Walmer is a coastal village near Dover in Kent that is considered by many as an extension of its neighbour, Deal. Walmer doesn’t have many amenities so it mostly relies on Deal’s bustling high streets, or even Dover’s, given that its only six miles away. It does compensate for this with some quaint beach houses and cottages, as well as a stonking English Heritage attraction… Walmer Castle that include walks, extensive gardens, tearooms and exhibitions.

Then there is Walmer Beach with its wide promenade providing a peaceful haven where you can bathe, stroll and relax on sun warmed pebbles or under the shade of an oak enjoying a heady mix of wild scented shrubs and sea air. The beach is even visited by seals on occasion, which are best seen from the cycling path. The self-catering Walmer cottages for rent listed here are located a short walk from the beach and include pet friendly cottages and cottages for families that are child friendly.
