About this property

Super-cosy 3 storey grade II listed cottage with original oak floors and panelling. Working fireplaces in both reception rooms. Yards from Deal Beach and the High Street. There are three double bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. The property has been completely refurbished in 2017 with new central heating, kitchen, shower room and bathroom: heaps of rustic charm as well as those all important creature comforts!

The cottage features a lovely south-facing garden, walled on all sides for complete privacy and ideal for al-fresco dining if you can't be bothered to barbecue on the beach.

Plenty of FREE PARKING within 100 yards.

Dolphin Street is part of Deal's incredibly well-preserved conservation area, a joy to explore. There are three good pubs within 100 yards, the best fish and chips anywhere, and a huge choice of restaurants, delis, cafes, galleries and independent shops of all shapes around the corner (Sainsbury's and M&S too for stocking up on provisions). A few yards in the other direction is the beach, which you will find almost empty even in Summer.

Great week in a great house!!!

An absolutely great and cozy holiday home in a great location. We really liked the furnishings and style of the house. The small travel guide that the landlord provided us was very helpful. We really liked the recommended restaurants, excursion tips and shopping opportunities. We will come back!! A little tip: Surf & Turf in the Peer Restaurant on Saturday evenings are awesome!!!

Wundervoll!

Dieses Ferienhaus ist wahrscheinlich das schönste in dem wir je waren. Versteckt in einer kleinen Gasse birgt das Haus echten englischen Charme. Das kleine Cottage ist mit viel Freude am Detail ausgestattet, und atmet einen einzigartigen Flair, den wir so nirgendwo gefunden haben. Die Lage am Meer ist perfekt, um Kent zu erkunden.

14 Dolphin

Had a really super stay but just a few things not great - ensuite shower room and bathroom were very small. Both flights of stairs twisted and very steep. Our group consisted of 4 adults ranging from 75 to 85 and we found the stairs difficult. Especially from the top floor bedroom as door opened straight onto steep stairs quite dangerous if you needed bathroom in the night. I would add that even with the above-mentioned the property was in an excellent position for beach and town. We were very impressed with the info details provided. The beds were extremely comfortable as was the lounge furniture. I think there should be photos of the stairs in the details of the property. If we had known about the stairs we would not have booked our holiday at this cottage.

Zuckersüßes Häuschen einen Katzensprung vom Strand entfernt

Super niedliches Häuschen, gemütliches Gärtchen, sehr gut ausgestattete Küche, bequeme aber sehr weiche Betten, äußerst geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Lage zum Strand und Zentrum ist perfekt. Die Parksituation angenehm. Wir haben uns rundherum wohl gefühlt. Die beiden Bäder sind wirklich sehr sehr klein, haben keine Fenster, deswegen gibt es logischerweise etwas Schimmel an den Fugen und es riecht leicht feucht. Dagegen kommt die kleine Lüftung leider nicht an. Für eine Woche war das okay, bei einem längeren Aufenthalt hätte es uns gestört.

Delightful Deal

We had a wonderful stay (2 adults, 3 children) in a great location, with free parking nearby. Our host kindly left us some yummy biscuits and milk on arrival. The property was well maintained and clean. Being a period property, you have the odd creaks and small galley kitchen but the shed, lounge and dinning room gives you more space. The town and beach is in walking distance, with great restaurants, including of course fish and chips, (Seaview) nearby. We went for lovely long walks, bike rides including Sandwich Bay, especially when weather a bit wet! Was lovely to meet the host on our departure, who was nothing but welcoming and informative.

Seaside Holiday

We loved the location— 1/2 block from the ocean and two streets away from shopping! My ten year old son loved the tv and wifi connections while I loved the historic architecture. Husband loved the comfortable bed and outdoor patio. Would highly recommend for week or weekend getaway!

Beautiful quirky cottage

We had a lovely stay in this quirky cottage! It had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. We wanted to stay longer as we’d only booked for the weekend! All queries sent to the owner were answered very quickly. Deal itself is a lovely town with great pubs and restaurants.

Loads of character

Lovely property with loads of character and excellent location. Plenty of space for the 5 of us and the outside space a real bonus. Close enough to the sea to nip down for a quick swim (even in October). Stairs are quite steep, particularly to the top floor - takes a bit of getting used to! Great host and definitely recommend.

Lovely house in a perfect location.

The house is beautiful and full of character, as well as being extremely confortable and well-located in a great town. Being so near the beach, it was good to be able to stroll 100m to the sea in the morning or evening and is also very convenient for the town. The house itself also has everything you would need for a holiday.

Cosy 17th Century Hideaway in Deal

Have just returned from a lovely break at this lovely cottage in Dolphin Street. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was beautiful and very well equipped. It was also perfectly located - just a stones throw from the beach and easy walking distance of the many shops, bars and restaurants of this historic town. Would definitely come back!
