A delightful cottage in a quiet pedestrianised lane in the heart of the historic conservation area of Deal. Perfectly located just yards from both the long beach, pier and promenade and the high street with its variety of boutique shops and cafes.

The cottage is a wonderful blend of traditional; with exposed beams and a large fireplace with wood burner, and modern, with comfortable sofas, a well-equipped kitchen, and the luxury of two bedrooms each with en-suites. It even has a small courtyard for relaxing after a great day exploring.

Overall my stay was good.
However, I did find the bathrooms small and little space to put anything.
Without the log burner, the temperature in the living room was not high enough for me, even with the thermostat temperature increased.
I spend a lot of time reading and writing and there is no view from the downstairs windows and it is practically impossible to see the sky.

It was lovely, but extremely compact

The cottage was very clean and the thoughtful addition of the welcome pack was received as intended and I would like to thank the owners for that. It was well-thought out in terms of storage, however it was a disappointment for us as a family by the fact that it is extremely compact. Although I had carefully looked at the photos prior to making the booking, it was a shock to arrive and discover that the property was actually very, very limited in space for us to move around and to be comfortable - for example: due to the majority of the space being taken up by the King-size bed in the upper bedroom, both my husband and I kept catching our arms on the latch of the door to the bathroom (causing scratches), and in addition there was very little room to pass freely between the end of the bed and the bathroom door (which caused bruises, and I would hasten to add that we are not overweight). The kitchen was the biggest shock because we like to cook and it is very much lacking in space and therefore it was not possible to have 2 people in there at the same time. On the positive side, the courtyard garden was a pleasant place in which to sit to eat, and the profusion of pots overflowing with beautiful flowers and plants just outside the front of the property was a delight, but of course we weren't sleeping or cooking outside, so the aforementioned dearth of sufficient room to feel comfortably relaxed marred our stay. For these reasons, i would not recommend this property to a family.

We loved our stay at Portobello Court! The cottage was cosy, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for our week long stay. The location was perfect for us having quick access to the beach, high street and market. Thank you so much!

This is a beautifully renovated and maintained cottage in a quiet alley, just off one of the most historic streets of Deal, and a half minute walk to the seafront. The house is small but very comfortable with a big sofa and log burner in the living room, and good bedrooms. (Tight and steep staircase for anyone with mobility issues). A sweet little yard to sit in when it's sunny. Very close to many very good bars and restaurants. We love it and highly recommend.

A lovely cottage, great wood stove and very clean. Perfect location in Deal, We had a great time. The only issue is it is very small, and after a week with just two of us (one being a 6ft6 man) we couldn’t handle it, barely a one person cottage in terms of kitchen space or bathroom space. But otherwise cannot fault it was pretty and cozy.

We spent a really happy week at this comfortable, stylishly decorated cottage. It’s close to all amenities but it’s charming courtyard situation makes it peaceful and quiet.
The log burner is very effective and plenty of logs were supplied. All towels and bed linen are of excellent quality.
The shower is wonderful and both bathrooms were warm and cosy throughout the days and nights. The hand basins in both bathrooms are very small but this is the only criticism we have of this otherwise very well appointed, pretty and comfortable cottage.

The cottage was in a very convenient location for the wonderful beach, shops and pubs that Deal had to offer. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The team at Keepers were attentive and professional.

We loved our stay at Portobello Court - this old cottage has been beautifully and cleverly renovated to make the most of the space. The sitting room and bedrooms are very comfortable with modern furniture, and cosy in the evenings with the log burner; the kitchen, whilst small, is fully appointed for preparing meals. The collage is in a great location, 1 minute from the sea front, 5 minutes from the pier, and a minute or two to shops, bars, restaurants and the great Saturday market. We found it a perfect setting for exploring the very lovely town of Deal which has so much to offer.

My boyfriend and I decided that we wanted a break from London so came to spend a few nights in Deal. This property is in a superb location, close to the main high street where you will find wonderful restaurants as well as delightful shops, not to mention its close proximity to the pier, where we took marvellous strolls by the sea. We highly recommend the scenic walk to Sandwich Bay, as well as the walk to the Zetland Arms pub in Kingsdown! The property was a joy to stay in! It was clean, neat, and tidy and we felt right at home as soon as we entered. The owners were extremely friendly and it was our pleasure meeting them. In essence, there isn't a bad thing to say about Portobello Court; we feel extremely grateful to have gotten to stay here! :)

The cottage is small, but has everything you need, and a great location. If you struggle with steps the cottage is probably not for you as there are steps in to the kitchen area, and the stairs are steep and twist. The location is great for the beach and Deal town. Comfortable bed, and light and airy rooms.

No. 1 Portobello Court is a delightful old cottage, beautifully renovated and very comfy and easy to stay in. The ensuite bathrooms, although tiny, provide easy access for both bedrooms. The furnishings are stylish and comfy. The kitchen, again tiny, has everything you need for preparing a meal. The log burner in the sitting room kept us very warm and the small yard is good for having a drink or meal outside.
The staircases are in keeping with the age of the cottage - very small and tight, which was fine for us, but maybe tricky for those with some mobility issues.
The cottage is in a very charming and interesting historic area of Deal with lovely houses on tiny historic streets all around, and near to some lovely bars, cafes, shops and the Saturday market.
It is situated a minute from the sea front for lovely walks and sea swims!
Very much enjoyed our stay here and will definitely book to come again.
