Tally Ho sits right in the middle of Middle Street, one of Deal’s most characterful and well-loved streets, placing you at the very heart of town life. From here, the seafront is only a short walk away (less than two minutes), making it easy to dip into early morning walks by the sea or wander down to the promenade as the day unfolds. Everything feels close, walkable and effortlessly connected, with the rhythm of Deal right on your doorstep.
Middle Street itself is a destination in its own right. Just below sits the high street, lined with independent shops, antiques dealers and local favourites that reward slow browsing. Middle Street Coffee sits at one end for an easy start to the day, while The Ship Inn, placed partway along this historic street, remains a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike for relaxed lunches and evening drinks. At the other end, Sandown Castle leads directly onto beautiful beach walks and the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Course.
Deal Pier is always worth a visit for classic seaside views, while Deal Castle and Walmer Castle add depth and history just beyond the town centre. For guests who prefer country walks and historic sites, there’s plenty of choice nearby, including a fabulous coastal walk to Kingsdown and St Margaret’s Bay. Golfers are spoilt for choice with the local clubs of Royal Cinque Ports and Walmer & Kingsdown golf clubs. Whilst the championship courses of Royal St George’s, and Princes are a short drive away.
Deal railway station provides direct services to London, making Tally Ho an ideal base for both short breaks and longer stays, whether you’re soaking up coastal life or exploring further across Kent.
