The Beach House
Let the beach become your garden. Direct access to miles of natural sandy beaches barely touched by commercialisation. This spacious, family home has been our weekend/holiday bolt hole since we bought it newly built 17 years ago. The large upstairs sitting room with balcony offers uninterrupted views across the Channel instilling a sense of calm and relaxation. Downstairs, a terrific kitchen/breakfast room provides the hub of the home where everyone can gather to cook the cockles collected or create interesting pictures from the myriad of different shells found on the beach. (Kitchen refitted May 2008). A small garden at the rear provides outdoor dining for those warmer days but it is the gate directly to the beach that really provides the icing on the cake. Finally, for golfers you are only 10 minutes walk away from Littlestone Golf Club with it's links course and 10 minutes drive from Lydd driving range. Free secure WiFi

Greatstone and Littlestone are two relatively small residential areas set within the bay which extends from Folkestone to Dungerness. Backed by Romney Marsh and the Cinque Port of New Romney, the sands extend from one end to the other. The beach front is a combination of sandy beach, shingle sea wall protection and natural sand dunes. During the summer months, the water is gently warmed as it creeps back in over the mile of flat sand allowing for safe and fun bathing. The seaside towns of Hythe and Rye are both within easy driving distance. The town of New Romney offers most shopping requirements whilst just across the road there is a Spar store offering all essentials.

Local Attractions
The famous Romney Hythe and Dymchurch, miniature steam train stops less than 1 mile from the house. Trains run all year between Dungerness and Hythe with 'special days' operating throughout the year. These include Thomas the Tank engine days and Santa Specials. Listen out for the toot toot of the whistle as the train steams it way through Romney Marsh. Visit Dungerness and climb to the top of the old lighthouse. On route stop to view the houses at Dungerness built using train carriages as the hub. Check out the cactus garden of the late Derek Jarmen (film director). Take the steam train to Dymchurch and visit the funfair and arcade particularly suitable for younger children. 'Penny Falls' which now swallow 2p coins still provide plenty of excitement for young and old.
Dining and Drinking
An abundance of pubs, restaurants and the famous 'Pilot' fish and chip restaurant are all close by the nearest being the local pub the Seahorse. For serious ale drinkers, we will, with a little prompting, reveal the name and location of a local pub unchanged for nearly 100 years where the words 'ice' and alcopop' do not exist......

Review Submitted: July 08, 2008, Date of stay: July, 2008
We spent a long weekend in this lovely house which catered for everyone's needs with some nice personal touches too (curly wurly's - my favourite). Great views of the sea as well as easy access to the beach. Seahorse pub along the road very friendly with reasonably priced food. The Pilot Restaurant/pub was also good with a nice family atmosphere. Ensure you visit Rye - very picturesque - the cream tea in the Mermaid Tea Shop was the best! Unfortunately we didn't 'fly our kite' coz we don't own one but Monday's windy weather would have been ideal. & yes..... Spa across the road...... can I add anymore..... I bet they sell kites! All in all a relaxing weekend in lovely surroundings & hope to come back. Thanks.
Owner's response:
Indeed they do sell kites!
