This delightful flat is ideally located and made for a perfect autumn break. We hope to return soon.
Great location with an easy walk to central Deal with its range of shops and eateries. Also an easy walk to the beach. The house itself is very well equipped with everything needed for a very comfortable stay, plus it is very roomy, with a lovely courtyard garden. We do hope to stay again!
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 were a group of 6 friends staying for 3 nights over New Year. The house sits on the cliffs in the grounds of the owner’s property but is completely private. The grounds are spacious and very well landscaped, with a decommissioned lighthouse and incredible views. We had very sunny weather when we were there and the sunsets were stunning. We also enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. The house itself is very stylish and there was no expense spared in the detail. Really lovely. 3 double bedrooms with comfortable beds but only one with an en-suite and shower (ground floor). Shared family bathroom up...more
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.
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
Lovely! Easy walking distance to promenande, shops, restaurants & pubs. Ideal for our family get together. Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Would recommend and visit again.
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!
Wir (Familie mit zwei großen Kindern) haben den Aufenthalt in dem schönen Cottage sehr genossen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr gepflegt und geschmackvoll. Die Umgebung ist sehr ruhig. Herzlichen Dank!
A delightful and restful holiday cottage with spectacular views and extremely welcoming and helpful owners.
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 comfortable, well located for centre of town. We had a lovely stay there and wish it could have been longer.
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
Clean, comfortable, cosy. Location is excellent. Reasonable rental. Long term 24 hour parking in Sainsburys ( book thru Just Park) is handy just a couple of minutes walk away. Street parking can be challenging, but perfectly possible.
Lovely cottage, 5 minutes from sea and town. Good parking. Everything you need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
Thank you Keeper Cottages for our delightful stay, especially the advance message to allow us an earlier arrival time.
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.
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
I have stayed at this property four times now - it is so homely, nicely decorated, has great tranquil energy, and an amazing view over the sea. I would happily live here or have it as a second home! Being so close to the high street and two large supermarkets is also super handy. It is a great option for solo visitors and couples.
We had the most wonderful and relaxing stay what a beautiful cottage. Everything you could wish for , comfy bed , fabulous bathroom , loved the Jack and Jill loo upstairs. The kitchen downstairs with French doors looking out on to the courtyard, enjoying our breakfast each morning. Great location, stones throw from the sea, coffee houses and trendy shops, a real village feel. We have rented a few times with Keppers Cottages and they never disappoint. We will definitely return.
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.
Very well styled. Very tasteful and complete. Well equiped. Surpisingly roomy for the amount of square meters. we enjoyed it very much.
Excellent stay with first class service from the team at Keepers Cottages thank you for all your professionalism
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
Our second stay at Villa Vita. Lovely comfortable house, clean and well equipped, close to the town centre, station, beach and restaurants. We would definitely recommend.
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!
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
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.
Very good experience. The house is in an excellent location and furnished to a high standard. Size was very good - there was 7 of us. Decent wine glasses too!
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.
What a weekend we all had celebrating a 60th birthday with friends and family. We stayed at the Sycamores house in Staple, Canterbury . A beautiful 5 bedroom house that sleeps 9 with a garden the size of a small park. We was lucky to have some dry weather for the children to play out in the playhouse, slide and swings. The children enjoyed the playroom , bikes and games in the shed. The kitchen and conservatory was the main vocal point for everyone to catch up with lots of eating and drinking as it was so spacious amd plenty of areas for people to sit down and rest there feet The design o...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.
Meadow View is a lovely modern home, set on the edge of a quiet village. It’s about an 8 minute drive to Deal seafront. The house is well equipped and comfortable for 6 people. Having driveway parking is a bonus too. The real highlight though is the very large garden, with decking and seating at the end and views across the countryside to the sea. We enjoyed sitting out there in the afternoons. We had an issue with the showers in the house. Both had temperamental heat, but we’ve let Keepers Cottages know, so hopefully they will be fixed for next guests. Overall I’d highly recommend this ...more
A great cottage in a good space and place. Well equipped but sadly dated. Nice outside garden space with very welcome parking. Our second visit however it is on the market so we be are unlikely to book again.
