About this cottage rental

Dragon Cottage is an 18th Century Smugglers Cottage. It is situated in the picturesque conservation area of Deal and is within a stone's throw of the beach. It has a cosy sitting room with log fire and squishy sofa. The well equipped kitchen diner is roomy and has a comfy chair as well as the formal dining area. The courtyard garden is a sun trap and has a BBQ area as well as table and chairs. There is a steep staircase to the upper floor so this property is not suited to anyone with mobility difficulties.

This lovely cottage suited us perfectly, right in the heart of Deal with a car park 2 minutes walk away, free overnight with an electric point for our plug-in car, but you did have to pay during the day. It was clean and comfortable with a sunny yard that would have been great to sit out in if the sun had shone! Our aged Labrador felt very welcome. We did lots of walking, to Sandwich and Broadstairs, had a day in Canterbury and a very stormy day walking by the sea through Margate. Thank you so much to the hosts, we’ve returned to SE London, refreshed and renewed

I stayed at Dragon Cottage a few years ago, and I was delighted to find everything as beautiful as I remembered it on my second visit. Communications and check-in were a breeze, the house is so welcoming and cosy, with everything thoughtfully provided for a comfortable getaway. A few steps to the charming Deal market on Saturday morning, a stone's throw to the beach for long seafront walks, wonderful little shops, pubs and restaurants nearby (excellent fish & chips just down the road!). The place oozes history and charm. I slept so well in the comfy bed, and loved my evenings in the elegant sitting room, reading in front of the fire. A well-equipped kitchen let me cook my own meals when I didn't eat out. I can't wait for my next stay!

Really clean, really comfortable and a lovely sun trap courtyard. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Complimentary toiletries and robes were a welcome bonus. Great location in the centre of the conservation area with easy access to the lovely independent shops on the High Street. Best chippy and pub are 2 minutes walk away. Excellent communications with host Pippa and early check in was so helpful. We coughed up for parking in the Union Road car park as it was so convenient and just added daily rate £8 to the cost of the holiday. We love Deal and we will be back. Thanks so much for a great break Pippa.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy, characterful cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and ideally located right in the centre of Deal, just a few minutes walk from both shops and beach.

Great holiday cottage

Great holiday cottage

The cottage was lovely. It was close to the town and to sea front. There was plenty of space and everything we needed. Extras such as jam and teabags and dressing gowns and slippers added a splash of luxury. Nothing too much trouble for the hosts as they arranged an extra days stay. The log/coal fire was great. Plenty of plates and items in the kitchen. Towels for the beach. No problem finding places to park both in the long stay car park and free spaces in the sea front. We will definitely stay again. A lovely cottage.

We really enjoyed our time here. The cottage is close to the sea and all the great shops on the high street. It’s in the historic part of Deal. All v clean and well equipped. We were grateful for the basket of biscuits and jams and the Nespresso coffee. There is a sweet little terrace too. Our only issue was that we would personally have liked a firmer mattress in the main bedroom. But all in all perfect for a couple of fun days in Deal. .

This extremely well equipped cottage is beautifully decorated and extremely cosy. Would be a lovely place to cosy-up in the winter months with the log fire and blankets and in the summer, when we stayed, the beach is a minute away and strolling around the town is a joy. Recommended!

Practically perfect in every way!

What a lovely place to stay. Dragon Cottage was perfect for our winter break in Deal. So well located near the seafront, shops and restaurants. The cottage itself is lovely. Well equipped and cosy. Loved the kitchen and enjoyed some happy mealtimes at the table with a glass or two of wine. The living room has a real fire which we enjoyed lighting once or twice as in February with it being a tad cold, we couldn’t resist it, wonderful! Upstairs the bedroom was again well equipped and what a cosy bed! It was hard to get up in the mornings but the delights of Deal just about won out. So many lovely touches such as a welcome hamper with biscuits, tea, coffee jams, marmalade and my favourite MARMITE. Towel bathrobes, shower gel and shampoos. Ice cubes already prepared in the large fridge freezer. A bit cold for us to stay out in but we imagine the little courtyard garden with table and chairs will be great in the summer season. We visited the busy high street, bought some lovely food from the deli and the Saturday market. The walk into Walmer was good as we had sunshine every day of our stay. We had a great curry at Dine India and really like The Bohemian pub. The cafe at the end of the pier sells the most amazing scotch eggs. We have had a wonderful time in Dragon Cottage, we will return...it’s a done DEAL!

We have thoroughly enjoyed staying in the cottage. All very clean, very cosy and for us Germans it is a true cottage from olden days. The town Deal has still got the true English touch one looks out for in an oldish town. We have had a lovely holiday and can strongly recommend Dragon Cottage.

A stay that will never be forgotten!

We loved staying at Dragon Cottage and was very sad to leave it. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay extremely comfortable, including making the sun shine! Parking up the beach front was no problem at all and we were easily able to unload (and reload) out front of the cottage. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and got to do some lovely walks directly from the cottage. Joining English Heriage is a must before you go as Deal, Walmer and (20 mins down the road) Dover Castle are all part of that group. Plenty of shops, restaurants and two big supermarkets in a very short distance from the cottage oh and a chip shop almost opposite! A big thank you to the owners for sharing their cottage!

Stunning, amazing and beautifuly presented. Home from Home

The word amazing doesn’t quite cover Dragon Cottage. The cottage itself is stunning and immaculate and the attention to detail that the owners add is something else. We stayed over New Year so the cottage had the Christmas decorations up, it’s clear a lot of thought had gone into those. The cottage has everything you need, the kitchen is fully equipped as are the toiletries in the bathroom. And an amazing array of books to choose from too. Two things I like to be spot on whilst I’m away is a restful nights sleep and a decent shower, the cottage ticked both those boxes. The double bed was comfy and the shower has plenty of umpf. We had a power cut whilst there (someone cut through a cable in the road) we spoke to Simon who couldn’t have been more helpful and apologetic - these things happen. For us it made for the perfect evening. We lit the fire and opened a bottle of wine. The cottage is perfectly located at in Deal, with great walks along the seafront in both directions and a high street just a short walk away. I cannot rave enough about Dragon Cottage, we will definitely be returning. I have fallen in love with Deal and the cottage. Thank you Pippa and Simon for making this cottage a fantastic place to stay.
