Plan a coastal getaway with your canine companion at this colourful home in Rye Harbour. Sleeping four, it’s well suited to a small family or two couples keen to explore the beautiful beaches, nature reserves and historic towns of East Sussex. You’ll have a village shop and two dog-friendly pubs within 150 metres, along with peaceful walks leading along the River Rother through wildlife-rich wetlands – ideal for getting your pet’s tail wagging.

Inside, the characterful lounge combines retro-chic style with comfortable seating, a Smart TV, a music stereo, and a wood burner – lovely for relaxed evenings in with your pet. There’s a handy desk area for planning tomorrow’s adventure, plus an attractive kitchen/diner with a wooden table. A utility cupboard and separate WC complete the ground floor. When it’s time to retire for the night, head up to the first floor where you’ll find a king-size bedroom and family bathroom with a free-standing bath and walk-in shower. The second floor is home to a lovely double bedroom set in the eaves. Outside, the enclosed garden gives dogs a secure space to let off steam while the humans make use of the raised deck and furnished patio. There’s also an outdoor kitchen and egg-shaped BBQ. On-street parking is available, subject to availability.

Nearby, don’t miss a trip to the medieval market town of Rye (2 miles) where you can snap a pic of your pup on the iconic Mermaid Street and browse antique shops. The beautiful Camber Sands (6 miles) is known for its vast sandy beach and dunes – in summer, head to the western car park for direct access to the doggie-friendly zone. Keen walkers and nature-loving hounds can explore the nearby wetlands and nature reserves, keeping an eye out for local wildlife and seabirds along the way. For a traditional day beside the sea, both Hastings and Bexhill are within 18 miles.

What a fabulous place to stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and finished to such a high quality :- stunning kitchen and bathroom particularly and the outside space was utilised to best effect and created a lovely sun-trap. We really appreciated how well resourced the kitchen was and the lovely sharp knives! The beds were really comfortable Read moreand there seemed lots of space for a terraced cottage - a real tardis!. Both pubs in the close vicinity were so welcoming and both did scrumptious food and were very welcoming to dogs. We loved walking through the nature reserve to the beach - picking up a coffee on the way. Having the small park just across the road was very useful for early morning and late night trips for the dog. A perfect base for lots of trips out to Rye, local National Trust Castle and woodland and beach walks. Thank you for a lovely stay. Hide
