A lovely Grade II listed terraced fisherman's cottage quietly tucked away in the heart of the conservation area built during the 1790s in the historic Kent town of Deal. Just a stone's throw from the beach, this cottage has been thoughtfully and lovingly renovated and is perfect for families and friends looking to enjoy a traditional seaside holiday and to explore the coastline and castles that this part of Kent is famous for. This cottage is full of character and retains many original features including deep sash windows, extensive wood panelling, original bedroom doors and an inglenook fireplace. The modern, fitted kitchen is well-equipped for you to prepare delicious meals that can be enjoyed in the adjoining conservatory, giving an alfresco feel to all meals. Two sitting rooms give plenty of space and an escape for those who just fancy a quiet evening in with a good book. Spiral stairs lead up to three attractive bedrooms spread over the two upper floors along with a family bathroom on the first level. Enjoy a meal in the courtyard garden, a superb sun trap, and settle down for a taste of the sea. Fresh fish is sold daily along the harbour as the fishing boats bring in their catch, and with the beach just a couple of minutes walk away, you are perfectly located to enjoy all of the delights of the town. The shops, tea rooms and inns are all on the doorstep along with a weekly market and of course, the remains of the stunning Deal Castle which gives a fascinating insight into the history of the area. Whether it is a quiet beach holiday that you are after or a touring base to discover this magical part of Kent, this cottage is an ideal holiday choice all year round.

Very close to the beach. Very good eateries, all in walking distance. For facilities and comfort, this is one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

Location is so perfect and although we had to pay (£10 per 24hrs) we had no trouble getting parked nearby and a bit further away were free spaces. Great communication in advance of stay and a pack with everything you need to know. Highly recommend.

We are two families (siblings) travelling together and have enough space for everyone, even in the conservatory, although we had to move together a little bit, but we managed quite well. The owner of the cottage always cared for our concerns and offered a lot of suggestions for our holiday. The location could not be better and is very close to the beach with a lovely walk in both directions: Sandown Castle Community Gardens on the one end of the beach promenade has to offer a food and tea truck and is great for a tea break. To the other side you can walk to Walmer castle and further on⦠Donât miss the coastal walk to (or from) Dover Castle with an irremissible stop at The Zetland Arms Inn in Kingsdown. Superb! And you also have a great pub in Deal nearby, the Ship Inn, which we loved very much. We hope that we can return to the cottage and the lovely town!
