 2 people Comfortable beds Location was very good The steps kept us fit!!! Would recommend parking in Bouverie Place....24hr NCP car park....stays can be extended remotely through the app Loved the welcome pack.... delicious granola! The light was a bit dim in the bathroom....maybe a light over the mirror would be good Overall,we really enjoyed our stay
Great location for exploring Sandwich. Well equipped kitchen and cottage very cosy especially with the lovely fire when it got chilly
We really enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable 3rd floor apartment close to the railway station and a few minutes walk from the pier. The kitchen was extremely well fitted and bathroom modern and clean. Spacious and airy open plan living area. New furniture and carpets/flooring. Views over the rooftops of Deal towards Walmer and beyond. There is no lift but we managed the stairs. It was great to have a parking space. The heating boiler buzzed and vibrated a bit against the bedroom wall but this could be fixed with better insulation.
We spent Christmas 2025 here and we couldn't recommend it enough. It is perfect two to four people or two couples. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The cozy dinning room was perfect and the log burner was an added bonus that we used given the cold Christmas. Very close to the beach, pier and cafe which we love and all the independant boutiques and shop on the high St.
An exceptional find. The garden was something out of a film… The secret garden! Lots of different places to sit and a nice touch the sauna and hot tub, plus always somewhere different to sit out admiring the views and just chilling. I always take certain kitchen and bathroom ‘stuff’ but didn’t need to as everything there and some. Very slight criticism would like black out blinds to the roof light windows and the last bit of the drive on uneven road was a bit of a pain (which appreciate nothing can be done about that) BUT that will definitely not stop us coming back again. Had a brief chat wit...more
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.
This property is really well equipped and furnished, with a luxury feel on a small, but very comfortable scale. It feels remote, but is within 30 mins or less of nearest shops and facilities. Loads of public footpaths and walks to nearby villages, with a great choice of pubs on most routes. Very clean and brilliantly maintained - we have no complaints and would love to return and explore this part of Kent a little more.
A great place to stay with family and friends. Fantastic garden, and lots of space for the kids and grown-ups to hangout. With nearby farm shops and a lovely old pub with great food in walking distance.
We enjoyed a lovely few days here over Christmas as it’s the ideal location for us to be near family who live nearby. St Mary’s is in a peaceful village with the benefit of a beautiful and large garden for our dogs. The house is spacious with an extremely well stocked kitchen and lots of storage space in all the bedrooms. Everything was immaculately clean and well looked after. The TV is on the small side so bear this in mind if you’re big telly watchers. We had delicious meals at both village pubs, which are an easy walk away. Would highly recommend and hope to stay here again next time we’re...more
Lovely comfortable cottage. Very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Will definitely book again!
Let's get the negatives out of the way first. We have given a low score regarding cleanliness and condition for two very specific reasons: 1. On arrival at the apartment, we noticed how cold it was. It transpired that there was a problem with the boiler which meant that there was no heating or hot water. This was at 4.30 on the Friday afternoon so we called the office immediately knowing that they were due to close at 5.30pm. The call went to voicemail so we left a message requesting urgent assistance. By this time we had put our coats back on! There was no immediate response so we called aga...more
We had a fabulous New Year with family and friends at Downs Cottage. The house is stunning and its location right next to the beach made our stay really special. We absolutely loved the open plan kitchen / lounge area, a perfect place to host a gathering of family and friends.
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.
Beautiful apartment, very well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely theme of books/printing and stylishly designed.
The Stable has been converted into a lovely place to stay. Everything has been done to a very high standard and there is attention to detail throughout. The welcome pack containing local produce, including homemade bread and honey was no exception. Lisa and George were welcoming and informative.
Incredible place to stay. So well equipped, immaculate and thoughtful, lovely welcoming touches. The location directly on the beach is beyond compare and the history of the houses and its location add so much to the charm. Thank you
Perfect well equipped cottage for four people and a dog ....spacious living area, ligh, clean and airy and a tranquil garden, a stones throw from the beach and all local facilities, added bonus of exclusive use of beach hut and kayak - we loved our stay!
We had to change our booking from the Pink House to Dexters at last minute because of building noise next door. We’ve stayed at Dexters many times in the past but had forgotten how steep and awkward the stairs are for people now in their late 70s. The house is great but won’t be staying there again!!
It’s in a great location for all of Deal. The sea, the town, pubs, restaurants and of course RCPGC. Our only exception to the scoring is comfort .. I am tall and the cottage is small. That aside, everything was excellent and we hope to return soon.
