Oldestairs House is a much loved family coastal home built in 1910, located in Kingsdown, a beautiful and still undiscovered village in the corner of England at the end of the White Cliffs of Dover, near Deal and just over an hour from London. The house sleeps ten guests comfortably in five bedrooms. The home has been fully redecorated recently with colours to match the seaside location.
