Family Trip away

The property is very spacious and bright. The kitchen was an amazing social space. The location, is peaceful with the sea views and private road. We all had a really lovely time and felt comfortable throughout.

Remarkable house on the seafront

A wonderful house dating from 1905 with lots of original features in combination with a superb kitchen made this stay more than pleasant. The vicinity to the beach and a well kept garden added to a remarkable holiday. Recommended!!

Great for Golfers (and families)

Downsview is a lovely property which was an ideal base for our golf trip to Kent. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Great location on the beach front and a 10 minute walk to the Zetland Arms. Very clean and homely - the kitchen is great for getting together as a group. Quiet with stunning views. Can highly recommend!

Third time at Downsview

The house is practically thoughtfully and generously provided to all guests. The beds are particularly comfortable and the downstairs shower is lovely! There is very very ample living space plus the garden and of course the amazing access to the beach just a moment away. The kitchen is as yours would be at home if you are something of a cook, you will enjoy it. everything works and everything is of a high standard, it feels a bit like going home because you can be comfortable within a few minutes. The only change we would recommend is that the owners consider installing a second shower upstairs, there is a very nice bathroom and separately Loo Upstairs, but a shower would be marvellous. Thank you very much see you again.

Great stay - fab location and amazing kitchen!

We had a great holiday with several members of the family including my elderly mother. She was able to use the downstairs bedroom, bathroom and shower room as she has limited mobility. The location was great for the beach and a swim in the sea! It was also close to the start of the Walmer and Deal Parkrun so we were able to participate in that too. There are some lovely pubs around as well as interesting shops in town. The house was great and it has been modernised well. The kitchen was a lovely space with a view to the sea and garden, it has a large island unit and great table for family meals. It was well equipped and fun to use when cooking together.

Fantastic setting

Downsview is a perfect house for a family holiday. The house is deceptively spacious with lots of places to sit and relax. It’s stylish and although the new kitchen was lovely, retains many original features. I would say the photos do not do the house justice. The two downstair bedrooms were perfect for the grandparents. We loved the upstairs veranda, fantastic just to sit and be! Obviously, being so close to the sea was brilliant and we swam every day. I have booked with Keepers Cottages before and continue to be impressed by the service provided. They are now my go to company for booking Deal and it’s surrounding areas.

Idyllic seafront dream house

We had a blissful stay at Downsview with our 7month old twins and our miniature dachshund. The house, a delightful Edwardian seaside villa with an air of Poirot, is complimented by a dreamy modern open plan kitchen/living space with disco ball and surround sound and a perfect secure wrap round garden. You can lounge on the sofa and look at the sea or turn on your music make the most of the wine fridge and have an epic kitchen disco. The house is seconds from the dog friendly part of the beach and on a private road making it both beautiful and peaceful and safe for families. My only reservation in recommending it is that even more people will want to stay! We will be back next year.

Stunning view of the sea

We enjoyed our stay at Downsview particularly the beautiful location. Stunning sea view in front of the house and lovely walks to Walmer and Deal along the coast. The house has a fabulous well equipped modern kitchen which opens out into the lovely garden. The stairs up to the top floor are quite awkward for those with mobility issues but there is a lovely room to sit and admire the sea view off of one of the main bedrooms. Apart from the modern kitchen, the rest of the house is styled to suit the age of the house which has been done very well. Very spacious house with lots of rooms.

Wonderful house!

We were so pleased when we arrived at Downsveiw, , lovely traditional rooms with antique furnishings apart from the spectacular kitchen which had everything we needed and where we spent most of our time. Barbecue was spotless too and we also loved the window seat.

Family beach holiday

Have just spent a week in the sun and wind at Downsview . Perfect location, pretty garden. The kitchen at Downsview was amazing—- obviously fairly newly updated. , as was the downstairs bedroom onto the garden . The upstairs bedrooms need updating now and the bathroom and then it will be an amazing house for family holidays .

Gorgeous house

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The bedrooms and bathroom downstairs enabled me to bring my elderly Dad who lived locally for many many years. The house is so well equipped and comfortable and the location is to die for. I only wish we could have stayed longer
