Neighbourhood information

The Bird’s Nest is set in Saddlebrook Park, a lively holiday community in Leysdown-on-Sea, on the beautiful Isle of Sheppey in Kent. This corner of the world is full of nostalgic British charm, with buckets (and spades) of personality. Just a 10-minute stroll takes you to the beach, where you can breathe in fresh sea air, build sandcastles, or enjoy a classic paddle in the waves. The arcades, fish and chip shops, and ice cream stands will instantly take you back to childhood seaside holidays. Need supplies? There’s a convenience store nearby that sells everything from snacks to emergency flip-flops. Fancy a pub meal or a bit of people-watching? There are local pubs and cafés within walking distance, including karaoke nights if you’re brave (or well hydrated). For kids (and big kids), there’s a play park, a clubhouse with seasonal entertainment, and plenty of green space for running around or enjoying a picnic. Despite all the fun, Leysdown still has a laid-back, small-town feel. It’s the kind of place where neighbours say hello, dogs make friends on the beach, and time slows down just enough to enjoy the moment. Whether you're here for a weekend or a full week of unplugged seaside living, The Bird’s Nest puts you right in the heart of it—close enough to the action, but just tucked away enough for a good night’s sleep. Please note: The Bird’s Nest is located within Saddlebrook Park, which has strict pet rules that all guests must follow. 🐾 Pet Policy: Dogs are welcome, but the following breeds and any mixed breeds containing these types are strictly prohibited on-site: American Bully types (including XL Bully) Pit Bull types Mastiff types ❗ If you arrive with a restricted breed, entry to the park will be denied and your booking may be cancelled without refund. 🐶 Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times when outside the property within the park, and owners must clean up after their pets immediately.
