To experience and appreciate the beautiful countryside of Kent and East Sussex, Waterside Guest House is the perfect base offering charming hospitality. Situated in the delightful seaside village of Dymchurch and within easy reach of the historically impressive Canterbury, Waterside is a lovely holiday location, while breakfast is being served most days we feed the Ducks that visit us you can also see Swans, Little Grebes Moorhens and if you are quick you will see the Kingfisher flash through over the water. The benefits of picturesque countryside and the Blue Flag sandy beach of Dymchurch epitomises its idyllic appeal. Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Steam Railway can be seen from our terrace, the train runs from Hythe to Dungeness a total of 13 miles Dungeness is a very unique area with its plant life that grows nowhere else. During Bank Holidays and all summer children can take donkey rides on the sandy beach which has a Blue Flag rating. Port Lympne Zoo is just 4 miles away. Dover 18 miles from Dymchurch with it's magnificent castle is a must the views from the very top are beautiful. Canterbury is a major tourist attraction with it's splendid Cathedral and lots of shops. A good area for walking/cycling as the surrounding countryside is very flat. August Bank Holiday 2010 welcomes the bi-anual festival of Dr. Syn celebrations with re-enactments on the beach and firing of the cannon on Dymchurchs Martelo Tower great fun for all the family. After all this excitment come back and relax in our beamed bar/lounge or on the terrace and watch one of many beautiful sunsets that we witness here.
