About this property

A charming, quirky terraced fisherman's cottage situated in the Deal Conservation Area, only 30 yards from the beach and within a few minutes' walk to the centre of Deal. Comfortably furnished, this Deal cottage dates back to 1801 and offers an ideal base for families and friends wishing to explore this part of the Kent coastline. The well-equipped kitchen at this Deal cottage looks onto a dining area and sitting area, offering a welcoming place to relax whatever the time of year. Each side of the inglenook fireplace in this Deal cottage are staircases which lead up to the bedrooms, and to add to its quirky character, all three rooms are interlinked by doors, and you can hear the sea from two of the bedrooms, meaning you can drift off to sleep to the sounds of the sea lapping on the shoreline. On long summer evenings, step into the courtyard garden at this Kent cottage where you can enjoy a glass or two, or maybe a spot of alfresco dining. You can be paddling in the sea or fishing from the beach in just a minute's walk, or treading along the famous Middle Street with its well-worn cobbles under which are the tunnels used by smugglers to bring in the 'booty'; right under the eyes and feet of the Custom Men. Deal is now more famous for its bistro and bars, quaint shops and shoreline, museums and markets, and of course no visitor should leave the town without visiting one of the castles. All of this and more are on the doorstep of this lovely Deal cottage.

The Georgian coastal town of Deal offers two castles, two small museums and two weekly markets, as well as a shops, pubs and restaurants. There are two golf courses, the Royal Cinque Ports and Kingsdown within an easy distance, plus Dover and Canterbury are within driving distance.

    We loved it as much this time as we did on our first stay. It is near the town, near the sea and importantly for us near The Royal Hotel, which is a family favourite. The cottage is warm, well stocked and extremely welcoming. The owner responds quickly to any concerns and questions. We will definitely be returning to this little piece of paradise.

    Location - almost on the beach was brilliant - late at night you could actually hear the waves crashing into the beach. Parking - no issue. Cottage - lovely just as described right down to the challenging stairs . The only problem with the cottage was the bathroom which really let the place down - dirty /old grouting behind the sink - poor anti slip bath mat - shower over bath not very effective turned hot/cold without warning if someone ran another tap - shower over bath so awkward for getting in/out especially as no additional hand rails to stop you slipping - tiling /grouting around base of toilet a bit ugh . Basically the bathroom really let the cottage down as everywhere else in the cottage was lovely and so comfortable.

    We had everything we needed. It was lovely to be lulled to sleep by the rolling of the waves which we could also hear from the little sheltered courtyard. Plenty of good places to eat and drink all within walking distance. It was nice not to have to go to a supermarket thanks to good quality reasonably priced local shops. Seashell Cottage was the perfect base for a relaxed stay.
