Step out onto the boardwalk that leads from the front door of this charming clapboard cottage and within 2 minutes you’ll arrive at Camber Sands. The enormous beach with its sugar-soft sands, sea breeze and sand dunes awaits picnics, swimming and sand castles. Spend all day outdoors then follow the lane home and fire up the BBQ whilst the children run wild on the lawn out back.

If there’s a nip in the air, light the Mendip woodburning and get cosy indoors. Seaside interiors include clam shell pottery and a dining table crafted from reclaimed decking of the old Hastings Pier. A super-king master bedroom is a peaceful haven for parents and the second bedroom has bunk beds and a single so it’s perfect for 3 kids. Do bring friends or grandparents too; you can add an additional ensuite studio for a small charge, with a kingsize bed (plus a sofabed for kids). The property even has 3 private parking spaces that are like gold dust in the summer months. For a change of scene Rye and Dungeness are minutes away by car — medieval cobbled streets, foodie cafes, antique-ing, and Britain’s only desert.

Getting here: drive, or train to Rye then taxi (15 mins)

Camber Sands Cottage

“I’d watched an old BFI Pathe News Reel about the Beach Warden and shell artist of Camber Sands and came to see if any of the shell houses he decorated were still around – and found one for sale! Two of of the long garden walls still have his shell art running along them.” Owner, James

My Kip favourites

He loves
“Watching films and reading by the fire after long walks on the amazing beach.”

We love
The artistry that runs through the place; from shell art to framed Rye Society of Artists annual show posters, and lovely seashell soaps by Annings of Dorset (a gift for Kip guests).

You may not love
A 7-night min in July & Aug, changing over Saturdays. Renting the studio too is an additional cost (see FAQ). The road in can get puddly in winter.

  • “Really lovely cosy place with nice decor, a really big garden and ideally located for the beach. We had friends and their daughter stay in the en-suite studio and it never felt crowded. The kids loved the garden and despite being so close to the beach it was quiet and felt very private. We’ve been twice now in different seasons and will definitely be coming again.”

    A. Sheedy, July
  • "Lovely light and spacious accommodation. Comfortable shabby chic interiors with everything you need. Very well appointed. The fireplace was wonderful with a glass of red wine in the evenings. A great, easy going place for families. We were very comfortable, thank you James!"

    Lauren, February
  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seashells. The house has everything you need for a lovely long weekend by the sea, and the enclosed garden was a real bonus for the dog. It’s a homely property with lots of character & a relaxed, lived-in feel. Overall, we had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay and loved being so close to the sea."
