A tiny Kent village called Kingsdown has a shingle beach that connects to St. Margaret's Bay. Three pubs that serve meals are available in the village, along with a general shop, post office, delicatessen run by a local butcher, and a hair salon. The community is located at the northernmost point of the well-known White Cliffs of Dover, and the beaches and cliffs in the area are a component of the Site of Special Scientific Interest that extends south to Folkestone. The nearby seaside towns of Deal, Dover, and Broadstairs provide visitors with quaint tea shops, castles, museums, heritage, and history. Deal has a pier, two weekly markets, and the Wednesday farmers market is especially well-liked by locals. With its cathedral, Roman ruins, and fantastic shopping district, Canterbury provides a well-liked day trip in the interior. This area of Kent is ideal for vacations at any time of year with a promenade and cliff top walks, gorgeous cycle rides, golf courses, and spectacular views from the shore.

Surprisingly spacious inside with comfortable beds and good quality furniture with enough seating for six adults. Great to have the swimming pool on site. With everything included (which isnât the case for all chalets on site) Beachmaster is good value for money.

The furnishings, decor, cleanliness and facilities did not disappoint. As a teacher of History I appreciated the information as to the chaletâs name contained in the comprehensive information file. We enjoyed the use of the on site swimming pool and the grandsons made good use of the play area and crazy golf. Itâs just a short walk to the beach and two good pubs!

Difficult to find as a new visitor and a "what 3 words" location (which is STUNTS.HORMONES.FLUCTUATE ) would have been useful as signage at the bottom of the road not seen, and some diversions in place on roads into Kingsdown. Property well equipped for 6 people (2 children) and would stay again.
