Second stay
We had such a great time for the second time. It’s a really lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and in a perfect location. It’s so peaceful but minutes from the shops and pubs. It’s a little on the expensive side which stops us staying for longer, but it is really lovely.

Cozy
This is a great little cottage, has all the amenities and is a five minute walk from the town centre and sea front. There's lots of places to eat and drink in Deal and there's great walking along the coast.

Cosy cottage in the heart of Deal
Our second stay at Cow and Cockle. This lovely cottage for two, is ideally situated in the centre of Deal. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and we would happily stay there again. Please note however: the stairs are quite steep.

A nice stay in a cute cottage
Everything in our service with Keepers’ was great. They were responsive to me on the phone and helped me book with ease. Very grateful. The cottage itself was comfy and cosy.

Lovely weekend stay for one. Perfect location, easy access to necessities.
A perfectly located cottage. Walking distance to train station, car parks, supermarkets, and - more importantly - the high street, market, pier and shore. Booked for one person, the perfect size. Good for couples too who are out and exploring - might be a little tight if two are staying indoors. Warm, cozy and very comfortable. Reasonably priced for off-peak. Lovely people at the booking office if you need to get in contact, very helpful.

A lovely, small, cozy cottage
A lovely, small, cozy cottage, right near the center of Deal. It has everything one could wish for: a fully equipped kitchen, a charming little backyard with seating area, and comfortable beds. Perfect for a couple. We've been booking with Keepers Cottage since 2016 and once again were very satisfied with the service. Everything was very clean, and check-in and check-out were easy.

Fantastic location. Lovely little cottage.
We loved staying here. Tiny cottage but everything you need. In a great position for the seafront and local shops, bars, cafes. The stairs are extremely steep so not recommended for anyone who might find that tricky but no other issues. Good communication with the management team and just as the listing promised.

Cosy cottage
We enjoyed our second stay at this cosy cottage, which is well located for the town and seafront only a short walk away. The cottage had everything we needed and the welcome gift was much appreciated. We had one issue with the heated towel rail which was promptly dealt with by the friendly owner. We look forward to staying here again.

Perfect small bolthole for a short break
A great cottage for 2 for a short stay in Deal. The cottage is small, but well designed and furnished, creating a very comfortable place for a short break. The stairs are steep and narrow, especially for those of us with large feet!, but that's a minor gripe. The location is perfect and it is handy to have the management company based just around the corner in case of problems. I hesitate to provide too positive a review, as we will definitely return and want to make sure there is availability!

Small but perfectly formed
We spent a lovely weekend at the Cow and Cockle. We found everything just as we had hoped. The cottage is well equipped for cooking and relaxing. The location is very convenient for the historic centre of Deal. Deal itself is pretty, and the market on Saturday is well worth visiting. We walked along the coastal path to Dover (a bit far, to be honest, but the countryside was pretty and we just kept walking).

cow and cockle
Lovely quaint cottage in central Deal just off the High St. 5 mins walk from beach. Good eating and drinking options close by. Plenty of free parking very near. In principle it can accommodate three, but not comfortably. Perfect for two adults. Very cosy We would definitely return!

Great Deal
Great 2 night stay in this compact, well decorated and furnished cottage in the Deal conservation area. Close to the beach, railway station, car park and all the shops, excellent bars and fabulous restaurants in and around the busy High Street but just far enough away to be very calm and peaceful at night. Excellent communication & personal service from Keepers Cottages, a long established local holiday rental company with expert local knowledge and great people you can actually talk to which seems to be increasingly rare these days. We are delighted to recommend Deal, Keepers Cottages and this property to any couple looking for a fabulous break any time of year.

Wonderful
Lovely cottage, well equipped. It says there is an iron and ironing board, the board was available but no iron. Unfortunately the weather wasn't brilliant so we were unable to take advantage of the lovely outside area. Would certainly stay again.

Cute little cottage right in the centre of Deal
This is a tiny one up/ one down cottage which is perfect for 2 people for a weekend. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook, and everything is clean and modern. It's really central for walking around Deal, with lots of good places to eat and drink very nearby. It was very cosy once we had the log burner going. The only things that weren't so comfortable were the bed, which was a little soft with a slight dip in the mattress, and the TV which is far too high on the wall which means having to lean right back with your head bent back.

Excellent location for cafes, bars, sea and walking.
A lovely, snug, little house with everything close at hand. The bed was comfortable, the shower powerful and the location perfect. Lovely treats left and plentiful logs for the fire.

Loved the quirky cottage which was very clean and well equipped. Ideally located for shops and restaurants. The little garden was perfect for enjoying a drink in the evening. Would definitely stay here again.
