  Lovely comfortable historic cottage and well equipped.

  Cosy and warm as we booked for March/early April which is still quite early in the season. Great to be able to see the sea from the main bedroom which was very smart. Plenty of bedding, comfortable beds and a quiet neighbourhood for a good nights sleep.Everything was very handy, seafront, shops, station and supermarkets. Our grown up family managed ok in the smaller bedrooms (they came for the long Easter weekend) and also with the one bathroom. Had to use the stool for fifth person at the dinner table! Loved the patio area, although we didn’t sit out there it makes the whole cottage feel light and airy. The stairs are steep as listed, but the set that are carpeted felt much safer! We came for walks and plenty of sea air! Weather although unsettled at times did not stop us doing anything we had planned. Deal, Sandwich, Kingsdown, White Cliffs walk from Dover, all very nice. Would recommend “Goose on the Green” in Walmer for brunch.

  We enjoyed our stay at Seashell cottage however parking was an issue.

  There is free parking on the seafront when you turn left at the bottom of North st BUT you just have to get lucky as it’s always full... I hate to think what it’s like in the summer! Also, there are 2 staircases in seashell cottage.. one should be avoided by small children or people a little unsteady on their feet as they’re just glossed wood and very slippery.. both very steep and twisty as you’d expect in a old cottage but I told my children to avoid the glossed wood staircase because I didn’t want any accidents. Also cleaning needs to be stepped up, I found some dodgy looking stains on a mattress protector and lots of cobwebs in the property not to mention dirty plates and an oven that I needed to clean before using. Seashell cottage is set in a great location and there’s lots to see in Deal, the cottage is well equipped too. I would return here but definitely not in the summer as I don’t think we’d get parking.

  We had a wonderful holiday here, Thank You, and fortunately just before Covid-19 Lockdown in March 2020.

  The property is very charming, nicely decorated and most importantly very clean and tidy, very well equipped, warm and peaceful, in fact all you could wish for from a holiday cottage. We especially liked the conservatory for meal times morning and evening.The property location was charming too, very near the railway, and with a few super friendly sheep a few doors down, to the right, to visit and fed was a bonus too, to any animal lover. It was really good to be so near the small train station and to be able to catch the train into Canterbury within 6 minutes, it really enhanced our holiday. The village is very small and peaceful, with a lovely riverside walk and green spaces, plus a small but adequate village shop. Thank you very much for the wonderful welcome basket too, full of lovely essentials and treats.

  The info from the owner prior to arrival was amazing.

  Location - almost on the beach was brilliant - late at night you could actually hear the waves crashing into the beach. Parking - no issue. Cottage - lovely just as described right down to the challenging stairs . The only problem with the cottage was the bathroom which really let the place down - dirty /old grouting behind the sink - poor anti slip bath mat - shower over bath not very effective turned hot/cold without warning if someone ran another tap - shower over bath so awkward for getting in/out especially as no additional hand rails to stop you slipping - tiling /grouting around base of toilet a bit ugh . Basically the bathroom really let the cottage down as everywhere else in the cottage was lovely and so comfortable.

  We had a lovely time!

  In a quiet area but just across road to beach! Not far into town, about 5-10 minutes walk where there are a lot of independent shops and cafes! The pier isn't far to walk to either with a restaurant at the end! There are buses to Dover and Canterbury, and the train station is about 15 minute walk with trains to Folkestone, Dover and Ramsgate where you can change for other trains to places like Margate!! You are also in quick reach of London for a change of scenery!! The house is also lovely and cosy, plenty of settees and the shower is really good!! We had some lovely quiet days just looking round Deal as a lot to see!!! Will be going back to the area again!!!
