There's something about arriving at Two Rows Back that immediately feels right. A thoughtfully redesigned Georgian townhouse tucked in the heart of Deal, it sits just two streets from the sea. With a quietly striking interior that feels as considered as it is comfortable, it is the kind of home that draws in design-conscious visitors and families alike, and suits both perfectly. The ground floor opens into a beautiful open-plan living space, with a birch plywood kitchen with stainless steel worktop, a skylighted dining area with a dining table and chairs for six, and a sitting room with a corner sofa, wall mounted Smart TV and a wide window seat looking out onto the private courtyard garden. It's a lovely room to come back to after a day on the beach - shoes off, something cold from the fridge, feet up on the sofa. Exposed douglas fir joists run overhead, polished concrete floors with underfloor heating underfoot, and everywhere there is light. Outside, the whitewashed courtyard garden is a real bonus with bamboo, bulkhead lights and a table and benches, it is sheltered and entirely private. The first bedroom is on the ground floor, a lovely and cosy double. Upstairs, the house reveals its Georgian origins with original stripped floorboards, sash windows and cast iron radiators. Two further bedrooms, one double and one with bunk beds are calm and quietly beautiful with soft blush walls, they are the kind of rooms where you actually sleep well. Step outside and Deal is on your doorstep, the beach a few minutes' walk, the pier stretching out over the Channel, and one of the best independent high streets in Kent right around the corner. Great coffee, excellent delis, brilliant pubs, a Saturday market and Walmer Castle's gardens all within easy reach. It's a town that rewards slow exploration, and this house is the perfect base for it.

Beautiful house in Deal

Great locations and intriguingly designed interior offering a much larger space than you might think from looking at the house from the outside. It also benefits from having an exceptionally good fish and chip shop only a few doors down though sadly only open from Thursday through to Saturday. I recommend this as a restful and well appointed house in which it will be easy to relax. Should the weather not prove as wonderful as you would hoped. We had a great time there and swam every day and enjoyed it hugely

We’ve just come back from a few days in Deal and we’d go again tomorrow. The photos don’t oversell it. It’s warm, properly comfortable, and clearly looked after by someone who actually cares. Beds we didn’t want to get out of, a kitchen with everything you’d need rather than everything that fits, and enough space to spread out without feeling like you’re rattling around.

The location was excellent. You’re a short walk from the seafront, the pier and the good bit of the high street, so we barely used the car. Mornings on the shingle, afternoons wandering the old town, evenings back at the house with a bottle of something.

Communication before arrival was easy and clear, check-in was painless, and nothing needed chasing.

We had a really relaxing break at Two Rows Back. Great location near to the beach and the town plus a gorgeous house with such interesting, practical design features. A really refreshing change from home. We loved having the little courtyard at the back and the cool (in every way) flooring downstairs was so practical for hot summer days. Lovely airy modern feel to the kitchen/lounge area and comfy and cosy upstairs too. Everything we could have wished for. This was our sixth holiday in Deal with Keepers Cottages and we keep on coming back for more, which says it all really. Many thanks!

Lovely house. Surprising heat gain, especially in the children’s bedroom for what is in effect a new build architect designed home. It wasn’t even especially warm weather during our stay. Everything else was first class.

Brilliant and beautiful house.
Everything is so well considered for staying guests.
A well equipped kitchen.
Comfy beds.
Great open space to all spend time in together.
Great location for the beach and high street.
We’ve stayed in a good few places in Whitstable and Deal and they’ve all been nice bases, but we liked this so much we were happy to stay in and hangout.
Our kids are asking if we can move in, so we’ll no doubt be back.
On that note, the one tiny thing we could find missing that lots of other holiday homes provide, is basic kid crockery/cutlery/cups. That’s how nit-picky we have to get to come up with any real feedback.

The property was beautiful, very comfortable and in a very handy position.

The photos of the property were good but when we walked through the door we were very impressed.

We would recommend this property to our friends and family.
Thank you very much.

We had a wonderful week. The property was in excellent condition and beautifully designed. Great location to the town centre and the beach, though on road parking was a bit tricky at peak times. A great base for exploring the local areas of Deal, Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate. Would highly recommend.

We had a 4 night stay at 29 College Road Deal. The house met all our expectations.
The description was very accurate. The house was stylish, comfortable and had every convenience. It was spotlessly clean.The location was also excellent providing easy and quick access to the charming historical streets, the High Street and the seafront.
We particularly liked the comfortable beds and linen, the outdoor space and the charming welcome pack!
We were particularly grateful that Keepers Cottages were thougtful regarding our arrival time and nearby collection of keys.
Great service all round, thank you!
