Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is a real treat for guests looking for something truly unique and intricately designed. This home is brimming with love, care, and eccentricity to the next level. Each room of the home follows a different theme and creates an air of excitement to find out what you'll discover beyond the next door. Located just on the edge of Dymchurch beach, guests won't have to look far for an exciting day out, while just a little further afield, the stunning and historic city of Canterbury can offer a day full of shopping, dining, and sightseeing, while the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover can be reached in a thirty-five-minute car ride and are not to be missed. While the local opportunities for adventure are abundant, and will surely keep any explorer busy, the real gem lies in the uniqueness of this home. With a home cinema, bar, "St Tropez" style living area, full DJ and light effect setup, a genuine sunlight room offering guests the chance to sunbathe 365 days a year, and unique bedrooms featuring a different theme and name, such as Gold, Black, Time Travellers, Swing, Venetian, Surfers, and Pondicherry, we can't think of a more exciting home,... not only for families, but also for hen and stag dos and other events.

About Dungeness
Dungeness is nestled in an unspoilt area on the southernmost corner of Kent, near the bay that stretches from Folkestone to Rye. Home to Europe’s largest expanses of shingle and Britain’s only desert, the wild (and somewhat austere) landscape is perfect for walks and wildlife spotting.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
