About this house rental
'Somerley' is a delightful spacious cottage located in a quiet road in Deal's historic conservation area and is a few minutes walk from the sea and the centre of Deal. Deal high street was recently voted High Street of the year and Deal has been used for several film sets, Liar and Vanity Fair. The house is a short drive from excellent golf courses and the bus and train stations are both within walking distance. London and Canterbury are within easy reach by road and rail. Deal is conveniently located for day trips to France.
The house was built in the early 1800’s and retains much of its original character. The sitting room and dining room have panelled walls and attractive gas fires. There is comfortable seating and a smart T.V. Guests are welcome to use the books and games in the house.
The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you might need for your visit whether you stay for a relaxing weekend or a summer holiday.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, one double bed, a twin bedded and a single room. In addition to the first floor bathroom, the single room is fitted with a sink. There is a private courtyard garden leading from the french doors in the kitchen, with a restful water feature, which offers a lovely space to sit outside and enjoy summer evenings.
The games room in the cellar is a fun place for adults and children alike, especially if the weather is not so good.
There is free on street parking in Nelson Street and the surrounding streets with a permit and there are several car parks within walking distance. You do not need a car to enjoy Deal as everything is within walking distance from the house.

We had a great stay in this nice vintage-like place. There was room enough for the five of us.
We enjoyed the courtyard for having breakfast and the short walks to the beach and the city centre.
Espacially nice was the uncomplicated contact to our landlady Wendy via E-Mail.
PS.: We were booking from Germany (fewo-direkt.de), the translated description is a little misleading, because the house is not situated in rural areas or close to the nature but in the historic evironement of the city centre.

We had a wonderful time - the house is indeed spacious and kitted out thoughtfully and generously. Our children loved the basement games area. A very quiet location but only a few minutes walk to the High Street. We’d love to stay again.

We had a lovely and comfortable stay at somerley. Cottage was very clean and was the most well equipped holiday cottage we've ever stayed in! Wendy, our host, was attentive to our needs. Location was very centre to everywhere we wanted to visit...Dover castle was 20mins away, sandy beaches at botany bay n joss bay was only 40 mins drive. Deal beach was 10mins walk n we loved our visit to Deal castle n walked along the promenade to Walmer castle. Definitely recommend.

What a fantastic property! Stayed with my husband and two 18+ children. The house was spotless and very well equipped, some places can be a little hit and miss with there kitchen equipment but not here. We usually managed to park on the street only once or twice just round the corner so that wasn’t an issue. Deal itself is a beautiful place with lots of interesting little shops to have a nose around in .
I rarely give above 4 stars but this property deserves all 5 !
4.9
Great comfortable cottage with a lovely small backyard, fully equipped and in walking distance from, city center, station, beach, supermarkets and shops. Even the cellar had games for the kids. Wendy, the landlady, was always of help. I rate five out of five stars. Really to recommend.

The house has everything you would have in your own home, well presented and very comfortable. It's well positioned for all the amenities, we loved being able to walk to the beach. The extra parking permits for the second car were essential, thank you for obtaining them for us.

The property was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and lovingly decorated with pretty homely touches. It has a great location with a short walk to the local shops and strolling down to the beach. Even with 4 adults in our group the cottage felt spacious and we made good use of the courtyard garden. We managed to park right outside the house and we were very grateful for the parking permits.
Our host was very helpful and answered all our questions promptly and provided a very generous welcome pack. We would have no hesitation in staying here again if we came back to visit Deal.
Many thanks again for a lovely weekend away. Alison.

Amazing property in a great location
Amazing property in a great location, just a few minutes walk from the beach and Pier. The house was large enough for our family ( 2 adults and 3 children) it was great to have separate kitchen, lounge and dining room. The bedrooms were a very good size with very comfy beds. The house is well equipped and has everything you could possibly want. It was very clean, and ample towels to last us our whole stay. The courtyard at the back of the house was a lovely private place to sit and eat outside. Excellent communication from the owner on the few occasions we messaged we always got a very quick, helpful response. The house is located close to local bars, restaurants and shops. The perfect place for a stay in Deal, I would highly recommend.

Lovely property
Fantastic stay in Deal. The house is 5 minutes walk from the high street. Deal is ideally located to explore Kent with most important places no more than 30 mins away.
We used the BBQ every night as there was a great butchers in town.
Very comfy house with nice beds and living room.
Highly recommended

Lovely house with real character
We stayed here for the weekend with our two children. It was a perfect break, within walking distance of beautiful Deal and we found the accommodation very well equipped, clean and comfortable. We will definitely go back.

Great place, good location
Lovely well furnished rooms and courtyard, well located for exploring Kent, but also for the beach and the centre of Deal. Owner and housekeeper both very helpful and v clear safety measures for managing COVID-19 risks.

All exactly as described
Immaculately clean and very comfortable and attractive house. Kitchen particularly well equipped. Only very slight niggle was the poor flow of the hot water and the taps in the bathroom sink confused everybody!!

Lovely house very close to the sea
We had a lovely stay and thank the host for great communication on the run up to our stay. The house is great, really well equipped and comfortable. Our kids were chuffed with the big box of Lego to play with, the games room is great but we didn't really need to play in there. The kitchen with the garden area are the real gems to the house. My only little niggle is that the low ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom could be detailed in the listing, just for pre-warning! Both myself and my husband are 6ft and we found the low ceiling in the kitchen quite amusing, bumped into the smoke alarm once of twice in the beginning. It wasn't a huge problem for us, I'm not sure it would have been such a comfortable stay had we been an inch taller!
The house is in a great location, we didn't ever had trouble parking outside the house. Deal is a very special little seaside village, fairly quiet (we went in August) compared to other seaside places in Kent and picturesque with just enough to entertain my 2 young children for the week.
4.9
Very pleasant stay
Just left our lovely terraced house. We had a great stay. It’s really convenient for amenities and the beach. Excellent communication with the owner and it has been very well looked after by Eileen. Occasionally you won’t get parked right outside the house but we had no trouble in neighbouring streets with the parking permit.
4.9
Perfect house in good location
This is a really lovely house and has everything you need. It's very comfortable and in an excellent location. It's a short walk to the High St and the sea. We didn't have any problem parking nearby and a residents' parking voucher is available. We found very good places to eat in the vicinity. Deal is a delightful town and cafe at the end of the pier must not be missed.
4.9
Weekend break
We had a lovely short stay at the cottage, the house is fully equipped with everything you would need and is in a quiet street in the old town with easy access to the beach and the town centre is in walking distance, I would recommend this for families looking for a home from home.

Lovely stay in Deal
We had a great weekend in Deal. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The delicious bread waiting for us was a treat. The house is very close to the main shopping street with its cute independent shops and cafes. The beach was a quick walk away. A few steps out of the house was the weekly Saturday boot sale / market, which was fun for a wander round. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a perfect stay!

Well equipped, comfortable house in great location.
We had a brilliant time in Deal and thoroughly enjoyed staying in this house. It had everything we needed - comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, sunny courtyard and pleasant living space. It was ideally located for the seafront where we spent most of the weekend. Lots of pubs and shops within 10 minutes walk. Communication with the owners before and after our visit was excellent. Highly recommended!

Fantastic weekend stay.
What can I say this place? Well it is fantastic!! Set in the heart of old Deal it is a real gem, spacious with loads of old world charm but with every mod con you could need. We stayed with our 2 teenage son's and we all found it very comfortable. Deal it's self is very charming with loads of bars and eateries with a good selection of shops to have a mooch round. We will definitely return in the future and can't recommend it highly enough.
