A very comfortable place to stay. Exceptionally clean and a quiet location. The property had everything we needed for our stay. A good location for walking to the sea front and for the High Street where there are ample shops, restaurants and cafes. We all enjoyed our stay at this property.

Most wonderful stay

The cottage is lovely and one feels at home immediately. The seafront is a very short walk away and we even had breakfast in the courtyard which is beautiful. Walmer and Deal are always worth a visit with their castles and beautiful landscape such as the white cliffs.

Perfect location

This lovely property is perfectly located for the beach, restaurants and shopping in Deal as all are within walking distance. It's a real home from home with the best equipped kitchen we've ever had in a rental property, even the knives were good. Very clean and comfortable and the owner seemed to really care that we had a good stay, we would definitely recommend, a real gem.

Very nice cottage fully equipped and very well located

We very much appreciated our 3 post lockdown stay in this beautiful cottage very well looked after and nicely and fully equipped. Wendy was a very helpful and gracious host. Deal is a very nice coastal town with nice restaurants (outdoor for the moment) and there is a lot to discover in the region. We warmly recommend this cottage

Convenient, well kept house.

Nice house on a very quiet street. Superb kitchen and useful room in the cellar with games (though with steep stairs, mind your head going down). Close to the beach, centre of town, and a Sainsburys so no need to drive around. We had a lovely time visiting nearby towns and just walking on the beach.

Great stay - very nice house, spacy, cosy, full equiped, great kichen, clean and with good service

We had a great stay in Deal. The house is very spacy ( biggest in the street) with 3 comfortable bedrooms, a great kitchen with full equipment - very good for self catering - and a seperate dining room, a playroom for children.... Superb service including towels and linnen ( beds were already prepared ☺) and a welcome package . The house is very central, near to high Street, sainsbury and the beach, so you do not need the car in Deal. We enjoyed our stay ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We are very pleased that you enjoyed staying at Somerley. We try to make the house feel it is your home during your stay by providing most things that you would need for a self catering holiday. There is plenty of space in the house and alongside the courtyard for warmer evenings we also always enjoy our house by the sea.

Very comfortable house in a quiet street

We had very nice holidays in this house and we highly recommend it. The house is located near the centre of Deal. It is well appointed. The beach with pebble stones (5 min.), the centre (5 min.), shopping facilities (5-10 min.) and the railway station (10 min.) are all within walking distance. From Deal there are hourly trains going to London so that a day trip is possible.

Lovely, comfortable cottage

We had a lovely and comfortable stay at somerley. Cottage was very clean and was the most well equipped holiday cottage we've ever stayed in! Wendy, our host, was attentive to our needs. Location was very centre to everywhere we wanted to visit...Dover castle was 20mins away, sandy beaches at botany bay n joss bay was only 40 mins drive. Deal beach was 10mins walk n we loved our visit to Deal castle n walked along the promenade to Walmer castle. Definitely recommend.

We, a family of four visited deal in July 2022 and spend two weeks at Wendys cottage "Sommerly".

Great comfortable cottage with a lovely small backyard, fully equipped and in walking distance from, city center, station, beach, supermarkets and shops. Even the cellar had games for the kids. Wendy, the landlady, was always of help. I rate five out of five stars. Really to recommend.

A lovely place in the middle of Deal

We had a great stay in this nice vintage-like place. There was room enough for the five of us. We enjoyed the courtyard for having breakfast and the short walks to the beach and the city centre. Espacially nice was the uncomplicated contact to our landlady Wendy via E-Mail. PS.: We were booking from Germany (fewo-direkt.de), the translated description is a little misleading, because the house is not situated in rural areas or close to the nature but in the historic evironement of the city centre.

Lovely house, 6 out of 5 stars ... :-)

We had a wonderful week in Deal, and the whole family fell in love with this beautiful cottage, and with Deal! The house is very well equipped and very good looked after! The patio is lovely, and the kids liked the the playroom in the basement very much. It's just a five minute walk to the sea, the next pubs, a great fish & chips (highly recommended!), and to the city centre with it's lovely shops. Wendy was most helpful, and we'd love to come back! This was by far the most beautiful holiday home we ever had - thank you!

Absolutely fantastic

What a fantastic property! Stayed with my husband and two 18+ children. The house was spotless and very well equipped, some places can be a little hit and miss with there kitchen equipment but not here. We usually managed to park on the street only once or twice just round the corner so that wasn’t an issue. Deal itself is a beautiful place with lots of interesting little shops to have a nose around in . I rarely give above 4 stars but this property deserves all 5 !

Beyond superb accommodations! It’s such a delight when you first enter a rental unit and it far surpasses your expectations (and the pics/description of the home were already great). Extremely cozy, comfortable, clean, spacious, and nicely equipped with everyday essentials. The host was only friendly, accommodating and promptly helpful with local information. Our family of four (my wife and I and two teenagers) had plenty of space and each loved the place. It was ideally located on a quiet street within quick walking distance to the water and downtown Deal. Our main complaint is that we had to leave! This was our first time in Deal and hope to return. It’s such a charming, warm and friendly location with its own charm and conveniently located to other nearby spots like Canterbury and Dover. Highly recommend.
