Little Lynstead was formerly an annexe of Lynstead House. We are located a 10 mins stroll from the seafront at Walmer and the majestic Walmer Castle. The property is cosy and comfy designed to be a home from home by the seaside. Your hosts - Barry & Richard welcome you to Little Lynstead at Lynstead House in Upper Walmer a stones throw from Walmer Station and a stroll from the beach. Little Lynstead has a large lounge with a 3 piece suite (the sofa is a sofa bed), a small 60’s style dining table and chairs. The property was recently decorated and furnished. There is a selection of black and white photo canvases of Deal. The lounge has a “nest” thermostat for the radiators as well as a small flame effect electric fire. There’s a TV with Sky Q, as well as a DVD player and selection of films, a Wii games console and an iPod docking station all connected to a Bose surround sound system. The lounge and bedroom have large plantation shutters. Please be considerate with the TV and music volume out of courtesy to our neighbours as it is a quiet neighbourhood. Our decor is “eclectic” and fun with some seaside touches. We wanted to create a warm and welcoming space that is comfy and a home away from home, whilst being a little bit quirky. You enter directly in from the front garden. Off the lounge is a fully fitted kitchen with oven, hob, microwave, washer/drier, kettle and toaster. There’s cutlery and crockery for up to 4 visitors as well as tumblers, wine and champagne glasses. We provide tea and coffee, including a Nespresso machine. Off the lounge is a double bedroom with a double bed, hanging space and hooks and space for your luggage. There is a wall mounted “dressing table” with a hairdryer. Note that the bedroom is “snug” and there is only a relatively small gap from the end of the bed to the wall. The room is therefore unsuitable for anyone in a wheelchair. The bedroom has a radio clock alarm and a Bose docking station for iPods. The room has sockets with USB charging points both sides of the bed for phones etc. Off the bedroom is the shower room. On the left side is a shower cabinet and on the right the toilet and bidet. We provide shower gel and shampoo. Please leave what you don’t use for the benefit of the next guests. We provide towels and toilet paper. Please note that hot water and heating comes from the boiler in the basement of Lynstead House so the water may take a few moments to get to temperature. The property is No Smoking/No Vaping, but you can smoke at the front of the property but please dispose of all butts etc.. Please be considerate to our neighbours when using the outside space. We have plenty of parking at the property. Please park under the tree and the front of the garden. We typically park in front of Lynstead House and need access to the gates and garages so please park with consideration. When Little Lynstead is occupied we will open both front gates to make it easier for you to drive in and out. The garages and rear gardens of Lynstead House are not available for guests. Well behaved dogs can be accommodated but note that you walk into the property direct from the front garden. We both love dogs but ask that they are not left alone in the property.
A lovely stay at our favourite Little Lynstead. It really is a home from home for us and our dog!
I have used Airbnb for years and Barry and Richard by far has been the best hosts I have ever come across on this platform. They went out of their way to give us tips for vegan restaurants, they were extremely responsive, and remembered the birthday of my partner (our reason for travel) and placed a nice birthday card for her to find. The property itself was clean and full of snacks and drinks with a bottle of Prosecco provided for us. If you are planning a holiday around the White Cliffs area, please don’t hesitate to book this airbnb. Excellent hosts and first class property.
Always a wonderful stay at our home-away-from-home - Little Lynstead! A beautifully appointed place, great location and our dog always loves the soft, snuggly dog bed
An absolute gem. This beautiful detached home on a quiet residential street is a must stay. Barry and Richard are amazing hosts, they have thought of everything. The kitchen was stocked with breakfast supplies, so no rushing to the shops for your first mornings breakfast. The home is very comfortable and nicely furnished. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom has everything you could need. Communication was always good from booking to arrival. Barry even checked after the first night to see if all was OK.
Yet another fantastic stay at Little Lynstead! Really loved the extra little touches including mini Christmas Tree. Thanks for all the goodies. The place really heated up quickly so was lovely and cosy. Not a single disturbance during our stay so we had a very relaxing time whilst visiting family near by. Look forward to hopefully staying again when we visit in the new year!

Both foodies and eat a plant-based diet (that's why there's oat milk in the LL fridge). Moved from SE London to Walmer almost 5 years ago. Absolutely love living by the sea.
