Former Professional Cricketer and Captain Kent CCC. Owner of holiday cottages in Deal (Pebble Beach, Goodwin Sands, Lifeboat Cottage, Captains Cabin,Shelley Beach + Seashell Cottage) and Sandwich (Delf Stream)

Just a stone’s throw from the sea, Goodwin Sands Cottage is perfectly placed for you to enjoy all the many charms of Deal. Its peaceful location guarantees a good night’s sleep, yet the lively High Street with its quirky independent shops, markets and cafés is a mere stroll away along the unspoilt promenade. An even shorter walk brings you to the Strand, where you’ll find the green and bandstand, a family run bakery, pubs, convenience stores and one of Deal’s best breakfast spots looking out over the Channel. You can even buy freshly caught fish direct from the boatmen on the beach. Everything you need is right here. Deal itself is a picture perfect Georgian seaside town, rich in maritime history, with two proper castles, local museums and a striking modernist pier all worth a visit. Further afield within a thirty minute drive are Dover Castle, the cathedral city of Canterbury and the major shopping outlet at Ashford. If you prefer two legs or two wheels, there are plenty of country and coastal paths and trails just waiting to be explored. Free WiFi, Sky Tv Please be aware you access bathroom via 2nd bedroom
