The Romney Marshes are a favourite holiday destination not only for their proximity to London (the train from St Pancras takes around an hour) but for their natural beauty. The salt marshes, wetlands and gorgeous coastline are appealing at any time of the year, especially when you stay somewhere as welcoming as The Mount. This Tudor house may retain many original features but, far from being a museum, it is a welcoming and comfortable holiday home for modern visitors. There is space for up to 11 people to sleep in 6 bedrooms, and it is only a mile from Rye and three miles from Camber Sands.
