Rejuvenate with panoramic sea views every day at this beachfront hideout perched along one of Sandgate’s most sought-after private roads. Boasting direct access to a quiet and secluded stretch of beach, and yet just a 4-minute drive (or thirty-three minutes on foot) from the bustling seaside town of Folkestone, it’s hard to imagine a better location. Wake up with invigorating strolls along the nearby coastal paths. Rustle up a picnic for the beach, or head into Sandgate for a dose of seaside nostalgia with fish and chips and lashings of ice cream. When it’s time for a spot of shopping and culture, mosey along to the cobbled streets of Folkstone, where you’ll find bustling restaurants, gastropubs, and the thriving artist quarter. Back at home, maritime curiosities bring coastal charm, while a dramatic mural painted by Kent artist Oliver Trowell brings drama and a dash of colour to the space. After busy days exploring the Kent coast, soak weary legs in the Jacuzzi bathtub. Then pad out onto the south-easterly facing terrace, fire up the barbecue and nestle down in the charming pergola. It’s your front-row seat to watch the glowing setting sun.

Nice to haves

Two of the things that the Kent town of Deal is most famous for is its castle and stretch of pebbly coastline. As it happens, both of these things are visible through the big bay window in the lounge of this apartment. Back inside, the decor is simple, but every aspect has been executed so well. Wooden floorboards and white walls provide a classy backdrop against which colourful furnishings and photographic artwork pop off. The kitchen is pretty large considering the address is only for two, so you'll be able to flex your culinary muscles with no trouble. The presence of a bathtub is also sure to be appreciated after a long day frolicking about on the beach, which sits at the end of the street. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance, too.

Get your fill of fresh coastal air at this welcoming cottage in Deal. An idyllic seaside getaway, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. From its wood floors to its cosy fireplaces and contemporary decor, it’s all set to invite you into its warm and comfortable embrace. The farmhouse-style kitchen is where you’ll want to begin your days over hearty breakfasts and hot cups of coffee before catching some rays in the courtyard garden. Then grab your swimming costume and towel for an afternoon at Deal’s pebble beach (a four-minute walk away) or soak up some history at Deal Castle (also four minutes away on foot). Mosey around Deal High Street’s eclectic blend of shops (eight minutes) and take a day to visit Margate, a thirty-minute drive away. After whiling away your hours soaking up the sea air, come back home for sunset drinks in the garden. Then finish the night off with a relaxing soak in the freeform tub before retreating to your bedrooms for a blissful night’s sleep.

Go off gird for a while beside the sweeping coastal banks of the desirable Granville Cliff Estate in Seasalter - the location of this contemporary, airy home. The estate's private beach, just a minute’s walk from the property, takes centre stage here. Grab the home's paddleboard and two-person kayak and head for the sea, or try beachcombing for seashells - the coast goes on for miles. And you can always pop back to rustle up a picnic when tummies start to rumble or stroll along to the acclaimed Sportsman pub to feast on oysters. Back at the sea-facing chalet bungalow, an effortlessly stylish home awaits. Expect vintage mid-century furniture, unique artwork, and a modern kitchen made for action. Ideal for groups of friends and family coming together, you’ll love how spread out the home feels. The self-contained apartment upstairs with a separate kitchen will be a bonus for anyone looking for that extra bit of privacy. And there’s plenty to keep the kids entertained in the surprisingly spacious garden, with a trampoline & football goal. When you can finally bear to part from the private beach, central Whitstable is just a five-minute drive away (or thirty minutes on foot). Just be sure to make it back home as the sun sets over Whitstable – it’s quite the show.

Positioned directly on Dungeness's public beach, this former foghorn testing station has been fully renovated into a unique getaway for two. The nearby lighthouse's foghorn still works, although we much prefer the idea of waking up to the sound of the waves and seagulls. The sea is literally on your doorstep, and huge glass doors and a small terrace maximise the idyllic views. It's more of a studio than a one-bed, but we like the single-level layout. Although phone signal is patchy here and there's no proper TV, there is wi-fi for remote working and streaming. That said, the Bose speaker system, wood burner and teak bathtub are all you need to truly unwind.

