The Jolly Boat is a five-bedroomed holiday home, situated alongside the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch narrow gauge railway line and open fields. A perfect peaceful retreat for large families and friends to gather and explore the local area. A well-equipped kitchen to prepare meals, a spacious living room with a log burner and private garden to enjoy the sunshine. Built around 1909 by the RFC Royal Flying Corps by 1919 the RFC moved to Manston and the four airfield buildings were acquired by a local builder and converted into dwellings, two of which were purchased by the author Edith Nesbit (The Railway Children) with her husband who had been the skipper of the Woolwich ferry, they named them Long Boat and Jolly Boat. The property has several pieces of furniture owned by the author which remain in use to this day.

The sandy beach of St Marys Bay is a 10-minute stroll from the property, past a family friendly pub, local supermarket, and traditional fishmongers. A vast beach at low tide is ideal for beach games and ideal for flying kites with a promenade that takes you to Dymchurch and beyond, safe for cyclists old and young. Enjoy traditional seaside fare at Dymchurch with its amusement park, eateries and micropub

New Romney high street, home to independent retailers, restaurants and a local supermarket is a 5-minute drive from the property.

The miniature railway runs from Hythe and stops at Dymchurch, St Marys Bay, New Romney, Romney Sands and Dungeness which is a truly unique location. A haven for artists and fisherfolk alike, visit Derek Jarman’s house and garden, climb the lighthouse, view local artists work in their studios, the RSPB reserve and have locally caught fish at the local inn and restaurant.

The Romney Marsh is known for its natural beauty, sense of solitude and big skies and has been dubbed the "Fith continent" in recognition of its uniqueness. Local attractions include Littlestone golf club, Cinemarsh 46 seat cinema, and Lydd Karting circuit. Visit the Romney Marsh visitor’s centre to make the most of your time in the area.
