This luxurious, renovated Victorian red brick bard is nestled in the English countryside of Romney Marsh Ridge, on the edge of the rural hamlet of Court-at-Street and next door to family-favourite Port Lympne Safari Park. With a large garden and beautiful panoramic views of the North Downs. there is something for the whole family to enjoy during your stay. With streaming services, table football, board games and a host of books to choose from, no one will be complaining about boredom if you're stuck inside on a rainy day. Cosy up by the log burner or draw yourself a steaming bath in the clawfoot tub, and sink into the water as you feel your muscles relaxing. Stepping outside you'll be spoiled for choice in how to spend your day, whether you want to travel out further afoot or stay on the property. Throw a barbecue and dine alfresco with beautiful country views, and gather round the firepit at dusk while you roast marshmallows and exchange stories around the flames. If you're looking for something a little more active for the family, your host owns a tennis court on the property that can be used with prior permission. In the area, you'll... find a whole host of fantastic local places and attractions to sate yourself. Your host can recommend a plethora of great local pubs, restaurants and wineries, as well as local points of interest such as castles, beaches and lighthouses.