This little gem makes for a stylish coastal escape in the town of Hythe - an Old English word meaning 'haven'. You'll be a walk from Hythe Beach, with golf, pubs, and plenty of food options. The home is fresh, bright, and modern. Curl up on plush sofas and chairs in front of the log burner with a film or board game. The kitchen is super sleek and the dining space is the best spot to gather and relax while preparing food or drinks. Lofty glass doors that lead out to the garden, where one can catch the early sun with a morning coffee. For unwinding indoors, the freestanding bathtub is an elegant touch. However you spend your days, this home will be your haven.

Desk / Workplace

Taking up the two floors of a Victorian townhouse, this home has a lovely view of Deal Castle out through the window. Inside, there's plenty to hold your attention, too. The white walls and wooden floorboards work very well with the ample amounts of natural light that come in through the windows on either side of the long, open living space. There's a charming collection of nautical-themed pieces of artwork and trinkets dotted about the space, as well as a pair of bathtubs that are sure to tempt you upon coming back through the front door after a long day exploring this quaint seaside town. The pier is eight minutes' walk along the pebbly beach and you'll spot some of the wide array of restaurants and pubs that Deal has to offer along the way.

The Fossil Collector

Private Washing Machine

Set at the foot of the Dungeness roundhouse, this former lighthouse keeper’s cottage makes for the ultimate escape from the city. There are unspoilt views of the rugged landscape, and several nearby coastal paths to explore on foot, with plenty of local pubs en-route. Spend sunny days on the terrace embracing the peace, while the cooler months can be equally enjoyable keeping cosy in the cottage with the two wood burners. Only a ten-minute drive from Rye, you’ll find plenty of restaurants and boutiques for when you’re craving a bit of hustle and bustle. 


The East Keeper's Cottage

Stepping into this cottage immediately makes you feel at home. Exposed wooden beams, soft neutral colours, and cosy furniture give this home an easygoing but cheerful feel. When you enter the ground floor, you'll find the warm living room with an impressive book collection. Pick one out for the trip, perfect for curling up on the sofa or when you're catching some rays on the beach, which is just a seven-minute walk away. The French doors open up to a Juliet balcony, inviting in a beautiful natural light. Breakfasts around the dining table are particularly lovely as the morning light glows over you, not to mention the beautiful garden view you have. 

Steps take you down to the lower ground floor, where you have a twee and colourful kitchen. The patio doors lead out to the enchanting garden, covered in bright foliage. In the warmer months, or whenever if you wrap up warm, the garden is a beautiful place to enjoy meals, drinks, or simply just to sit and enjoy the peace. Despite being just a three-minute walk away from Deal High Street, this home is away from the hustle and bustle and remarkably quiet. Ideal for a quaint seaside getaway. And you're mere steps away from the French deli, perfect for picking up indulgent breakfasts. When it comes to dinnertime, Deal has an array of local and international restaurants right on your doorstep. Or, fire up the barbecue at home for a relaxed evening in.

This former fisherman's cottage has been given a new lease of life as a charming holiday home. Best suited to a couple and up to three kids, it's the perfect place to begin your adventures in the wonderful town of Whitstable. 

Step inside, and you'll feel instantly at home thanks to the cosy furnishings and warm colour scheme. There are quirky details dotted throughout the house – look out for the sweet octopus sketch, patterned tiles, and carefully curated antique pieces. On chilly evenings, you can light up the wood-burner and enjoy a home-cooked dinner of local seafood. Or, when the sun shines, head out to the courtyard and fire up the barbeque for a delicious grilled feast. 

From here, Whitstable Beach is just a five-minute stroll away, where you can paddle in the water and soak up the Kentish sunshine. There are plenty of quaint pubs and tasty restaurants to try – make sure you don't leave without tasting the town's delicacy, fresh oysters. And, if you fancy doing something a bit different, head to the Wildart Trail, a woodland walk adorned with sculptures – it's a fourteen-minute drive away.

