What Makes Camber Sands Ideal for Cats
Camber Sands isn’t just dog-friendly—it’s truly feline-friendly too. At Beside The Sea Holidays, our cottages are designed with both safety and comfort in mind. You’ll find:

-
Calm, quiet interiors with sunny windowsills and cosy corners
-
Dune pathways nearby, perfect for gentle strolls (leashed or in carrier)
These features help cats feel secure and at ease—a top priority when travelling.

Top Tips for a Stress-Free Feline Holiday
-
Pack familiar items: favourite bed, blanket, toy
-
Bring essentials: food, bowls, litter tray, carrier
-
Transition slowly: arrive in daylight, keep routines similar
-
Use secure outdoor spaces: let your cat explore safely
-
Keep calm indoors: quiet rooms help cats adjust faster
These simple steps make a big difference to keep your cat happy and relaxed during the stay.
Can I Bring Multiple Cats?
Yes—you can. We’re happy to accommodate two or more cats. Just let us know when booking, and we’ll assign a cottage with appropriate space and features for a comfortable multi-cat stay.
Is There an Extra Charge for Cats?
A small cleaning fee may apply depending on the cottage. We make pet fees transparent and easy to see before you book—so no surprises when you arrive.
Can Cats Explore the Beach?
Some cats enjoy short walks on a leash or in a secure carrier, especially on quiet early mornings. For others, the best view comes from a sunny cottage window—dunes and sea in sight, without the stress of a walk. Either way, your cat can enjoy a coastal view.
What If I’m Arriving with a Dog Too?
No problem—many of our cottages are great for both cats and dogs. Just tell us during booking, and we’ll recommend one with separate spaces, secure gardens, and room for all your furry family.
