I rented this cottage for a week in October 2014, and found the cottage very much to my liking. It is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
I did not have much contact with the owners except for calling to get information about key collection, and meeting him when I did collect the keys, but what I found is that they are friendly and helpful. I was to call if there was any problems and they would come and sort it for me.
The weather was variable, being in October, but I did get to enjoy a cup of coffee in the garden a couple of times.
The only thing I could find to mark down is that the lounge sofa is a bit dated and not the most comfortable. You should also be aware that the stairs to the first floor is a little steep, and there are steps from the dining room to the kitchen.
The cottage has a very good wifi connection, which was very good for my working holiday.
The town centre is within easy walking distance, and there is a good train connection to London.
Deal is a nice little town with a fine beach and a pier. There are smaller shops a few minutes from the cottage, and the High Street is within a 5-10 minutes walk.
