Description

This delightful Grade II listed house built circa 1750 is a true step back in time, sympathetically furnished with antique furniture and some lovely art, plus wonderful original features and located in the heart of Deal's old town.  The accommodation is arranged over 3 floors and comfortably sleeps 6 people with the possibility of an additional fold up bed for a child.  The house is bright and airy with large sash windows and is only a few yards from the seafront and promenade where you can still find fishing boats pulled up on  the shingle beach just south of the pier. Deal is full of quirky independent shops, great little cafes and some very good restaurants, 81 Beach Street being one of them, where you can benefit from the Exclusively For You offer available to our guests.  There is an attractive courtyard garden to enjoy a morning coffee or aperitif whilst listening to the sea, with a rear access gate for bicycles if needed.  The cycle path along the seafront stretches all the way to Kingsdown where you will find The Zetland Arms pub on the beach, passing both Walmer and Deal castle on the way.  Head inland to discover the lovely Kent countryside dotted with vineyards, orchards and woodland or have a day out in the stunning medieval city of Canterbury - only 40 minutes drive.  Shop: 1 mile            Pub: 100 yards            Coast: 50 yards

Reviews

Beautiful period property just on the edge of Deal Old town and a minute from the sea.All shops,bars and restaurants are a15min walk away. Peaceful location. Comfortable beds. Comprehensively equipped kitchen.Light and airy sitting room. A perfect week by the seaside.

Mr L,

This is a great house, so close to beach, we swam every morning! There are lots of stairs, so if you are sleeping on the top floor you have four flights from the kitchen to your bedroom. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with ample pots and pans, cutlery and crockery. We used the courtyard garden a lot for breakfasts and relaxing. We would definitely stay again.

Mrs S,

We were a party of 6. Elderly parents were able to manage the stairs and enjoyed their stay in the superking bed with massive en-suite. We walked to Victual restaurant on our first night . Lovely run place with good food. Weather was very good and spent a lot of time strolling up the promenade and sitting on the various benches, watching the world go by. The town house is situated in a perfect location and the roads were very quiet. Wa expecting to be woken by noisy gulls in the morning but this didn`t happen. Laurence had thought of everything to make a stay comfortable. We didn`t think we would use the courtyard but we all used it a lot. Laurence is a very good host and was happy to assist me with something before our arrival which was very kind. We would definitely stay again and also thought what a great winter stay the house would make also. Thanks again Laurence. July 2023

Past Customer,

Gorgeous house in the heart of Deal, 2 mins to beach and 5 mins walk to town. We found parking easily, close to house. We didn`t cook but if you do this is the best stocked kitchen I have stayed in! Furniture delightful, bedding and towels super white. Host very proactive in communications and very clear instructions. Would love a return visit. July 2023

Charming property in a great location. Would recommend. Jan 2023

Past Customer,

Laurence was a super host and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The house is fantastic, one of those places that would be marvellous to own. Great location, clean and homely. And I have to mention - so well equipped. Obviously a well loved and looked after seaside home from home. We loved the kitchen in the basement, and the lounging area was such a cosy space. We had a delightful stay at Laurence`s house. It was perfect to spend Christmas in. Even down to the real Christmas tree beautifully decorated, flowers and other decorations all very tasteful. There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen so cooking a Christmas meal was easy. The beds were really comfortable so we all slept well. It is just a few steps up o the promenade and pier to watch the Boxing Day swim, We didn`t want to leave. Dec 2022

Past Customer,

Great location and idyllic spot for what we needed. A beautiful seaside stay within walking distance to shops and great food stops as well. Laurences`s home is beautifully designed with very cosy beds. Nov 2022

Past Customer,

Very good location - beach 2 minutes or less to left or less to right and 7 to 10 minutes from high street, Beds comfortable, beautiful decor and house very well equipped. Parking not an issue- could unload easily in street and park for free nearby (and we were 3 cars). April 2023

Past Customer,

Lovely property. Super location. Wonderful pubs nearby. April 2023

Past Customer,

Big and cosy. Four floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, one small backyard. Seconds from the sea and just minutes from the heart of the town. Well equipped kitchen, modern bathrooms, crisp white sheets and plenty of fresh towels. Strong wi-fi across the house, hi-fi and TV (with Netflix) in the lounge. The place has a classic feel, antique furniture, heritage colour pallets, vintage rugs. If you don`t mind a few stairs, and don`t need lots of private outdoor space, I`d recommend this homely house, perfect for a trio of couples or a family booking for a comfy seaside base. March 2023
