The house is an award winning, architect designed holiday home on the coast of Kent. Dungeness is nothing if not unique - this dramatic coastal setting has the quality of a wilderness and it represents the perfect retreat from modern life.
The space
The house accommodates up to 8 adults, with a maximum capacity of 10 guests in total (including children). If you're planning a stay for more than 8 adults, please feel free to contact us to discuss further to see if suitable for your stay
Pobble House is available for minimum 2 night stays. The price per night varies (it is very dependent on factors such as season, day of the week, school holidays, bank holidays etc).
There are two main bedrooms that each have a kingsize double bed. A third bedroom has six full sized single bed berths, four of which are up ladders so best for children or nimble adults.
There are two bathrooms, one with a bath and a shower in the bath, the second with a shower. The main living area has distinct kitchen, dining and seating areas with a wood burning stove to keep it snug in the winter.
There are very few fences in the open landscape that characterises Dungeness but the land immediately surrounding the house is private land and the boundary of the garden area at the front is marked by wooden sleepers.
Cars may be parked outside, either on a defined parking space for one car, or on the track leading up to the house itself.
The Area:
For many years the landscape has attracted creative people and it is probably most famous for being where the late film maker, Derek Jarman, created a striking coastal garden that surrounds his home. The importance of the flora and fauna at Dungeness has been recognised by its designation as a National Nature Reserve and the presence of an RSPB sanctuary.
Dungeness is nothing if not unique. It is home to only about forty houses and these include a collection of former fishermen's huts, cabins that started life as old railway carriages as well as a a handful of modern architectural houses - of which Pobble is one. It also has two lighthouses, a steam railway, a few family owned fishing boats, a fish hut selling freshly caught fish, two pubs and a nuclear power station.

What you need to plan for or is not provided:
Landline telephone - Pobble does not have a landline phone. And whilst we are on the subject of phones, you might have to open a window or move around around a bit to get a good mobile phone signal.
Music system / speakers - are not provided.
Logs - once you have used up your starter logs you will need to purchase more. Bags of logs can be bought locally.
Highchair - a 'clamp on the table' style highchair can be provided, please let us know you require this at the time of booking.
Provision of food and drink - there are no convenience stores on Dungeness. If you have a car then 5 minutes drive will take you to a small general store and 15 minutes drive will take you to New Romney (where there is a high street with shops as well as a Sainsbury's supermarket on the outskirts). Some supermarkets do make home deliveries to Dungeness, so it is worth considering booking a delivery for shortly after your arrival.
Sorry, no pets.
