Property code: OC-BT084

For couples and small families looking to escape to the Sussex coast with their four-legged friend in tow, this coastal abode is a brilliant base. Enjoying open-plan living and access to a shared garden, you'll be able to socialise inside and out with your loved ones. What's more, within half a mile you'll be able to access Camber Sands Beach, where much of the sand welcomes dogs at all times of the year.

As you step inside you'll be welcomed by the cosy open-plan living area which is filled with natural light thanks to the large window. A comfortable chaise sofa sits in the centre of the room, encouraging guests to kick back and relax with Fido at their feet and a film on the TV. Here you'll also find the four-seater oak dining table. At the back of the room is the neutral kitchen where you can whip up meals and snacks all through the day. On the first floor is the master bedroom, furnished with a sumptuous king-size bed for a good night's rest with plenty of storage for all of your belongings. The second bedroom is quirky with a double bed, located next to the family bathroom. The shared garden is surrounded by a pretty white picket fence with a table and chairs for a spot of al fresco dining in the summer sunshine.

For a coastal stroll, visit Dungeness National Nature Reserve (8 miles) for a tail-wagging adventure with panoramic viewpoints, a charming lighthouse and plenty of exciting scents to sniff. 3 miles away you'll find the charming town of Rye which is bursting with history and has beautiful cobbled streets lined with architecturally interesting buildings. Many of the pubs and cafes here welcome dogs with open arms making it a great day out for humans and hounds.

Lovely cosy house. Well stocked with essentials. Not safe for dogs as no fence or gate to property.

The property is lovely, clean and well appointed with everything we needed and more. Quiet and peaceful. We had a lovely holiday with a lot of sunshine just before the schools broke up. Plenty to do in the area, more suited locally for the able bodied which unfortunately we no longer are. Local shop is well stocked and a supermarket in Rye for otheRead morer things. Hide

This cottage states it has a small enclosed garden and a communal area for dogs but we were disappointed because the garden had no gate and a wobbly fence so we couldnt our dog out. The communal area was ok but not like having a garden

I have no hesitation recommending the accommodation or it's location. A lovely little house a stone's throw from my favourite beach. Fab shower too!

A very cozy, well equipped and very clean little house. It was perfect for our (family of 4 plus dog) 7 day holiday - both with regard to the location and the house itself. When we arrived, we found a bottle of red wine and treats for our dog waiting for us - a very nice suprise!

I have always taken holidays that are self catering. It has to be said that this property was equipped to a very high standard to the point that I need not have taken stuff from home. Very pleased.
