Description

Old Barn Cottage is nestled right in the heart of the unspoilt village of Newchurch, one of the oldest parts of Romney Marsh and in the heart of unspoilt peaceful countryside.   This property is attached to its sister property Barn End and retains many of its' original beams. It is an excellent base for walking, cycling and bird watching.  The garden views stretch for miles and you can step out from your door to explore the many walks along the Royal Military Canal.  This area is steeped in history with many historic buildings and churches and not forgetting the smugglers that made good use of the sandy beaches along the coastline. Why not climb aboard the miniature railway at Hythe where you can take a trip to the shingle headland at Dungeness or catch a steam train from Tenterden to the ancient castle at Bodiam.  Port Lympne and Howletts Wildlife Parks are nearby and the Eurotunnel and Dover are within easy reach for channel crossings. There is a friendly restaurant just along the road for a hearty meal after a long day of adventure, where you can sit, relax and just simply unwind!  Shop: 5 miles  Pub: 3 miles Coast: 5 miles

Reviews

Property did the job for us and the grandchildren. You definitely need a car when staying here as it's about a 15 minute drive to get onto any main roads. Lots of tourist leaflets to look through but sadly many of them years out of date

Mrs V,

Property was easy to reach in a beautiful part of Kent, which allowed us to explore the surrounding area and visit several places to which we had been before (Rye, Broadstairs, Pluckley, Brookland). All in all a perfectly sited location.

Mr Maurice H,

Thank you for a lovely stay, our dog adored Lucy. Although we have not had much luck with our car we enjoyed our stay in the cottage. So quiet!

Past Customer,

Great place for us to base ourselves for a wedding at The Priory. The weather has been perfect too!

Past Customer,

We've had a lovely week in the cottage, nice quiet place with everything we need. We went to Dungeness in the lovely little train and to Dover Castle and Lympne Safari Park. The children loved to swim in the sea!

Past Customer,

We have had an enjoyable week, despite our activities being limited by the heatwave! Both ourselves and our dog loved the garden and the weeping willow. Recommendations: The restaurant in Newchurch, The Fish Shack in Dungeness, The Red Lion in Snargate, The Railway and in particular, the guy selling the best coffee at St Marys Bay

Past Customer,

The cottage was cosy. Had days out in St Marys Bay, Hastings, Lydd, Biddenden, Tenterden and watched Air Display in Eastbourne. Shopping wise, Sainsburys in New Romney good! Weather good, only 1 pm of rain. Lucy very friendly!

Past Customer,

NT properties worth a visit are Chartwell, Bodiam Castle, Scotney Castle, White Cliffs. Also recommend Dover Castle, Breznett Aeronautical Museum and walking along military canal from Hythe. At Hastings East Hill Funicular Railway up to nature reserve gives great views over Hastings!

Past Customer,

So lucky with the weather - Autumn sun and colours are beautiful. Revisiting childhood haunts around Dover and the villages and of course 'The Castle'. This is the perfect base, well equipped, so comfortable. Recommend The Cobblers Tea Room in Rye for a cream tea. RHDR of course too.

Past Customer,
