Quaint, spacious, clean and great location!

Luke’s home was incredibly charming—it’s a period home with all the original details, but beautifully maintained and well appointed. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us, and the location is very walkable—near the high street, shops and cafes, beach, train and bus stops. Highly recommend!

Lovely break by the sea

Lovely quirky property close to sea and amenities including the station for travel to nearside towns. Lovely little courtyard to enjoy evening drinks. We travelled by train and I think parking would have been an issue if we had not.

Sunny Days at Blue Skies

Spread over three floors, this home has everything you need - including a top floor bedroom with an en suite! Location is excellent - only 10 minutes to the train station and about 2 minutes to the beach. Large dining area and kitchen on the ground floor and a small but sunny courtyard.

Great location

The house is just set back from the seafront and amongst many other interesting and quirky houses in the Middle Street area of Deal' The house is very well equipped but be prepared for lots of stairs, again be prepared for that which is typical of this part of historic Deal. Take a look at the toilet on the first floor from the outside, very intgeresting construction!

Delightful house and stay

Blue Skies was cosy and warm especially as it was a bitterly cold time! The house is well located in Deal with easy walking to shops (quite delightful and individual) and good restaurants as well as the beach (when nicer weather!). Also easy to drive to Ramsgate ( to visit Ramsgate tunnels) and Dover (to the castle). Everything about Blue Skies was comfortable and easy. It’s very well equipped, with good beds and a nice lounge and kitchen/dining area. Thoroughly recommend!

Lindsay

A very comfortable historic home. 5minutes walk to the sea front, level walk to town, good walks along the coast and into the countryside, or cycle rides. Well equipped kitchen to eat in or many local pubs and variety of restaurants cafes to try. We did not need to use a car, only by choice to go further into Kent.

Just right

Charming. I loved the kitchen; it was so well equipped. The beds were comfortable but the duvets were a bit too heavy for the weather (September), even with the windows open & heat off, we roasted. The toilet on the third floor often had to be flushed twice and it took about five minutes to refill. I once found it stuck running for a very long time. There was no room in the bedroom with twin beds for luggage and the couple double bedroom had to store one of their suitcases in the hallway. There was plenty of room in the master bedroom. The location was very quiet despite being so close to two pubs, which we all (6 of us) really enjoyed.

Break in deal

we had a few days in blue skies, deal is a great little place , to stay and explore this lovely coast, Beds were comfy, kitchen was reasonably equipped, a few more chopping knives would b good , all I would say is on this presant covid climate especially, cleansenes could of been better , im not going to list everything that was dirty , but there were things and areas that needed to be cleaner , But the linen was clean, and the sinks and toilets were too , ...and i guess those are important, overall we enjoyed our stay , and i would come back to deal for sure , ..thought it odd that we were asked to take our rubbish home with us , the property has bins ..and the dustbin was just around the corner !! These are just a couple of observations, but as I say we enjoyed our stay , . Blue skies is a pretty little place

Dear Michelle We are delighted that overall you enjoyed your stay at Blue Skies, Deal. One of your comments surprised me and I shall have to investigate further. Unless someone has taken them away, there should have been a block of carving knives on the worksurface near the sink. We hope that you enjoyed the restaurants that you booked. Best Wishes.

We had a brilliant time at Blue Skies. The cottage was a perfect base and our hosts provided us with everything that we needed. We loved Deal as a town and could not have had a better stay.
