Lovely small cottage near to everything

Very Clean Room. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was excellent!!

Excellent breakfast, wonderful friendly service and great room overlooking the ocean and beach.

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!

Nice efficient hotel in a perfect spot

It was our first time staying at the Nook in Deal.From the moment myself and my partner booked the Nook we were kept informed by the hosts which was fantastic that they did that.Once we arrived at the Nook we were shocked on how spacious it was as the hosts thought of everything that we needed.The mobile signal was very poor outside the Nook(Around the green) to get the code for the lock box but we overcome this in the end The check in process was very easy to understand especially the side entrance which makes gaining access easier.We were inspired by the kitchen drainer to the fact that we brought the same one for our home as it was fantastic.Unfortunately we did not get to use the hot tub but we saw that there were large towels for us to use if we wanted to.The heating was already on when we checked in however it did take us a few days to get used to how it all worked.Everything was supplied as you would expect and more which was fantastic to see at the Nook.We loved the review book where you could see previous reviews alongside the information book which covered everything that you needed information on.One improvement would be to have an air fryer in the Nook as there were 1 or 2 rainy days that prevented us from going out but overall a fantastic stay which we would happily stay again.Dave & LeoXx
