The Artist's House, in Deal, Kent is a quirky holiday home sleeping 2 people in 1 bedroom. Nestled in Deal's Conservation area, just minutes from the sea and the high street, The Artist's House is the perfect home for a couple's getaway to the seaside.
Welcome to The Artist’s House. This truly gorgeous one bedroom house has been designed by the artist and designer Steve Thomas, who created Big Biba and was Sir Paul McCartney’s personal designer. Hidden away In Deal’s pretty conservation area in a very quiet mews, just minutes from the sea and the high street, The Artist’s House is an ideal space for a couples retreat to the seaside. As you enter through the stable door, you are immediately struck by an incredible array of artwork and sculptures, with bright light flooding through the huge skylight from on high. Although there is only one bedroom, this home is incredibly spacious and there is plenty of room for a blow up bed (which we would provide plus the bedding), perfect for children. This is the ideal home for couples, particularly if interested in the arts!Entrance

Testimonials
A special place to stay in a beautiful unspoilt seaside town. The space in the cottage is uplifting, airy and light. We enjoyed looking at the many books on art and design and being surrounded by the art work on the walls. The cottage had everything we needed and more! We had glorious weather and it was great to be so near the beach if we fancied a swim. Mrs E Blayney, September 2020
This place is totally unique, could have easily spent a week here taking in all the artworks and books. Very Comfy bed, great open kitchen lounge area and so near to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants 👍 Thanks Camilla, we had a fabulous stay in the studio and would love to return as it was so comfortable and a visual feast on every wall. Nice to meet Steve the artist too. See you next time. Karen and Geoff Karen and Geoff from Dubai, August 2018
Hello I wanted to leave a review but couldn't see how to on your website, so I thought that I'd write one below and then you can add it if you wish. We had a lovely week in Deal staying at The Artists House. It's a quiet location but only a two minute walk to the sea and three to the shops.Plenty of free parking a five minute walk is a bonus. Steve the artist, who lives next door and owns the property is well worth a chat to. I can't recommend the property too much and would love to return in the near future. Stephen Cotton, July 2018
My partner and I had a wonderful time and the artists house was perfect. We will return there again as Deal is a great resort and there is so much to see and do in this historical part of East Kent. The cottage is about 60 yards from the beach and there are great walks west to Walmer Castle and east to Sandwich. The holiday was made better by the hot weather that was modified by the gentle sea breeze It is a venue of castles, Dover,Deal, Walmer and Richborough, each in it's own way contributing to the growth of England from Roman times forward/ The cottage was full of paintings and prints and next time I shall buy! A great stop! TIM MACHIN, July 2018
We were the first guests to stay at the Artist's Studio and what a fabulous place it is. It's perfectly kitted out, wonderfully located - just a short stroll to the beach, bars, restaurants and shops - and the bed is ridiculously comfy. But the best thing about this pad was being surrounded by beautiful, curious and inspiring art. Joyful! We'll definitely be back. Paul Ashby, October 2017
