About this apartment rental

Welcome to Captain’s Cottage, this bright & airy property has 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms & a large kitchen/dining room. There is a pretty enclosed garden with casual seating. When you enter through the front door of Captain’s Cottage, you’ll be in no doubt that you are close to the sea as you explore the house & note the crisp blue & white coastal décor, stripped floorboards & interesting coastal finds carefully arranged in this lovely home.

The attractive, 2 storey property is located on Gilford Road, which is just a stone’s throw from Deal Castle, the famous seafront & all local amenities. Captain’s Cottage would suit couples, families or a small group of friends. There are 2 reception rooms, a large kitchen with an attractive dining area & a large, modern log burning fire, perfect for chilly nights!

The second reception room/study, benefits from a sofa bed which is large enough for an adult or 2 children. There are 2 bathrooms one located on the ground floor & 3 immaculately presented double bedrooms, all on the first floor.

Parking is limited on Gilford Road, however due to the central location, once you have arrived & unloaded your vehicle, you can park in one of the nearby streets for free & hopefully not need to use your car during your stay. The property is a short walk from Deal train station.

Captain's Cottage provided us with the perfect place to stay. It is roomy and comfortable with tasteful decorative details. It is well equipped, especially in the kitchen. The accommodation is roomy and attractive. We love Deal and Captain's Cottage is a great place to stay for access to the beach, the town and local attractions.

Captain's Cottage is definitely the best equipped and most comfortable cottage we have stayed in and once you have learned to negotiate the nearby road system, an easy walk to the promenade and beach. Had two of the best meals ever at The Rose and Frog & Scot - delightful atmosphere in both places and excellent staff. Deal is a thriving, pretty town and well worth at least a morning wandering around. Showers are powerful and easy to operate. What more can I say! We will be back! Lady Bee, Oxon June 2024

We had a lovely long weekend at The Captains Cottage. The location is good for both Deal and Walmer. The house was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Wifi good enough to do some work zoom meetings while there.

Our stay was comfortable and most satisfactory for a celebration with family nearby. Clean and well equipped; an amazing wide-ranging library kept us dipping into books all week. The woodburner was enjoyed too - more fuel please. Excellent showers, grab bars for oldies so helpful. Deal is fab! Christmas market, individual owner shops, brunch at the pier cafe. Permit parking road does give visitors a challenge - cannot dodge that. But it was very good overall.

This is second time 3 friends and I have have stayed at the Captains Cottage. The house is spacious and comfortable with excellent facilities. It is located just behind Deal castle so very close to the sea. The only downside is that the surrounding properties are rather run down. This does not negatively impact on the fact that this is a lovely house to stay in. The fact that we chose to return says it all.
