The Nest

Dymchurch, Romney Marsh

Retreat to the coast with the family in this very special chocolate box cottage with direct access to the beach from the end of the garden. Nestled away and set back along a private lane in a lovely position along the seawall in Dymchurch.

Quite the spot for a visit any time of year with the beach accessible from a little gate at the end of the garden. A perfect position for families to enjoy the wonderful beach and stroll along the endless promenade taking in the sea air. In the summer, why not take a dip in the sea and only a hop and skip back to your private garden for a BBQ?

As perfect in the summer as in winter with all the homely creature comforts and a place to snuggle up with loved ones. Nestle by the log burning fire with a good book and delve into the comfortable sofa at home to kick back and unwind in. Many guests come for the peace and tranquillity, but for those wanting entertainment nearby, you will find a range of cafés, bars, and amusement arcades for the little ones in the family, along with the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which is a must for all families to enjoy whilst on the Kent Coast.

If that is a little too far, why not don your cap and tie up the laces, bring out your rackets and out onto the shared tennis court?

Comfortable cottage in quiet location 5/5

The cottage was perfect for our needs - 2 of us, I think 6 might have been a stretch. Having the sea at the end of the garden with private access to the sea wall walk was perfect. The beach was always near empty (October) so it felt very private. We would love to make a return visit to this cottage.

A perfect cottage right by the sea 5/5

The Nest is perfect. Great being by the sea. Lovely well equipped cottage. Lovely garden and a few steps up to sea views and the beach below. Great for walking and swimming. Loads to do in the area too.

A wonderful, mid-Summer week 5/5

The Nest is a beautiful, exceptionally well equipped, very comfortable cottage in a superb location. We spent a relaxing week walking along the beach, sitting in the garden, playing tennis on the court and visiting pubs, nature reserves and other places of interest. It is a place to use not just as a base for coming back after a day out, but also as a retreat in which to spend quality time, recharging. We would not hesitate to book again!

Unique location 4.5/5

The cottage has direct access to the sea wall and then the beach and a huge enclosed garden which was great for our 2 dogs

Windy weekend 4.7/5

Lovely stay at nest cottage Perfect location for dramatic windy seafront walks Would've liked a bit of a later checkout time

Cosy and well equipped in a great location! 4.7/5

This cottage was everything we hoped it would be for a small gathering of our immediate family (four plus a dog) for a few days together over Christmas. Whilst it looks very small, the cottage is deceptive and we had more than enough room for all of us. The kitchen is very well equipped and had all we needed to cook a Christmas dinner. The location is amazing with direct access to a lovely sandy beach and we could see that this would be a great summer location too.

Me and Monty 5/5

My Jacapoo and I thoroughly enjoyed our few days @ The Nest. If you asked me to describe my perfect cottage, The Nest is it. So cute, cosy and what a setting! The perfect beach for walking, swimming and throwing a ball. I only live in Hythe, but The Nest was a special treat for my Birthday. So, a big thank you for sharing your lovely cottage.

Short family break 5/5

Such a lovely break, the cottage was very sweet and in a great location for the beach. Would definitely love to come back.

The Perfect Seaside Getaway 5/5

We've stayed at The Nest before, and on our return we were just as delighted with the cottage as the first time. Everything from the sound of the sea, the birds, the lovely level walk into the village and the location, which makes you feel as though you are in the middle of the country, with the sea on your doorstep, but where you can reach the shops quickly and easily. I had to bring a little work with me, so the wi-fi was particularly useful this time. If I were lucky enough to own my own holiday home, The Nest would be my choice. Small but plenty big enough. A big garden for our pooch to enjoy. The sea just over the bank. The ability to escape but still be close enough to get anything we need. Perfect! Other lovely things close by - freshly prepared doughnuts (to sustain you at the end of your walk into the village), small fairground, fresh seafood in St Marys Bay, The Ship Inn just a 10 min walk away (dog friendly in bar, deck and garden). We are very keen to return. Thank you to our host.

Excellent coastal stay 4.8/5

Could not beat the location, comfort of the property and its spacious garden Kitchen had all the utensils youd need for cooking each night The walk from back door to beach front took 1minute! Our toddler loved exploring the garden and we loved sitting at the window seat, watching the world go by Is the best place weve stayed on the Kent coast, and wish we could visit each year

Family break with the dog 5/5

There is nothing we could fault with this beautiful cottage. Style, position, location, all great. So close to the beach that you can hear the sea. On the map it looks close to the main road but it's nicely tucked away so that traffic can't be heard. It's a very cozy cottage with lots of atmosphere. The dog loved it because of the large fully enclosed garden. It has everything there you're likely to need. Just a short walk along a flat promenade from the village, pubs, restaurants and takeaways. We treated ourselves to a huge seafood platter from The Boathouse Fisheries in St Mary's Bay, less than 3 miles away. Ready within an hour and simply a divine feast! It's ideal for a small family holiday or a romantic getaway - comfort from the moment we entered. If you're unsteady on your feet the steps at the back of the garden to the sea wall could be a struggle, as could the internal stairs BUT the owner has thought of everything and on both of these sets of steps there's two hand rails and the internal stairs are well lit (with one bedroom on the ground floor you may not even need that). I only wish short stays were available as we'd be there more often. WE WILL RETURN - thank you for sharing this lovely cottage with those of us who stay there.

A little gem of a place 4.8/5

A quaint property by the sea wall, which was perfectly situated for our stay in Kent. We wanted for nothing during our stay in this property; the hosts have thought of everything. It was cosy and very comfortable with a great garden to relax in and enjoy the sea air. The upstairs bedrooms are perfect for children and young adults. If youre staying in this part of the world; I can highly recommend this property and our hosts.

Tracey Oxley-Haines | 15 July 2023

A beautiful peaceful place to stay, with places of interest all around 4.8/5
