The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was compact but perfectly formed! We went to some fabulous restaurants within walking distance of the cottage, and really enjoyed Deal and the surrounding area.

Second stay

We had such a great time for the second time. It’s a really lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and in a perfect location. It’s so peaceful but minutes from the shops and pubs. It’s a little on the expensive side which stops us staying for longer, but it is really lovely.

Cosy cottage in the heart of Deal

Our second stay at Cow and Cockle. This lovely cottage for two, is ideally situated in the centre of Deal. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and we would happily stay there again. Please note however: the stairs are quite steep.

A nice stay in a cute cottage

Everything in our service with Keepers’ was great. They were responsive to me on the phone and helped me book with ease. Very grateful. The cottage itself was comfy and cosy.

Fantastic location. Lovely little cottage.

We loved staying here. Tiny cottage but everything you need. In a great position for the seafront and local shops, bars, cafes. The stairs are extremely steep so not recommended for anyone who might find that tricky but no other issues. Good communication with the management team and just as the listing promised.

Cosy cottage

We enjoyed our second stay at this cosy cottage, which is well located for the town and seafront only a short walk away. The cottage had everything we needed and the welcome gift was much appreciated. We had one issue with the heated towel rail which was promptly dealt with by the friendly owner. We look forward to staying here again.

New Year break in Deal

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cow and Cockle cottage over the New Year period. The cottage was perfect for our needs - it was well equipped, clean, warm and cosy. Set within the historic conservation area, it was close to a selection of lovely pubs, cafes and eateries, Deal train station, supermarkets, the beach etc.. As well as enjoying taking the train to Margate, Ramsgate and Canterbury, there is so much to see and do locally even in the December/January. Particular highlights for us included walking to Walmer Castle and Gardens, visiting Deal Timeball Tower and seeing the timeball being raised and lowered on New Year’s Eve, brunch at the lovely Deal Pier Cafe, drinks at the Deal Ahoy pub, Le Panadier Wine shop and bar. Deal has so much to offer, we would love to revisit. A special thank you to Finders Keepers and the owners of the property who were extremely helpful.

A lovely, small, cozy cottage

A lovely, small, cozy cottage, right near the center of Deal. It has everything one could wish for: a fully equipped kitchen, a charming little backyard with seating area, and comfortable beds. Perfect for a couple. We've been booking with Keepers Cottage since 2016 and once again were very satisfied with the service. Everything was very clean, and check-in and check-out were easy.

Lovely weekend stay for one. Perfect location, easy access to necessities.

A perfectly located cottage. Walking distance to train station, car parks, supermarkets, and - more importantly - the high street, market, pier and shore. Booked for one person, the perfect size. Good for couples too who are out and exploring - might be a little tight if two are staying indoors. Warm, cozy and very comfortable. Reasonably priced for off-peak. Lovely people at the booking office if you need to get in contact, very helpful.

cow and cockle

Lovely quaint cottage in central Deal just off the High St. 5 mins walk from beach. Good eating and drinking options close by. Plenty of free parking very near. In principle it can accommodate three, but not comfortably. Perfect for two adults. Very cosy We would definitely return!

Small but perfectly formed

We spent a lovely weekend at the Cow and Cockle. We found everything just as we had hoped. The cottage is well equipped for cooking and relaxing. The location is very convenient for the historic centre of Deal. Deal itself is pretty, and the market on Saturday is well worth visiting. We walked along the coastal path to Dover (a bit far, to be honest, but the countryside was pretty and we just kept walking).

Perfect small bolthole for a short break

A great cottage for 2 for a short stay in Deal. The cottage is small, but well designed and furnished, creating a very comfortable place for a short break. The stairs are steep and narrow, especially for those of us with large feet!, but that's a minor gripe. The location is perfect and it is handy to have the management company based just around the corner in case of problems. I hesitate to provide too positive a review, as we will definitely return and want to make sure there is availability!

Great Deal

Great 2 night stay in this compact, well decorated and furnished cottage in the Deal conservation area. Close to the beach, railway station, car park and all the shops, excellent bars and fabulous restaurants in and around the busy High Street but just far enough away to be very calm and peaceful at night. Excellent communication & personal service from Keepers Cottages, a long established local holiday rental company with expert local knowledge and great people you can actually talk to which seems to be increasingly rare these days. We are delighted to recommend Deal, Keepers Cottages and this property to any couple looking for a fabulous break any time of year.

Cute little cottage right in the centre of Deal

This is a tiny one up/ one down cottage which is perfect for 2 people for a weekend. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook, and everything is clean and modern. It's really central for walking around Deal, with lots of good places to eat and drink very nearby. It was very cosy once we had the log burner going. The only things that weren't so comfortable were the bed, which was a little soft with a slight dip in the mattress, and the TV which is far too high on the wall which means having to lean right back with your head bent back.

Perfect location, cottage a bit disappointing

The location was amazing and the cottage was super clean and decorated really nicely. It was a lot smaller than the photos showed (I always expect photos will exaggerate but the place was tiny). The bed was very uncomfortable, to the point that I had to leave a night early because I couldn't get to sleep which is very unusual for me. There was a terrible smell of damp in the cottage, which also stopped me being there regularly, despite booking it to get work done. Despite the fantastic location and lovely style of the cottage, I wouldn't stay again and really would expect to be refunded for the final night, as the smell and bed really ruined the experience.

Half term bolt hole

Lovely little cottage for a brief snug getaway from the bustle of work.and daily life. Deal is a dear little, well meaning, emerging gem on the East Kent coast and this cottage has all you need for fish and chips, long walks and quality pints by the sea. Furnishings, finish and fixtures are all great at cow and cockle cottage. Everything we needed was to hand, well selected and as expected. Loved the little welcome presents too. Four small issues for us. These are all very small, but might be helpful for future bookings. 1) I may have missed it in all the info, but it would have been great to know that a cat lives or lived for a while in the cottage. My wife's allergies went haywire, despite the clear and derailed cleaning. If wed known she would.have packed all her meds 2) I think it could be useful and fair to make bookings aware of the closed up nature of the town on mondays-wednesdays. We know Deal quite well, but we're still surprised in a half term week just how little was open. 3) Stairs are an effort. Im not old, but my knees are weak. Again, I may have missed it, and effort has been made to mitigate, but again, I think it would be fair and useful to know just how steep, twisty and tricky they are to get up. I was crawling up and precarious coming down. 4)the shower tray filled up very quickly. Less observant people, who took longer showers would have flooded the bathroom.
