The house is great - cosy, comfortable, well-equipped, nicely decorated - and is very close to the sea. There is a beach two minutes' walk from the house which at low tide is expansive, with sand and shingle, and you can walk all the way to Camber Sands if you're feeling energetic. Otherwise it is a very short drive to Camber, where the beach is beautiful, as there are stunning dunes and there is very little development. It is also not far to drive to Rye one way and Dungeness the other, both of which have their charms. We liked the bleakness of Dungeness a lot, although we found the food at the Pilot Inn only so-so. Still worth it for sitting outside and looking across the shingle to the sea, though.The location of the house is not quite as picturesque or as remote as it can seem from the photos, as it is close to the road, flanked by an MoD firing range, and has some rather scruffy houses close by - but we liked it immensely anyway, for the proximity of the sea and other places to visit not too far away. And I liked the view out of the bedroom window across the marshes to the wind turbines. The beds are also incredibly comfy and we all slept well. One of the best things about the house is the digital guide that comes with it - which is exceptional, providing great information on where to shop, eat, visit - helping us discover amazing hot chocolate in Rye, a really fun animal park (with safari) in Lympne, an evocative castle with a moat in Bodiam, a great pub lunch (the Owl) in Camber and so forth. And the manager, Sophie, was very responsive when we had a problem with the wifi, which was resolved quickly. All in all, a great stay, only 2 hours' drive from London where we live, and a real break. We would happily return.
