The property

The Retreat is an appealing house in Deal, Kent, offering flexible sleeping arrangements, an enclosed garden, and roadside parking available on a first-come, first-served basis, all within walking distance of the beach.

Step inside and find a homely base where groups of friends or families can settle in between days on the shingle shore and along the Kent coast.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is equipped with a gas range oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer, giving the designated cook all they need to rustle up hearty breakfasts or easy suppers after a day by the sea.

Move through to the dining room to gather for unhurried meals, board games, and plans for tomorrow’s adventures.

Afterwards, the sitting area invites you to stretch out on the sofa or sofa bed, and enjoy a film on the Smart TV as the evening draws in.

A handy utility with washer/dryer keeps beachwear fresh, while the enclosed garden with lawn, patio, and furniture offers a pleasant spot for morning coffee, simple barbecues, or a sundowner as the day fades.

Sleeping accommodation is spread across a ground-floor double bedroom, ideal for guests who prefer fewer stairs, plus two king-size bedrooms and a single room on the upper floor.

A family bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin, and WC serves the bedrooms, offering a soothing soak or quick rinse before heading out.

From The Retreat, stroll into Deal to discover its shingle beach, characterful pier, independent shops, and historic Deal Castle.

Nearby Walmer offers Walmer Castle and Gardens, leafy walks, and more shoreline to explore.

Further along the coast, Dover tempts with Dover Castle and the iconic White Cliffs, where clifftop paths reward you with sweeping sea views.

With its handy location and welcoming spaces, The Retreat provides a great base for exploring this characterful corner of the Kent coast.

DEAL

Dover 8.5 miles; Canterbury 19.3 miles.

Deal is an historic, Georgian coastal town boasting two castles, both open to the public, two small museums, and two markets held weekly. The town offers restaurants with cuisine ranging from the traditional, to exotic delicacies from the Orient, but, if fish is your desire then why not catch your own by enjoying a spot of fishing from the beach or pier? Deal Castle is an ideal place for children to explore, rugged and exciting with audio guides to help you get the best information, whilst taking in this impressive castle built in the time of Henry VIII. Walmer Castle, which became the home of The Duke of Wellington, and was the late Queen Mother's favourite, is just along the coast with gardens and tea rooms open from April until October, and their scones are highly recommended! Deal was the most important Naval base in Britain during the Age of Sail and although long gone, its maritime heritage is still inherent in its Conservation Area architecture and house names. Deal became a smuggler's paradise during the 1700s, and heritage street maps show where rum and brandy were rolled by casket avoiding the Excise men. Why not take the cycle path from Deal to Kingsdown, a pretty Kent village with views across to France? Here you can rest and recuperate in one of the three pubs all serving excellent food. If golf is your game then there are 12 courses nearby but Royal Cinque Ports, Royal St. Georges and Kingsdown are within an easy distance. For sheer imposing magnificence nearby Dover Castle is an absolute must visit on any visitor's list. Spectacularly situated above the White Cliffs of Dover, this magnificent castle has guarded our shores from invasion for 20 centuries. Deal won the Daily Telegraph's ‘High Street of the Year’ award in January, and was voted as the number one coastal town in Britain by them in November, 2014. Also named as one of the ‘top 30 weekend retreats’ in March 2014 by The Times, Deal is the perfect location for families and friends looking to pursue outdoor activities or laze on the beach enjoying the sea air. Stroll along the cobbled streets, sit and relax outside a bistro or tea room with a coffee, or just gaze out to sea; Deal has something for everyone!
