Overview
Property code: OC-46913

Situated in St Mary’s Bay on the edge of the unspoilt Romney Marsh, this pretty cottage is ideally located to explore the Kent coastline. Don’t miss a trip to Dungeness, which boasts big dramatic skies, a shingle beach and spectacular scenery set within a 468-acre nature reserve. Once you have finished exploring the area on foot, hop on the nearby Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway to forge the Kent coastline or climb to the top of the Old Dungeness Lighthouse where, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to spot the French coastline. Families will also enjoy a trip to nearby Port Lympne Safari Park and for those looking for some culture take a trip to nearby Canterbury with its stunning Cathedral and boutique shopping.

On arrival at the property you will immediately be struck by the open space and tranquil location. Steps leading up to the front door bring you to the porch, a handy place to leave sandy shoes after a day at the beach. Step though into the lounge which features a wood burner, comfy sofas and spectacular sea views through the large windows. Equipped with a TV/DVD, this is an inviting space in which to relax on an evening after a long day exploring the coast. Walk through to the cosy kitchen/diner where you will find everything you will need for your stay, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, toaster, fridge and a dishwasher, plus a separate larder with a freezer and washer/dryer. The ground floor bedroom is a comfortable small double, and also on the ground floor is a shower room with shower and WC and a separate bathroom with stylish original roll-top bath and WC. Heading up the stairs you will find two bedrooms, a double with dual aspect windows offering far reaching sea views overlooking the bay, towards the french coastline, and a twin bedroom that also offers spectacular sea views from the front of the property.

Outside the property is surrounded by a wild seaside garden, with a path that offers direct beach access to the promenade, and on to the beach. There is a table and chairs in the garden and a charcoal BBQ for the perfect end to your day. There is also private parking for two cars.

The cottage is beautiful! It is so very well equipped, secure and peaceful. I couldnt believe how many blankets there were and how fantastically stocked the kitchen was. We sat in the conservatory area/ outside in the morning with mum in the sunshine for at least an hour everyday with a cuppa and she was so relaxed. At 80 an old cottage with a bigRead more garden was perfect for her. We loved it and intend on rebooking next year. Thank you so much. Hide

We had a lovely stay. The location is amazing. Watched the sunrise over the sea from my bed. We made use of the direct access to the beach every day. The kitchen was very well equipped and although the weather was not always at its best we were always warm and comfy inside.

A charming cottage that was really well equipped (I cook a lot and it had everything I needed). Clean and comfortable for our family of three. The wild, seaside garden was enjoyed by us and the local birds, insects and rabbits. There isn't much in St. Mary's Bay other than the rather peaceful pebble beach, but New Romney and Hythe are only a short Read moredrive away. You can walk to Dymchurch which has a little fair and arcade for the children. A great little base for exploring the area. Hide
