Once home to Deal’s station masters, this quirky four-bedroom townhouse is now a welcoming holiday escape for families, friends and their faithful furry travellers, complete with a fully enclosed garden. 15 metres from the railway station and within 500 metres of the seafront, beach, shops and dog-friendly cafes, it's the perfect setting for a coastal break with your hound in tow.
Step inside and start your holiday journey in what used to be the station’s ticket office – now a bright hallway with a desk in case you need to catch up on emails between walkies. The cosy lounge boasts soft seating, and a Smart TV for evenings curled up with a snoozing pup at your feet. A handy cloakroom adds to the convenience. The lower-level kitchen/diner is ideal for group meals, and there’s also a utility area with a tumble dryer and fridge/freezer. On the first floor, you'll find a king-size bedroom, a twin room and a bunk room, plus a stylish family bathroom with a roll-top bath and walk-in shower. Tucked away in the eaves, the top-floor king-size bedroom is a peaceful retreat with a sofa and sloped ceilings. Out in the walled garden, fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco while your four-pawed pal snuffles in the flowerbeds or basks in a patch of sun. You’ll find parking 15 metres away in the station car park (local charges apply).
You and your dog will be well placed for beach strolls, castle adventures and countryside rambles. History buffs can sniff out the mighty Dover Castle (8 miles), while urban explorers can hop on the train to Canterbury (17.5 miles) for cathedral visits and boutique shopping – plenty of places here welcome well-behaved hounds. If you're keen to stretch the legs, Betteshanger Park (3 miles) offers trails, cycling, and nature walks.
