Seaside Escape
A beautiful property in an excellent location. The decor is quirky and sophisticated, the open plan living area was both modern and to me, evocative of 1930s American Rhode Island!
Comfortable beds with pillows to sink into, and lovely pure cotton bed linens. The bathrooms were well equipped and the attention to detail throughout was very high

Amazing property for 30th birthday celebrations
We enjoyed our stay at Downs Cottage so much. The rooms are so spacious, the beds super comfortable and the location was just incredible. Waking up to a sea view every day was such a treat. Thank you for having us.

Never seen a holiday cottage quite like it
Downs Cottage is absolutely stunning. Never stayed in a place quite so whimsically decorated (never thought I would be taking a bath with a lioness keeping guard) while at the same time fitted out to a very high standard (taking away loads of ideas for our own kitchen reno!)
You can tell it’s a much loved holiday home for the owners which is charming but can sometimes feel a bit like you are intruding on someone’s private space.
Kingsdown is a wonderful village with a fantastic pub and great views while being in east walking distance of Walmer and Deal with a lot more amenities.
Service by both Keepers Cottage and the housekeeper was very efficient and responsive. One suggestion would be to include a welcome package for guests. It’s a simple touch but one that adds to a feeling of being welcomed.
We are a group of 8 ladies enjoying a weekend away and we had a wonderful weekend at Downs Cottage. The property was perfect… comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, beautiful decor, superb location, sauna was a bonus and the garden was very pretty. Deal itself was a very welcoming town, friendly people. We’d recommend Margarita’s for take away pizza and Mike’s Bikes for cycle hire. Walking distance into Deal from the cottage was about 30mins, which along the seafront was no time at all. We would all definitely return with our families.
