Sea Purse, St Margaret's Bay by Keepers Cottages
Sea Purse possesses possibly the most stunning location of any house on the South Coast - every visitor testifies to that. Sitting directly beneath the White Cliffs of Dover and a balcony’s width from the beach, this historically important house was previously leased by Noel Coward in the 1950s, with Ian Fleming leasing the adjacent house. Read James Bond’s Moonraker novel and it’s clear Fleming drew inspiration from this beautiful location. Coward’s friends - Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, and Evelyn Waugh among others - were frequent visitors. Sea Purse amazes every visitor. You can enjoy an uninterrupted, panoramic view of the English Channel, wake up to the sound of the sea on the shingle, look forward to long days on the beach, and relish relaxed suppers on the wrap-around balcony. This superb beach house is located at the far end of St Margaret’s Bay under the White Cliffs. It's just a few footsteps to the beach. Sea Purse was completely renovated in 2022 and is beautifully decorated throughout with great care and consideration given to the decor and furnishings to reflect its coastal position. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this property sleeps up to 7 and is an ideal family home or for guests looking to stay in unique accommodation.

A beautiful house in a stunning location
Incredible place to stay. So well equipped, immaculate and thoughtful, lovely welcoming touches.
The location directly on the beach is beyond compare and the history of the houses and its location add so much to the charm.
Thank you
Beautiful house with great views! Wonderful kitchen and balcony. Only minor inconvenience was with the bathrooms- the hot water in one stopped when the other was being used/ lack of shelves in the shower stall- had to bend down to pick up stuff from the floor. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

Incredible stay
This is such a special house and a privilege to stay in a much loved family home. The interior design is gorgeous. The location is incredible and great to swim every day and hitch the ladder down to the shingle. Every day I said ‘wow’ as the view of the sea and sky from the huge windows is breathtaking. Peaceful location, beautiful sunrises. 2 min walk to the Coastguard pub, Deal pier kitchen for brunch, great walks in the area. THANKYOU !
