A guest guide

Welcome to Wellington Parade

You are staying in one of the loveliest spots on this stretch of the Kent coast, with the beach at the end of the road and the Zetland Arms close by. Mornings are best spent walking or swimming, afternoons exploring Deal, and evenings deciding where to eat.

The Wellington Parade seafront at Kingsdown: wildflowers on the shingle bank, the sea to the left and the row of seafront houses beyond.

These are our personal favourites. Deal gets very busy during the summer, so book restaurants and treatments before your stay wherever possible.
