Quirky bungalow on coastal walk with distant sea views. Fully secure garden.

Welcome to our quirky holiday home located in Bishopstone. We are a 6 minute stroll through the fairy woods to the beach, then a further 25 minute walk to Herne Bay Town. From the bungalow we are a 25 minute walk to Reculver Towers.
We just love the view of the fields from the front of our bungalow and the distant sea views from the back. We are just a six minute stroll through the fairy woods to the beach.
We welcome up to two well-behaved dogs and our bungalow sleeps up to 6 people (plus a baby in a cot).
In bedroom 1 we have a kingsize bed and TV with Netflix & Amazon prime
In bedroom 2 we have a double bed with the added benefit of an en-suite shower room & toilet.
In bedroom 3 we have a trundle and single bed which can be set up as a twin room or put together to create a kingsize bed.
There are two bathrooms, the main shared one and one in the en-suite bedroom (both of which have large shower enclosures).
We have a secure enclosed garden with table and chairs for al fresco dining and large garden games, including the giant chess set.
Bedding and towels are provided, including plenty of dog towels to wipe/wash down our furry friends (if you have one) :)
We have a type 2 EV charger for your convenience, please just ask us for the code (a cost charge via bank transfer after stay will be applied). Our home is ideally situated for people who love the outdoors, enjoy walks and being near the coast. We are close enough to Herne Bay Town and just a short drive away from Whitstable and Canterbury along with some of the other lovely Kent towns.

Family break
This property is in a great location. It was spotlessly cleaned and had everything you could possibly need. The owner had liaised with me before arrival and had toddler proofed the property so we could relax and enjoy the space. So many quirky touches that enhanced the experience. This was a family break with a toddler, her mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and each generation was comfortable and enjoyed the stay.

Beautiful Bungalow
A Lovely light spacious bungalow, with stylish and humorous touches throughout the space. A large well equipped kitchen with everything you could ever need. All comfort was considered and the creative fun element extended into the generous size garden. Set in a tranquil area with un-spoilt beautiful beaches within walking distance. We couldn't have asked for a nicer break. We'll definitely be visiting again soon.

Just Gorgeous
Firstly the hosts are excellent. So kind and generous and great communications. It was my mother’s 84th birthday and they left her a card, present, banner and cakes , just brilliant she was so delighted. Secondly the house is just fabulous. It’s so well equipped and the deco makes you feel like you are in a pent house suite. The location is so lovely, so close to the beach and great dog walks and so near so many shops and retail parks. I really can’t recommend it highly enough. It was our second time staying there and we will go back again!!

Beautiful Bungalow with lots of extra touches
Tina was a perfect host and dealt with any queries immediately. The bungalow is fantastic and we loved the decor. We really enjoyed the little extras such as the giant chess and retro games tablen and were grateful for the cupcakes and seed bombs on arrival. I highly recommended this property and would happily stay there again.

Cross/ODonovan holiday
I wish to speak for both families and say what a super place we have stayed. We felt that this was a real home, very welcoming, comfortable, very well equipped, clean and Tina provided all that was needed. The decor was great and amusing, even the pink stag! The kitchen was very well equipped. The seating was comfortable both inside and out. Wonderful games both inside and out. Facilities for the dog were perfect. We all felt that we have had a holiday and would not hesitate to come again. Well done. 10/10

Excellent holiday home
The house is spacious and well fitted out. The quirky decor makes a refreshing change to the basic furniture and fittings found in most holiday homes. The whole house was very clean and comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. The welcome cupcakes were delicious. It’s an easy 10 minute walk through the woodland to the beach. I would highly recommend this property to families and friends.

Wow!!! Was what we all said when we walked in through the door. We were blown away by how beautiful this home is and especially all the amazing and creative Christmas decorations, even down to Christmas duvets and tea towels and the table laid out with such lovely details and mince pies to welcome us! The hosts had thought of everything! The kitchen is really well equipped and lovely to have complimentary speciality coffees and teas etc too. The garden looked like it would be great for the summer and it was secure which was good for our dog, it was lovely to have dog towels provided in the hall and wellies to borrow too! The location is great and really close walk to the beach. The communication from the hosts was great too. We really couldn’t fault anything. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it. Thank you!

We thought it was perfect
I took my 83 year old mum for her Birthday. It was the perfect bungalow. She had a beautiful en suite bedroom and I had a fabulous bedroom and use of the family bathroom. The garden was ideal for my Cockerpoo. Safe and enclosed. Everything in the bungalow was easy to use and it was beautifully presented. . The bungalow was so close to the beach and had beautiful coastal walks on the door step. So close to some great shops like The Range, Home and Bargain, TK Max , Dunelm etc. and the interesting Emporiums in Herne Bay and the village of Belting. It was our favourite property we’ve stayed in and the location was amazing.
