Coastguard’s Cottage | Camber, E. Sussex

8 guests • 4 Bedrooms • 5 Beds • 3 Bathrooms

A unique holiday cottage in the south of England, just a few minutes away from the gorgeous beach of Camber Sands and the Dungeness.

This transformed seaside cottage is situated on the edge of the gorgeous beach of Camber Sands, ideal for trips to the British coast with your loved ones. Cosy up by the fire with a hot cup of tea, or sunbathe in the walled garden with an ice cream and your dog. Either way, the Coastguard’s Cottage will charm you with its style! Recently renovated to accommodate more visitors, this property’s unique style has gained features in the Condé Nast Traveller, Absolutely London, and Coast Magazine among a number of other publications.

The building’s history is visible in every corner of the house, with layers of old and new coming together in a stylish blend that will instantly make you feel right at home. With four spacious bedrooms, two living areas, and a spacious patio, it is the perfect spot for large groups. Famous for its golden dunes and coastal retreats, this area is a great destination for holiday-goers seeking local adventures, offering top-rated culinary destinations for bon-vivants and fantastic walks to explore the beauty and wilderness of England.

Kindly note we do not recommend this stay for younger children/toddlers. This is because we do not provide cots, high chairs, nor stair gates and have wood burners. The property has external terrace steps, stairs, and an attic ladder so not suitable for guests with mobility issues.

About the space

Arriving at the garden and seeing an old boat used as a planter tells you everything you need to know; this is a special place filled with charm like no other! A spacious outdoor seating area with a walled firepit offers protection on those windy nights spent around the fire but on a sunny day, the large wooden table comfortably sits large groups for family-style meals.

Past the floor-to-ceiling glass door, there is a modern kitchen with a stainless-steel countertop that runs the full length of the room and a white enamel wood-burner that you can get going when the weather gets colder. The medieval table adds patina to the room while the tongue and groove walls balance and complete the look. On the same floor, are also the reading and living rooms, both organized in front of fireplaces with exposed brick that leave them a bit unfinished and wild, so site-specific to their context.

Heading upstairs you’ll find a single room and the master bedroom with a cozy king-size bed and a vintage vanity table, as well as a bathroom with a large tub for bubble baths with a view of the ocean. Accessed via a ladder stair, the attic bedroom never fails to impress as it nests comfortably under the eaves of the top floor overlooking the waves crashing on the shore. Two more bedrooms, one twin and one double, are located on the lower ground floor with their own separate bathroom clad in terrazzo tiles that remind us of the beach outside.

  • The new kitchen and dining area will have everything you need, even a stylish wood burner that you can get going for a cozy atmosphere!

  • With 5 bedrooms and a spacious living and dining area, this beautiful home is ideal for your next group getaway!

  • Located just a few minutes away from the Camber Sands, famous for its golden dunes and coastal retreats.