The location of the flat is very central - easy to walk everywhere. The flat has a big bedroom and well equipped kitchen. Everything was perfect!
A lovely house in a great location. Close to Old Town, New Town, Railway station and shops. Lots of restaurants nearby too.
This house has everything you could want during your stay! It’s comfy spacious and the location is perfect!
Villa Vita is a great house, spacious, comfortable, warm and welcoming. The location is super, a few steps to the independent shops and cafes at the north end of the high street and just 3 minutes to the beach. All the major shops within 5 minutes walk. We look forward to a return visit.
Beautiful and cosy cottage, lovely decor, very warm and welcoming. The owner was extremely pleasant and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property
A lovely property which worked really well for our mixed group of three generations of our family plus a very small dog. All prior requests were met and available on arrival eg travel cot and high chair and we were pleasantly surprised at how spacious the property was. The location is excellent as the house is very close to Deal High Street and all its amenities. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Deal.
We had the most incredible Christmas stay at Ravenscourt. It was quite honestly the best house we’ve ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The house itself is absolutely beautiful, impeccably thought through, and a real joy to be in. We’ve come home completely obsessed and full of interior inspiration. The location in Whitstable is perfect too: charming, atmospheric and ideal for winter walks by the sea. The house was a minutes walk up to the beach! The team were exceptional from start to finish, so friendly, attentive and effortless to deal with. They made every...more
This was our first stay at a holiday park which we enjoyed very much. The chalet was very comfortable and fulfilled all our requirements. The only drawback is that you need to get into the car for any shopping or visits into town. All in all a very enjoyable stay.
We loved our time at Tally Ho - it was an amazing location, great vantage point to explore the historic and beautiful Deal. The team offered outstanding customer service both head of and during our stay. We can’t wait for our next staycation!
Claire’s Cottage is a very cosy, warm cottage. It is also very well equipped and had all the amenities you might need. The owner took great trouble in decorating it for Christmas and made it very welcoming.
Location Fantastic!!. Very comfortable stay , warm and many facilities . Lots of home touches.We have a dog, the walks were enjoyable She was made very welcome in all shops and eating places. Had Christmas Lunch at the Pearson Arms which we would highly recommend . Parking, you cannot park outside for more than an hour ( if you can find a space) however you park for free within a five-ten minute walk.Nelson Rd , Marsh Wall Lane are nearest. Be aware no microwave?, and hanging space in some bedrooms limited. In summary very memorable stay, and hopefully will visit Whitstable soon
What a stunning holiday home Star Cottage is. Beautiful decor, great location for walking into Whitstable which we absolutely loved. The attention to detail of Star Cottage was superb. Everything had been thought of. Gorgeous soft furnishings, the spacious rooms worked perfectly for 2 couples and 2 small dogs. Highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed.
This was the second time our team of 10 stayed in the delightful Stone Hall Farmhouse. Everything about the booking, the property, the garden and its facilities were just spot on. Thank you team at Keepers Cottages for looking after us so well yet again.
Good location. (+Great coffee shop almost next door). Excellent property (apart from a couple of loose door handles). Lovely clean house.
A great location for exploring the Kent coast with easy, pleasant walks in either direction direct from the apartment. Nicely outside the centre of Deal but with easy walking access to the various nice restaurants, cafes and Astor Theatre. Easy access to several EV charging spots in town too.
We really enjoyed our stay at Pebble Cove and would recommend without hesitation. Beautiful views over the sea and the property was spotless. Will definitely book again! Bravo!
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.
Bowden Lodge was the perfect property for our family get together of four generations. Having a downstairs bedroom with en suite and easy access to the living room and games room which in turn had easy access to the wonderful garden was ideal for our 96 year old great Nan The enormous garden was enjoyed by everyone for ball games, sitting and chatting and barbecuing in the evening. We had fantastic weather which was a bonus. Short walk to the beach and local pubs meant driving could be kept to a minimum. Highly recommend and would love to return when the pool is in use.
The property was totally satisfactory. We had a few issues with operating the heating system when we arrived in winter and it took a few days to get help with regulating it, but after that, system worked well. The location is great for pedestrians, close to the beach and also to shops. Nicely decorated cottage, and stairs are good. The TV was not a smart TV as far as we knew, so we had limited streaming. Kitchen well equipped and a larger fry pan was provided when we asked for one. A new hose also provided but we never figured out how to attach and use it.
