Kingsdown, Kent
Cliffeside Cottage
Cliffeside Cottage is a charming three bedroom cottage tucked away in the picturesque village of Kingsdown. The beach is just seconds away, accessed directly from the garden through the picket gate that leads onto ‘Shrimp Lane’, which opens straight onto the pebble beach where colourful beach huts line the shore. Beautifully decorated throughout, the cottage has been thoughtfully styled to create a relaxed and welcoming escape, perfect for romantic getaways or family holidays by the sea. After a day exploring the coastline, return home to rinse away sandy toes using the outdoor rainfall shower, before settling beside the warming wood burner. The interiors feel fresh and carefully curated, with every detail considered to help you relax and unwind. Younger guests will be kept entertained, with a selection of toys and games thoughtfully provided by the owners. Upstairs, you will find three comfortable bedrooms, a king size, a double and a twin bedroom. The rooms at the rear benefit from sea views and there is a fun porthole window in the bathroom. Outside, there is a secluded garden with a table and chairs just right for slow breakfasts in the sunshine. After coastal walks, return home to Cliffeside and curl up on the sofa with a good book or magazine. For those that need to stay connected, there is a useful desk and chair set up in the top bedroom, which is ideal for logging on to catch up on emails. Four legged friends are very welcome, meaning no one needs to miss out on the fun.
