Description from owner

Description

Just a seagull’s hop from the sea Seashell Cottage is a charming and peaceful home away from home.

Deal is the perfect holiday or weekend destination and its award-winning High Street lined with quirky independent shops, markets and cafés is just a short walk away along the unspoilt promenade. Closer still is the Strand, where you’ll find the green and bandstand, a family run bakery, pubs, convenience stores and a café serving brilliant breakfasts complete with sea view. You can even buy freshly caught fish direct from the boatmen on the beach.

Free WiFi, Sky TV

Deal itself is a picturesque Georgian seaside town with two Tudor castles, local museums and a striking modernist pier all worth a visit. Within a thirty minute drive are Dover Castle, the cathedral city of Canterbury and the major shopping outlet at Ashford. If you prefer two legs or two wheels, there are plenty of country and coastal paths and trails just waiting to be explored.

For golfers, the area boasts no less than three superb British Open courses – Royal St. Georges, Royal Cinque Ports and Princes.

Also within reach are the Turner Contemporary, Dreamland and the extraordinary shell grotto in Margate, Dickensian Broadstairs, Ramsgate’s Royal Harbour, Whitstable and the picturesque Medieval streets of Sandwich.

Head out into the countryside and you’ll find Wingham Wildlife Park, Howletts and Wildwood – all fantastic places to see animals up close and personal.

And of course, France is a mere 20 miles away if you fancy stocking up the cellar.

Wherever your day takes you, Seashell Cottage is the perfect place to return to. It has been tastefully renovated to a very high standard, with a light and airy lounge, dining room and galley kitchen downstairs, and two spacious double bedrooms and toilet upstairs. Outside, the garden is the ideal spot to enjoy an al fresco aperitif.

Dogs are very welcome at Seashell Cottage (as you’ll find they are in many pubs and cafés in Deal) but no smoking, please, for the comfort and enjoyment of our non-smoking guests.

“Calm and comfort in Deal”

Reviewed 17 Aug 2020

Cottage is ideally positioned on a quiet street, two minutes walk from the beach. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The living room is well furnished, and the kitchen, although small, is well equipped. The outside space is pleasant. The 9nly negative is the steep staircase, which requires careful negotiation.

“Lovely Holiday!”

Reviewed 28 Aug 2018

Just had a lovely week staying in this cute cottage. Two adults and two teenagers and three dogs! Perfect area for walking the dogs in the morning leaving the teenagers in bed! Went out in the afternoons to all the lovely places to visit;we especially liked Sandwich, Broadstairs and Canterbury. LOADS of great cafes in the area. Deal is a lovely base and we were always happy to go back to the cosy cottage in the evenings. If I was being picky I would have liked a shower and a bigger fridge although I don't think there's the space! Also, be nice if the back yard was tarted up a bit. Other than that, it's a great little cottage and would definitely recommend.