Very comfortable, and well equipped modern town house in great location for exploring Whitstable. Highly recommended.
The George is ideally located for our needs during our stay in Deal each Spring. Ample parking provision for several vehicles in secure surrounds. The only issue with the key fobs to access the gates and the house is there aren't enough of them. An additional set or two would be helpful. On saying this, this is our only gripe. The house is always presented well, it's clean, tidy and welcoming with a basket of goodies and other provisions laid out on arrival. The rooms are spacious and comfortable throughout and the garden areas are great for entertaining on a nice warm evening. A place well wo...more
A superb property located in the heart of Deal a d yet very, very quiet. Ideal for my working trip bit will definitely return here for a break so e time soon. Keepers team also resolved my minor question in no time at all. All in all, an exemplorary place to stay and service from the Keepers management team Thank you and see you soon!!
A beautifully designed apartment with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent location for the beach, the high street and access to further along the coast. Just exactly what we needed and some tasty treats left for our arrival. Very kind!
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.
Glen House is a great place to stay. It is full of character with large spacious rooms and there was room for all of us, 10adults, 6 children and 2 babies. The main house is grand and both the Annexe and flat are very comfortable. The gardens are a delight, the children absolutely loved the large lawn and the gravel pathways at the bottom. A place to return to as we had only a brief weekend. Thank you Keepers Cottage for your efficiency, from booking to our stay was seamless and everyone so pleasant.
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.
This was the second time we had been to Rogue's Cottage, and we had just as nice a time as the first. The cottage was a little bastion of comfort on some very cold, windy days! There was everything we needed and the decor and ambience were lovely. Dogs are welcome there too and that was very important to us. I think Rogue's Cottage will be our go-to place when we come down here. Highly recommended.
We made a very last minute decision to take a weeks holiday. There was a storm forecast but Kent looked to be avoiding the worst of it so we decided to head for somewhere along the coast, waiting for the very last forecast before making our final decision. After a quick internet search we found Tides Reach and thought it would suit our needs. We weren’t wrong ! I phoned Keeper Cottages on the Thursday to make a booking for the next day, this was a requirement as you cannot book at such short notice online. The booking was seamless and everyone I dealt with was extremely nice and helpful. They ...more
Woodman's Cottage is one of the nicest holiday homes we have stayed in. Very quirky with lots of beams and a very cosy old world feel, but with very modern furniture and fittings. The hot tub was lovely, even in November! The owners were very helpful too if we had any problems. The cottage is only about 3 miles between Canterbury and Whitstable, so in a very good position for visiting them and the surrounding area. We will definitely be coming back.
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.
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.
The cottage was excellent, offering all that we needed.* Central location *Easy access *Very comfortable *Excellent decor *All fixtures and fittings of a quality standard. *Very comfortable bed . (Only thing we missed were some smaller coffee cups and a scoop for measuring coffee for the cafetaire) We would certainly stay here again should we be in Deal.
Growing up in Walmer, we had often seen this house and its neighbour, and now we had the chance to actually live here for a few days. From the front it doesn't look that big, but it is deciptively large. When not visiting our favourite places in East Kent, we spent most of the time in the huge kitchen-dining room at the back of the house. The location on Wellington Parade is perfect for walks to the Zetland Arms or to Walmer Castle. Sadly, there was a death in the family while we were staying at Downsview, so it meant a lot to us that so many family members were in one place. We would definit...more
The Corner House. Tranquil. Comfortable. Stylish and well equipped. Excellent beds, and bathroom. Heating and water easy to operate and beautifully hot. A great place to stay.
The Writer´s Cottage was perfect! Good walking distance to every of our favoured destinations (the ocean, station, parking, Pepper´s organic shop, cafe´s & delis at the high street, supermarket...), the kitchen is very well equipped, in general the cosy house is beautifully decorated. We had a lovely time - could not have been better. The Keepers Team is outstanding: Helpful and kind and curates the best properties to stay in at the Kentish Coast.
