Writers Studio is a studio cabin sitting within beachfront grounds at St Mary's Bay on the Kent coast. Direct beach access from the lodge puts the sandy shoreline right on your doorstep. The open stretch of coast here has a genuinely unhurried feel with long beaches and wide views across the English Channel.
St Mary's Bay is quiet and open. Greatstone Beach is 4 miles away. The coastline here is flat and wide with gentle horizons and big Kent skies. Bicycle hire is available on-site for exploring the shore.
Writers Studio sleeps 2 and works perfectly for couples or solo travellers. The open-plan layout flows between sleeping, living and cooking areas. A king-size bed sits beside a wood burner on oak floors with moody lighting throughout.
