Fantastic stay at Glen Hill

The country house exceeded all expectations: very comfortable furnishings, good beds, a well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful garden with a view. Everything was excellent!

A Brilliant Stay!

This was our second visit to Glen Hill, a family party of 19, including 6 children, and had a marvellous stay again. The house is very well appointed, and the gardens are lovely. The children explored every inch and we made good use of the tennis court, and the beach which is only a 10 minute walk.

Perfect for a 30th birthday celebration ★★★★★

We stayed at Glen Hill for a 30th birthday celebration and it could not have been better. The house was fantastic: so cosy and wonderfully autumnal, with a warm, welcoming feel the moment we walked in. The location is fantastic, with stunning views and the coast close by. It was also close to the Parkrun start line, which was perfect for our group! It's incredibly spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and the kitchen is so well equipped that cooking for a big group was a joy. It's ideal for large gatherings and get-togethers. The beds were really comfortable, and everyone slept well. We felt very safe throughout, but it also felt like a real home rather than just a rental. Putting the fire on in the evenings was a highlight, and we spent many happy hours curled up around it after a day out. Thank you so much for helping make the milestone birthday so special. We'd recommend it to anyone planning a celebration, and we'd love to come back!

Gorgeous old place with incredible history

Stayed with a large group of friends. We absolutely adored this house - so many fun nooks and crannies and it really feels “lived in”. Thank you for having us in your wonderful home.

Perfect location to celebrate my 30th!

We had a group of 17 of us stay at Glen Hill to celebrate my 30th! The house was absolutely beautiful and looked even better than the photos. The kitchen was well equipped and loads of games! The grounds were also amazing, we visited the castle we were able to walk along the beach into deal. The house had loads of space so its perfect for a big group! We didn't want to leave it was an absolute treat!

Perfect seaside getaway

We had a wonderful weekend at Glen Hill as a big group of 15. Great access to the sea and Deal, with amazing gardens. The house is lovely and full of character. The Keepers Cottage’s team were incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any requests. Highly recommend!

À beautiful, spacious, period house with stung well kept gardens.

Glen House is a great place to stay. It is full of character with large spacious rooms and there was room for all of us, 10adults, 6 children and 2 babies. The main house is grand and both the Annexe and flat are very comfortable. The gardens are a delight, the children absolutely loved the large lawn and the gravel pathways at the bottom. A place to return to as we had only a brief weekend. Thank you Keepers Cottage for your efficiency, from booking to our stay was seamless and everyone so pleasant.

Milestone Birthdays x 3

18 people from 2 families over 3 generations + dogs. We had a wonderful time. The weather was brilliant allowing us to make full use of the outdoor facilities. It was a lovely surprise to find the tennis court had been mown and the lines painted - it was well used. The huge trampoline was also well used. The garden was immaculate but with interesting nooks and crannies. The fencing was secure enabling us to let the dogs to run freely. We found the Keepers Cottages staff very friendly and helpful (and on the end of the phone when needed) and we would certainly trust them to provide us with a lovely holiday venue in the future.

A great place to enjoy with friends or family.

A large rambling property for any group that wants space without standing on ceremony. Gardens fantastic and as there were 6 aged 13 or less it could not have been better for them. A reasonable walk to the sea and though no-one would risk a swim, kite flying was just right.

A lovely house and garden in a wonderful location

This is an unusual house with many passages, nooks and crannies and a beautiful garden in a wonderful location. There was plenty to do for all of us from 2 years old to 70 … football, tennis, trampolining, croquet and hide and seek. The beach is only a ten minute walk away and there are lots of places a short drive away. We all enjoyed our stay at Glen Hill.

Absolutely perfect!

We had the most incredible weekend staying here, the photos do not do the house justice with quite how incredible it is! It really has everything you could need and the team were beyond accommodating with early/late check out and answering any questions. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The only feedback we could think of is to have a little more freezer space and to have mini shampoo & conditioner in the bathrooms. The perfect stay!