A lovely property in a great Deal location. There is plenty of space having two sitting rooms and a large kitchen diner which gives flexibility for everyone. The property was nice and warm (which in our experience is not always a given for a January break) and I would recommend Ivy House as a good all year round choice for a holiday in Deal.
i came for a long weekend with my two daughters my grandson and 2 dogs so as you can imagine…busy the house was exactly as the photos and very spacious the beds were very comfortable and room enough for your clothes literally minutes from the beech i would definitely recommend this cottage and hopefully we will be back
We loved our stay at Fern Cottage. It was such a comfortable property, with lovely decor. The enclosed garden was a haven for our dog Ralf and perfect for sitting out in the sun and the short walk (a couple of mins) to the Main Street and sea front was a gift. The kitchen had everything we needed and the property had such a relaxing feel to it. Such a great base for exploring Whitstable and beyond. Can highly recommend.
We were a party of eight, 5 adults and 3 children aged 9-14, plus our 2 four legged friends. We all enjoyed our stay at the barn it was in a lovely location off the beaten track but still close to all the amenities. The cafe at Sandwich lakes served an excellent breakfast and all 3 children had fun feeding the chickens and the pigs all in the most tranquil setting despite being on a major road. The barn is a wonderful property and well furnished with everything you need for a stay away from home.
We had a lovely stay at the cottage over Easter weekend. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking, and the cottage benefits from a nice outdoor space. The house is a little old fashioned, some could call it charming. Pillows could do with being softer. All in all, it's good value and in a great location for the market and high street, and only a couple of blocks from the seafront.
We stayed here with our daughter, her husband and two grandchildren. We had a wonderful time. The spacious house is very well equiped and thought out, the toys and books were a hit with the grandchildren and made life easier. The house is very well located, near to shops, eateries and the beach. We were sad to leave this beautiful house and all hope to return.
Flint House has been finished to an exceptional standard and provided everything we needed. It’s almost directly on the beach and well connected to many local areas and attractions.
Moat Farm House was fantastic for our three generation family Christmas. The house is full of character and very well equipped. The location is perfect with just a few minutes walk to the village where we went for Christmas carols at the church. Everyone enjoyed our stay and the younger grandkids were quite upset when we left and asked if we could go again, I would highly recommend this house for family get togethers.
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.
Beautifully styled house with stunning views. Some issues with water pressure in the bathroom, it all in all a pleasant mid week break in delightful location.
Good location difficult to park Very clean. Garden not suitable for chidren. Ideally single beds in second bedroom. Overall very
Skimming Stone was a perfect cosy weekend retreat for us, and our small dog. Very clean and well appointed, it had all we needed for our stay. The living areas and main bedroom are very comfy and the en suite bathroom excellent. We enjoyed the log burner in the evenings. It is very well situated for local pubs and restaurants. The stairs to upstairs are steep and probably not for the infirm or very young. Highly recommend!
Fantastic location just moments from the beach, shops and cafes. Comfortable beds, lovely little garden and everything in the kitchen that you need. A few decorative repairs needed but didn’t detract from the lovely experience.
Very stylish accommodation. Would love to know where they get their light fittings from. Nice comfortable stay in ideal location.
Gorgeous house, great location, fab hosts. We will be back! Loved it! From 2 very fulfilled families of 4 x
Lovely Cottage, we were very lucky with the weather and were able to get out and explore the Kent countryside. The only things to point out where if you’re taller than 5ft 10 you need to be careful not to bang your head on the eaves and the name of the cottage is difficult to spot as it’s on an open gate.
Really Interesting place. Stylish, high end furnishings and comfortable. Couple of things would make it more welcoming. Lot of dust on lampshades and behind TV. I notice cos allergic. Little things like a bit of tin foil, kitchen paper, couple of herbs and bit of oil would be nice. Washing machine provided but no tablets or clothes horse. Not too much to ask really. Outside space really needs cleaning especially as looking at broken windows of another property. Appreciate, not a lot you can do about that but at least it's quiet apart from kitchen extractor. Bins do Not a great introducti...more
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.
Great place to stay for either a family/families or group heading to Kent Golf Coast. Highly recommend.
Excellent location. Good facilities. Parking space a bonus. We are regular visitors and shall return next year. A visit to Zetland Arms is a must
We had a wonderful three-week stay at Captain's Cottage. The location is perfect - especially for young families or older visitors - with the beach, the castle, the playground, the amenities at Roman Landings and the large supermarkets all on the doorstep. The bedrooms are all generously sized and with two bathrooms and two WCs, it's easy to have some privacy. The property itself is in need of some TLC, but with young children, friends and family all visiting us, it suited us that way. The team at Keeper's Cottages were quick to respond to issues and were always helpful and polite. Thank you f...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.
