About this property

The Shed stands in the garden of the listed Old Oak, once the smuggling pub of Bonnington. The Shed has its own garden space, table and chairs and BBQ. Built in 2012 to the highest specifications and in traditional style it offers an ideal base for walking and exploration. There is one bedroom with a king size bed, and a kitchen living room which is equipped with a dishwasher, cooker and fridge, TV and WiFi and prettily and individually designed for total comfort. Built for our far flung family to stay in when in England - we would love to share it with you when they are not with us! We love this special corner of England, and built the Shed to reflect its rural surroundings, and offer a cosy welcoming retreat. Sadly the Shed is not suitable for those with mobility problems as the only access is by the outside stairs, but it has proved to be a great base for artists, writers and those with a creative spirit.

A little of the beaten path, but that just makes it better

There’s so much to say, starting with the wonderful hosts, who made us feel welcome long before we arrived. They were keen to help introduce my dog-phobic wife to Holly, their beautiful golden retriever. And it worked. Holly is every bit as sweet as advertised. The place has several windows that allow for a pleasant breeze to flow through. It’s filled with art, mementos and helpful advice to help find things to keep you busy. Visited Dover Castle and Canterbury, but our most memorable time was sharing a short visit with our hosts, learning about their family and the last 50 years they’ve lived in the former pub that is their home next door.

The Shed Romney Marsh

Very cosy and comfortable property in a great location for exploring the Kent coast and countryside. We had a lovely warm welcome from Tina and Jeremy and enjoyed our second stay here very much, the house is very well equipped and we had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Metcalfe

Jeremy and Tina Metcalfe have lived at the Old Oak for over 40 years and look forward to sharing their love of Romney Marsh and the area with guests.

Why they chose this property

There is something for everyone - churches from Canterbury cathedral to the little gems on the marsh; castles galore like Leeds, Bodiam and Dover with its wartime history; enchanting villages and small towns like Rye, Whitstable, Tenterden and Hythe; extraordinary Chatham Docks; the seaside just 3 miles away and Folkestone with its world famous Triennial Art Exhibition. A day trip to London or France is quite feasible with a return to your own cosy peaceful place to stay. It is 25 minutes to the Ashford International with Eurostar and fast link to London (37mins to St Pancras) and 20mins to the Eurotunnel. Golf is available at Littlestone and Rye etc. And for shoppers there is the famous McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Centre 2mins from Ashford Station with bargains for all!

What makes this property unique

There are views over the pretty country garden across the sweeping fields of Romney Marsh. Our house was once The Royal Oak pub and dates back to the 1740s with lots of local history we can share with you. The battle of Britain was fought in the skies above and the wonderful memorial museum is now open near Folkestone. There are delightful country and village pubs we can tell you all about! The Marsh has always been the artist's dream with its huge skies and luminous light.
