Description
Inside the chalky colours are soft and muted, with accents of soft green and sea blue, to echo the beautiful views outside. There are carefully painted vintage finds throughout, and the cosy sofas and beds – all dressed with beautiful French linen sheets, blankets and cushions – just invite relaxation. While the large, open plan, kitchen dining room is perfect for relaxed suppers.
Outside, on warm evenings, make the most of the large deck where you can enjoy the big open skies and quiet isolation; or wander the short distance to the beach to take in the sunset.
Two spacious king-size bedrooms and one twin room make this a great house for a family or small group. Downstairs there is ample space to spread out; the huge utility room and downstairs shower will be handy when it comes to sorting out beach gear and washing off the sand
Romney Cottage is one of a pair of cottages that can be rented together (Walland Cottage) – which is ideal for a larger group or two families that want to holiday, while keeping some separation

Location
Romney Cottage also sits by Romney Marsh, which offers walking & cycling, beautiful old pubs, churches and historic villages, along with a whole plethora of wildlife. The nature reserve of Dungeness also lies nearby.
If you’re hankering for a bit more bustle, then luckily the town of Rye is within a short hop. This medieval port offers historical interest, beautiful streets to wander, and a huge choice of unique places to eat, drink and shop.
Things to do
Romney Marsh has lots to offer, too – bring your bike and cycle the (mainly flat) routes around beautiful churches and historic villages, stopping for refreshment at any one of the traditional local pubs. Dungeness has captured the imagination of many artists over the years with its unique landscape; soak up the views or do some bird and nature-watching (it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest thanks to the sheer number of species to be found here).
If you have never been to Rye, it is a must-visit. Work up an appetite by finding out about the town’s history at the Rye Castle Museum, or simply by wandering the beautiful cobbled streets, bordered by medieval timber-framed houses that look exactly as they would have done when this was a bustling port – then stop for something to eat at the Rye Deli or a pint at the historic Mermaid Inn.
Food and Drink
Closer to Romney Cottage there is still a good range of choice. Romney Marsh has a wide selection of traditional pubs, many once home to smugglers, but now offering a hearty welcome to visitors to the area, along with their pints of ale. The Britannia or the Pilot Inn both offer good pub lunches if you’re exploring Dungeness.
Don’t miss the Gallivant, whose modern British menu has won awards. The Rye Bay Bar & Grill, or The Clam are both nearby and offer breakfast and lunch and with a relaxed, laid back vibe.

Reviews
We had a great time at this lovely cottage by the sea. It was perfectly set up for a stay with children and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a relaxing walk in the sun to rye and lots of time on the beach.
.Romney Cottage is just wonderful! Our booking was comprised of two adults, a teenager and two toddlers. It was perfect for us all! The cottage is peaceful, has plenty of space for everyone’s needs, is beautifully decorated, and is sooooo well equipped!!! The bedrooms are all a good size and very comfortable. My teenage son thought the snug off the lounge was just, and I quote, ‘the best’! On our arrival the cottage had been thoughtfully prepared – it was warm, a few lights were on and there was milk in the fridge and as well as a selection of teas and delicious treats (I warn you the cookies are very more-ish!). Rosie and her family were such welcoming hosts and made some great recommendations – one of them being The Globe Inn in Rye which we too would highly recommend (although they don’t have high chairs available so bring travel ones if you need them). A great stay, in an ideal location, which we will definitely be back to visit again in the not too distant future, hopefully in the summer months so we can enjoy and make use of the garden also.
.This is the most perfect cottage for a quiet, calm, most tranquil of holidays. The cottage is absolutely stunning and Rosie is a fantastic host with lots of suggestions for a fabulous stay. The beach across the road is to die for – early morning and especially at sunset! Highly recommend this amazing place.
We had a lovely stay here – it’s the perfect location to the beach at Camber Sands and just a short way from the town of Rye. The cottages have been done up to a great standard and Rosie is the perfect host who offers lots of local advise! Would thoroughly recommend.
Plenty of gorgeously comfortable space for a family of 6 adults and one infant, indoor and out. Tastefully decorated, thoughtfully appointed. And those linen sheets! Oh my. Some of the many things which sold us on a return: – big kitchen-diner for sociable food prep time – a separate, comfortable lounge space and extra side chill out room – Three real bedrooms (no box rooms!), and upstairs and downstairs bathrooms! – Plenty of utility space (including two fridges) for storing cases, beach stuff, laundry etc. – all the furniture and furnishings were super high quality. Rosie and Matt were everything we wanted from a host; on hand when needed but never intrusive. They were smart, kind, personable and professional. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