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.
Everything was excellent; decor, cleanliness, comfort, location and helpfulness. We stayed with my son and girlfriend. We watched a Netflix movie in the cosy nook, played a board game in the main room, eat a lovely breakfast; eggs, bread jam and honey arranged by the owners in advance. We saw owls at night and woke to beautiful fields all around in the morning. Highly recommend.
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!
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.
Dexters House is ideally situated for both Deal beach and Deal High Street. It comfortably accommodates 6 people in the 3 bedrooms, relaxing in the lounge and eating at the dining table. It is clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. This is our 2nd stay at Dexters House and we hope to return next year. It feels very homely and we love it.
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.
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!
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!
We´ve enjoyed the cottage from the minute we walked in. A comfortable, clean, modern home for a perfect vacation. The back yard was stunning, we loved spending time there. Whitstable is such a cute and charming town, we will certanly return! The only issue, which we knew of before booking, was the parking situation. We took care of that problem in advance as we booked a private parking space for the whole week in the neighborhood. We absolutely loved the Starboard Light! Roger, Jennifer and Stella the Dog from Germany
Great cottage in a perfect location. Has everything needed for a comfortable holiday. Kitchen is very small but it didn’t detract from the overall comfort and we managed to cook 3 evenings. Would recommend
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!
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
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.
Lovely Cottage in a great location - everywhere in walking distance. Took the 82 bus to Dover Castle (it stops outside). Excellent visit full of history. More tourist information leaflets on site would be good. Made good use of the outside courtyard space for eating out (serenaded by sparrows!). Very comfortable bed and seating (although the sofa was a bit deep for my short legs!). The spiral staircase was fine for us fit and active 70 year olds but might be a challenge for the less fit. Well equipped kitchen.
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.
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
Enjoyed our stay at this property. Very spacious and well equipped. Real Christmas tree plus welcome goodies (mince pies and shortbread and granola) were a nice festive touch. Easy walk to the thriving town centre with lots of individual shops and restaurants. Enjoyed walks to Sandwich and Betteshanger Country Park. Agree with others, the many stairs could prove difficult for some, especially when carrying luggage. We would stay again.
We were a family of 7 adults and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was huge with room for everyone, although most of the time was spent in the conservatory, the grey living room with the open fire and the dining area. The kitchen was very well equipped. The garden was huge and was enclosed so the dog could be let out without worry. There were 2 parking spaces on the private lane, one more spacious than the other but everything worked fine for us. All in all a great stay and we are already planning on when to come back.
Penshurst House was amazing, offering everything one needs for a week away, including great self-catering facilities. The house was tastefully decorated, warm and cosy (we were staying over New Year and it was a cold one!), quiet yet only a step away from Deal's main high street and the local shops and seaside. We loved decamping to the downstairs TV room in the evenings after a day's exploring.
Fantastic cottage, modern and beautifully decorated. Very spacious and extremely warm and cosy. We arrived to find a fabulous welcome gift of fizz and delicious biscuits. The cottage is stunningly furnished with all you need and more. We had an amazing stay over new year 25/26 and enjoyed some great walks around the surrounding areas and enjoyed some great meals in the town in the various pubs and restaurants. There are also some fabulous shops to explore. We would highly recommend a stay at middle cottage and will definitely return, it’s a great base to explore Sandwich and surrounding t...more
Bowden Lodge is a great property for a group booking. It was rather tricky to find with the instructions provided, it might be a good idea to provide additionally what3words location finder. The beds were comfortable and the living space is exceptional. The aga was not on / working but there is a second kitchen that you can cook in, it's just less social cooking. The property could also benefit from more shoe space / coat rails. A boot room would be ideal. Was great to have a games room and the kids could be desperate from the adults. We enjoyed games time all together though,a lot o...more
Our family had a lovely holiday at The George. Just a few minutes walk to the beach, perfect for going for a quick dip in the sea. Great living space for the family with a well equipped kitchen. Really like the seclusion from the road and the drive with lots of parking space. Our dog Rosie enjoyed lying out on the patio. Would happily stay here again.
