The sunrooms were amazing fantastic view of the beautiful beach. Property was well kitted out, very comfortable and a really good location. It was a good property for my 89 year old mother as she was able to sleep downstairs. The Owl was excellent.
Perfectly placed on the beach with beautiful sunrises and sunsets to watch and Amazing walks. This is a cozy, clean, welcoming home, with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing fun time. pubs and essential shops nearby and more in Rye 20 minutes away, loved it so much we have already booked for next year , Thank you for letting us share your home Louis & Louise
Lovely relaxing week in an amazing location. Some beautiful weather spent sitting outside in the sunshine. But we even enjoyed the rainy day as we had a prime view of the changing weather from the sunroom. I'm sure we will be back!
Lovely half term break in an amazing location. Whilst the weather was mixed, the hosts provided lots of games and books to keep us occupied! They’ve thought of everything. Thank you! Will certainly return!
Lovely well equipped cottage in perfect location
Stayed here with the dog to escape building work at home
Friends visited a couple of days and were very jealous I was there for a week
Spent a lot of time watching the world go by in the sun room (my favourite room) during the day
Cosy evenings eating and watching TV
Loved every minute even the night storm Ciarán rolled in !
Roxy had the best time enjoying long walks on the beach
Didn’t use the car all week
Communication with hosts was brilliant and information sent before arrival was excellent
Looking forward to coming back
We had wind and rain almost all week and yet we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Being able to look out directly over the beach was fantastic and it was well equipped for all kinds of weather.
Was a wonderful stay right on the beach. Precious moments having camber sands all to ourselves. Louise was a very professional generous host. It was well kitted out and we had everything we needed for a lovely family stay.
Property was lovely with everything that we could need. Teenager was on the downstairs mattress which was the only thing that they found very uncomfortable becayse not a proper mattelress but
This was our second visit and it was as great as the first. The house is in an amazing location right on the beach. The house itself is perfect for a family with two children. Our favourite room is the sun room overlooking the beach.
We had such a lovely few days stay after lockdown. Camber was quiet and what an ideal location. Very relaxed with all that you need. And great that we could bring our dog too at a time that dogs are allowed on all parts of the beach. We’ve already booked in our next stay!
Comfortable property with fab views. Perfect for our 3 generation break
A warm and welcoming property, appropriately furnished for a seaside break. Everything we needed from binoculars to 4 sizes of frying pans. Good quality bedding and a seating area outside with just one step on to sand. Camber Sands beach has to been seen. The view changes constantly with the tides, wind and sun.
Great location right on the beach as described. We went a bit out of season so some stuff around wasnt open, but it also meant the beach wasnt busy either.
The property is just what you need for that type of holiday. The condition of stuff is alright, not sparkling new.
The shower is a bit naff, a nice shower is sort of needed after sandy days.
There is a bit of mould downstairs, but it is right be the sea, so not sure how you avoid that tbh. The walls to neighbours are thin so noisy neighbours can be an issue.
Overall a good place to stay, great location, adquate facilities around and in the property.
This is a terrific holiday home. Right on the sands. Looking out of the front windows was a treat. Over the Christmas period hundreds of visitors with more dogs than you see at Crufts walked the massive beach, because of the light they looked like a scene from a Lowry painting. Our dog loved it too. House is very well equipped. Only problem we had was a massive puddle outside (it rained!) Meant we had to build a bridge to get to the carpark area but clearly not the fault of our hosts. Thoroughly recommend this home
