Most wonderful stay

The cottage is lovely and one feels at home immediately. The seafront is a very short walk away and we even had breakfast in the courtyard which is beautiful. Walmer and Deal are always worth a visit with their castles and beautiful landscape such as the white cliffs.

Lovely holiday in Deal

Had a lovely stay in this property that had everything needed for a relaxing stay. The courtyard garden with its water feature and barbecue were a lovely place to chill in the evening.The beach just a stroll away as well as the high street. It was a lovely base to explore all the other areas of Kent and I would recommend staying here to friends and family.

Convenient, well kept house.

Nice house on a very quiet street. Superb kitchen and useful room in the cellar with games (though with steep stairs, mind your head going down). Close to the beach, centre of town, and a Sainsburys so no need to drive around. We had a lovely time visiting nearby towns and just walking on the beach.

Well equipped, comfortable house in great location.

We had a brilliant time in Deal and thoroughly enjoyed staying in this house. It had everything we needed - comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, sunny courtyard and pleasant living space. It was ideally located for the seafront where we spent most of the weekend. Lots of pubs and shops within 10 minutes walk. Communication with the owners before and after our visit was excellent. Highly recommended!

Fantastic weekend stay.

What can I say this place? Well it is fantastic!! Set in the heart of old Deal it is a real gem, spacious with loads of old world charm but with every mod con you could need. We stayed with our 2 teenage son's and we all found it very comfortable. Deal it's self is very charming with loads of bars and eateries with a good selection of shops to have a mooch round. We will definitely return in the future and can't recommend it highly enough.

Great stay - very nice house, spacy, cosy, full equiped, great kichen, clean and with good service

We had a great stay in Deal. The house is very spacy ( biggest in the street) with 3 comfortable bedrooms, a great kitchen with full equipment - very good for self catering - and a seperate dining room, a playroom for children.... Superb service including towels and linnen ( beds were already prepared ☺) and a welcome package . The house is very central, near to high Street, sainsbury and the beach, so you do not need the car in Deal. We enjoyed our stay ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very comfortable house in a quiet street

We had very nice holidays in this house and we highly recommend it. The house is located near the centre of Deal. It is well appointed. The beach with pebble stones (5 min.), the centre (5 min.), shopping facilities (5-10 min.) and the railway station (10 min.) are all within walking distance. From Deal there are hourly trains going to London so that a day trip is possible.

A lovely place in the middle of Deal

We had a great stay in this nice vintage-like place. There was room enough for the five of us. We enjoyed the courtyard for having breakfast and the short walks to the beach and the city centre. Espacially nice was the uncomplicated contact to our landlady Wendy via E-Mail. PS.: We were booking from Germany (fewo-direkt.de), the translated description is a little misleading, because the house is not situated in rural areas or close to the nature but in the historic evironement of the city centre.

The patio is lovely, and the kids liked the the playroom in the basement very much. It's just a five minute walk to the sea, the next pubs, a great fish & chips (highly recommended!), and to the city centre with it's lovely shops. Wendy was most helpful, and we'd love to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Wendy Fenwick

Host profile image

We have lived in the area since 2000 and we love being by the sea and yet in a town at the same time. Our children have grown up in a safe delightful place which is dear to all of us.

Why they chose this property

I have always admired the pretty houses in Deal, particularly in the Conservation area. We love our house because it has character and charm and it is in the heart of a thriving town and yet in a peaceful spot. We enjoy being able to walk everywhere and not need the car. If we want to go to Canterbury or London they are both easily reached by car or public transport.

What makes this property unique

Many of our guests comment on how well equipped the house is. We really do try to provide everything anyone could want on holiday and to make the house as welcoming as possible. We love our house and we want our guests to feel that it is their home during their stay.