A well appointed and comfortable holiday home, conveniently placed for Sandwich and its surrounding countryside and seaside resorts. Well worth a stay!! The perfect place for a family get-together.
Excellent absolutely spot on clean. Plenty of additional creature comforts. 2 bathrooms for 4 people is a luxury u dont get often in a holiday let. Great outside seating space. Close to the town. Great relaxing areas inside.
Great house in a good location - only a 5 minute walk to the sea and pubs that we loved. It was very clean and everything was easy to find. It was well stocked - we were there for Christmas and there were enough baking trays, plates, glasses etc. The sitting room was a little cosy for 5 adults but there is a second tv room upstairs which we also used. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Michaelmas cottage and Keepers Cottages.
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.
We stayed in Ollerton last weekend — six of us plus our dog — and had a fantastic time. The house was extremely spacious, offering four large bedrooms. The main bedroom was especially beautiful and included its own en-suite. The kitchen was well equipped with a large fridge, a good oven, and plenty of quality crockery, cutlery, and utensils. Both lounges were very comfortable, and the small garden was secure, giving our dog a safe place to play. The location was excellent: just a 2-minute walk to the seaside and around 5 minutes to the market and local shops. Highly recommended!
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!
We had a very enjoyable break in this well appointed town house. It was very clean and comfortable, although coming from a ground floor flat our knees did feel the stairs! It’s in a great location for the beach and high street, not to mention the nearby park for quick dog walks. Arriving and leaving in the rain was easy due to the linked undercover garage. Overall highly recommended.
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.
What a perfect cottage for celebrating my wife's birthday! We had a wonderful time with old friends and family in this cosy and welcoming home. The house had everything we needed, plenty of utensils and thoughtfully equipped throughout. Everything was spotlessly tidy and the booking process was incredibly smooth and helpful. Couldn't have asked for a better place for special memories together. Highly recommended!
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.
House and garden are absolutely spectacular. The neighborhood is charming and within walking distance to the seaside. The house was decorated for Christmas which was a lovely surprise and the gas fireplace was a treat for cosy nights in. 10/10! I would absolutely stay here again.
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.
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.
A really lovely cottage, especially for the cold winter months, because it is so snug. The whole cottage is comfortably warm in a minute. Great little wood burner. The kitchen and small dining room are sooo cosy. Okay, you probably will bump your head a few times. The courtyard is (as to be expected) very tiny and shared with two wheelie bins.. But: Rogues cottage is a gem! You will not want to leave the cottage for too long. Never mind, just an evening stroll through all the lovely narrow neighbouring streets. And the real treat of course: the sea, at arm length for a morning walk. Oh, and ...more
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 arrived at The Corner House in Deal at around 5pm, and couldn't open the key keeper. I rang through emergency contact number, and apparently the code had not been updated. It wasn't the best start, as itwas raining heavily, but the contact answered, and quickly helped us gain entry. The cottage is lovely, very comfortable, and situated very close to the beach, the town, and two pubs. The Corner House was very clean, apart from the floor, which was quite dirty. Maybe it had just been forgotten. There were some nice things left for us in a welcome pack, which was really unexpecte...more
The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was compact but perfectly formed! We went to some fabulous restaurants within walking distance of the cottage, and really enjoyed Deal and the surrounding area.
An ideal base for travellers without a car. Close to station and town centre and beach. We hope to use the house again.
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.
Our two-night stay at this Preston property proved to be a wonderfully relaxing retreat. The village's peaceful atmosphere immediately set a welcoming tone, and we appreciated the tranquil surroundings throughout our visit. A short walk from the accommodation brings you to St Mildred's Church, which provided the perfect setting for enjoyable dog walks during our stay. The countryside surrounding the church is beautiful and genuinely rewarding to explore with your canine companion. The owners have clearly thought carefully about their guests' comfort. Upon arrival, we were delighted to fi...more
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.
