About this cottage rental
Keepers Cottages are delighted to welcome you to the Writer's Cottage, a charming, period, three-storey cottage located just off the vibrant high street of Deal.
This tastefully decorated, coastal cottage would suit couples, or a family looking for a centrally located base for a trip to Deal.
The pallet of soft white walls, exposed beams, wooden floors and soft carpets in the bedrooms, give the house a homely, easy-going feel which will suit most guests looking for a relaxed location to unwind.
Arranged over three floors, there are two double bedrooms and a cloakroom with WC/ handbasin on the first floor. The large, bright reception room and relaxed dining room are on the ground floor, the spacious kitchen & attractive master bathroom, are located on the lower ground floor.
The property has a deceptively large, and very attractive rear garden. Access to the garden is via the lower-ground floor, however the addition of French doors and a pretty Juliette-style balcony in the dining room, allows you to enjoy the lovely garden vista from the ground floor.
The bright kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay, whether you choose to eat in the cosy dining room during colder months, or in the beautiful garden with its choice of seating, in the warmer months!
Entrance

Stairs lead you down to a large, Mediterranean-style kitchen, which has painted built in cupboards, pretty tiles and a useful breakfast bar with high stools to perhaps enjoy a morning coffee. The fully equipped kitchen has an ample supply of glass, chinaware and cooking equipment. There is a dishwasher, microwave, and a gas hob with oven under.

Great communication from the team at Keepers Cottages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the heart of Deal with our greyhound. Visited many times before and this property is right in the heart of town with bars, restaurants, and the beach within a few minutes walk. Perfect for our dog with a secure, fully enclosed rear garden and the high street is just at the bottom of the road. Comfortable and warm with well equipped kitchen and upstairs and downstairs w.c. Parking is always at a premium but we managed easily between street parking across the road and parking on the sea front. A great place to stay!

we have rented a holiday home through Keepers cottage a number of times and it has been a pleasant surprise every time.
Writers cottage is in a quiet location yet with all the fun things Deal has to offer just around the corner.
You are in the center in no time and the beach is just a few minutes away.
Writers cottage was perfectly clean and very pleasantly furnished.
Add to that the fact that there is a nice garden where it is pleasant to stay on hot days. Or just start the day with a cup of coffee in the morning.
Every morning a little squirrel came to take a look in the garden, and it's just nice that a holiday home is so complete.
Highly recommended to rent again for a relaxing holiday

Very well equipped kitchen, the whole place is very clean. Comfy beds and lovely downstairs bathroom and convenient loo and sink upstairs. On 3 floors so plenty of space in this cottage. Enclosed garden - so great for dogs.

Writers Cottage was in an ideal location for a relaxing week in Deal. We have been to Deal numerous times but have never stayed in the town centre. We discovered many more pubs bars and restaurants away from the seafront. The cottage was immaculate as always, if a bit small for 4 adults! Thank you for an fabulous stay.

Nice place in Deal with every comfort and garden.
We had a very nice stay in this well equiped house with nice garden. It's dog friendly and the organisation is very good. Ideal if you want to spend some time on the coat.

A pleasant, well located cottage.
Special thanks to the very helpful staff of Keepers Cottages for arranging this cottage at short notice.
Location -very good, easy walkable distance to beach, shops and dog-friendly pub.
A nicely furnished and well equipped modernised property.
The shower floor needs an optional shower safety mat as it was alarmingly slippery when wet, for us oldies!
We were unable to access any table linen or mats as they were presumably kept in the adjacent locked cupboard?
Some confusion over rubbish bin - no access via back gate which was padlocked.
Note to owner: the instructions for the TV were inaccurate as the input to be selected was HDM1, rather than HDM12.

Charming, perfect house in heart of Deal
If you are looking for a lovely house right by Deal High Street, this place is perfect. It’s on a quiet street with a backyard but inches away from the coffee shops and restaurants that make Deal a fun place to visit. The house itself is charming and is beautifully designed and furnished. An ideal place for a couple or a family of 4.

A wonderful place to stay
Really enjoyed a long weekend at the Writer's Cottage. A cosy place in an ideal location to explore Deal and the great things it has to offer from history to dining out. The Cottage was immaculately clean, lots of nice extra touches, well stocked with appliances and all you need stuff. Lovely garden. Could not fault this place and would highly recommend it.

Beautiful cottage with tonnes of charm
It would take a week's holiday to merely find all the various books around at the appropriately named Writer's Cottage! There is a luxurious bath and a cute garden, and the well-stocked honesty bar was a lovely touch. Bonus points for being on the more independent and foodie end of the High St.

Wonderful Cottage in the Centre of Deal
We had a great stay in The Writers Cottage. Perfect for 4 plus dog. The garden was such a luxury in the centre of Deal and lovely to be able to walk to the restaurants and beach so easily.
The cottage had everything we needed, with lovely touches around the place.
Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A delightful stay
Although we know Deal very well, this was the first time we have stayed in the centre of town and we loved it. The cottage was very welcoming and, for once, the sofas were comfortable with good support for the back. We liked the garden, but would have preferred the lawn to have been mowed. The kitchen ware was excellent and we really valued having a toilet on the same floor as the bedrooms.
Deal was as great as ever and Miretti's cakes and coffee still wonderful.
PS We parked in the Market place car park for approx £5 a day. As Londoners, used to expensive parking, this was fine. There is also a car park around the corner in West Street.

Typical Deal cottage
We just spent two days in this small but comfortable cottage close to the High Street and short walk to sea front. Car parking (£6/day) close by.
Well equipped kitchen in basement as well as spacious bathroom with bath and excellent shower.
Double bedroom was tight but bed was comfortable. Larger twin bedded room.
Ground floor lounge was fine and garden looked inviting through the rain!!
Stairs, in common with most cottages in or near to historic centre were narrow and steep.
We enjoyed our stay there and Keepers staff as usual responded immediately when contacted about minor issue

Lovely time at the Writer's Cottage
This is a great location for exploring Deal, almost on the High Street but without the hustle and bustle (too close to the fishmongers and French deli if you are planning on leaving the same size as you arrived!) and very close to the seafront. Considering it is in town it is remarkably quiet. I was lucky to experience a mini heat wave when I first arrived so I can see the sheltered garden off the kitchen would be fab for outdoor dining in the summer. Then came the north wind, it was pretty cold out on the seafront (snowed one day !) but sooooo cosy in the cottage it was super to come back after every outing.
The Writer's Cottage has everything you could need for a fantastic break in Deal, I would very much recommend it and also the service received from the Keepers Cottages.
