    Location was amazing as were the facilities in the house and garden. There is lots of space in the house to accommodate adults and children without ever feeling everyone is on top of each other. The proximity to the beach is great and the fact...

    The house is really spacious. The living area easily accommodated our party of ten. The kitchen was really well equipped and the bedrooms a good size and it was beautifully decorated throughout. The trampoline in the garden was a particular hit....

Neighborhood info

Kingsdown is a charming, seaside village nestled between St Margaret’s at Cliff and Walmer with parts of the village built along the shingle shoreline, some on the high cliffs and others slightly inland. With its characterful beach huts, it’s the perfect spot to watch the sun rise over the English Channel or to enjoy a late afternoon bbq on the beach. There is a flat, safe cycle/footpath that is perfect for young families with buggies and older children that like to scoot and cycle. This path leads from the Zetland Arms to Deal. This is a great route to follow as it hugs the back of the beach with its abundance of shore plants and takes you past both Walmer Castle & Gardens and Deal Castle, both belonging to English Heritage. Kingsdown Beach is a favourite with kayakers who like to launch from Oldstairs Bay at the south end of the beach. It is possible to follow a footpath alongside the former Royal Marines rifle range at the base of the cliffs where wild orchids grow. At low tide, areas of sand and chalk rocks are revealed which children love to explore. The village offers a post office, a newsagent and a very good butcher as well as two other pubs the Rising Sun and the Kings Head. There is a good bus service to the centre of Deal or travel towards Dover for a day out. The closest train station is at Martin Mill or Walmer with a fast train connection to London St Pancras. the medieval cinque port town of Sandwich and Thanet with its sandy bays can be reached by train too.
