"We booked the Lily Room at the Blue Pigeon for our wedding anniversary, hoping for a quiet, restorative escape after a demanding few months. Unfortunately, the stay didn't quite deliver on that promise — though it wasn't without its highlights. Arrival set an unexpected tone. We walked into what appeared to be a large, lively bottomless brunch gathering — very much a party atmosphere — and could barely hear the receptionist over the noise. For guests seeking a peaceful retreat, this was quite a jolt, and felt at odds with how the hotel presents itself. The room itself was genuinely lovely. Beautifully decorated, well-furnished, and thoughtfully put together with real attention to detail — exactly what you'd hope for at this price point, and credit where it's due. Sadly, sleep was impossible. The church directly opposite chimes on the hour, every hour, throughout the night — something we weren't forewarned about. The room also ran very hot despite no radiators being on, and opening the window only amplified the bells. By morning, having had no sleep whatsoever, we missed breakfast entirely so can’t comment on that. The Blue Pigeon clearly has the bones of something special, shows real care in its design. But the overall experience felt confused — the branding suggests a calm, boutique bolthole, while the reality on our visit was quite different. A little more consistency between the two, would consider returning! "

"The property was warm and cosy, kitchen equipment was disappointing. The house could do with some TLC"

"Lovely house, thank you.Only slight confusion was that the key fob for the garage wasnt on the hall table, but we found it in the key safe. "

"A small cottage - ideal for couples - very close to the beach and we were able to park outside for free which is a bonus in Deal. On the downside - we felt that the absence of an instruction manual in the house and book explaining about local facilities was disappointing. There is also no shower - with the shower attached to the bath either providing hot or cold water not a mix of both. Overall it was good value for money and provided a nice break by the sea."

"The apartment was spacious, elegant, relaxing, well-equipped and very convenient. The host was very responsive, helpful and communicated really well. Even though it was cold outside the living room was very warm and toasty. We had no trouble with parking right outside on the road. The bedrooms were huge and lovely to have two en-suites, with very nice toiletries provided. Although we didn’t use it as it was Winter, the patio area was private and attractive. It was easy to walk into Deal with its lovely shops, pubs and restaurants and also we were straight onto the seafront with beautiful views and walks. Overall we had a lovely stay. "
