Avis Cosy coastal retreat - 148 Middle Street

This is a quirky old cottage situated in a beautiful and quiet part of Deal, very close to the beach and cycling/walking opportunities. We enjoyed many walks, cycle rides and swims as a result. We enjoyed our stay and were not too fazed by the steep stairs and low ceilings as we were expecting them. In general the cottage is well equipped and comfortable - lovely bath, soft bedding and towels and a good supply of kitchen equipment. Items such as washing machine and dishwasher have been cleverly incorporated into the limited space in the cottage. The top bedroom in particular is a lovely space, with the bonus of a delightful sea view. The notable exception in terms of comfort was the sofa as the seat cushions have been replaced by large feather pillows that soon flatten out onto the frame. It really was deeply uncomfortable after about 5 minutes of initial comfort. This can be easily remedied I'm sure by replacing the sofa or seat cushions. We would stay here again if this issue was resolved. We very much appreciated the speedy response from Keeper's Cottages when we contacted them with a couple of queries early on.

Beautiful period cottage, carefully modernised and just a stone’s throw from the sea, near to great pubs, shops, cliff walks, plus the excellent rail link. We enjoyed being car free! We loved the sea view from the top bedroom, dazzling in the morning, and the patio for breakfast. Hot sunny weather and daily sea swims were icing on the cake.
