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 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.

Fantastic time

Fantastic time

On arrival and entry into Captains Cottage the entire family fell in love with the property. The rear bedroom gave an excellent view of a field when young fox cubs could be seen playing. The town is only a short walk away as is the beach. The Blue Mermaid sells the most fanatastic Cod fish andf chips (in the top 10 UK). Broadstairs is only a quarter of an hours drive and has an amazing beach. The family didn´t want to leave they enjoyed the holiday so much. The kettle in the kitchen was so impressive I bought one.

LACK OF ATTENTION TO REAR GARDEN, WHICH WAS DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING.

LACK OF ATTENTION TO REAR GARDEN, WHICH WAS DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING.

THE GARDEN WAS NOT AS SHOWN IN THE DETAILS, IT WAS VERY OVER GROWN. THE TRELLIS ON THE WALL WAS FALLING DOWN AND THE CLIMBERS WERE SO TANGLED, THE POTS WERE WEEDY AND THE PLANTS DEAD. WE HAD TO BORROW SOME LOPPERS FROM A NEIGHBOUR SO THAT WE COULD CLEAR A SPACE FOR THE TABLE. WE WERE TOLD WE COULD ACCESS THE ALLEYWAY FOR THE RUBBISH BUT THE GATE WAS LOCKED AND THERE NO KEY. WE LEFT THE RUBBISH OUTSIDE THE FRENCH WINDOWS IN THE WRONG BAGS AS THERE WERE NO BLACK SACKS ETE. KEEPERS COTTAGES SHOULD CHECK THE COTTAGES REGULARLY AND ALSO UPDATE THE DETAILS.

A peaceful holiday

A beautiful house with lots of space and tastefully decorated. The town of Deal is very friendly with lots of good cafes and restaurants The walks along the pebbled beach were wonderful and Walmer castle well worth visiting. Only suggestion would be to provide a better welcome pack.

Comfortable

Comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay at Captain’s Cottage The location is ideal, being close to the sea and town centre Whilst there is no parking outside the cottage (residents only for periods over 2 hrs), there is parking along from the castle so it wasn’t a problem. The cottage itself is lovely - lots of space and well equipped. The beds are very comfortable and the showers are good too. Camilla and the team provided all necessary information and answered any queries promptly. Highly recommended.

A home from home in beautiful Deal

A home from home in beautiful Deal

We loved staying in Captain's Cottage, Deal. The house was very well equipped, clean and tidy - and it felt really homely. We stayed with our children and Camilla and the team provided excellent instructions and information on the local area. Parking was a bit of a juggle as the road has restricted parking, but it certainly didn't spoil the holiday - just worth noting if you need car access close by. I would definitely recommend using Keepers Cottages and hope to be paying another visit to this lovely part of the world.

Lovely house with lots of books

Lovely house with lots of books

This is a charming house with a seaside decor. It is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The house was spotless when we arrived. Kudos to the cleaning team. We particularly enjoyed the eclectic array of books and maps. Parking is a bit tricky but not impossible to get a spot in the street. The beach is close by across an admittedly busy road. You can walk to the main High Street in 5 minutes. We will definitely return.

The house was lovely, very clean and much more spacious than it appeared from the outside. Three lovely airy double bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of room downstairs for socialising. We also found an excellent stash of board games!