What a great stay here - location perfect, wonderful view, comfy beds, a great breeze keeping the property cool in an heatwave and all the gadgets we needed, kitchen well kitted out and very relaxing. Just a stones throw to the sea and a refreshing dip, close to some truly fabulous fish and chips and 15 mins walk to the town centre. What really made the difference were the excellent team at keepers (especially Phoebe)who helped us with locating the travel cot and helped put us up, even sending someone round when all 4 of us puzzled at how to keep it up (there is a knack), at 5.30 on a Friday. ...more
Excellent location from main street shops, places to eat and drink and the beach. Quiet. Very steep staircase, shame no downstairs WC. Simply furnished but had all that we needed. Some people might not like the shabby chic interior. Could do with a towel rail in the shower room and a table in attic bedroom to place makeup etc. Light switches take a bit of getting use to.
Experience from start to finish with Keepers was top class from start to finish. Fabulous advisers , both on the phone and via email was so helpful. House was outstanding. Cannot fault anything Thank you Keepers Cottage team , particularly Laura and Kirsty
A wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet, and just switching off for a few days with family. Stand in front of the cottage, facing the fields ahead of you, and just listen to the soothing silence, a real change from our city life. Well-positioned for access to plenty of nice beaches, best of which was Ramsgate, less than 30 mins drive.
Perfect place to enjoy the lovely town of Deal! Property was well equipped and with a cosy feel ideal for Christmas.
The apartment is light, well eqipped and quiet. It is in an excellent location, close to the sea front and shops/cafes and about 10 minutes walk to train station. The only slight negative, the bedroom and hallway windows look out onto the bins from the flats - probably not a real issue for most though.
Amazing view over open farm land with the sea in the distance Friendly and helpful owners who were on hand if needed Very clean comfortable accommodation Would stay again if visiting the area
It's been our second time there. There will be a third time for sure. The cottage is so cosy. A great place to relax.
This is a lovely, well equipped spacious apartment. The location is very good but a little let down by the view of some of the surrounding buildings. Our stay was enjoyable apart from the incredibly uncomfortable sofas in the lounge area. This meant that we mainly sat at the dining table, which is not ideal for relaxing! Suggest the owners invest in some new seat cushions as they are clearly beyond their best. Would be happy to return if this was resolved.
A beautiful property that was elegantly furnished yet very comfortable. The property supplied everything that you would need. The location was fantastic in the center of deal yet situated in a quiet road very close to the beach. We definitely recommend this property to friends and family.
we had a great stay here over easter weekend! the house is so cosy and homely. the new green sofas really make such a difference - my family has been renting this cottage for many years in the summer and we love it. the garden so great. loved my daily cold swims, amazing dinner at updown, deal market etc. highly recommend and great communication by keepers cottages. cant wait to come back
We had a wonderful time at Oldestairs. The house is beautiful and full of character and Keepers Cottages made everything extremely easy for us. The beds are really comfy and while it’s an old house everything works well. The location is fantastic, moments from the beach and there is masses to do in the surrounding area.
We loved our stay at Little Chart, which is a two minute walk from Deal’s seafront. The cottage is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. Comfy sofa/armchairs in the living room, a separate dining room, and a log fire that we really enjoyed. The walled garden is a good size and a sunny spot for a morning cuppa. Many thanks.
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.
The property was warm and cosy, kitchen equipment was disappointing. The house could do with some TLC
Short walk to beautiful quiet beach. Nice relaxing living space and well kept garden. Would stay again
We had a wonderful week at half term. Cute old cottage with sea view in the best location. It was very warm and cosy even in February and has an electric fireplace which was a bonus. Beds very comfy and has everything you could need. The only slight negatives for us was the decor and furnishings felt a bit tired and the shower isn’t very good. Also just as a heads up but there’s zero soundproofing between rooms if you’d planned on a lie in but we should have expected that in this type of cottage so our bad! We loved this cottage however and we had a great holiday Thankyou!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House is great, we particularly liked that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Sea view from living room, interesting and historic development. 2 parking spaces very convenient. Overall clean but some kitchen equipment tired and some plates, glasses and table mats actually dirty with encrusted food. I appreciate that it’s difficult to check every plate but the mats were out on the table. Overall furniture good but carpets stained. Did not like having to reach through a very prickly pyracantha bush to get to key box. We couldn’t open windows, that might be us being c...more
At the end of October 2025 spent a lovely 5 day family get together at Blue Skies. We received a warm welcome from the owner and housekeeper who thoughtfully provided us with fresh milk. It was very welcome after a long drive. This characterful house was clean, comfortable, very well equipped and a great selection of books. Situated in a superb location close to the beach and all local amenities. The only criticism would be the bathrooms and toilet need updating.
