Smart Townhouse Meets Quaint Cottage Close to the Sea

Hide out 150 yards from the beach in a Georgian townhouse. Set over 4 floors, it offers plenty of spots to retreat to, like a cosy living room with a log burner, an alfresco courtyard off a glossy blue kitchen, and a funky dining room on the lower ground floor. We use 'Little Bird' as a place to relax. With this in mind we have made the house as comfortable as we can. The house is set over four floors, on the ground floor is a sitting room with wood fired burner, TV and wi-fi which leads into the kitchen. The courtyard is accessed from here through double doors and has seating for four. On the first floor there is 1 double bedroom with a king size bed which can also be made into two single beds. Just let us know at the time of booking and we can sort this for you. The second floor has a king size bed and the room is open to the rafters. The basement has a dining table and chairs for 4 people. Whilst refurbishing the home, our aim was for this to feel like home from home. A hairdryer, iron and ironing board are provided along with towels and Egyptian cotton bed linen. Plus there is a washer/dryer, dishwasher, mircrowave, fridge and freezer. There is a shower room but no bath however we can provide an inflatable bath for babies. Also for children is a travel cot, potty, high chair, baby gate for the stairs, a baby step for cleaning their teeth and reaching the basin. Guests are welcome to use all the areas and all the amenities. As the house is set over four floors there are 3 flights of stairs that may feel a little steep for the elderly - hand rails have been fitted and there are night lights for children. There is a stair gate available to restrict access to other floors if you have children (please ask for this when you book). We are available to talk to by phone at any time if there are problems, whilst not based in Deal we are nearby. As much as possible we like to greet our guests. In the heart of a conservation area, the surrounding streets and alleys are full of historic buildings that have remained untouched for centuries. Walk in minutes to the beach, or to the high street with its shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. Free parking is available a short distance from the house, so unload at the house and then park. We find we rarely use the car when you are here as independent food stores and supermarkets are nearby. There are regular bus and train services within a 5-10 minute walk from the house. Deal is also really accessible with a high speed rail link to London in 1 hr 7 mins. There are ferries at Dover which go to the continent, you can even enjoy a day trip to Calais. The M20/A2 motorways easily accessible (20 minutes). We have fully refurbished the house in a stylish and contemporary way. Everything has been chosen with care and with comfort and practicality in mind. We stay at the house a lot and wanted it to feel like a proper home so if you want to cook you can or just snuggle on the sofa and read a book it's perfect. We also have wi-fi, a smart TV and Netflix's. A log-burner has recently been fitted in the living room. The bathroom has a shower complete with a separate attachment for bathing children (or yourself it you don't want to get your hair wet) - there is no bath. CHECK IN is 3pm with CHECK OUT at 11am. If we have no guests coming straight in, and subject to the changeover team- these can be amended to allow for an earlier check in and a later check out time. There are some basics in the house, as often when you go to self-catering accommodation and there is literally nothing so cupboard staples are provided. Washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets/salt/rinse aid, washing powder, toilet roll, kitchen roll. There are towels provided for guests, however please could you bring your own beach towels. Please note that at our most popular times of the year bookings are a minimum of 3 nights - please ask and on most occasions there is a discount applied for weekly bookings (less than the nightly rate x7 ).
