This welcoming, coastal holiday home evokes easy carefree days with lots of light penetrating the rooms. Recently renovated with a newly fitted handmade kitchen, this home has been lovingly restored with great care and attention. The dual aspect wood burner between the dining room and the living room is delightful. The owners have used crisp whites and bold greys to create an understated coastal atmosphere using a palette drawn from the seaside. The property has three bedrooms, including two doubles and one twin, and will sleep six people comfortably. We recommend this property for couples, families and groups. After a day spent beach combing discovering washed up wonders (a wonderful way to keep children entertained), exploring Deal's maritime heritage or simply discovering our vintage home interior shops and eateries, come home to relax in a sunny, shingled courtyard.

Overall a great stay but couple of observations

Overall, this was a great stay. Lovely cottage, very quiet road but close to the beach and High Street. Parking pretty easy. Cottage really nicely furnished and good quality but two observations;

- I'm not that tall (5.11) but the main bed was pretty small, not ideal for two people. The room could accommodate a larger bed and it would be ideal

- Recycling instructions did not work and (outside in the alleyway) there was clearly a pile up of uncollected rubbish and recycling which was a little off putting.

So while I would recommend, if you are taller than me, just be aware.

A lovely well equipped house in a great location minutes from beach. So comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches - a real home from home. The garden courtyard was also very special and beautifully planted. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend.

Our family (5) spent the Easter break at Holbrook House in Deal and it more than exceeded expectations. Location was perfect, in a quiet street that is close to the High Street, lovely shops, pubs and restaurants and of course, the wonderful coastline.
The accommodation was excellent. Charming, comfortable and cosy as described, and more spacious than we anticipated. The kitchen was really well equipped and features such as the great quality coffee machine were much appreciated. The rooms were all delightful, and beds very comfortable. Pretty faultless!
The weather was kind to us (lots of showers predicted, but not many materialised) and the sun came out so we could even enjoy an hour sitting in the pretty courtyard garden. Could not recommend more highly.

The house is full of character and very well equipped, with everything a visitor could need and more. The beds were comfortable and the showers and bath excellent, Ideal location for exploring Deal (and beyond) and the town is a delightful mix of small independent shops and a great selection of places to eat.
On the less favourable side, the house smelt very strongly of dogs which we found unpleasant. Yes, it is let as 'dog friendly' but for those unused to dogs it was quite overpowering and persistent. We felt the downstairs decor made the front room rather dark and it was too overlooked to feel really relaxing (perhaps 'frost' the lower glass panes for privacy?). The shower room basin, which is quite small, is dominated by an overly large cabinet that prevents face washing or wet shaving without dumping water all over the floor.
The courtyard garden is great but some of the lovely plants need cutting back as they block access. Parking was not an issue as restrictions run out just a few hundred yards away and spaces were easy to find for daytime. We would recommend property to others but with a caveat about the dog smell issue if not dog owners.
Overall though we enjoyed our stay and will return to the area.

We had such a lovely stay at Holbrook House (myself, my husband, mother-in-law and 2 teenage girls). It really felt like home from home! Very comfortable and well equipped. Literally, everything you could need is in the kitchen.
The house is in a lovely quiet street, but with a very short walk to the high street and all its lovely little cafes, independent shops and restaurants. Also very close to 2 little wine bars, but neither are noisy or late and not on the same street. Of course, the main point is how close it is to the beach. Just fab!
Such a sweet little garden - so relaxing and peaceful. The house itself is very tastefully decorated with some lovely furniture and accessories. Great showers and very comfortable beds.
We had no problem with parking and stayed in July. Overnight is allowed in the street and then we easily found free parking within a short walk to leave our car during the day. We stayed during the heatwave and it was quite hot at night, so some fans would be great for next summer. Aside from that, I really recommend staying at this property.

Property was very well equipped and well furnished. Touches of luxury- lots of cushions, blankets and decorated for Christmas. Everything you could need and in central position to enjoy Deal.
Only problem for us was that several of our group were tall. Ceilings were low in several places. Daughter hit her head on door frame, and beds were too short with footboards.

We spent a very comfortable three nights in this delightful and homely house.. Everything we needed was included and I cannot
fault it. As a bonus it also has a very pretty courtyard garden.

Such a lovely place to stay .. even more spacious than the photographs show. The double sided wood burner was absolutely fantastic. The house is beautifully decorated, well kept and stylish, and has a great layout. Thank you.

We spent a perfect week at 7 Water Street, the house was lovely, the weather was glorious, there was not a lot else we could of asked for really. The house itself was the perfect size for our family of 5 (plus dog), it was contemporary in it's design and is set in a perfect location for the sea front and high street.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would come back. Very comfortable and lovely location. Really good book of clear instructions.

Sea gulls are noisy (!!) so if you could stop that next time that would be great! Haha ;)

It was a truly wonderful stay. Thank you

We had a fantastic stay in Deal. The house was clean, well presented and close to the centre of Deal and beach. The independent shops, Saturday market, restaurants and other attractions that Deal offers were all close by.

Well equipped and beautifully furnished. Garden is small though which was fine for us but something to bear in mind if you have younger children. We loved Deal and would definitely visit again.

Great house & location for a weeks holiday. Only issue was foot boards on all beds which are not comfortable when you are 6’3”

In spite of the overcast and often rainy weather we had a great week. The property had everything required to make life really comfortable and even the dogs give it their 'paws' up. Would come again with no hesitation.