Brilliant house for large gathering

We booked this large rambling historic house for a family gathering of 18, including small children, and it was perfect. The house itself is very interesting and characterful with an interesting history. It is well equipped with just about everything you could need - the piano was nice to have, lots of games, books, TV with lots of channels, hi-fi system, smart speakers in many of the rooms. The weather was good so we enjoyed eating outside, and tennis on the tennis court (lots of rackets provided), football goals for kids games, a croquet set. The grounds are picturesque with nice views and well kept by gardeners who appeared one day. Keepers Cottages were very good at making sure everything was going smoothly, and responded quickly to the only problem we had (a leaking sink waste pipe).

spacious house, enormous garden, peaceful location next to Walmer castle, expectations exceeded

A superb holiday for our party of 15 plus a dog. Kids loved trampolining, tennis, croquet, with a football goal included while adults enjoyed the terrace and amazing gardens which are huge, extending in 3 directions from the house. The rooms and bedrooms are spacious, with character and comforts. Part of the character is it's age but everything worked fine. A bit more fridge/freezer capacity would be good. The view from the top floor across to the castle and sea beyond is stunning. You can walk from the driveway to the beach side path in a few minutes or up onto the clifftop. Ample opportunities for dog walking, jogging, etc. Parking was relatively easy by Deal beach (in August), but we'd recommend a 10 minute drive to St. Margaret's Bay - great for body boarding and swimming near high tide for all ages. But pay for parking by phone before you go (no signal/French network only!) or take plenty of cash

Gothic splendour on the Kent coast

As a large party of four adults and eight teenagers, we found Glen Hill pretty much ideal. The house itself is sprawling and quirky with multiple staircases and even an organ room; the grounds are vast, with tennis court, trampoline, and plenty of places for teens to squirrel themselves away. Accommodation is generous and actually rather better (in terms of usable beds) than the website suggests. A couple of caveats. First, it’s not the place to go if you want wow interiors: everything is perfectly serviceable and clean, but a little shabby and dated. Second, the number of bathrooms is quite tight for a houseful, and they’re fairly Spartan, especially in terms of water pressure! This said, it’s a great location for a dog-friendly family break.

Amazing house

The house is amazing, perfect location right next to a castle. The grounds are wonderful. It's the ideal location for a large group. Also kids will love the "Harry Potter" style of the stairs and nooks and crannies in the house. Points of attention: - We found a piece of glass on the bedroom floor, reported it to Keepers Cottages. Fortunately, no injuries. - A plumber came unannounced to the house to fix the downstairs toilet which was not working when we arrived. After he left, it still did not work. - A gardener also came unannounced to the house at 8am on Friday morning. He told us he's been doing that every week for many years. - Some of the email communication was frustrating. Generally though, the above comments are minor compared to the amazing property!

Needs some TLC

The property is over looking the sea and Windsor castle in fairly well kept grounds so the location is good. Close to Deal and about 20 mins walk to the beach with small children. Things inside the property need some TLC, 2 of the children’s beds have broken slats., the door knob to the master room falls off and only one door to the balcony is accessible as there is only one key to one door. The bbq was disgusting, small old and rusty with previous users debris and old pork chop bones. The downstairs WC flush away was hit and miss. To be fair to the company they sent someone to fix this once I told them I had a disabled daughter who needed to use it , otherwise I think they would have just said do not use it use the other WC’S Two of the Wc lids slip to one side when you sit on them which is also not great. The rest of the house was generally charming with old features and characteristic querk’s We went for my husbands 70th with family and had specifically requested use of the bbq as we had 16 there for a Sunday bbq , they have not taken our complaint seriously and it was a pain having to to do everything in the oven last minute. Do my final comment is Shape up , could do better.

A fantastic house and grounds.

We stayed as a family with children and grandparents and couldn’t have asked for more. The house was beautiful and well stocked with books and games for all ages. Superb grounds with well kept gardens and space for all of us to play and relax when not out exploring the local area. Just a 10 minute walk to the sea, the local stony beach was empty and felt like our own personal space. Would love to go back some time and can highly recommend the property and service we received.
