THE 
LITTLE SHIP

A little gem in the heart of Herne Bay, self contained accommodation in the Yard at "She Rose".  Only steps away from the sea, shops and restaurants in Herne Bay. The Little Ship is within the residence of artist Jo Oakley and is an extension of her eclectic home. 

"When I moved in to the property in January 2020 there was a dilapidated shed, the roof was leaky and while I knew it needed to be completely replaced I could see what a great spot it was for a studio. A complete rebuild has given new life and opportunity to a once derelict building. "

Just off the main space is a shower room, which as you would expect comes with it's own unique flair! A fabulous swan tap at the basin and the shower wall is adorned with one of Jo Oakley's copper printing plates.
