About this property
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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Why they chose this property
We bought the bungalow in 2021 as our holiday home and now we want to share this with others. We love the area, there is so much to do in and around Kent. What attracted us to the bungalow were the stunning views from the front and the back of the property. We overlook fields to the front and distant sea views from the back, so it has a tranquil feel about it and yet we are still in a residential area, so not completely rural.
Within a few minutes' walk, you will find yourself on the coastal path to Reculver, which is ideal for us as dog owners. It takes just 25 minutes to walk to Reculver Towers, where you can stop for a cuppa, breakfast... (or an alcoholic beverage), before a plod back with your dog, children, friends, bikes, or whatever takes your fancy. From here you can choose to walk back along the cliff top or on the beach and we favour the beach so our dog can dip his paws in the sea.
The bungalow has a fun feel about it, as it is equipped with various quirky things for your enjoyment. These include:- The electronic retro gaming table that has over 30 arcade games for you to play Roulette & Card table Juke Box style CD player Outside are the giant-sized garden games including the chess set, jenga, snakes & ladders, and connect four.
