Pros: We picked The Cove based on location and price. It was conveniently located for the Saturday market and the pier. The communication with keepers cottages was professional, comprehensive and timely.

Cons: Some aspects of the property weren’t so child friendly. The kitchen in the basement smells a bit damp and doesn’t have a railing on the stairs. We were told the cot didn’t come with bed linen so we brought our own, but it also didn’t come with a mattress. The highchair seat was on backwards which meant we couldn’t use the attachments. Our son was just old enough for us to be able to go without. Some lights were broken.

Great location and clean property. Loved it for that alone. Would recommend definitely. Difficult stairs for some, but think that is clear when you book.




A characterful cottage in an excellent location

We had a great stay at the Cove. The cottage is comfortable, beautifully decorated and has bags of charm. The stairs are not ideal for v young children or those with mobility issues but the cottage suited us perfectly. Its location is excellent with the seafront at one end of the street and the high street (and Saturday market) at the other. Deal is a lovely town to explore with lots of great places to eat and drink. No car is needed - we took the train to Sandwich and bus to Dover castle for fascinating history packed days out. Highly recommended all round!



Great location, cute house, but room for improvement.

We had a lovely stay at The Cove and would return, mostly thanks to its location. The house is on the better end of town and near lovely little shops and of course, the beach. It has been decorated very nicely and it was nice to receive the welcome bag.

Constructive feedback would be to clean the garden prior to guests arriving – there is a pigeon issue, which meant the garden and garden furniture was covered in bird poo. A quick wipe-down would have helped. There was also an old fire surround, which seems to be waiting to be removed. The garden could be made really nice with a few small changes.

We also felt there were a lot of cables lying around, which had an older group, or people with children, been staying, could have been a trip-hazard. We also agreed that whilst we found them charming, the narrow stairs would be an issue for anyone less physically able or carrying a baby, so should probably be flagged on the description.

Overall though we had a lovely stay and think the house could be made to be really impressive quite easily! Thanks for having us.



Lovely cottage, great location

Family of 3 who have visited Deal many times. We had a wonderful week's stay in the cottage, which was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything that you need for a lovely, relaxing stay. Communication with Keepers Cottages was great and we really enjoyed our stay. We loved being just moments from the Beach, all the lovely shops and the supermarket was very close by too.