We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Downsview,what a wonderful beachside cottage.the house is spacious and comfortable with amazing views across the beach and the channel.the large family room/kitchen was perfect for our family visit and we were provided with everything we could need for a comfortable stay. The beds were so comfortable but our favourite spot was the glass balcony looking out across the channel. We ate at both local pubs,The Zetland Arms and The Rising Sun,the food was great at both venues and I thoroughly recommend them, breakfasts at The Goose on the Green and The ...more
Great little cottage. Nice and warm in what was very cold weather. Comfortable beds.great bathroom. We were two adults for 4 nights and 4 for 3 nights. It felt a bit tight for 4 of us. Great position just 300m from harbor and lively high street.
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.
Clearer direction signs needed-easy to get lost if gate open Flag steep drop into bathroom with notice on wall & consider reducing height Doorknob on downstairs loo broken Better cleaning in bedrooms
We had a party of 12, 8 in the main farmhouse, 4 in the barn. Stunning weather all week so every meal outside, great with 7 kids under12! Stayed with smaller group 2 years ago just in farmhouse, but the combined gardens/lawns of both properties were a huge asset for outside activities. Peaceful location just on edge of Sandwich perfect for beach, town and beyond. Virtually everything expected in the properties was there, and communication with Keepers very efficient. We will return! (Nb; recycling etc a bit complicated, not helped by some misting bins….)
1. The access to the flat needs better description and signage 2. The heating in the flat has been upgraded and needs description in the flat's notes. Otherwise the flat is great and we really enjoyed ourselves in Deal!
1 The tv is complicated to operate. Why not a tv with simple access to the main channels. 2 Shampoo in the bath room and kitchen roll in the kitchen would be useful. 3 The main living area would benefit from some carpeting or rugs. These are intended to be constructive suggestions, we hope to book again.
Gorgeous house, great location, fab hosts. We will be back! Loved it! From 2 very fulfilled families of 4 x
Great location, quiet but very close to town centre and an easy walk to the beach. House was very well equipped, garden was a lovely sun trap, beds were very comfortable, good communal kitchen. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay as seven adults and a dog, would stay again!
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
We stayed at Reed Loft for a week in August. Overall it's a great property with the added bonus of your own Swimming Pool and Sauna. Its much bigger than the photos show especially on the 1st floor! It's well maintained and the kitchen is equipped with everything needed for a relaxing holiday. We stayed during a heatwave which was great but the upper floor was uncomfortably hot even with the floor fans going. The road to the property is mainly single track which was quiet most days but needed care when encountering oncoming cars/tractors etc.
Perfect place to enjoy the lovely town of Deal! Property was well equipped and with a cosy feel ideal for Christmas.
From our very first contact with Keepers Cottages, until we had to delay our departure time because of a trip to 'urgent care', everything was perfect. Our booking for Malvern House in Deal was handled very efficiently and promptly. We received all the information we needed plus emailed helpful hints and local information to ensure a trouble free stay. The house itself was ideal for our family group which included two young children and a puppy. Arriving to see a lit up Christmas tree and local goodies in the kitchen, was an added bonus. The house was maintained to a high standard and equipped...more
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.
It really is an old fisherman’s cottage! The stairs will be our lasting memory we’re definitely fitter than when we arrived . Lovely period features from a bygone age. The cottage is very well appointed and comfortable; the gas fire was perfect for drying coats during a drizzly few days. That wasn’t a negative we loved the town and how dog-friendly it is. Overall, excellent value and a great, central base for exploring the area.
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
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 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.
