Pink Is the New Black

Pink Is the New Black: Kent

If you're looking for a home with character, you've found it with this one. We absolutely love how the host's personal style shines through this home, but it's so beautifully done that anyone can appreciate it. It's clear that a lot of love has gone into this, from the wallpapered panels in the cosy living room to the toys in the third bedroom. Even the bathrooms are an interior design marvel. The home is perfectly twee and cheerful, ideal for a family to spend a lovely seaside getaway.

You'll love mornings in your bright cottage. For an extra special breakfast, why not take the short two-minute walk to the High Street and pick up pastries from the bakery, maybe even some sausages and bacon from the butchers? Take them back home for a beautiful spread out in the fabulously decorated courtyard, feeling the morning sun on your face as you sip your fresh coffee. Then, when it's time to explore, just walking around the colourful streets of Deal is a treat. You could take the short fifteen-minute walk to Deal Castle before eating classic fish and chips on the beach. And if you like contemporary art, you'll love it here – the Linden Hall Studio is just a five-minute walk away and full of mesmerising art, etchings, and sculptures. Come nighttime, Deal offers plenty of artsy bars and buzzing restaurants to tickle your fancy. Or, enjoy a relaxed dinner at home, there's something about cooking in this kitchen that can transport you to another time.
