This is a quirky old cottage situated in a beautiful and quiet part of Deal, very close to the beach and cycling/walking opportunities. We enjoyed many walks, cycle rides and swims as a result. We enjoyed our stay and were not too fazed by the steep stairs and low ceilings as we were expecting them. In general the cottage is well equipped and comfortable - lovely bath, soft bedding and towels and a good supply of kitchen equipment. Items such as washing machine and dishwasher have been cleverly incorporated into the limited space in the cottage. The top bedroom in particular is a lovely space, with the bonus of a delightful sea view. The notable exception in terms of comfort was the sofa as the seat cushions have been replaced by large feather pillows that soon flatten out onto the frame. It really was deeply uncomfortable after about 5 minutes of initial comfort. This can be easily remedied I'm sure by replacing the sofa or seat cushions. We would stay here again if this issue was resolved. We very much appreciated the speedy response from Keeper's Cottages when we contacted them with a couple of queries early on.

Beautiful period cottage, carefully modernised and just a stone’s throw from the sea, near to great pubs, shops, cliff walks, plus the excellent rail link. We enjoyed being car free! We loved the sea view from the top bedroom, dazzling in the morning, and the patio for breakfast. Hot sunny weather and daily sea swims were icing on the cake.

So lucky with the weather in Deal….. cottage rather disappointing. There is limited head room in several areas - couldn’t stand up in the double bedroom ! The furniture and fittings are exhausted and the cottage felt grubby throughout - shame ……

Absolutely love this house. We rented it for 5 weeks and enjoyed every moment. Great location, bags of character, and in generally good condition. Few niggles - it needs new crockery and the knives are blunt, but overall highly recvommended.

We had a lovely stay in Deal and the cottage was very pretty and historic, but we found the low ceilings and spiral stair case a bit challenging.

Enchanting Cottage!
Enchanting Cottage!
We have stayed in Deal a number of times over the last few years, and this lovely cottage was the best place we have been to. Very close to the sea (which can be seen from the main bed-room at the top) but equally close to this wonderful seaside town. Stylishly but sympathetically done up, and beautifully modernised, the cottage had all the things we were looking for - a wood-burning stove, a bathroom with a great bath and a good location. Deal - even for a wintry weekend in November - was as lovely and friendly as ever. Great Christmas shopping in nearby Canterbury. Our only concern is that other Londoners may discover Deal and head down there in increasing numbers...!
