4 bedroom accommodation in Lydd-on-Sea, near Dungeness
Wow! What a location. Sea and shingle views for miles. So much to explore and with a local pub and fish shop within minutes walking distance. Why not take a trip on the steam train?. Ground Floor:
Living/dining room: Freeview TV, DVD Player
Kitchen: Electric Cooker, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Separate Toilet.. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Rear decking with garden furniture and barbecue. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Gull House sits right on the border of Lydd-on-Sea overlooking Dungeness and its picturesque shingle beach. Dungeness is a tiny fishing hamlet at the southernmost point of Kent, but it certainly does have a lot to offer! A range of fishing boats and converted wooden shacks having been turned into architectural delights providing sanctuary from a busy life, sit between the abundance of birdlife that call Dungeness home. Perfect for families wanting a beach holiday, ramblers and dog walkers for long walks or bird watchers with RSPB Dungeness nature reserve nearby. If you prefer to hire a bike in Dungeness, you can cycle over Europe’s largest expanse of shingle.
Gull House really does offer something for everyone. The mixture of scenery is set within the backdrop of Dungeness lighthouse which assisted ships in trouble in the English Channel up until 1960. From the top of the lighthouse, you will be able to see miles across both Dungeness and Romney Marsh. You can watcht the sun rise from the back garden. Comfortable, functional shabby chic house with a beach theme throughout, Gull House is very welcoming and the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Offering a large open plan living room and dining room downstairs with a separate kitchen the doors to the rear of the property look directly over the shingle and beyond. Upstairs the property boasts two double bedrooms, a twin bedroom, and a single bedroom. A newly fitted toilet upstairs complements the new family bathroom downstairs with a large walk-in shower, perfect for washing off the sea water after a day on the beach. Of an evening, the enclosed garden provides the perfect spot to relax and for al fresco dining, however, no light pollution from streetlights makes it the perfect spot for star gazing. Gull House also welcomes your furry friends to join in the fun!
Running alongside the property during the day is the steam railway so you will be able to wave at tourists or locals as they head across the landscape to explore further. This is just one of the exciting quirks that the landscape has to offer. A hop over the tracks leads you to the local pub within a few steps along with a fresh seafood shop also selling other groceries opposite. You have everything to hand to be able to relax and enjoy your stay. Should you wish to explore further afield then towns such as Rye, Camber, New Romney, and Ashford are all a short drive away and offer a variety of other attractions. Camber and its sand dunes stretching for miles offer an alternative to the shingle and the historic town of Rye with its cobbled streets and historic buildings makes for a great day out. Hythe to the east and Hastings to the west are both worth a visit.

We had a super week in Gull House well equipped and comfortable.
We had a super week in Gull House well equipped and comfortable. The pilot pub next door is a great place for eating out. The Hythe and Romney miniature railway runs next to the garden and the clear sky at night meant the stars looked magnificent. Dungeness is a place like no other so all in all we had a great week.
Extremely pleasant house with views from bedroom windows and plenty of living space.

Gull Cottage has a charm all of its own.
Gull Cottage has a charm all of its own. The longer you stay the more fond you become of it. Comfortable beds and plenty of space. Upstairs toilet was appreciated with 7 adults. We were lucky with the weather and managed to sit outside, which was very pleasant. Pub next door seemed nice, but we only had a drink, we didn't eat. Three cars fit on the drive...just! We unfortunately had an issue with the shower, which the owner did make us aware of. Welcome milk and biscuits was a nice touch.
Arrived and the instructions were easy to follow, house was ready, and thank you for the welcome basket and dog biscuits. was aware of some of the existing problems but they did not stop us from enjoying the break. ( if you want steep and weird stairs try booking the birdcage in port Isacc) it was quiet and the walks were amazing, met a seal on the beach and watched the fisherman looking for clams. thank you for the rest from a very busy life.