As refined and attractive a home as you're likely to see, this single-storey apartment is a wing of a Grade II Gothic mansion. But what makes it truly unique is that it faces the ruins of an ancient Franciscan abbey that's of such historical importance it's been granted Scheduled Monument status. Set in the home's grounds, the abbey dates from 1285 and it's quite a sight to wake up to each morning.

Inside, the home is beautifully detailed, with character features like a meticulously restored original fireplace with log burner in the living room, Gothic plasterwork, ornate cornice to the high ceilings and stone mullion windows. Decorated in a classical country residence style, there's a Chesterfield to lounge upon, a vintage dining table and chairs, and an antique writing table. But it also boasts some tasteful modern touches, like the emperor-size bed with a cashmere and wool mattress and 800 thread count linen in the master bedroom, the stylish marble bathrooms, the cosy double bed and built-in bunkbed in the second bedroom. Comfortable and warm, it's a real home from home, with a well kitted-out kitchen (including a basket of local produce) and unbeatable views framed by tall windows.

With its own private and fully enclosed garden and a wood-fired hot tub, you'll no doubt be spending much of your time outdoors, and there's a table and chairs plus a barbecue for meals alfresco. But the village pub is only a short walk away and the charming medieval town of Rye, bursting with pubs, shops and restaurants, is just a few minutes by car. Explore Winchelsea’s cellar tours, 13th century church with stunning stained glass windows, farm shop, pub, and vineyard wine tours hosted by a neighbour of the home. Keen walkers can hike across the marshes, while beach lovers will be in their element – Winchelsea beach is just down the road, while both Rye Harbour and the famous dunes of Camber Sands are a short drive. You're also only two hours from London.

The Friar's Monument

In the buzzing seaside town of Whitsable, this charming cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Kent coast. There are two bathrooms here, making it the ideal home for a pair of couples or a small family, while the garden provides a sunny spot to get some fresh air while the kids blow off some steam. You’re welcome to bring your canine companion along, too, and there’s no need to worry about where to go with so many dog-friendly beaches and cafes close by. Did you know that Whitstable has a thriving arts scene? Creatives will appreciate the array of local art galleries and pubs featuring live music. 


The Artist's Abode

This blue bungalow is the perfect getaway for two, with high A-frame ceilings, sand-coloured wooden floors and bright living spaces. We'd describe the aesthetic as contemporary coastal – rattan lighting fixtures, leafy houseplants and plush furnishings bring a beachy bohemian air, while the sleek kitchen and crisp, clean lines are elegant and modern. After a long day on the coast, snuggle up in front of the electric fire for a cosy night at home. If you're in the mood to cook, the blue and yellow kitchen has everything you'll need, so let your culinary skills run wild. On sunny days, enjoy your feast in the garden, which is shielded from the main house by clever bamboo screens. There's even a desk in the bedroom if you need to do some remote working. But our favourite part is the location – you're just a fifteen-minute walk from Deal Castle Beach and the wonderful Kent coastline. Enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many seaside restaurants, shop the local boutiques, browse the many art galleries and enjoy a romp around Deal Castle. With the rest of the White Cliffs Country easily accessed by car, it's the ideal spot for a romantic retreat by the sea.

Three Wooden Boats

With so much to discover about the rich history and nature of Kent, it would make sense to base yourself in a somewhat historic setting. A twelve-minute walk from Martin Mill train station, in a tiny village of the same name, this home is not only ideal for history buffs, but anyone who is a fan of a tipple. Built in 1610, this traditional boozer hosts locals every evening, but can also play host to four guests in its private apartment. Above this working pub, pick up a pint of English ale to sample before making your way around this striking abode. You’ll find rich leather sofas, vintage upholstered armchairs, a gramophone, Persian rugs, and cabinets and shelves full of curios. A truly unique stay, this home really transports you back hundreds of years, steeped in British tradition and exactly the eclectic vibe you’d hope for. Finish your pint in the back garden, with its picnic benches and lush lawns, where you'll probably find yourself chatting to one of the regulars. If you fancy an escape from pub life, drive ten minutes to Dover – visit its medieval castle, or admire its iconic White Cliffs.

