The White Cliffs of Dover form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs, on both sides of the town of Dover in Kent, stretch for eight miles (13 km).

Can't fault it, the house is a great size, there were12 adults and a dog in our group and we had plenty of space. Everything was amazing, we had the best time. Walkable to some amazing pubs and the beach. Already booked to go back again next year. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thais W. Mar 25, 2025 #### Lovely relaxing stay and perfect location We had a really great time at Bowden Lodge. Well-equipped kitchen and perfect location, with lots of places to chill inside and outside the house. Lovely pool area, wish we'd been there in summer! The double beds are rather small, if you're sharing one, but otherwise the furnishings were comfortable and pretty and the house was lovely and clean! Would recommend as a great place to get away with a big group of friends. ##### Thais W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carole M.

We have stayed at Bowden Lodge 5 times over recent years and every time we have been delighted with our stay. The house is beautifully maintained, well equipped and can easily accommodated a large family group. The playroom and the heated pool are a particular hit with the kids. The large outdoor space is also a huge plus. Thank you for another lovely stay, we'll be back! ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew S.

Jun 26, 2024 #### Lovely weekend at Bowden Lodge We have just had a lovely family weekend stay at Bowden Lodge. The house is very spacious, well furnished and clean and it accommodated our 12 family members plus small dog very comfortably. The children loved the swimming pool - which was heated - as well as playing ball games in the large garden. All in all an ideal house for all ages and the very sunny weather made it even more special for us! Thank you, ##### Helen H.

We were a mixed aged (8 to 75 years) family group away for a weekend to celebrate our Golden Wedding. The children all loved the pool, as did the adults, the games room was very popular and we had some wonderful games of croquet in the grounds. The house is very well equipped, very spacious and nicely furnished. We had lovely weather (to be expected in early June) and so were able to eat out both days which was lovely. We put the BBQ provided to good use. All in all it was a great weekend. ##### Stephen H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 16, 2024 #### A fantastic property We had a brilliant weekend at Bowden Lodge. The customer service both before and during the stay was excellent (quick responses, useful local tips) and the property itself was perfect for our group. It was immaculate and kitchen was well-stocked with crockery etc. We loved the dining room and sitting room in particular. We were a group of adults but we can imagine it being perfect for a number of families too (2 sitting rooms, a separate dining room, main kitchen and smaller one off it). The garden is stunning and it felt very peaceful. The location was brilliant - 10 minute drive to Deal or (as our group did) a walk along the beautiful beach. I would highly recommend.

The kitchen was well equipped, bathrooms, furnishings and decor were all very stylish and yet homely. The games room with the pool table was a great asset and well used by my grown up grandchildren but it also had plenty there for young children. The garden is large and we found a great space for playing cricket and football or just sitting on the terrace having a cup of coffee. We were extremely lucky as even though it was early April the sun shone the whole time, unfortunately too early for the swimming pool. We lit the log burner in the evenings and played charades and other games and even managed one evening to have a takeaway delivered. The beach is a very short walk away, we didn’t venture any further but as Kent residents we know of all the great places to visit in the area. We were all sad to leave but agreed the best weekend ever in a beautiful house. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah W. Jan 16, 2024 #### Can't fault Bowden Lodge Our party of 8 adults and 3 children spent the weekend at Bowden Lodge and cannot find fault with our stay. The building is beautiful, the layout is spacious and bright for big groups. Keepers Cottage went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The place was immaculate, very clean and tidy. It felt more like a home than a holiday rental, everything was well maintained and cared for. The location is great, very peaceful and tucked out of the way but a short walk to the beach and pubs which sell food. My only comments would be that the property is very difficult to locate. It would really help to have some signposts from the road. Also, it would be great to have shower gel provided. Everything else was provided but we forgot to bring any and it was the one thing missing! ##### Sarah W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 29, 2024 #### Bowden Lodge is a great place for a family seaside holiday Bowden Lodge was just a brilliant place to stay with our family. The house is stunning and seems to go on and in when you first enter it with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The pool (table) and the (swimming) pool ‍♀️ being to of the hits with both the kids and the adults. The accommodation was clean and tidy and well maintained with bedding, towels (both shower and pool/beach) and all cooking items there. If you are looking for a UK seaside (less then 10 min walk to beach) holiday this house is a great choice. Even on a bad weather day there is plenty to do and entertain everyone in the house and on better days the pool and grounds make a perfect holiday location without the need to have to leave the grounds. Having said that the beach (stoney!) Is less then 10 minute walk with several pubs in Highcliffe in a similar distance. You can also access Deal with a 10 minute car ride and Dover is also close if you need more to do! One word of caution, and this may well be just our sat-nav, it is advisable to not use the postcode and be aware the drive is off Queensdown Road. This did not however distract from a truly lovely week for us all.

