1 / 14Kingsgate Cottage
Broadstairs, Kent
A one bedroom cottage for two at Kingsgate near Broadstairs, with a fully enclosed garden, a bedroom and bathroom at ground level and two dogs welcome, a short walk above the bay.
Kingsgate is one bay along the Thanet chalk, an arch cut clean through the headland at the far end of it and a castle standing on the cliff above. Kingsgate Cottage sits on the road running down to the sand: dog friendly, one bedroom, a fully enclosed garden and two dogs allowed in it. For a couple with a pair of dogs, the walk from the front door to salt water is about as short as this coast makes it.
One super king bedroom, with that and the bathroom both down on the ground floor, which removes the stairs from the week for an animal that has stopped enjoying them. There is a bath in there and a separate walk in shower beside it, so a sandy dog and a person who would rather not wait behind one are dealt with in the same room. The garden behind is fully enclosed and has seating out on it.
It can also be booked alongside the larger house beside it, and the two together take eight. That makes it two different holidays. On its own it is a quiet week for two people and two dogs. As half of the pair it becomes the small end of a family arrangement, the dogs moving between two enclosed gardens and nobody sharing a bathroom they did not expect to.
The bay lies straight below and empties quickly past the steps down. Above it the cliff path runs south by the North Foreland lighthouse towards Broadstairs, and north along the top of the chalk, one bay after another with steps down into most of them. A dog can be given a different one every morning of a week and still not see the lot.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Kingsgate Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Kingsgate Cottage welcomes dogs — up to two are allowed. The property has a fully enclosed garden, so your dogs can spend time outside safely, and the bay at Kingsgate is just a short walk from the front door.
Are dogs allowed at Kingsgate Cottage year round?
The listing confirms dogs are welcome at Kingsgate Cottage, but doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions. We'd recommend checking directly with the property when you book to confirm availability for your dates.
What should I know before visiting Kingsgate Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes a maximum of two dogs, and the fully enclosed garden gives them somewhere to roam without the need for a lead. The bedroom and bathroom are both on the ground floor, which is worth knowing if your dog struggles with stairs — and the bathroom is set up for a sandy dog too, with both a bath and a separate walk-in shower. The cliff path above the bay connects a string of coves, each with steps down to the beach, so there's plenty of scope for a different walk each day of the week.
