Quintessential Cottages is a small privately-owned business with a very simple goal. Our aim is that a short stay in one of our 5-star luxury holiday cottages should provide you with the comfort, style and sophistication of a first class boutique hotel along with the privacy and freedom offered by a private home. Our first two properties are grade II listed smugglers' cottages nestled in the heart of the picturesque conservation area of Deal, Kent and only 50 metres from the beach. The cottages stand next door to one another and may be rented individually or as a pair, providing a unique opportunity for larger groups to enjoy a holiday away together.
