  • "The 3 generations (and dog) had a great time at Pentire House."

    There was more than enough space for everyone! We were so lucky with the weather, we even had breakfast on the balcony/veranda a few times! The table football was great fun & very competitive! The house is extremely well equipped too & there is everything you could possibly need. The very large garden was popular & the golf balls we found were appreciated. The location and views were spectacular and could be admired from most of the windows. We can't comment on response to problems - as we didn't have any!! Thank you for a great time and we would hope to come back in the future

    We loved the space and facilities and particularly enjoyed the puzzles. The garden and house provide really well for all age groups. We would really recommend it.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad that you had a lovely time. We spent all of our family holidays in cottages within the UK and have tried to think of all of the things we would have liked. Kay and Mark Property Owner

    Shame we didn't have the weather to fully enjoy all that Pentire House offers. However it did not spoil our stay. The area has a lot to offer and I would fully recommend a holiday at Pentire House. Of note the owners were helpful and ensured our stay was enjoyable.

    Thank you, Garry. Shame about the weather, but we’re glad you still had a nice time. Mark and Kay Property Owner

    The large garden is sectioned into different sporting areas and our grandchildrren spent hours running, exploring and playing in the fresh air rather than playing on their computers. We had a lovely lunch in the nearby golf club and there is the option of long walks along the cliff top. Kay, our host, made every effort to ensure that we felt supported should we need anything and provided a large guide book covering the property and surrounding area.

    Thank you. We’re glad you could all enjoy the amenities and had a lovely time. Mark and Kay Property Owner

    Amazing views and fantastic garden especially for the kids who loved all the garden games, especially petanque and a lot of hide and seek opportunities! Setting is lovely right next to beach on one side and golf course on other, and village has a really nice vibe about it with a couple of great pubs. Highly recommended!

    We had an absolutely wonderful week at Pentire House. It is such a fabulous house with amazing views & the most beautiful garden. Excellent for both children & adults. Plenty of sitting areas both inside & out. Well equipped, comfy beds, plenty of room, safe enclosed garden……and so I could go on & on. Everything & more has been thought off! We visited many areas, Broadstairs, Folkstone, Margate, Whitstable, Canterbury all within a short drive. We walked to Walmer & Deal along the beach & from The Coastgaurd at Dover. Plenty of beautiful walks locally along with a few pubs! On the last morning we all enjoyed breakfast at the golf club. We will definitely be back!

  • "Pentire House is an absolutely stunning house in the most beautiful location."

    It has absolutely everything you could ask for, a real home-to-home but with a difference - we felt like we were living like millionaires for the weekend. The house and garden were amazing and had so many different areas that, even with 7 of us (and a dog) there, we never felt on top of each other. Our boys loved the football pitch, table tennis and basketball net too. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and well maintained. Mark and Kay were so helpful and put us in touch with local people to help with our stay and to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday whilst we were staying in the area. We would definitely love to come back and stay again! My morning coffee isn’t quite the same now we’re back home without the stunning views from that balcony!

The location - such amazing views and so quiet; the house - so welcoming and comfortable; the garden - beautiful to sit out in and enjoy, and it was ideal for the chocolate Easter bunny hunt which everyone participated in so enthusiastically (even though 'the children' are all in their 30's!); and the great walks along the cliffs which the dogs thoroughly enjoyed.

    The garden is beautiful with many different spots to sit in and enjoy the views. We loved the kitchen diner and spent most of our time there for the floor to ceiling view of the cliffs and across the channel. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and prepare meals. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and nice treat. Our beds and bedrooms were comfortable and the power showers were fab! There were more amazing views to be had from the bedroom windows too. Plenty of parking for 4 cars. We had 2 cars and had more then enough room. We enjoyed the walks along the cliff top ( you can walk to the Dover Patrol Monument) and into Kingsdown village. Nice little butcher/deli who even gave a treat to our doggy. Pub on the beach has lots of outside seating and is doggy friendly too. The main reason for staying was for the amazing views. And they did not disappoint. Thank you.

