About this apartment rental
Welcome to Captain’s Cottage, this bright & airy property has 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms & a large kitchen/dining room. There is a pretty enclosed garden with casual seating. When you enter through the front door of Captain’s Cottage, you’ll be in no doubt that you are close to the sea as you explore the house & note the crisp blue & white coastal décor, stripped floorboards & interesting coastal finds carefully arranged in this lovely home.
The attractive, 2 storey property is located on Gilford Road, which is just a stone’s throw from Deal Castle, the famous seafront & all local amenities. Captain’s Cottage would suit couples, families or a small group of friends. There are 2 reception rooms, a large kitchen with an attractive dining area & a large, modern log burning fire, perfect for chilly nights!
The second reception room/study, benefits from a sofa bed which is large enough for an adult or 2 children. There are 2 bathrooms one located on the ground floor & 3 immaculately presented double bedrooms, all on the first floor.
Parking is limited on Gilford Road, however due to the central location, once you have arrived & unloaded your vehicle, you can park in one of the nearby streets for free & hopefully not need to use your car during your stay. The property is a short walk from Deal train station.
Entrance
Direct access from Gilford Road where two steps lead you through the front door & into the long hallway with wooden stripped floorboards & clean white décor.
Main Reception Room
To your right is the first of two receptions rooms. The cosy, front facing room has a huge & very comfortable modular sofa, smart TV, attractive lighting & occasional table. There is an original fireplace which has been fitted with a gas fire.
Rear Reception Room
The second reception room / study is along the corridor to your right & has a view of the pretty garden. This room also has a useful workspace desk, sofa bed, extra seating & a large original fireplace. * Please note, at present the open fireplace is not in use.
Kitchen /Dining Room
The bright & freshly decorated large kitchen/diner is arranged over the rear of the ground floor with direct access to the garden from two separate doorways. The stylish circular dining table comfortably seats 6 people, the well-equipped kitchen is large enough for the ‘chef’ in the group to prepare meals in comfort whilst the rest of the party sit & chat. There is a cooker, microwave, fridge freezer & dishwasher. There are both built in & fitted kitchen cupboards with an array of china, glassware & cooking equipment to ensure you have everything you require during your stay.
Ground Floor Bathroom & Utility Area
The first of the 2 bathrooms is located on this floor & has a walk-in shower cubicle with electric shower, handbasin & WC. There is a separate small utility area with washing machine & tumble drier. Access to the garden is possible from here, as well as from the dining area.
First Floor
Sisal carpeted stairs lead you to the first floor where to the rear are 2 double bedrooms with double beds, attractive décor, TV & generous storage.
Rear Facing Bedrooms
The two rear bedrooms have double beds, TV, generous storage & both benefit from stunning views of an area of unspoilt ‘meadow’, owned by English Heritage. There are also tantalising glimpses of the sea from both of these tastefully decorated, bright bedrooms.
Master Bathroom & WC
The master bathroom is located in the centre of the first floor & has a built-in bath, separate shower cubicle with an electric shower & handbasin. The separate WC is next-door.
Master Bedroom
The third & final bedroom is located via a few stairs & has a street view. This is the largest of the 3 bedrooms & has a double bed, ample storage & TV.

The pretty enclosed garden has been thoughtfully planted with an array of white flowering plants & evergreens. There is a paved area with a fresh, white, casual table & chairs perfect to sit & have a morning coffee or perhaps a sundowner or a BBQ!

Very comfortable accommodation and plenty of space.

We had a wonderful three-week stay at Captain's Cottage. The location is perfect - especially for young families or older visitors - with the beach, the castle, the playground, the amenities at Roman Landings and the large supermarkets all on the doorstep. The bedrooms are all generously sized and with two bathrooms and two WCs, it's easy to have some privacy. The property itself is in need of some TLC, but with young children, friends and family all visiting us, it suited us that way. The team at Keeper's Cottages were quick to respond to issues and were always helpful and polite. Thank you for a great stay.

Captain’s cottage is ideally located for the beach and enjoying Deal shops. The house has 3 spacious bedrooms with the luxury of 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is a good size, fully equipped and with access to the small paved garden. Plenty of living space.

The positives - Captain's cottage is well located near to the seafront and the town centre, a good location for guests using public transport. There is a good amount of space and the kitchen is well equipped. The wi-fi was good, once we had found the router with the details. Keepers Cottage were very helpul and quick to send out a handyman to oil the stiff locks (including one which almost left me stuck in the downstairs loo on the first night), and to replace several faulty bulbs. The down side - quite few things didn't work, the furniture is an odd mixture of old and new, lots of the cupboards are full of old stuff (eg the older fitted cupboards in the kitchen which smelt musty, leaving nowhere to store our food). There seemed to be something wrong with the wiring as the landing light failed again soon after the bulb was replaced - then we realised why someone had left a standard lamp on the landing. The BT TV box and remote didn't work (too many dead buttons on the remote and missing an internet connection). The guest information booklet needs updating to include information about things like wi-fi SSID and password, bin days and recycling, and about parking - it says you can park outside, but the road is now in a controlled zone and there is no parking permit in the house. It also says the fires escape route is via the side alley, but the street door is locked and there is no key in the house.