English Barleywine

Sea views and a hot tub — need we say more? This dog-friendly stone cottage was once part of the late comedian Spike Milligan’s home and, while it can be rented alongside the adjoining cottage for larger groups, we think it makes an ideal self-contained retreat. Both the airy open-plan living-dining area and the main bedroom open directly onto the garden, which features a barbecue for alfresco dining with a side of sea breeze. It's perfectly placed, too, with Rye, Camber Sands, and Hastings all within easy driving distance.

Rye Retreat

Shared Pool

Swimming Pool

Tennis Court

Nestled in the heart of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming cottage offers a peaceful getaway for two. It’s an annex to the owner’s home, so you’ll benefit from shared facilities including the gorgeous gardens, outdoor pool, and tennis court. There’s even a vegetable patch – the meals you rustle up in the cottage kitchen will be oh-so-fresh. You’ll also have a private garden just for the two of you, and when the weather turns chilly, you can curl up together around the wood-burning stove. 

Kent Gardens

Minutes from the sea, this stylish house is the perfect base for a family holiday in Whitstable. The seafront is lined with beachy cafés, seafood restaurants and good old fashioned fish and chip shops. Build sandcastles and paddle in the sea knowing it’s just a three-minute walk back to this home if you forget the sunscreen. The home itself is pristine white with cosy furnishings. The snug living room is set around a wood-burner and there’s an ample vinyl collection if you want to set the mood with the record player. There are board games a-plenty and books for all ages scattered across the bookshelves. The breakfasting kitchen is big and bright, with glass doors that fold back to reveal the cute back garden where a picnic bench is brightened by stringed lights at night. Our favourite thing about this place is the claw-footed tub, perfect for a bath after a day on the beach.

Ice Cream By The Sea

Let’s face it – it’s that ginormous indoor private pool and state-of-the-art Swedish sauna taking all the limelight at this barn conversion property, and rightly so. It’s a luxury few expect for a home nestled away in the quiet Kent countryside. In warmer months, slide the bifold doors right back to let the sunshine in and enjoy views of the pristinely manicured gardens beyond. You could easily while away the whole day – in fact, the entire week - padding between the pool, sauna, and outdoor sun loungers, with an occasional barbecue thrown in, to spice things up. And there are more welcome surprises inside this home too. The spacious light-filled lounge and dining area overlooks the swimming pool – handy for keeping an eye on poolside antics even when you’re indoors. And upstairs, there’s a secondary lounge with Juliet balcony doors revealing views of the gardens and distant rolling fields. With such vast countryside views, you could feel a million miles from anywhere here, but you’re not as remote as you first thought. The pretty neighbouring villages all have excellent pubs serving hearty food, and the bustling cathedral town of Canterbury is just over a twenty-minute drive away. And let’s not forget the coast - pack up a picnic, and you can be on the sweeping sandy shores of Folkestone in thirty minutes flat.

Pools of Blue

Looking for a British seaside stay? This might just be the ticket. Located just fifty yards from Camber Sands beach, this coastal home is perfect for beach-loving groups and families. Roll out of bed and enjoy a coffee in the private garden before walking the few steps to the beach. You can spend all day there, or you can hop in the car and visit coastal towns like Rye and Dungeness. In the evening, share a home-cooked meal in the large dining area, or pop back to the beach for some good old fish and chips.

