Welcome to Fisherman's Cottage, a delightful two bedroom cottage in the heart of the vibrant seaside town of Deal. Steeped in history, the cottage dates back to the 1800s and sits within Deal's conservation area, on what was formerly known as Jews Harp Alley, home to 98 residents, mostly mariners and boatmen. Over the years, it is believed to have been used by fishermen to hang and mend their nets and has also served as a fish cold store, and even a cockle shop. Next door, you'll find a listed property, another nod to the street's rich maritime history. Arranged over three floors, this cottage sleeps four guests in two inviting double bedrooms, offering a sense of privacy and space. The ground floor has tall ceilings that enhance the open-plan layout of the kitchen/diner and cosy sitting room. A small, but sunny decked courtyard offers a lovely spot for morning coffee in the fresh sea air. The cottage has recently been renovated with a brand new, modern bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of thoughtful touches throughout. There is also a useful office nook with a desk, chair and a screen for work or writing. Everything in Deal is within walking distance, just 100 yards from independent shops and coffee shops, to the wide pebble beach and long promenade. Walmer and Kingsdown are just a short stroll away too, making it the perfect base to explore the local area. With beautiful coastal walks, historic castles, and world-class golf courses on your doorstep, there is something here for everyone. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome downstairs too.

Why does it eed a title ?
A really cosy well decorated accommodation, in the perfect location. A meal at the Rose was very nice, although breakfast on the pier disappointed. The lanes cafe behind the accommodation did great breakfasts

My stay in Deal
I've stayed in many cottages over the years and Fishermans Cottage in Deal is probably the best! The owners haven't missed a single thing. Everything from the decor to the kitchen utensils and the cleanliness and comfort has been met and surpassed. I will be staying again. Thank you.

Fisherman’s Cottage, Deal – 5 Stars
This was my third stay with Keepers Cottages, and as always, the cleanliness was first class. The beds were spotless and very comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep.
The cottage had plenty of space for two people, though it might feel a little cramped for four, and I’d agree with previous comments that it may not be ideal for someone elderly.
The location couldn’t be better – just a short walk to excellent restaurants and bars, with the beach only minutes away.
Would definitely recommend!