Lovely house, very roomy Very well equipped kitchen Great to have 2 tv rooms Very good bathrooms and showers not so good Arrived to not a single sheet of toilet paper in the entire house Bin in one of the bathrooms hadn't been emptied With the exception of the downstairs shower room,there's a complete lack of hooks/pegs in all the rooms for towels/dressing gowns etc (also none of the bedroom doors actually close shut properly so if you have dogs/kids they can get into any room simply by pushing!) Also none of the bedrooms had litter bins which is slightly annoying Finally, be awar...more
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 was our second visit to Rumbosun. The cottage is lovely, well appointed and great location near the beach. The rooms are comfortable, light and airy. There is a great enclosed garden which was ideal for the dog, which back gate access, so that they we didn't have to come back through the house. It is very peaceful here as there isn't a lot of noise, even with renovation work across the road. Being able to park at the back of the house was very useful too. There a couple of minor things which require addressing in the house as it is old, the main issue being the living room sofas as th...more
The property was warm and cosy, kitchen equipment was disappointing. The house could do with some TLC
The house had very good accommodation and the location was excellent. The condition of the house was disappointing, the stairs and landing carpet was dirty and stained and in two of the bedrooms one of the secondary glazing panels was missing allowing a cold draft to intrude. The staff at Keepers Cottages were excellent.
Short walk to beautiful quiet beach. Nice relaxing living space and well kept garden. Would stay again
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.
We had a very enjoyable week at Peace Cottage. Great location and a comfortable cottage. I would make a couple of small observations/criticisms: -The parking restrictions were a little inconvenient but this was made clear in the booking instructions, so it wasn’t unexpected. -A single loo and bathroom in a house sleeping six is a bit of a stretch. -The quality of the pillows and duvets was pretty poor. I would have expected these to have been better. But these are minor comments in what was an enjoyable stay.
Little Chart is a lovely old cottage full of character. It's beautifully furnished and very well equipped. However it would help if the "House Manual" was left in an obvious place - it was hidden behind some bottles in the kitchen. We did not find the deep freeze (in the summerhouse/shed in the garden) until after our shopping had been delivered and the few frozen things we had ordered were returned because we thought we had nowhere to keep them! It would help if the location of the freezer was specified in the details. It was literally a 2 minute walk to the beach through a lovely little ...more
Curious Cottage is a really cute property located in the historic part of Deal. We loved the location and the accommodation, it was perfect for two adults and a dog. It's fully equipped and we liked the court yard area which was a great corner to relax on a sunny afternoon. Having a parking space was also a bonus as they are hard to come by in this town.
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
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.
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
Brunswick is a lovely house 10 minutes walk to the seafront. We had a great stay over Christmas. When we arrived it had been decorated for us which gave it a home from home vibe. The house is spacious and the perfect size for 5 adults. The kitchen was amazing plenty of space and modern facilities We had no problem cooking our Christmas dinner there. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that it needs to have a shower attachment above the bath so people have the choice of a bath or shower and because of the size of the property it was difficult keeping it warm.
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.
Nice cottage in a really great location - near High St, Recreation Ground, 2 mins to a friendly pub - The Alma, less than 5 mins to West St Long stay car park, 10/15 min to seafront The welcome pack provided was a nice touch - oatly milk sachets, granola, biscuits, tea The cottage is 3 storeyed with wooden floors on top levels and tiled kitchen. The stairs are uncarpeted. The kitchen is well equipped with a small table top style fridge/freezer. Really good comfy beds with plenty of pillows We felt the sitting room seating could be improved. The 1 1/2 person love seat was ok but the o...more
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
Well located. Comfortable and cosy. Disappointed that WiFi was not working. Lack of instructions re dongle meant that a long time was spent trying to work it out and then it was very sketchy. Lack of instructions re central heating.
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 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
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 .
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.
The house was in a lovely location, although due to this, there is a constant stream of cars driving past it to/from the beach/pub next door - so not exactly peaceful. The renovation/conversion of the house to it's current state appears to have been done really well and it incorporates some really nice design features, however, it feels like the house hasn't been maintained very well since then: leaks in the kitchen & downstairs bathroom, a rotten front door, a ripped doormat sellotaped together, taps coming loose and a window that can't be opened in the main bathroom (no curtain in there ...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
Loved Honeysuckle cottage ,cosy with a great location ,garden was nice to sit in and would definitely book this cottage again .
