The South East England / Kent region

The coastline enjoys a unique micro-climate which makes it one of the driest and sunniest places in Britain.

The area has a stark beauty of its own, and also has unique wildlife , which is visible at the Nature reserves at Rye Harbour and Dungeness.

The area around Littlestone is steeped in history which includes Dover Castle: Discover its labyrinth of secret wartime tunnels built deep in the White Cliffs of Dover.
Kent Battle of Britain Museum: The most important collection of battle of britain artefacts on show in the country.
It has its own unique steam railway the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway which runs along the coast. This narrow gauge miniature railway is a great attraction for visitors.
More information on the Service can be obtained from the website:- http://www.rhdr.org.uk/rhdr/home_flash.html

The coast provides the best sandy beaches in the South East of the country, with shallow water allowing safe access for children.

Littlestone Golf Course is a Championship Links Course laid out on the natural undulating land between the famous Romney Marsh and the English Channel in the South East corner of Kent. The course is presented in superb condition throughout the year and temporary tees and greens are unheard of.
For information about Littlestone golf course go to :- http://www.littlestonegolfclub.org.uk/

The 18 hole Romney Warren Golf Course lies alongside the Championship Littlestone Golf Course and is owned by the members of Littlestone. Three and four balls are always welcome on Romney Warren and it is possible to arrange a day's golf over both courses. Details of Romney Warren can be found at www.romneywarrengolfclub.org.uk.

Both courses are 5 minutes walk from Thirlmere.

On the 16th July 1927, the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway (RHDR) a narrow gauge railway was opened, Littlestone lies about 1/2 mile south of the main headquarters of the railway at New Romney . During 1928, the nameboards at the New Romney station were changed to read "Littlestone-on-Sea" in an effort to emphasise the railway's seaside location.

The railway was built by Captain J. E. P. Howey and Count Louis Zborowski to serve the local population and tourist trade, it stretches for nearly 14 miles from Hythe through Dymchurch, St Marys Bay, its base at New Romney, Romney Sands and then to the fishermens cottages and lighthouses at Dungeness. It is still a major tourist attraction and well worth a visit. http://www.rhdr.org.uk/rhdr/home_flash.html

Out to sea, lies a section of the Concrete Mulberry Harbour built during 1944 for the Dunkirk landings in the Second World War. This section became detached from its tug and drifted back to Littlestone. This platform is clearly visible from our photographs.

“Brilliant” We stayed for a week during August and was really pleased with the size and quality of the accommodation. We met the owner, Denis, and he was really helpful and informative. If you need a property that has a lot of comfortable space to relax in, in an area that is quiet but minutes away from the huge sandy beach at Greatstone, then this is the place for you. The sunrises viewed from the lounge or master bedroom were stunning!

“Great house for a family get together” We stayed just after Christmas. Plenty of living space and the kitchen is extremely well equipped for a large group. Lots of plates, cutlery and pots and pans. Fabulous seaview although the surrounding area isnt really an English holiday hotspot (sorry Liittlestone) but it was great for us. The owner was helpful and returned emails and our security deposit promptly. We had to leave the house clean to get our deposit back and were concerned about the levels required in such a large house and with a 10am checkout time. That was frantic and worrying for us. We have booked for next Christmas and asked for cleaning to be included to save my stress levels. We had wonderful meals in the large dining room, grandparents visited and we had 12 seated for dinner easily. There are candles, plenty of mats and even 'posh' cutlery. The owner has taken great care to refurbish the property and the Victorian hall tiles and front steps are lovely. There was a complaint about one of beds being uncomfortable from our group (top floor middle double) but ours was fine. Am sure it is personal preference. An extra or larger sofas in the living room would have been handy as people had to sit on the floor or footstools when all 10 were wanting to sit down. There is a 3 seat and 2 seat sofa and an arm chair. We did also take up and armchair from the dining room to use. The area was quiet, we could park easily out the front of the house, there is a supermarket up the road for groceries. We didnt explore the area as we were there for 3 nights and were there at Christmas. The men did play golf at Littlestone and enjoyed it and can also recommend the breakfast they serve. I cant think of much else except, we are re-booked and can recommend it. If you are a larger family group and looking for somewhere this summer right on the seafront this is the place for you.

“A lovely big house on sea front - great for families.” Thirlmere is a really big town house spread over three floors. Lots of beds and equipment for children to stay comfortably. We were three families meeting up with 5 children between us - all... more
