Samphire, 7 Griffin Street, Deal, Kent, CT14 6LH

Your home is in such a lovely part of Deal for pottering about, and the surrounding area is wonderful to explore too. We enjoyed swimming each day and then having just a short walk back home. The house has so many places to relax with the outside courtyard, as well as the dining area, and two lounges. We would love to come again with it feeling like a home from home. Many thanks, Susie.

I have stayed here a couple of times as it is perfectly located in the old part of Deal. The 3 bedrooms upstairs are bright and airy, comfy beds and quaint with a bathroom and anther seperate toilet. They have just renovated the kitchen seating area which was a lovely surprise, it is now a large, bright and sunny space givien access to a really cute little garden.

We usually go out to the fabulous restuarants nearby but make breakfast in the morning, great kitchen with all the amenities as well as a washing machine and dish washer.

There are 2 TV rooms which is great (one can double up as a snug/bedroom) and the best thing it is really quiet and peaceful. Great place for family and friends.

Me and my daughter and 2 sets of twins have just returned from a delightful visit at samphire house. The cottage is a listed property a stones throw from the beach. The cottage is on 4 floors and looks full of original features. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and I'm so pleased they catered for children with a selection of plastic plates and beakers. Along with adequate crockery. These cottages are old quaint and delightful and modernisation would be a crime we loved it just the way it is.

Samphire House is in a beautiful location, just a few minutes walk from the pebbly beach in Deal.

The house itself is over four floors, in the cellar is a lounge with two sofa beds. We made one up for our son to sleep on, but had to move him as the smell of damp was over powering. This room needs freshening up as the smell is quite bad.

The middle floor (lower ground) was clean and quaint, with comfortable furniture in the lounge.

The kitchen area was acceptable, with an oven, microwave and dishwasher. There was a narrow breakfast bar that could seat two people.

The conservatory leads off from the kitchen. It had a table that seats four people. This led out to a small courtyard garden.

Upstairs was a lovely master bedroom with a comfortable queen-size bed. Then there was the main bathroom with a toilet and a separate toilet next to it.

On the top level, (with very steep stairs) were two further bedrooms. One with twin beds and one with a double bed.

The house has lots of lovely original features, but could do with modernisation.

The location was beautiful, but the smell from the damp cellar permeated throughout the house, which ruined our stay. I would not book this place again.

Firstly, if you are looking for a minimalist house without personal items then this is not for you. If however, you want somewhere quirky, with steep stairs but lots of character that's in a really really great location and that has a little outside space for sitting and chatting and a separate second lower lounge snug (perfect for the football watchers amongst our group) and only a two minute walk from the beach or town, then this is for you.

The cottage was well equipped, okay it's a little dated and maybe not to my taste but it may be to yours, and it was certainly clean enough (I'm not on Four in a Bed so I didn't lift the mattresses or inspect the bathroom with a microscope!) and the location was spot on being in the conservation area, and we got parked for free just up the road after unloading at the door. There were 5 of us and it's certainly big enough, but do be careful as if you aren't that mobile as the stairs are quite a challenge. Overall I would recommend if you want a comfortable weekend in Deal.

A beautiful house in the heart of the historic and best part of Deal. Lots of character, period features but all the facilities you could wish for. Its a large house with lots of rooms to explore which my young son loved, particularly the den! We stay in deal every year and this is the best place we've found, we all loved it. Cath our host was lovely too, brilliant friendly comms. It made for a wonderful long weekend, thanks so much! :)

Hello Cath,

Thank for your contribution to what was an excellent holiday.

We've been visiting Deal annually for over 12 years now and Samphire is easily one of the best holiday cottages we've ever stayed in; local to the seafront and high street and exceptionally well equipped - In addition to that there are the quaint and very comfortable aspects of the cottage itself. It is a real home from home.

The only downside - which we couldn't have predicted - was that when we made the booking, I did not realise/know that I would be bedding in a new replacement

Samphire House is set over four floors with wonderful rooms full of all the things you need for a perfect stay plus more! I would stay again in a heart beat, very close to the beach, town and local attractions. Deal is a beautiful seaside town, very well kept and welcoming. My family and I decided to go on the Wednesday and by the Thursday we were there! The owner, Cath, made the whole experience very easy. Many thanks, we'll be back!
