New Year break in Deal

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cow and Cockle cottage over the New Year period. The cottage was perfect for our needs - it was well equipped, clean, warm and cosy. Set within the historic conservation area, it was close to a selection of lovely pubs, cafes and eateries, Deal train station, supermarkets, the beach etc.. As well as enjoying taking the train to Margate, Ramsgate and Canterbury, there is so much to see and do locally even in the December/January. Particular highlights for us included walking to Walmer Castle and Gardens, visiting Deal Timeball Tower and seeing the timeball being raised and lowered on New Year’s Eve, brunch at the lovely Deal Pier Cafe, drinks at the Deal Ahoy pub, Le Panadier Wine shop and bar. Deal has so much to offer, we would love to revisit. A special thank you to Finders Keepers and the owners of the property who were extremely helpful.

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.

Cosy cottage in the heart of Deal

Loved our time in Deal, and the Cow and Cockle provided a great home base for our journey.

We stayed in Deal for personal reasons, and the Cow and Cockle acted as an amazing home base for our travels in the region. We were amazed at how cozy the cottage was, and it provided everything we needed for cooking meals, planning adventures and a great night’s sleep. On our last day we managed to lock ourselves out of the property, and the staff at Keepers Cottages were very quick to respond and were extremely helpful in getting us back in to the property promptly. Extremely relieving that they were there to help us get back to what we were ultimately there to do: rest and relax! We loved our time in Deal, and the team at Keepers Cottages provided us with an experience that we will remember for a lifetime.

Lovely cottage and town

The cottage had everything you needed for two and welcome gesture was also very thoughtful. We had never been to Deal and was extremely pleased we picked it, also cottage was in a very ideal position to all amenities from shops, beaches, pubs cafes all on your doorstep. At the weekend all the pubs had live bands playing music and one evening we travelled round them them listening to the different groups ( actually we were on our way home and ended up being out all evening) We also enjoyed the walks along the coast and will definitely visit Deal again, also had no problems with the parking for the cottage.

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.

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.

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 location, cottage a bit disappointing

The location was amazing and the cottage was super clean and decorated really nicely. It was a lot smaller than the photos showed (I always expect photos will exaggerate but the place was tiny). The bed was very uncomfortable, to the point that I had to leave a night early because I couldn't get to sleep which is very unusual for me. There was a terrible smell of damp in the cottage, which also stopped me being there regularly, despite booking it to get work done. Despite the fantastic location and lovely style of the cottage, I wouldn't stay again and really would expect to be refunded for the final night, as the smell and bed really ruined the experience.

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.
