Location.

The Hideaway is located behind the dunes of Camber Sands beach, in East Sussex, UK, in the village of Camber, near Rye. It is the only sand dune system in East Sussex, and is east of the estuary of the River Rother at Rye Bay stretching 3 miles to just beyond the Kent border, where shingle and pebbles take over again. The dunes provides a valuable natural habitat to many animals and plants. There is private parking for one car on the driveway and free street parking is available in front of the property.

What People Are Saying.

 

“This is a wonderful house. As someone said before - unassuming on the outside, stunning decor on the inside! But it not only looks good it has everything you need and more, with so many thoughtful touches like sensor lights in the hall so you are not stumbling in the dark to a light switch. It has all the kitchen equipment you could want, a downstairs shower room so you don't trample sand all through the house - such clever ideas. All this and so close to the beach. Highly recommended.”

— Paula

“This house was beautiful; well decorated, well-equipped, and ultra modern. Super close to the beach, very quiet, ideal for a weekend escape from London. We stayed here as a group of 8 girls and had the best time, and the best nights sleep a lot of us had had in a long time. Maggie was very thoughtful and a perfect host. We are already looking to stay here again!”

— Hope

“We had the most wonderful weekend away. The house is beautiful inside and is superbly equipped. The living room is a great size for two families to relax in comfort and there is a splendid dining room table too. It is in a great location with just a short walk to the sandy beach and sand dunes of camber sands. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wants to get away and have a relaxing holiday with home from home comforts and rather luxurious bathrooms too.”
