Lamarby Lodge-Quirky bungalow on coastal walk with distant sea views.

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.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Wow! What a wonderful break we had an amazing week away. The property is stylish, unique with lots of wonderful pieces in the property. Everything you need to be entertained is at your fingertips, we made the most of the games and music. A fantastic entertaining space that was lovely to spend time in! Everything was spotlessly clean and filled with all the mod cons. Some lovely welcoming touches the cakes were appreciated. It is a great base for you explore the surrounding areas. We took day trips to Ramsgate, Margate, Broadstairs and Canterbury all a short distance away in the car. One of the best things is that you can get to the beach within minutes. Morning and evening walks were spent walking along the coast and an easy walk to Herne Bay if that’s your thing! Great trip and a place we will definitely visit again. Thank you for all your correspondence many thanks for a fabulous stay.
