About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Delightful seaside cottage, central, quiet with free parking. Sleeps 5.

Welcome to Number 5 – a light, airy seaside retreat in the heart of historic Deal
Just a one-minute stroll from the beach and moments from Deal Pier, Number 5 is a beautifully presented coastal home perfectly placed for a relaxing seaside escape. Tucked away in Deal’s charming Old Town, the house enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting while still being only steps from the vibrant high street, where you’ll find independent shops, fantastic cafés, and a wide choice of excellent restaurants.
One of Number 5’s standout features is its private off-street parking for one car — a real rarity and huge bonus in the town centre, where parking can be limited and costly. If you’re arriving with a second vehicle, there is also a residents’ car park directly behind the property, available if space permits.
Inside, the house is bright, welcoming and thoughtfully equipped for guests of all ages. The sunny garden is perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach, while indoors you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen complete with a dishwasher and washing machine, making longer stays effortless. There are also books and board games for cosy evenings in.
The property sleeps five across three comfortable bedrooms:
One double bedroom (with space for a cot if required)
One twin bedroom
One single bedroom
There are two bathrooms for added convenience — a downstairs shower room and an upstairs family bathroom with a bath.
Families are especially well catered for. If you’re travelling with young children, you’ll find a travel cot, high chair, baby bath, stair gate, changing mat and toys, so there’s no need to pack the extras.
Dogs are very welcome at Number 5, so you don’t have to leave your four-legged family member behind. Deal is a wonderfully dog-friendly seaside town, with miles of beautiful walks right on your doorstep — from beach and promenade strolls to longer routes along the cliffs towards St Margaret’s Bay. Many local cafés, pubs and eateries also happily welcome well-behaved dogs, making it an ideal destination for a relaxed break with your pet.
Deal itself is a delightful seaside town with plenty to explore. Discover its two historic castles, museum, and the UK’s only post-war pier, complete with an award-winning restaurant at the pier head. Enjoy elegant Georgian architecture, live music at the bandstand, a lively weekly market and long days on the beautiful beach.
For walkers and cyclists, the surrounding area is a dream. Take the stunning cliff-top walk to St Margaret’s Bay or cycle through to Betteshanger Country Park. Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with Deal’s outstanding range of restaurants, cafés and bistros, while shoppers can browse one of the country’s best selections of independent shops — Deal has even been named High Street of the Year.
Number 5 is also perfectly located for exploring further afield. Canterbury is just a 30-minute drive, Broadstairs and Margate are a short journey along the coast, and even France is within reach via a 1 hour 15 minute ferry crossing.
Despite being so central, the house remains wonderfully quiet — nearby bars close by 9pm — ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep. The train station is an easy 8-minute walk away, with direct services to London every hour, taking approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a seaside escape with friends, or a relaxed coastal break with your dog, Number 5 offers comfort, convenience and an unbeatable location — the perfect base for making the most of Deal. Top 3 Reasons to Book Number 5
Steps from the beach, pier and Old Town
Just a one-minute walk to the beach and moments from Deal Pier, with independent shops, cafés and restaurants right on your doorstep — all while enjoying a peaceful Old Town setting.
Rare private parking in central Deal
Off-street parking for one car right outside the house — a genuine luxury in the town centre where parking is limited, expensive and hard to find.
Comfort for everyone (including dogs)
Light, airy interiors, a sunny garden, family-friendly facilities, and dogs welcome too — making Number 5 ideal for couples, families, friends and four-legged guests alike.

Lovely house, great location

This is a lovely little house in a great location. It is decorated with a lovely seaside theme. I was confused about what was in the third bedroom as the listing said it had a futon in it but a previous reviewer had said there wasn't. After querying this with the owner she said a small mattress can be put on the floor of the smallest bedroom if requested and this is what we chose. The conservatory and garden are lovely spaces too. Deal is a great place for a holiday with castles, a pier and promenade. I only gave 4 stars overall because it needs a bit of work-in particular new freezer drawers. The owner said that there was to be work done to it at the end of the season. Overall it was lovely and we would love to visit again.

Ants in kitchen. Lack of cleaning materials. Dishwasher not satisfactory. Defunct lightbulb in kitchen. Had to buy batteries for tv remote. Could not open garden gates. I was not able to go myself but my friends have completed this form. I was shocked to be told that there was no bed in the small bedroom. We hired the house on the understanding that it was three bedrooms which we needed. Although I could not be there on Saturday I was hoping to come later in the week. I feel the house was not as described, which listed double, twin and single rooms, and I think we need a partial refund as the house was not as described.

Great property and prime location

We stayed for a long weekend in Deal (which in itself was a revelation - super nice). The property is just as described- so near to the shops and restaurants and also the beach but without any noise and parking to boot - which could be horrendous in peak season. The property itself is nicely furnished and we spent a long time looking at all the beach/nautical items. All in all I would thoughtless recommend this as a stay and Deal is well worth a visit. Owner was upper helpful and friendly too.
