Dory

Dory, Camber Sands

One of the UK’s best beaches sits just a short stroll from Dory, a 2-bedroom cottage with a modern-nautical interior design that incorporates ocean-hued fabrics and wall colours, plus a crackling log burner that is heavenly after a stroll on the windswept Camber Sands beach.

A fully equipped kitchen starts your day off on sunny footing with all appliances on-hand to help with breakfast. From the living area, glass doors open to your sun filled garden patio. Let kids and dogs explore this fully enclosed, decked space while you sip a perfectly foamed latte from the kitchen’s Nespresso machine.

Once you are sufficiently caffeinated, set off to explore the beach mere steps away, or the cobblestone charms of Rye just a 10-minute drive. As parents and dog owners ourselves, Beside the Sea provides all the necessities to keep all family members happy, from beach toys to dog treats and superfast fibre-optic broadband.

Pet Friendly Dory

Dogs love to have a good sniff around a beach – space to run, water to splash in, interesting smells to discover and plenty of other dogs to play with. So when you bring your four-legged friend to White Sand, it’s good to know that the dog friendly beach is right on your doorstep. They will be in hound heaven!

Dog friendly Dory Cottage is the perfect place to bring your faithful furry companion. A beautiful beach at the back door, lots of great places to go for walks, and even dog friendly pubs so that you can both enjoy a relaxing drink after a day of sniffing about the wide open beach at Camber Sands.

Eat & drink

Good food makes for great holidays, and rest assured of eating well during your stay. Whether you prefer cosy inns with roaring fires or fine dining restaurants on the beach; the simple pleasures of crispy fish & chips or gourmet delicacies crafted from farm-fresh produce; you will be spoilt for choice here.

Beside the sea and surrounded by farmland, it’s little surprise that many ingredients come from only a few miles away. A few local favourites of ours include the famous Romney Marsh Lamb, Rye bay Scallops and Dover sole, as well as traditional English pub dishes such as Rye Bay fish… not to mention our award-winning sparkling wines.

Fancy yourself a chef? Then the fully stocked kitchen at Dory will be your culinary playground. Simply add fresh ingredients from colourful farmers markets and delis and have fun.

What to see and do

At the crossroads of 1066 Country and The Garden of England, in a land of stunning coastline and countryside, ancient towns and historic sites, Camber Sands is an exceptional place.

In Your Backyard

Discover the beauty on the doorstep of the White Sand community, wending along lanes past sheep dotted fields, orchards, vineyards, cobbled streets and castles. Stroll to the sea in three minutes.

Be enriched by England’s loveliest counties, alive with their exciting past: visit beautiful town of Rye with its history woven with seafaring tales of naval battles, violent storms, lifeboat heroics and smuggling and her neighbouring Cinque port towns: Canterbury with Chaucer’s pilgrims, Rochester with Dickens.

Historical Sites

Over the centuries, East Sussex & Kent coast—as the closest points to mainland Europe—have been the invader’s gateway to Britain, and as such, have witnessed some of the most important moments in the country’s history.

With such a rich past it’s no surprise that this corner of the country is teeming with places of historical significance—from ruins to castles, from ancient woodland to prehistoric coastline.

See where a monumental battle famously reshaped the nation at Battle of Hastings. Explore the moated 1385 Bodian Castle. Visit beautiful town of Rye with its cobbled streets and a history woven with seafaring tales of naval battles, violent storms, lifeboat heroics and smuggling. Step into famous literary settings in the neighbouring Cinque port towns, like Canterbury (Chaucer) and Rochester (Dickens).

Outdoor Activities

Choose the tone for your holiday: Find an adrenaline rush while soaring above the sea on a kite-surfing excursion or hurtling down a zip wire through county parks. Or partake in more relaxing pastimes, like long walks along the many path and cycleways and even longer afternoons spent reclined on the beach. Or mix a bit of both.

Museums

For those of you who like a bit of culture, visit the many museums and galleries found throughout our historic towns. You’ll find vast collections of historical importance, fine art, landscape photography and theatre productions set in some of the most atmospheric locations.

Being only one and a half hours from London you can also make the most of what the capital has to offer, take in a show in the West End, shop in Oxford Street or visit the many iconic sites

With the blend of tradition and culture in Rye and the beauty and tranquillity of Camber Sands, Dory Cottage is ideally positioned to enjoy the very best this unique corner of England has to offer.