    Kay and Mark have thought of everything to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay. The house is in a stunning location with beautiful views from every room. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need and plenty of space for everyone to relax or help with the cooking. The gardens are beautifully laid out however March was not really the best time to be able to relax outside but still enjoyable looking at all the lovely shrubs and plants. Easy walking from the door in either direction but especially love the walk to St. Margaret's with a refreshment stop in the Coastguard. We did have a couple of days of wind and rain but when the place you are staying in is so warm and comfortable, what could be better than staying indoors playing games and just being with your family. We all loved it and would love to go back again.

    Our family group of 8 comprised 3 generations with ages ranging from 27 to 80, plus a dog. The spacious house and garden totally met our expectations and provided comfort and also entertainment for all of us, such as table tennis, pétanque etc. The ever changing colours of the sea, visible from all 4 bedrooms and both living rooms, constantly drew me back. The location is superb. We particularly love a holiday home which has instant access to unspoilt walks and Pentire House did not disappoint. Apart from the spectacular Coastal Path on our doorstep we found plenty of interesting places to visit in the area where dogs were welcome. Some of us left the dog in the care of others one afternoon and went to Walmer Castle. It’s a really beautiful place and if you don’t have a canine companion to consider you should definitely go there. Barnsole Vineyard might not be an obvious destination but all 8 of us plus dog spent a fascinating afternoon there being taken round by Phil, one of the owners. We also ate out a few times and would recommend Victuals & Co in Deal and The Smugglers in St. Margaret’s at Cliffe. We had tasty sausage baguettes for lunch at The Pines in St. Margaret’s too and would certainly recommend their cakes. A second week would have been marvellous - we’ll need to return to be able to visit some of the sites we didn’t get to this time. Sadly some of us have to work!

    Our (multi-generation)family all had the most wonderful and unforgettable holiday during the week we spent at Pentire House. We found the house to be furnished to an extremely tasteful and high standard with brand new furnishings and appliances.

The property

Resting in the quiet village of Kingsdown in the county of Kent is this outstanding detached property, Pentire House.

Located in a stunning location with cliff top views over the Channel and, on a clear day, views over to the French coast.

It is situated in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Marine Conservation.

The property is on a private road nestled between National Trust Land and the Walmer and Kingsdown golf course.

It features spacious, light, and airy accommodation, which makes the most of the spectacular views at every opportunity.

Pentire House sleeps up to eight guests, perfect for larger groups or families looking for a generous dwelling but with enough separate areas to ensure that quiet time too.

Entering onto the private driveway, with enough space for four cars, take in the impressive architecture of the property, along with the sizeable land that surrounds it.

With two access points, you can select to enter through the grand hallway, or for convenience, through the side porch, an ideal area for walking boots, belongings, and pets.

Leading into the main living area, you’ll find the utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer.

There is also a separate oven, fridge and access to a WC and the back garden.

From the utility, there are steps up to an open-plan kitchen diner and family room, providing all your culinary needs as well as an area for families to eat and play together.

Heading through the bright hallway, flooded with light from the floor to ceiling windows, you’ll find the snug, a games area tucked away with table football, books, DVDs, games and jigsaws and a cloakroom with WC and basin.

Off of the hall you can either go to the sunroom, which has been set up for quiet reading or contemplation over the stunning sea views.

For the budding artists amongst you, why not use the easel and create your own Turneresque paintings (Canvas, brushes and paints not included); or head to the sitting room with plenty of reclining seating in front of an open fire, TV and DVD player.

There is also separate seating for reading and a table that can be used for games, cards, or jigsaws.

The entire ground floor of the property provides direct access to the breath-taking wrap around garden, with various patios, a play area, a considerable lawn and BBQ station.

The front allows for sitting in the sun and gazing at the coast.

Early birds can watch the sun rise over the sea and later, set over the back garden which backs onto the golf course.

There is sun all day long at some point in the grounds.

Venturing upstairs, you’ll feel the epitome of opulence with four contemporary bedrooms to choose from, all with extensive storage.

Two bedrooms, one super-king and one double have doors onto a wraparound balcony looking over the coast.

A nice place to sit and have your breakfast.
