Beside The Sea Holidays is a family business: man, woman, boy and dog. We’re lucky to live every day beside the sea, and we take pride in sharing what our beautiful coastline and countryside has to offer our guests. Whether your ideal break is action-packed or reserved for long, leisurely walks on the beach or in the countryside, we’ll help you create a trip you’ll remember. We know all of the best places to enjoy the sea, culture, history and food that make this postcard-perfect pocket of the East Sussex and Kent coast the ideal destination for your well-deserved break! Beside The Sea was set up in 2009 by us, Richard and Sophie. Originally from Essex, we fell in love with Camber, Rye and the beautiful unspoilt sandy beach over 10 years ago and bought a holiday cottage. It didn’t take us long to realise that we wanted to offer a much more personal service to holiday cottage owners and their guests than we had experienced from other agencies. Our mission is to offer a truly personal service to make your stay at one of our cottages as relaxing as we possibly can. Any queries, any issues, we’re here for you and just around the corner. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

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.
