Tide & Time

Tide & Time: Kent

Seaside life is on your doorstep at this quintessential fishermen's cottage set just seconds from Walmer’s postcard-worthy seafront. There are all the obligatory cottage features here – starting with that log burner and a pretty walled garden outside. Along with refreshing flashes of modernity too. You didn’t expect mid-century antiques and a record player with vinyl in a sleepy hideaway in Kent, did you? Seek out Walmer Castle just along the seafront (the gardens are as impressive as the Tudor fortress). Then carry along the coastal promenade into Deal – its iconic pier and bustling high street with boutique shops and artisan delis is an afternoon well spent.

Home truths:
*There is free on-street parking outside the property and on neighbouring streets
*A high chair and cot for little ones are available on request
*There are stairs within the cottage which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility
*Your host asks you to be respectful to neighbours and observe quiet hours between 11pm and 9am
