  Lovely clean and comfortable house.

  There is everything at the property you could possibly need including a full kitchen should you wish to cook! The house is very homely and it is obvious that the owners have considered everything for their guests. We stayed with a family of 4 but the house is big enough for a lot more people with plenty of beds including sofa beds in the basement lounge and plenty of chairs for chilling or eating. The small spiral staircase is a little tight and sleep which was fine for us but should be considered if you are less mobile or have young children as the two smaller bedrooms are in the loft. The beds were really comfortable, although don’t be surprised to be woken early by the seagulls! The house is a stones throw from the beach with free parking just up the road. The high street is at the end of the road with loads of deli shops. Sainsburys and Aldi less than a 10 minute walk away as is the train station if you want to get here by train. Deal is a lovely clean and well maintained coastal town. You can tell that the residents are looking after their houses and businesses with lots of maintenance work being done. We especially loved the flowers on the pubs and restaurants near the seafront. We enjoyed walking along the pier and swimming in the sea. The beach does not have any sand being a pebble beach but this suited us. It was spotlessly clean. There are plenty of pubs and restaurants to try as well as cafes and coffee shops. Deal is well placed for trips to Margate, Ramsgate and Dover. We visited the spitfire museum and the nearby aircraft museum which is worth a visit as well as using our English heritage membership at Deal and Dover Castle. All in all a great place to visit with wonderful accommodation. Thank you

  We were a party of 6. Elderly parents were able to manage the stairs and enjoyed their stay in the superking bed with massive en-suite. We walked to Victual restaurant on our first night . Lovely run place with good food. Weather was very good and spent a lot of time strolling up the promenade and sitting on the various benches, watching the world go by. The town house is situated in a perfect location and the roads were very quiet. Wa expecting to be woken by noisy gulls in the morning but this didn`t happen. Laurence had thought of everything to make a stay comfortable. We didn`t think we would use the courtyard but we all used it a lot. Laurence is a very good host and was happy to assist me with something before our arrival which was very kind. We would definitely stay again and also thought what a great winter stay the house would make also. Thanks again Laurence. July 2023

  We have been at Samphire Cottages for the 4th time, because it is perfect for us!

  We are two families (siblings) travelling together and have enough space for everyone, even in the conservatory, although we had to move together a little bit, but we managed quite well. The owner of the cottage always cared for our concerns and offered a lot of suggestions for our holiday. The location could not be better and is very close to the beach with a lovely walk in both directions: Sandown Castle Community Gardens on the one end of the beach promenade has to offer a food and tea truck and is great for a tea break. To the other side you can walk to Walmer castle and further on… Don‘t miss the coastal walk to (or from) Dover Castle with an irremissible stop at The Zetland Arms Inn in Kingsdown. Superb! And you also have a great pub in Deal nearby, the Ship Inn, which we loved very much. We hope that we can return to the cottage and the lovely town!

  Laurence was a super host and did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The house is fantastic, one of those places that would be marvellous to own. Great location, clean and homely. And I have to mention - so well equipped. Obviously a well loved and looked after seaside home from home. We loved the kitchen in the basement, and the lounging area was such a cosy space. We had a delightful stay at Laurence`s house. It was perfect to spend Christmas in. Even down to the real Christmas tree beautifully decorated, flowers and other decorations all very tasteful. There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen so cooking a Christmas meal was easy. The beds were really comfortable so we all slept well. It is just a few steps up o the promenade and pier to watch the Boxing Day swim, We didn`t want to leave. Dec 2022

  We stayed in this property quite last minute and can't praise Laurence enough for his patience with dealing with our changing plans (and dates). We stay in Deal fairly regularly and this spot is perfect, very close to the beach and the shops, while still lovely and quiet. There were so many thoughtful touches - books on the area with added notes, toiletries and even xtra tooth brushes and cotton wool and lots of cleaning products to make our stay much more comfortable. All kitchen appliances were new and we had plenty of cips, plates and cutlery so we didn't need to bring much with us at all. Beds were incredibly comfortable and all the rooms were spacious.
