Escape with your loved ones to this pretty retreat sitting in the seaside village of Camber. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, this charming cottage is an excellent option for small families or groups of friends looking for a well-appointed base for adventures along the East Sussex coastline. During the day, take your dogs for a stroll along Camber Sands Beach, where you’ll find plenty of opportunities for windsurfing, kitesurfing and beachcombing. In the evening, come home to your cottage's pretty patio and indulge in a sizzling BBQ feast while your pups play safely in the enclosed, south-facing garden.

Park in your private parking spot and head towards your coastal-themed retreat. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a delightful open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with plenty of natural light and a beachy, soft-grey decor. Slip onto the sofa and make yourself at home before you head to the sleek kitchen area to rustle up some dinner. Gather everyone together for a sociable meal at the wooden dining table. Alternatively, head out onto the pretty patio, fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, relax by the wood burner-effect electric fire in the lounge area while your pups sleep at your feet. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you’ll discover a stylish double bedroom and a cosy twin room. Both spaces are thoughtfully decorated with charming seaside-themed decor. Completing the layout, you’ll find a well-appointed family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Take your pups for a walk at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve (6.5 miles) and you’ll discover an amazing 1150-acre coastal landscape of marshland and mudflats where you can spot terns and waders. While you’re there, drop by the Rye Harbour Discovery Centre (7 miles).

Sometimes properties do not live up to the images on websites. However Rufty Tufty was delightful. It was very clean, very tidy and fully equipped with everything we needed.

Fabulous little cottage perfectly located near the best beach. Entrance to both sides of cottage excellent so little paws could be wiped clean. Despite dodging the rain following local forecast enabled us to spend as much time in both cottage and on the amazing beach. Loved being able to sit and relax watching local wildlife

A very comfortable and well-equipped cottage in a quiet location. Good sized bedrooms and upstairs bathroom, plus an extra loo downstair which was a real bonus!
