From Our Family to Yours At Beside The Sea Holidays, we’re not just a business—we’re a family. Richard, Sophie, Arthur, and Dougal, all lucky enough to live beside the sea every day. We’re passionate about sharing the magic of our beautiful coastline and countryside with our guests, helping you create the kind of memories that stay with you long after the sand has been shaken from your shoes.

Owlers Cottage in Camber Sands takes its name from the smugglers who plied their trade on the surrounding marsh and nearby medieval town of Rye, “the (former) smuggling capital of England.” Unluckily for the smugglers, there were no modern, exquisitely outfitted beach cottages like this one in the 18th century! Smugly enjoy 21st century experiences like sitting on the sunny decked patio while sipping espressos from the kitchen’s Nespresso machine, or cosy evenings around a contemporary electric fireplace and 40″ flat screen TV in the lounge. This magazine worthy cottage also features two plush bedrooms in coastal colours and a shared bath. Speaking of coastal colours: walk a few minutes to the dunes of Camber Sands and take a dip in the shallow, sparkling waters. Adventurers can kite-surf or windsurf, and your four-legged friends can have their own adventure exploring the dunes. Like many of the cottages at Beside the Sea, Owlers Cottage is pet-friendly! After a day at the beach, drive 10 minutes to the medieval town of Rye with its quaint cobbled streets, gastro-pubs and antique shops. Smuggle home a local wine to enjoy with freshly caught scallops.
