Our Story
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.
We started small but Beside The Sea soon grew from a part-time job into a proper family business. While Sophie looks after the accounts side of things and Richard handles the web/techie stuff, we work together on all aspects of the business. This also includes Arthur (our 4 year old) and Dougal (our dog) – as a family, we love meeting guests who come and stay from all over the world.
Our mission is to offer a truly personal service to make your stay at one of our Camber Sands holiday 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!
