Walmer, Kent
Tides Reach
Tides Reach is a warm, characterful cottage in one of the most perfectly placed spots, just moments from the beach in Walmer and a short stroll to Deal in one direction and Kingsdown in the other. Downstairs, the sitting and dining room flow together into a light space, with a well equipped kitchen just next door. The private courtyard garden beyond catches the sun and is the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Upstairs are two bedrooms, simply and neatly furnished, and a family bathroom. It sleeps four comfortably and welcomes well behaved dogs too. Sitting in Walmer, one of the most quietly lovely spots on this stretch of coast, the cottage is perfectly placed between three of East Kent's most rewarding towns. Deal is just along the seafront, with its brilliant independent high street, pubs and Saturday market. Kingsdown, with its pebble beach and the clifftop walk to St Margaret's Bay, is in the other direction. Sandwich, with its medieval streets and world-class links golf at Royal St George's, is a short drive inland. The beach itself is a matter of minutes on foot, and free on road parking is available all along North Barrack Road and there is more than one entrance to the cottage, including one without steps. Come for a weekend, stay for a week. Tides Reach is the kind of cottage that earns its place in the diary year after year.

Reviews
Walmer
You can find everything you need in Walmer, with a variety of local pubs and cafes. Deal town is only a short walk away too with fantastic and often quirky independent shops, markets, delicatessens, pubs, restaurants and cafes, together with a wonderful weekly bric-a-brac and food market. The actual town centre is pedestrianised which makes it an ideal place to wander and explore. From Walmer, you can walk all the way along the promenade on the seafront which leads into Deal town in one direction and Kingsdown in another. This property is conveniently located for a trip to the seaside town of Deal.