Shell House

You’ll find this well-kept apartment in the heart of historic Rye, where cobbled lanes are flanked by medieval, half-timbered houses and hidden side streets give way to distant views across Rodney Marsh. You are mere footsteps from a number of traditional pubs, contemporary restaurants serving farm-to-table produce and just a ten-minute stroll to the Rye Castle Museum. If you’re feeling up to it, you can reach Camber Sands in just over an hour by foot or a ten-minute drive in the car. Back at home, a living space that’s equal parts stylish and cosy calls for cups of tea in front of the fire. And when it’s time to head for the land of nod, an inviting bedroom finished in soothing coastal tones awaits. 

Between Land and Sea

Steeped in fairytale charm, this stone brick cottage is a gorgeous choice for a family or friends getaway. Tucked away in a vast field, this Victorian home is encircled by whimsical trees with plenty of land to enjoy. 

You'll love the peace and seclusion of this home as much as its quaint interior. It's wonderfully cheerful, with a mix of traditional and modern touches. The stone brick decorative fireplace and patchwork sofa blend harmoniously with the contemporary artwork and funky coffee table. While this home might hold onto its rural Victorian charm, modern preferences brighten up the house beautifully. 

Around the house, the vast gardens provide a setting for familial joy. With plenty of nooks and crannies for the kids to play hide and seek, a barbecue area for the grown-ups to gather around while sipping on wine, and the cosy converted shed, there's so much to love about this countryside escape. 

You might not want to leave this slice of heaven, but there's much to explore in the area. The medieval town of Sandwich is under twenty minutes away by foot, while the idyllic seaside town of Deal is around a fifteen-minute drive away. When you return home after a day of exploring historic streets or eating fish and chips on the pier, your cottage awaits for afternoon drinks in the lovely garden followed by cosy evenings around the dining table. 

Fields of Patchwork

Free Parking

In the heart of the picturesque seaside town of Whitstable, this home is just steps away from the High St – lined with independent boutiques, art galleries and seafood restaurants – with the bustling Harbour Market and the beachfront just a few minutes further on foot. The ground floor has been opened up, making this home better suited to modern living. However, period features, including a cast iron fireplace in the main bedroom and sash windows, remain. Out back, a spacious patio and dining area is equipped with solar lights that flick on in the evening, creating a lovely space for alfresco dining over the summer months.

Eastern Oyster

This striking holiday home was a pump station built during WWII to support the D-Day landings. Its conversion into a beach-side hideaway was so impressive that it was featured on George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations, and it’s easy to see why. Concrete walls are softened by stone grey tones, warm wood, and luxurious furnishings in this stunning home. This is a cosy, comfortable abode with underfloor heating and a log fire. Five floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the surrounding nature reserve – you’ll be perfectly positioned on the Dungeness Estate, on a shingle beach 3 miles into the English Channel. 

Pump It Up

Nestled among a cluster of fisherman’s cottages a minute’s walk from Kingsdown Beach, this cosy home is perfect for a family holiday at the coast. Inside, shades of blue and nautical touches are a nod to the nearby sea, while a hand-picked selection of shabby chic furniture adds warmth to the abode. Begin your mornings with brunch around the dining table in the open-plan living area or dine alfresco if the sun’s out. Once the plates are cleared away, sprint down to the pebbled shores for an afternoon of paddling and long walks by the water’s edge. Follow the coastal path for fifty minutes to the pretty town of Deal, where a contemporary art scene and superb collection of bars and eateries draw a cool, local crowd. When the day draws to a close, head back home for mugs of hot tea in the inviting living room – fire up the wood-burner to make it extra cosy. 

The Captain's Cottage

Safety Gates

This peaceful haven offers beautiful views and the perfect setting for a restorative retreat in the North Downs. Nestled within a small country estate, you can relax in the private garden, savour long soaks in the hot tub and follow hiking trails through the surrounding meadows. Inside, the rooms have been designed to inspire a wonderful sense of well-being. From the Scandinavian design and the woodburning stove to the luxurious freestanding bath and the range of extra services, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make it your own. It’s also family-friendly with a bunk bed room for children and plenty to explore in the surroundings. From here, it’s just a short drive to Canterbury and the coastal towns of Folkestone and Hythe.
