Lovely little cottage for a brief snug getaway from the bustle of work.and daily life.
Deal is a dear little, well meaning, emerging gem on the East Kent coast and this cottage has all you need for fish and chips, long walks and quality pints by the sea.
Furnishings, finish and fixtures are all great at cow and cockle cottage. Everything we needed was to hand, well selected and as expected. Loved the little welcome presents too.
Four small issues for us. These are all very small, but might be helpful for future bookings.
1) I may have missed it in all the info, but it would have been great to know that a cat lives or lived for a while in the cottage. My wife's allergies went haywire, despite the clear and derailed cleaning. If wed known she would.have packed all her meds
2) I think it could be useful and fair to make bookings aware of the closed up nature of the town on mondays-wednesdays. We know Deal quite well, but we're still surprised in a half term week just how little was open.
3) Stairs are an effort. Im not old, but my knees are weak. Again, I may have missed it, and effort has been made to mitigate, but again, I think it would be fair and useful to know just how steep, twisty and tricky they are to get up. I was crawling up and precarious coming down.
4)the shower tray filled up very quickly. Less observant people, who took longer showers would have flooded the bathroom.
