Jewel Pier *2 Bed House* Deal

Beds were super soft and comfy fluffy duvet. Fridge and kitchen spotlessly clean, washing up liquid and soap. Bathroom had lots of supplies in the cupboard. Shower had lots of warm water and good pressure. Location was perfect so quiet but so close to all the shops and restaurants.

Shower was a weird design, water splashed on to edge of bath and had to be cleaned up. Wifi box dangling on leads, worked fine. Would have been nice to have a welcome book with how to turn heating on, etc. and local recommendations.

Close to town centre

Nice little two bed property. Comfortable Appreciated the travel cot.

Main issue was that we booked because it advertised as having parking as we have a little baby. This property did not have parking. There is on street parking limited to two hours, no return, between 8.30am and 5.30pm. On a Saturday in Deal it’s almost impossible to park so I spent the morning driving around and moving the car on what was our first trip since having a baby. I had to feed my baby in the car. If the owner/agent had just mentioned this to us we could have parked the car in a car park the night before and not ruined our first morning. Other issues included very creaky bed and floorboards upstairs, broken lock on front door, shower that goes everywhere and cold downstairs. Overall we felt this was too expensive for what you got.

The house is a lovely venue, in a quiet road, that was about 5 minutes from the high street, restaurants and pubs

Location is great, very central and easy to walk everywhere. Cottage is perfect for 2, stairs are quite narrow and steep which may be a concern if you have mobility issues but there was everything you could need.

The location close to town, we were off season so there was on street parking. We had issues with this property, and it was edifying to find the agents agent’s response to our issues was prompt and pragmatic.

14 Water Lane, Deal: I truly hope this property gets the upgrades it needs, so no one else is a let down as we were. The property images were evidently taken several years ago and so are misleading. There is evidence of damp, the floors are lifting the decor and furniture is tired. Security- the instructions on the Keeley Stays portal refers to two keys for the front door. We only received 1 key (a yale) and so were unable to secure the property. Bathroom- The images on the website are completely misleading. The lighting is not in full working order. There is no plug in the bathroom sink so you can’t use it to wash when the bath/shower is a hazard. Moving to the shower/bath and surround. The front ledge is breaking up with sharp edges, and cracking away from the grouting/fixing compound. This is also dirty and dangerous especially as there is no grab rail and the glass screen has been screwed closed. The end of the bath where the shower is situated, the tiling has completely collapsed, leaving a large hole the width of the bath. Furthermore there is cracked tiling at the back. Kitchen I spent 45 mins defrosting the freezer so it was useable. Backdoor - is rotten and insecure. Stair carpet is dirty and starting to lift making it unsafe. Garden - really looking very tired and not at all as per the images.

Lovely cottage - exactly as described. Very central, clean and comfortable too.
