Cottage was spotless, the information available was easy to follow, and the host was very responsive and helpful! Even when a misunderstanding arose from Truvi (the external check-in company), host Richard was very kind and understanding, and eventually the unnecessary charge was refunded. Would recommend.
Our stay at Owlers cottage couldn't have been better. We chose this because it was dog friendly and its proximity to the beach. The house was spotless, and was kitted out with everything we needed, down to loo rolls, tea towels, hand soap, dishwasher and washing machine tablets. No need to bring anything than your own toiletries and beach towels. It had added extras like a Nespresso coffee machine and multi room Alexa. All within a 10 min walk from the sandy dunes of Camber beach, and a few pubs/restaurants, that are all dog friendly. Couldn't recommend enough. A real 5 star staycation.
Lovely stay in camber sands - property was exactly as expected and in a great area close to beach and downtown rye. The property owners could not have been more communicative and professional. Would def recommend!
