About this property

Holbrook House - lovely, charming cottage in the heart of Deal

Holbrook House is a gorgeous, terraced Georgian cottage in the sought after Conservation Area of Deal. The owners have used crisp whites and bold greys to create an understated coastal atmosphere using a palette drawn from the seaside. This welcoming, coastal space evokes easy carefree days with lots of light penetrating the rooms. The property boasts three bedrooms, including two doubles and one twin, and will sleep 6 comfortably. We recommend this property for couples, families and groups. After a day spent beach combing discovering washed up wonders ( a wonderful way to keep children entertained), exploring Deal's maritime heritage or simply discovering our vintage home interior shops and eateries, come home to relax in a sunny, shingled courtyard - you may even be able to hear the crash of the waves.

Recently renovated with care and attention, we love this accommodation and we think you will too, and it is very pet friendly. The dual aspect wood burner between the dining room and the living room is delightful.
Inside and out, this cottage has a classic yet contemporary look. From its striking frontage with its pretty window boxes to its painted floorboards, stripped weathered pine doors, painted furniture and sash windows this is certainly a property you will look forward to returning to. There is a gorgeous, well-equipped kitchen with American style fridge-freezer and small kitchen table plus a further utility room that leads out to the tranquil courtyard garden with its outdoor furniture and bedding plants. The living room has ample seating around the fireplace and there is a Smart TV with Sky access and wifi available for guest use. The owners have also provided plenty of jigsaw puzzles and board games. There is also a spacious dining room with additional sofa seating and a door to the garden. The bedrooms are stylishly decorated in neutral tones and the twin bedroom is just perfect for children. The master bedroom boasts an en-suite. While away the hours luxuriating in the roll-top bath in the to-die-for bathroom complete with subway-tiled shower.

Wonderful Easter break
Our family (5) spent the Easter break at Holbrook House in Deal and it more than exceeded expectations. Location was perfect, in a quiet street that is close to the High Street, lovely shops, pubs and restaurants and of course, the wonderful coastline. The accommodation was excellent. Charming, comfortable and cosy as described, and more spacious than we anticipated. The kitchen was really well equipped and features such as the great quality coffee machine were much appreciated. The rooms were all delightful, and beds very comfortable. Pretty faultless! The weather was kind to us (lots of showers predicted, but not many materialised) and the sun came out so we could even enjoy an hour sitting in the pretty courtyard garden. Could not recommend more highly.

Holbrook House Christmas
A lovely house, tastefully modernised but not overly so with a very well equipped modern kitchen with enough crockery to feed most of Deal. A cd player would have been useful as we bought our Christmas CD's with us but couldn't play them, also a small radio downstairs would have been handy. The log burner is lovely but we were at a loss to know what to do with the ash, so it had to go in with the rubbish, when cool! This is obviously a family home, with photographs and knick-knacks on every surface, some clear space for our own things would have been useful as we were staying for a week at Christmas time. These are just small observations and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. Highly recommended and we would certainly return.

Lovely property with lots of little unexpected extras. Bit pricey but that’s Deal for you! Would come again.

Great location but some issues
The house is full of character and very well equipped, with everything a visitor could need and more. The beds were comfortable and the showers and bath excellent, Ideal location for exploring Deal (and beyond) and the town is a delightful mix of small independent shops and a great selection of places to eat. On the less favourable side, the house smelt very strongly of dogs which we found unpleasant. Yes, it is let as 'dog friendly' but for those unused to dogs it was quite overpowering and persistent. We felt the downstairs decor made the front room rather dark and it was too overlooked to feel really relaxing (perhaps 'frost' the lower glass panes for privacy?). The shower room basin, which is quite small, is dominated by an overly large cabinet that prevents face washing or wet shaving without dumping water all over the floor. The courtyard garden is great but some of the lovely plants need cutting back as they block access. Parking was not an issue as restrictions run out just a few hundred yards away and spaces were easy to find for daytime. We would recommend property to others but with a caveat about the dog smell issue if not dog owners. Overall though we enjoyed our stay and will return to the area.

Holbrook House is a Wonderful!!
We had such a lovely stay at Holbrook House (myself, my husband, mother-in-law and 2 teenage girls). It really felt like home from home! Very comfortable and well equipped. Literally, everything you could need is in the kitchen. The house is in a lovely quiet street, but with a very short walk to the high street and all its lovely little cafes, independent shops and restaurants. Also very close to 2 little wine bars, but neither are noisy or late and not on the same street. Of course, the main point is how close it is to the beach. Just fab! Such a sweet little garden - so relaxing and peaceful. The house itself is very tastefully decorated with some lovely furniture and accessories. Great showers and very comfortable beds. We had no problem with parking and stayed in July. Overnight is allowed in the street and then we easily found free parking within a short walk to leave our car during the day. We stayed during the heatwave and it was quite hot at night, so some fans would be great for next summer. Aside from that, I really recommend staying at this property.