Very pretty and comfortable and on a lovely street handy for the seafront and high st. My twin room had two good-sized beds and didn't remotely feel like a 'kid's room'. The only bad point was that we couldn't get any hot water out of the overhead shower, but we managed with the hand-held one.
The cottage is well situated and well appointed. It is clean and offers excellent facilities. There are lots of glasses and plates in the kitchen. Strangely enough we could not find a vegetable peeler: it would be good to check the basics are covered. However we are delighted with our stay and would recommend the cottage to family and friends.
My family and I , had a wonderful week staying at Seas the day. The house was wonderful and I would highly recommend.
Fantastisch chalet. Nice view. Very clean. Thank you for the cookies en the warm welcome. The only thing that needs update is the curtains. We will book this chalet again when we want to visit England.
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
The location couldn’t have been better right on the beach and next to a fantastic pub but the property lacked in areas. The garden was very tired and covered in weeds. Not a particularly pleasant area to sit out in. Several of the decking boards felt like you could put your foot through them. There was a tap but no outside shower or hose to wash the dogs after being in the sea. Inside was lovely but no standing showers. We had to sit in the free standing bath and use hand held shower to wash or have baths and with two big teenage boys this wasn’t ideal. Would be easy to just put an attachme...more
We stayed at the oyster cottage in Whitstable which was anvery charming house, well decorated and spacious. Loved the local art all around the house and had everything at hand. Personally I didn’t like the beds, one was too hard and the other one had a pit. Otherwise it would have been perfect.
A lovely period cottage by the sea. Cosy and comfortable and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen while perfectly usable but for self catering had limited cooking equipment which is fine if you intend to eat out. The cottage itself was warm with the added bonus of a log burner. My only criticism is that the combi boiler in the top bedroom kicks in throughout the night even when switched off at the thermostat, resulting in a very disturbed sleep. I would definitely choose to stay with keepers cottages again.
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.
Issues with black mould at the property. Stench of mould when we arrived, back door left open clearly to try and get rid of the smell by airing the place. Told repeatedly no one ever reported it before and the owner stayed last week - very patronising and not dealt with adequately. We had to spend as much time as possible out of the house as it was affecting our breathing if there for too long. No offer of compensation against the £970 cost despite the issues - just an offer of money off a future stay - pointless offer as would not use them again. Also plates/ cutlery were dirty and had to wa...more
Very nicely located and spacious house but the rear garden was overgrown, the lawn needed mowing and we’d have appreciated better bed linen . The quirky bedroom furniture wasn’t very practical for storing clothes either .
Nice enough house, v toasty, can walk into town. However we had cesspit works going while we were there that we weren't told about which was inconvenient for parking and smell issues. More importantly for our holiday with young children we booked this place to have a secure garden for kids to play in. However as workmen were in and out all the time sad game was open kids couldn't play safely outside. It should also be noted there is minimal sight of the garden from the house, despite whats implied by the photos so not v kid friendly at all. Cleanliness was also an issue as there was 1 dish ...more
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
A fantastic location for accessing a lovely part of Kent. Clean comfortable cottage ideal for 4 guests with a real feeling of privacy and seclusion set in a beautiful garden with rear views to a meadow .
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 liked this old house with its quirky layout and it was handy for all amenities. There was building work going on opposite, which we were pre-warned about. This was a bit disruptive at times, but didn't spoil our stay too much. The house and kitchen was well fitted out generally, but there was a shortage of bedroom storage. There were a few little things that hadn't been fixed eg a broken hook in the main bathroom and missing toothpaste holder, plus the toilet roll holder in the upper bathroom. The living area was comfortable and homely. We also liked the eclectic trappings and pictures sca...more
Great location but this place is tiny. Set up for a family of four (4 beds) but there isn't even enough room for 4 people to sit around a table for breakfast. And the kitchen area is also tiny and quite impractical. Probs work well for a couple, but we struggled as a family of four (and we are all pretty small!) for four days.
We had a very enjoyable stay in Honeysuckle Cottage. It is very centrally located in the town, is very quiet and clean and well provisioned. I would highly recommend this cottage.
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.
