About this property

Dragon Cottage - Romantic Hideaway

Dragon Cottage is an 18th Century Smugglers Cottage. It is situated in the picturesque conservation area of Deal and is within a stone's throw of the beach. It has a cosy sitting room with log fire and squishy sofa. The well equipped kitchen diner is roomy and has a comfy chair as well as the formal dining area. The courtyard garden is a sun trap and has a BBQ area as well as table and chairs. There is a steep staircase to the upper floor so this property is not suited to anyone with mobility difficulties. The bathroom is upstairs and there is one generous double bedroom and a twin bedroom. The cottage is situated in the conservation area of Deal which is full of history and supports a thriving artistic community. There is a wide range of shops nearby - both high street brands such as Boots, WH Smith, Costa coffee and also local butchers, fishmongers, bakers and Organic Veg shops such as No Name shop for cheese and olives, Hoxton Shop, Dunlin and Diver and 123 for gifts. There is also a local Museum and the Art Galleries at Taylor Jones and Son and Joanne Harmer .

Een uitstekende cottage wanneer je van auttenticiteit houdt. Allles is aanwezig. 2 minuten van het strand en je loopt in een wip naar het gezellige dorpscentrum. Het Dover Castle op 20 min rijden is een echte aanrader en natuurlijk de orachtige krijtrotsen. Prima plek voor wie

A wonderful stay in a charming cotage

This lovely cottage suited us perfectly, right in the heart of Deal with a car park 2 minutes walk away, free overnight with an electric point for our plug-in car, but you did have to pay during the day. It was clean and comfortable with a sunny yard that would have been great to sit out in if the sun had shone! Our aged Labrador felt very welcome. We did lots of walking, to Sandwich and Broadstairs, had a day in Canterbury and a very stormy day walking by the sea through Margate. Thank you so much to the hosts, we’ve returned to SE London, refreshed and renewed

Cosy comfort, charming cottage

I stayed at Dragon Cottage a few years ago, and I was delighted to find everything as beautiful as I remembered it on my second visit. Communications and check-in were a breeze, the house is so welcoming and cosy, with everything thoughtfully provided for a comfortable getaway. A few steps to the charming Deal market on Saturday morning, a stone's throw to the beach for long seafront walks, wonderful little shops, pubs and restaurants nearby (excellent fish & chips just down the road!). The place oozes history and charm. I slept so well in the comfy bed, and loved my evenings in the elegant sitting room, reading in front of the fire. A well-equipped kitchen let me cook my own meals when I didn't eat out. I can't wait for my next stay!

Excellent cottage and location

Really clean, really comfortable and a lovely sun trap courtyard. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Complimentary toiletries and robes were a welcome bonus. Great location in the centre of the conservation area with easy access to the lovely independent shops on the High Street. Best chippy and pub are 2 minutes walk away. Excellent communications with host Pippa and early check in was so helpful. We coughed up for parking in the Union Road car park as it was so convenient and just added daily rate £8 to the cost of the holiday. We love Deal and we will be back. Thanks so much for a great break Pippa.

Lovely cottage in great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy, characterful cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and ideally located right in the centre of Deal, just a few minutes walk from both shops and beach. We loved the little extras - lovely welcome basket, dressing gowns and slippers. A lovely place for a relaxing break.

Great holiday cottage

The cottage was lovely. It was close to the town and to sea front. There was plenty of space and everything we needed. Extras such as jam and teabags and dressing gowns and slippers added a splash of luxury. Nothing too much trouble for the hosts as they arranged an extra days stay. The log/coal fire was great. Plenty of plates and items in the kitchen. Towels for the beach. No problem finding places to park both in the long stay car park and free spaces in the sea front. We will definitely stay again. A lovely cottage.

A fantastic break!

Location, location, location! Such a superb spot, 1 minute from the beach and 1 minute from the high street. The accommodation was lovely, we had the best stocked welcome basket of jams and biscuits we'd ever seen. It was really comfy with a secure back yard. We'd love to go back!

Central location - charming cottage

We really enjoyed our time here. The cottage is close to the sea and all the great shops on the high street. It’s in the historic part of Deal. All v clean and well equipped. We were grateful for the basket of biscuits and jams and the Nespresso coffee. There is a sweet little terrace too. Our only issue was that we would personally have liked a firmer mattress in the main bedroom. But all in all perfect for a couple of fun days in Deal. .

About the host

I live in Surrey - so counts as a 'Down For the Weekender' at the moment....

Why they chose this property

You will find all you need here for a relaxing seaside break, As a dog owner myself, I am happy for you to bring your well behaved dog to the cotage. All the family love Dragon and we hope you find it as relaxing and restorative as we all do.

What makes this property unique

The dog walks and the lively artistic community with exhibitions and live music going on are a fantastic escape from the hurly burly of work life. On arrival, the car is parked and everything is then in easy walking reach - wonderful. The shops are a great mix of known high street brands like Marks and Spencers and quirky local shops like Dublin and Diver, the Horton shop, Smoke on the Water and Peppers health foods. There is a fantastic choice of places to eat and drink - all nearby and, of course, the sea is on our doorstep
