Salt water cottage
We had the most wonderful and relaxing stay what a beautiful cottage. Everything you could wish for , comfy bed , fabulous bathroom , loved the Jack and Jill loo upstairs. The kitchen downstairs with French doors looking out on to the courtyard, enjoying our breakfast each morning.
Great location, stones throw from the sea, coffee houses and trendy shops, a real village feel.
We have rented a few times with Keppers Cottages and they never disappoint.
We will definitely return.

October stay
Perfect location for the lovely town of Deal. Well equipped, spotlessly clean and well equipped. I would have no hesitation in booking this house or using Keepers cottages again.

Perfect Cottage for a Romantic Getaway!
We loved staying in Saltwater cottage - it is so perfect, well equipped and comfortable, and so tastefully decorated!
Very cosy too - when the weather turned, we enjoyed using the log burner and on the sunny days we used the BBQ and enjoyed the little garden. The beds are super comfortable with very good quality linens. Slept like a dream!
We would love to return!

Great stay, spotless, stylish, and peaceful. Host was responsive. A bit overpriced in my opinion.
Absolutely wonderful stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The host was responsive, check-in was seamless, and they even left thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The location was perfect too, close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. We didn’t use the BBQ during our stay, as it was left a bit dirty. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. All great but a bit overpriced in my opinion.

A fabulous home from home in central Deal
Saltwater Cottage is situated in the very atmospheric and historical streets of Deal. A hop and a skip from the High Street, with gorgeous indie shops and a thriving Saturday market, we fell in love with the town and this wonderful, stylish, and immaculate cottage. On 3 levels, the stairs are steep but the character is all there with the beautiful furnishings and artworks. The bedrooms are super comfortable, the bathroom is huge with a gorgeous freestanding bath and lush toiletries for guests to use, and the kitchen diner downstairs is a great place to hang out. The quality of everything was astounding. We absolutely loved it and didn’t want to leave.
The only “please be aware” issue we had was that we arrived in the dark and spent ages trying to find the keysafe, which wasn’t by the door as stated, but down near ground level under a window. We almost missed it in the gloom, and then found it awkward to get the key out because it was difficult to see the numbers and manipulate the catch whilst having to crouch down low. It wasn’t much easier in daylight either!

DELIGHTFUL COTTAGE, PERFECT LOCATION
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Saltwater Cottage. The kitchen was so well equipped - quite rare in a rental, i.e. sharp knives and every appliance you could possibly want! The cottage was extremely comfortable. I was staying there with my daughter so we had plenty of space. The ground floor sitting room was perfect for us, maybe quite small if 4 adults staying. However the kitchen area and dining space in the basement were very spacious. Everything was spotlessly clean and very well maintained.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A perfect seaside getaway.
One of the Best Cottages We've Stayed In!
We absolutely loved our stay at Saltwater Cottage in Deal – it truly stands out as one of the nicest holiday cottages we've ever experienced. The location is unbeatable, just a stone’s throw from the beach, making morning strolls and daily swims a daily luxury,
Deal itself is full of charm, with independent shops, lovely restaurants, and a relaxed atmosphere that instantly makes you feel on holiday. The cottage was immaculately clean, and every detail has clearly been thought through with care. The interior decor is beautiful, featuring tasteful artwork and stylish finishing touches that make it feel both cosy and refined.
The kitchen and bathroom were amazing – modern, pristine and stocked with everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, with high-quality linen that made for a perfect night’s sleep. The bbq and courtyard garden were amazing too!
We honestly couldn’t fault a thing. Saltwater Cottage is a real gem, and we couldn’t recommend it enough!
Thank you.
