About this property

Studio With Uninterrupted Views Of Romney Marsh. Visit Rye Hythe and Canterbury

The Shed stands in the garden of the listed Old Oak, once the smuggling pub of Bonnington. The Shed has its own garden space, table and chairs and BBQ. Built in 2012 to the highest specifications and in traditional style it offers an ideal base for walking and exploration. There is one bedroom with a king size bed, and a kitchen living room which is equipped with a dishwasher, cooker and fridge, TV and WiFi and prettily and individually designed for total comfort. Built for our far flung family to stay in when in England - we would love to share it with you when they are not with us! We love this special corner of England, and built the Shed to reflect its rural surroundings, and offer a cosy welcoming retreat. Sadly the Shed is not suitable for those with mobility problems as the only access is by the outside stairs, but it has proved to be a great base for artists, writers and those with a creative spirit.

Beautiful, light and spacious cottage with excellent interaction with the owners, Tina and Jeremy.

Great place to stay in beautiful and uncrowded Romney Marsh area. Great for birding nearby at Dungeness RSPB. Tour of local churches is highly recommended.

Excellent Stay

We had a lovely stay here. Tina and Jeremy met us upon arrival and told us everything we needed to know about the accommodation along with local area. We had a private west facing garden for sitting out looking over the fields which was very peaceful. The accommodation had everything we required and we will definitely stay again.

We had a great stay at the shed. Lovely, cosy property with wonderful views and quiet enough to hear the birds. Tina and Jeremy left some thoughtful touches with everything as we needed it. Close to great places to visit and nice country walks. Thank you very much

Really cosy, homely holiday cottage!

What a lovely little find. We’ve stayed in numerous holiday cottages over the past 5 years and this one was by far the most comforting/homely. Lovely personal touches included homemade shortbread, toiletries in the bathroom and a lovely welcome message. The owners were very nice and didn’t hesitate to help with anything we needed. I’d definitely recommend The Shed! The location was lovely too, not too far from big towns and cities but far away from the hustle and bustle.

Brilliant

It’s not often we say a stay is brilliant however on this occasion it was. Great hosts welcoming, considerate and good communication. ‘The Shed’ is definitely not a shed. It’s beautifully and artistically decorated, warm, comfortable and everything you would need. Now we’ve had two nights we plan to be back for a week. Wonderful area looking out on Romney marsh, quiet and peaceful a special time.

A perfect rural getaway.

The Shed was a wonderful place to relax in and enjoy the beautiful countryside views. Tina was very welcoming and everything we could possibly need was provided even hot water bottles, had it been cold enough. Lots of interesting information provided on places to go and the history of The Old Oak and the croissants, eggs and other goodies were very much appreciated. Sitting in the garden looking out onto the fields was idyllic. A thoroughly enjoyable stay, I only wish we could have stayed for longer.

About the host

Hosted by Tina Metcalfe

Host profile image
Jeremy and Tina Metcalfe have lived at the Old Oak for over 50 years and look forward to sharing their love of Romney Marsh and the area with guests.

Why they chose this property

There is something for everyone - churches from Canterbury and Rochester cathedrals to the little gems on the marsh; castles galore like Leeds, Bodiam and Dover with its wartime history; enchanting villages and small towns like Rye, Whitstable, Tenterden and Hythe; extraordinary Chatham Docks; the seaside just 3 miles away. Folkestone with its world famous Triennial Art Exhibition is half an hour away. A day trip to London or France is quite feasible with a return to your own cosy peaceful place to stay. It is 25 minutes to the Ashford International with Eurostar and fast link to London (37mins to St Pancras) and 20mins to the Eurotunnel. Golf is available at Littlestone and Rye etc. And for shoppers there is the famous McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Centre 2mins from Ashford Station with bargains for all!

What makes this property unique

There are views over the pretty country garden across the sweeping fields of Romney Marsh. Our house was once The Royal Oak pub and dates back to the 1740s with lots of local history we can share with you. The battle of Britain was fought in the skies above and the wonderful memorial museum is now open near Folkestone. There are delightful country and village pubs we can tell you all about! The Marsh has always been the artist's dream with its huge skies and luminous light.
