Since the company was founded in 2013, Camilla and the team have been passionate about maintaining that personal touch. Today, we have a fantastic local team of staff with an in-depth knowledge of the area and of all our holiday cottages. We continue to grow year on year thanks to increasing demand for UK holidays and our very loyal customers. Keepers Cottages operate throughout Kent, the beautiful ‘Garden of England’. From the classic seaside towns of Deal, Kingsdown and Whitstable, through rolling green countryside and the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, there really is so much to see and do in the wonderful county.

Oldestairs House is a much loved family coastal home built in 1910, located in Kingsdown, a beautiful and still undiscovered village in the corner of England at the end of the White Cliffs of Dover, near Deal and just over an hour from London. The house sleeps ten guests comfortably in five bedrooms. The home has been fully redecorated recently with colours to match the seaside location. Enjoy spending quality time together in the sociable living space, head outside to the large garden or take a short minutes' walk to the beach for a stroll or a swim. This stylish home is perfect for multigenerational families or groups of friends. The house suits family guests as our neighbours are dear friends so is not suitable for parties. Pets are not allowed.

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.
