Shirls chalet in Sheppey

This beautiful south facing brick built chalet is self catering with open plan kitchen, wc and shower. The view across farming fields look towards Swale and beyond to Oare and Faversham and to the left, the lights of Seasalter and Whitstable. You can hang out on the grass front, relax and get away from it all as it takes just over an hours drive from London. Or you may prefer to swim or relax by the sea. Bird watching is popular due to the salt marshes. Very unspoilt and very photographic.

The chalet is situated at the top end of Park Avenue Holiday Village with stunning views over changing seasons of farmland. It has a bright airy feel from the expansive skyline flooding in. A cosy lounge with sofa and built in wooden beds in each room. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, freezer, cooker, microwave, kettle, toaster and washing machine.

Access is permitted on the Holiday Village and guests have use of the grass area in front of the chalet but is not restricted for use by other site users. Although, please do be considerate if anyone is using their front area and it may be best to walk around the back of their chalet. You may wish to pen in your dog/s to the left of the chalet as you look South or you may wish to erect the parasol supplied for all to keep cool from the sun.

There is a clubhouse (subject to season) with Internet access, toilet facilities, cafe and Children’s play area. Parking is permitted next to the chalet but on very wet days please park elsewhere.

Please note, no essentials are supplied i.e no bed linen, towels, soap, shampoo and toilet rolls.

There are available quilts and pillows.

Bed linen and towels can be supplied at an extra cost; £15 per person per stay. Please indicate this after booking.

The raised patio at the top of the stairs for entrance via the French windows do not have railings, please be careful for toddlers below the age of 2.

Leysdown beach is just a 10 mins walk for arcades, cafes, restaurants, pubs, shops and public children’s play area. Further afield are Warden Bay, Shellness and a coastal road to the conservation area. With only a short drive to Minster, Sheerness, Bluetown and Queenborough. There are plenty of lovely country/coastal walks on the island and within the surrounding areas with ancient churches and historic sites. It takes only half an hour to drive to Sittingbourne, Oare and Faversham.

The Isle of Sheppey is best accessed by car and for getting around the surrounding areas. If you arrive by public transport you can get around using the local buses, please make sure you pick up a timetable at the stations prior to making your way from Sheerness/Queenborough to Leysdown. Please note that there are no buses to and from Leysdown on Sundays and bank holidays.

Please text or email. I may or may not be on the island during your stay.

Amazing views!
We booked for 4 nights but wished we'd stayed for a week! The location can't be beaten, an easy walk to the beach and arcades. The view is stunning, probably the best we've ever had. We loved having the patio doors open from early morning until late at night. The park is clean, the playground was excellent and everyone was friendly. Great communication from Shirley - thank you, we'd love to come back!

It was a cozy cottage. Unfortunately the crockery and cutlery were very dirty. The oven also and the baking trays were full of oil and food residue. The fridge smelled bad. The electrical fuse often blew out. Even if only the shower and television were running. The environment was nice. The beach was very close.
