The Lightkeepers' Cottages

Dungeness

Enjoy an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and stay in The Lightkeepers' Cottages. Set at the foot of The Roundhouse in Dungeness which was once the base of the original Dungeness lighthouse. If the walls could talk they could tell you a tale or two of the former lives of the lighthouse keepers dating back to early 19th century.

The two cottages next to each other have been sympathetically renovated to provide luxurious holiday homes, With views across the surrounding landscape and beach beyond you will be sure to unwind and relax when staying here. Enjoy the wonders of Dungeness on foot, sit on the terrace and watch the world go by on a sunny day, or on a chilly day enjoy reading a book by one of the fabulous woodburning stoves in each cottage. Ideal for two families looking to get away together, but enjoy their own space, or couples looking to enjoy time together and retreat to their own cosy cottage at night.

In the Area

Dungeness is located in an unspoilt area on the southernmost corner of the bay that stretches from Folkestone to Rye. There are some beautiful walks to explore the wild landscape, and experience the beauty of the sea and the enormous skies. The Old Lighthouse is a popular visitor attraction, as is the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch steam railway which passes close by with the miniature steam train meandering along the coast to Hythe, a wonderful way to enjoy Kent’s scenery. There are two pubs on the reserve, The Britannia and The Pilot, and the unique ’Fish Hut’ selling caught-on-the day fresh fish. The wonderful former smuggler’s town of Rye with its choice of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants is well worth a visit and only 10 miles away.
