Reviews
Walmer
Holmwood enjoys a fantastic position on Marine Road in Deal, just moments from the seafront and within easy reach of the town’s independent shops, cafés and restaurants. This is a lovely part of town for guests wanting to be close to the beach, with the promenade and pebbled shoreline just a short stroll away. The area is perfect for easy coastal days, whether that means morning walks by the sea, swimming in the warmer months or stopping for coffee and lunch nearby. Hut 55 is also close at hand, making it a great spot for beachside refreshments, light bites and bike hire if you fancy exploring more of the coastline on two wheels. Deal’s charming High Street, pier and historic seafront are all within walking distance, so you can leave the car behind and enjoy the town at a relaxed pace. With parking nearby and so much on the doorstep, Holmwood is brilliantly placed for a classic stay by the sea in Deal.
