Pet-friendly summary
This two-bedroom static caravan sits on New Beach Holiday Park on the Hythe Road at Dymchurch, a few minutes' walk from the long, flat Romney Marsh coastline. It takes dogs, and the location is the reason to consider it: the sea wall gives you miles of easy walking straight from the park, with plenty of open shoreline either side of the main village beach.
Guests booking with a dog are allocated a pet-friendly caravan rather than the standard one, up to two dogs per booking, and those who have done so describe it as clean and simple, with clear instructions for the heating and everything needed for a few nights. The park is convenient for a short drive to the shops, there is a well-regarded pub within walking distance, and the flat marsh lanes and coastal path make for undemanding walks with an older dog.
Cleanliness is the recurring theme in the reviews and it needs saying plainly. Guests have arrived to find bedding that had not been changed, stained sofas, hair left on soft furnishings from earlier stays and, in the worst accounts, food debris and lingering smells. Park rules keep dogs off bedding and seating, which is reasonable enough, though several guests have noted the sofas were already marked when they arrived. Photograph anything you find on arrival and raise it straight away.
Three other practicalities. Park rules say a dog must never be left alone, including inside the caravan, so days out have to be days out with the dog. There is a dog-friendly restaurant area on site, which helps, but the beach and the pub will be doing most of the work. Parking is not right beside the caravan and the grass between can be boggy after rain, so expect to carry bags and a muddy dog some distance. And access to the park's swimming and entertainment facilities is not included in the booking, with passes bought separately at reception - worth pricing up, given you cannot leave the dog behind to use them. At 4.2/5 this is a budget coastal base for a family with a dog who will spend their days on the beach rather than in the caravan, and who will check the bedding before unpacking.
