Growing up in Walmer, we had often seen this house and its neighbour, and now we had the chance to actually live here for a few days. From the front it doesn't look that big, but it is deciptively large. When not visiting our favourite places in East Kent, we spent most of the time in the huge kitchen-dining room at the back of the house. The location on Wellington Parade is perfect for walks to the Zetland Arms or to Walmer Castle. Sadly, there was a death in the family while we were staying at Downsview, so it meant a lot to us that so many family members were in one place. We would definitely stay at Downsview again.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at Downsview,what a wonderful beachside cottage.the house is spacious and comfortable with amazing views across the beach and the channel.the large family room/kitchen was perfect for our family visit and we were provided with everything we could need for a comfortable stay. The beds were so comfortable but our favourite spot was the glass balcony looking out across the channel. We ate at both local pubs,The Zetland Arms and The Rising Sun,the food was great at both venues and I thoroughly recommend them, breakfasts at The Goose on the Green and The Pier Kitchen were also amazing. We will definitely be returning to Downsview,it was perfect for our family holiday.

Keepers Cottages provides an excellent service. We stayed at Downsview in Walmer for a long weekend and the property description was clear and accurate for this most comfortable of family houses that is situated right on the beach with fabulous views across the Channel to France. The large, beautifully equipped modern kitchen is superb and provides a central focal point for daily living, family meals and access to a lovely garden with BBQ for outdoor living. We were blessed with warm sunshine and dry weather for the whole time we were there that added to our enjoyment. The coastal path is right outside providing easy walking or cycling into Deal in one direction (passing Walmer Castle) or towards Kingsdown (and the excellent Zeatand Arms gastro pub) and beyond in the other. We could not have had a more enjoyable stay.
