Salt in the air. Sunshine on the dunes. Purrs from a sunny windowsill. Cat Friendly Holidays Camber Sands means you can bring your feline friend to the seaside and settle into a cosy, pet‑friendly cottage near Rye. We’re local, we’re welcoming—and yes, cats are welcome by request 😺

Quick note: Our homes aren’t specially fitted for cats. They’re pet‑friendly properties where well‑behaved cats are very welcome.

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:

Enclosed gardens or patios where cats can explore safely (please note, they are standard fences, not catio’s)
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.

How We Build a Cat-Welcoming Cottage

We go beyond “pet-tolerant” by ensuring every stay feels thoughtful and complete:

Peaceful surroundings: minimal noise, more calming vibes
Cat-safe interiors: no exposed hazards, soft surfaces
Clean, well-maintained spaces: prioritising hygiene and feline needs
Multi-pet options: travelling with dogs too? We’ll match you to the best cottage

Every detail is planned for feline comfort—so you can enjoy your holiday without worry.

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.