We had a very nice few days, and were very comfortable, this is the second time that we stayed here. We noticed this time how tired the house is looking, the pool table needs a recover, two of the showers didn’t work, the heating in the games room didn’t work, we couldn’t use one of the toilets. When I contacted the maintenance lady, she was very good, she helped me get one of the showers working and called a plumber out to sort the heating. I was impressed with her help, but there was just two meany things wrong in the first place. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mrs M.

Aug 24, 2025 #### Birthday Stay We stayed at Bowden Lodge for my birthday celebration and it was just perfect. There were 9 adults, 1 child and 3 dogs and it never felt like we were getting on top of each other as the house was so big. There is everything you need for a short stay and the separate dining room was a definite plus. The gardens were lovely and secure and the swimming pool a huge hit with everyone especially as the water was very warm. We spent some time at the beach which is 10 mins away and also some time in Deal which is lovely. Would definitely book this house again ##### Andy W.

Aug 28, 2022 #### An excellent place for a large group holiday We were 3 generations and had the good fortune to have lovely weather for our stay. The house is spacious, clean and well equipped on the whole and the heated pool was a big hit with us all. Walmer and Deal are very close and Dover with all it’s history is nearby too. The Grand Shaft was an interesting place to visit there. We enjoyed many walks from the property and also drove to Margate and walked back to Joss Bay where we swam in the sea. Thanks! ##### Vivienne L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria B. May 25, 2022 #### Family celebration This is our third time back to stay at this beautiful house. Our two families with 4 children had space to run, play, swim, drink, laugh and create some very special and funny memories. This house and the team at cottages never fail to deliver. The house is stunning and well equipped with everything you need and more, including piles of lovely towels for the pool which if you have the weather feels like you are in the Med! We are already planning our next holiday, thank you Keepers cottages for another amazing holiday, just wish I could be beamed back there! ##### Maria B.

Really spacious and a short walk to the beach. The pool was an outstanding addition as we're the little touches like Nest heating systems and the games room. We really had a fabulous time (10 mixed gender adults) and would definitely return again. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie S. May 17, 2022 #### Lovely House A fab house for a large group/families, it’s modern and clean and the decoration is lovely. The outside space is great and we loved having the pool to use! We have been holidaying in Kingsdown for years and we’d definitely go back to this house again. They have thought of all the details for big groups - 2 dishwashers, plenty of fridge/freezer space, lots of bathrooms & a games room! ##### Katie S.

Bowden Lodge is situated in a very nice, quiet location close to the beach and a more or less level walk all the way to Deal. We were a large party with a mix of adults, children, babies and a dog and the substantial accommodation meant that everyone had their own space to relax. The excellent kitchens made catering easy. All in all, an excellent place to stay. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail T. Apr 10, 2022 #### Great Place Lovely place to stay for all ages. It is extremely comfortable and well equipped, in a beautiful, quiet setting with a lovely garden and swimming pool. We had one minor problem with hot water not being available in the downstairs bedroom but at the request of the agent at Keepers Cottages, plumber came with 30 minutes and sorted it out. ##### Gail T.

Dec 15, 2021 #### Our Stay at Bowden Lodge Dec 2021 There were 11 of us staying at this property for a long weekend. The property itself was absolutely lovely and had everything we needed. It had even been decorated with a Christmas Tree and lights around the fire which really made it feel warm and festive. There were a few small issues though which we had with the property. The SMEG dishwasher in the kitchen didn't seem to work. Even after two 70 degree washes the plates still came out dirty so we ended up doing them by hand or using the dishwasher in the utility room. There was white bedding on all of the beds and even though it smelt fresh, the majority of sheets and pillow cases were all stained. One of the toilet flushes in an en-suite bathroom only worked on the larger flush and not on the smaller flush. Some of the taps also fell off when being used and had to be fixed back on. Camilla from the agency was very good though and said they would send a plumber out to fix these things if we needed them to. It is not a very user friendly property for the elderly. From the main lounge down to the dining room / kitchen area there are two very steep steps with no hand rails to hold onto. ##### Mandy H. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Saffron House Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ilfracombe-Hotels-Saffron-House-Hotel.h4252372.Hotel-Information) > > [The Evenlode Rooms at Firehouse Oxford](https://www.expedia.ca/Witney-Hotels-The-Evenlode.h41258809.Hotel-Information) > > [Forest Pines Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Brigg-Hotels-Forest-Pines-Spa-Golf-Resort.h461512.Hotel-Information) > > [Devon Holiday Home with large garden, hot tub, Sleeps 9\.
