Violet Cottage, Kingsdown

Prepare to fall in love with Violet Cottage. Tucked away in a peaceful spot with private parking in the sought after village of Kingsdown, Violet cottage is a truly special holiday home. From the moment you walk in, you are immediately invited to slow down and soak up the far reaching views, ever changing light and quiet surroundings. Deceptively spacious and styled beautifully with soft furnishings, pretty blinds and carefully chosen artwork, the cottage is warm and welcoming in every way. The wood burner is a lovely addition to the sitting room, perfect for curling up with a book after a day of exploring the coast. In the warmer months, the doors from the sitting room can be opened up on to the raised decked area where you can enjoy the views over the sea grass, pebble beach and White Cliffs beyond. Upstairs, three beautifully styled bedrooms await, two of which boast breathtaking sea views, creating the most magical setting to wake up each morning. Outside, the cottage continues to delight with its generous sized garden, a private and spacious area for children and dogs to play while you relax and unwind. At the back of the cottage, there is a gate that opens directly onto the wild beach beyond, making seaside strolls part of everyday life here. The Zetland Arms pub (a firm favourite with the locals) is only stone’s throw away which offers a wide range of local ales and delicious pub menu. Walk or cycle along the promenade into Walmer and Deal to explore the castles or simply to explore the independent shops, restaurants and bars. You could even take a day trip to France from Dover. Convenience stores are only 300 yards away in the village of Kingsdown and Deal train station is a short drive away. Violet Cottage really is a home that you'll want to return to time and time again.
