We loved the features and particularly the beautiful garden. The owners had gone over and beyond providing things like crockery, condiments etc. Very easy to get to anywhere in Deal from here as central position. A couple of cracks here and there, but the character of the cottage more than made up for that. We'd certainly come back. ##### Cat B.

Sadly we have found another Keepers Cottage property which is quite tired and in need of some tlc. Also would have been nice to know about the basement toilet being a macerator - unpleasant smell at times Sadly we won’t be using keepers cottages again. ##### Jackie P.

Great communication from the team at Keepers Cottages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the heart of Deal with our greyhound. Visited many times before and this property is right in the heart of town with bars, restaurants, and the beach within a few minutes walk. Perfect for our dog with a secure, fully enclosed rear garden and the high street is just at the bottom of the road. Comfortable and warm with well equipped kitchen and upstairs and downstairs w.c. Parking is always at a premium but we managed easily between street parking across the road and parking on the sea front. A great place to stay! ##### Andrew R.

Writers cottage is in a quiet location yet with all the fun things Deal has to offer just around the corner. You are in the center in no time and the beach is just a few minutes away. Writers cottage was perfectly clean and very pleasantly furnished. Add to that the fact that there is a nice garden where it is pleasant to stay on hot days. Or just start the day with a cup of coffee in the morning. Every morning a little squirrel came to take a look in the garden, and it's just nice that a holiday home is so complete. Highly recommended to rent again for a relaxing holiday ##### j v. ### 8/10 Good #### Rainer W. 16 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Deal - Union Road Deal ist eine Reise wert und für ein paar Tage ist das Appartement auch sehr cool, weil sehr zentral gelegen und einen kleinen Garten zum entspannen. Dass es keinen Parkplatz hat, ist nicht so schlimm, man ist schnell an der Seafront.Allerdings ist zu beachten: die Treppen im Haus sind steil und eng. Für vier Personen halte ich das für eine Herausforderunge. Ansonsten alles prima ##### Rainer W.

We have been to Deal numerous times but have never stayed in the town centre. We discovered many more pubs bars and restaurants away from the seafront. The cottage was immaculate as always, if a bit small for 4 adults! Thank you for an fabulous stay.

We had a very nice stay in this well equiped house with nice garden. It's dog friendly and the organisation is very good. Ideal if you want to spend some time on the coat.

Special thanks to the very helpful staff of Keepers Cottages for arranging this cottage at short notice. Location -very good, easy walkable distance to beach, shops and dog-friendly pub. A nicely furnished and well equipped modernised property. The shower floor needs an optional shower safety mat as it was alarmingly slippery when wet, for us oldies! We were unable to access any table linen or mats as they were presumably kept in the adjacent locked cupboard? Some confusion over rubbish bin - no access via back gate which was padlocked. Note to owner: the instructions for the TV were inaccurate as the input to be selected was HDM1, rather than HDM12.

It’s on a quiet street with a backyard but inches away from the coffee shops and restaurants that make Deal a fun place to visit. The house itself is charming and is beautifully designed and furnished. An ideal place for a couple or a family of 4. ##### Simon L.

A cosy place in an ideal location to explore Deal and the great things it has to offer from history to dining out. The Cottage was immaculately clean, lots of nice extra touches, well stocked with appliances and all you need stuff. Lovely garden. Could not fault this place and would highly recommend it. ##### Sean T.

There is a luxurious bath and a cute garden, and the well-stocked honesty bar was a lovely touch. Bonus points for being on the more independent and foodie end of the High St. ##### Max T.

Perfect for 4 plus dog. The garden was such a luxury in the centre of Deal and lovely to be able to walk to the restaurants and beach so easily. The cottage had everything we needed, with lovely touches around the place. Thank you for a wonderful stay. ##### Rosanna I. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Heather H. 19 Jul 2021 #### A delightful stay Although we know Deal very well, this was the first time we have stayed in the centre of town and we loved it. The cottage was very welcoming and, for once, the sofas were comfortable with good support for the back. We liked the garden, but would have preferred the lawn to have been mowed. The kitchen ware was excellent and we really valued having a toilet on the same floor as the bedrooms. Deal was as great as ever and Miretti's cakes and coffee still wonderful. PS We parked in the Market place car park for approx £5 a day. As Londoners, used to expensive parking, this was fine. There is also a car park around the corner in West Street. ##### Heather H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### John G. 25 Jun 2021 #### Typical Deal cottage We just spent two days in this small but comfortable cottage close to the High Street and short walk to sea front. Car parking (£6/day) close by. Well equipped kitchen in basement as well as spacious bathroom with bath and excellent shower. Double bedroom was tight but bed was comfortable. Larger twin bedded room. Ground floor lounge was fine and garden looked inviting through the rain!! Stairs, in common with most cottages in or near to historic centre were narrow and steep. We enjoyed our stay there and Keepers staff as usual responded immediately when contacted about minor issue ##### John G.

Considering it is in town it is remarkably quiet. I was lucky to experience a mini heat wave when I first arrived so I can see the sheltered garden off the kitchen would be fab for outdoor dining in the summer. Then came the north wind, it was pretty cold out on the seafront (snowed one day !) but sooooo cosy in the cottage it was super to come back after every outing. The Writer's Cottage has everything you could need for a fantastic break in Deal, I would very much recommend it and also the service received from the Keepers Cottages. ##### niamh h. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coppid Beech Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bracknell-Hotels-The-Coppid-Beech-Hotel.h3809.Hotel-Information) > > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information)
