Eat

There are a several dining options and a couple of local shops within a short walk of the cottages. Local favourites are The Owl Pub, good food and very child and dog friendly, and The Gallivant a bit more "special" but equally very child and dog friendly.

For cozy nights in the cottages have a selection of DVDs, games, puzzles, toys, books and unlimited free wifi. You’ll also find beach and garden toys in both cottages to help you enjoy the outdoors.

About the owners

Carol

Listed since July 2010

We have been visiting Camber Sands and Rye for over five decades and always look forward to coming back. Great walks, wonderful places to visit just a few miles away and, of course, the beach. Miles of it. As regular visitors to our cottages, we make sure that everything is as it should be; we also check out the best places to eat, drink and have fun and share our experiences with our guests in our guest information.

Owner recommendations

The beach has got to be number one; build sandcastles, hide in the dunes, play football, run, jump and explore.
Bodiam Castle, a moated medieval castle, is great to explore and has large grounds perfect for picnics.
Discover historic Rye, with its medieval buildings, tea rooms, castle and cannon garden and a very good miniature model of the town as it was in 1830.
Take a ride on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway whose one third scale steam and diesel trains run between Hythe and Dungeness.
Explore Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, take the bikes, pop into the visitors' centre, or bird watch from the hides.
