Simply The Best. Will definitely rebook when returning to Deal
I think we picked the coldest weekend of this winter but The Drift cottage was warm and cosy. Spotlessly clean with lots of added extras, plus the added bonus of a parking space which I was able to get my Mini Countryman on. There’s a nice decking area which unfortunately was much to cold to sit on, a nice touch for the summer though. Just a short walk from shops, restaurants and pubs, perfect all round.

Wonderful holiday
We stayed at The Drift for a week and loved it. The property is situated in a conservation area amongst lots of other beautiful properties a short walk from the centre of Deal. The cottage was beautifully decorated, very clean and well equipped. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. Even though the stairs were steep the rope handles supplied made it relatively easy for old knees to cope with the climb!! The beach was virtually on our doorstep and the walk along the prom to the town centre was a delight.

This and that
It was very nice. Unfortunately the loo broke on the Saturday night and couldn't be fixed until Monday. Also the wifi was not answering to the password so I was was unable to access the Internet, but fortunately could manage by using my phone as an Internet hot spot.
