The Jolly Boat
The Jolly Boat is a bungalow on St Mary's Bay in Kent. It's detached and sits right next to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch miniature railway line. There are open fields on the other side. It's peaceful, but you will hear the trains sometimes. It's nice, actually.
It sleeps ten people. There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's got a 4 Star rating. The place is spacious, not fancy. It was built around 1909 as an airfield building. The author Edith Nesbit used to own it. Some of her furniture is still here.
The living room has a wood burner. The kitchen is well-equipped. The garden is enclosed and private. There's parking on site.
The sandy beach is about a ten minute walk. You pass a pub, a shop, and a fishmonger on the way. The beach is huge at low tide, good for games or flying a kite. You can walk along the promenade to Dymchurch.
Dymchurch has an amusement park and places to eat. New Romney high street is a five minute drive for more shops and supermarkets.
The miniature railway is handy. It goes from Hythe to Dungeness. Dungeness is a very unusual place, all shingle. You can visit Derek Jarman's garden, climb the lighthouse, or go to the RSPB reserve there.
Other things nearby: Littlestone golf club, a small local cinema, and a go-karting track. The whole area is the Romney Marsh. It's very flat with big skies, good for walking and cycling.
Facilities include a washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, and a BBQ. Bedding and towels are included. We can provide a cot and highchair. Sorry, no pets.
