Dog-Friendly Cottages by the Sea in Camber Sands

Almost all of our cottages at Camber Sands welcome dogs, up to three per stay, and every one is a short walk from the beach. Most have a fully enclosed garden, and you can book them all direct with us.

We’re Richard & Sophie, local hosts on White Sand, and we’ve been welcoming guests and their dogs to Camber Sands since 2009. Our dog-friendly cottages are by the sea in two spots, on the White Sand development and at the Coastguard Cottages at Jury’s Gap, and some come with a dog welcome pack of treats, bowls and poo bags.

Book direct with us for no booking fees and local support from people who actually live here.

For where dogs can go on the beach each season, with the map, see our Camber Sands dog guide. You’ll also find the best walks nearby, dog-friendly pubs in Camber and our car-free travel guide.

Why Book a Dog-Friendly Cottage in Camber Sands?

From 1 October to 30 April the whole of Camber Sands is open to dogs. Even in summer they’re welcome either side of the no-dogs stretch between the Western car park and The Suttons, and the beach at Jury’s Gap, behind the Coastguard Cottages, is open to them all year. Our cottages are chosen with dog owners in mind: most have enclosed gardens, and every one is a short walk from the beach. Some also have a dog welcome pack with treats, bowls and poo bags, so you can travel lighter.

White Sand or Jury’s Gap: Which Is Better With a Dog?

Most of our cottages are on White Sand, between the dunes and the open marsh. For most of them the nearest way onto the beach is by the Western car park, which is also where the summer dog-friendly stretch towards Rye Harbour begins, so the first walk of the day works in any month. The village is a short walk too.

The Coastguard Cottages at Jury’s Gap are more tucked away. They’re about 0.1 mile from the beach steps (we’ve measured it), on a stretch dogs can use all year. Camber village is 2 miles away on foot, about 45 minutes, or a five-minute drive.

Very well managed holiday home, great amenities, super helpful guidebook and very easy to deal with hosts - best we’ve had on Airbnb etc. property itself was spotlessly clean, well maintained, tastefully decorated and walking distance from the beach.

What an absolute little gem of a place to find
We had a lovely weekend at The Hide celebrating a family birthday.
The house is nothing but perfection had everything we needed was in a beautiful location walking distance to the stunning beach and the fantastic Harry’s restaurant.
The hosts from start to finish have been so helpful and welcoming.
Our late check out was the icing on the cake to end our stay.
Will be coming back for sure and will be spreading the word the The Hide is a must see place.
Thankyou so much Sophie and family for everything.
See you soon xxx

Our family recently spent a few days in a cottage at Camber Sands as a memorial of several holidays there with our family dog, Maurice.  Maurice passed away in March 2026 after a wonderful holiday each year in Camber with the family.  He had spent 13 years running along the beach and over the dunes.  He did not like to run in the sea, but loved all his walks each day.

We have stayed in several cottages, small to large and found them all very welcoming and attractive.  Sophie and Richard always made sure we were made welcome on arrival with a pleasant surprise of cake etc and visits from them,  checking everything was acceptable for our stay. It was reassuring to have them on the site in case of any emergencies. Fortunately, we have never experienced any problems and look forward to many more visits, possibly with our granddaughter's new dog, Moose.

Great cottage. Well equipped. Nice-sized rooms. Very near the beach. Peaceful (although there is a firing range very close by). Good to have an outside seating area. Would stay there again.

Came for a stay with friends for a girls weekend of wine tasting, mooching around local shops, and good chats.  Seaglass was the perfect accommodation for us,overly outdoor space, large rooms inside and everything you need to make a stay feel relaxed and easy.  Communication with the hosts was very easy and speedy!  We will be back.  We came in Sept which for us was the perfect timing as it was more relaxing and less crowded I can imagine in summer it gets busy! We visited Charles Palmer wine tasting which we would highly recommend, Rye is where we mostly did shops and food and of course headed to the beach.  The Fig was a fantastic place for lunch with great services.

Perfect holiday retreat for our family of four and two dogs.  Great location, only 8 mins from the Western Beach (Zone C is dog friendly all year round) Lovely bright rooms - with a stunning view from the lounge.  Amenities were first class, as was the responsiveness of our hosts.  Hope to return to the Hide next year.

We were four  friends who  spent a lovely  4 days in Marine House.  Beside the Sea provided us with helpful and detailed instructions and information before the holiday.  The house on arrival was sparkling clean.  The house is comfortable and in a quiet location with a lovely deck looking out over fields.  The beach and The Owl restaurant are within walking distance - both fantastic.

The house layout might not suit families with small children but for us it was fine.

Books, games, playing cards would have been a bonus but there was a smart TV so we enjoyed watching films in the evening.

Excellent service from Beside the Sea.  Thank you.
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
    
 
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are dogs allowed on Camber Sands beach?
Yes. The whole of Camber Sands is open to dogs from 1 October to 30 April. From 1 May to 30 September dogs aren’t allowed on the beach or dunes between the Western car park and The Suttons, but they’re welcome either side of it: west towards Rye Harbour, and east along Broomhill Sands to Jury’s Gap. Our Camber Sands dog guide has the map.

How many dogs can I bring?
Up to three dogs per stay, in every cottage that takes dogs. Almost all of them do: the two that don’t are Marine House and Seaglass.

Do the cottages have enclosed gardens?
Yes, all but two of our dog-friendly cottages have a fully enclosed garden. The Surf Shack’s garden opens onto the marsh, and Beachcomber has no private garden. Enclosed means fenced or walled rather than guaranteed escape-proof, so if yours is a climber or a digger, ask us about the cottage you have in mind.

How close are the cottages to the beach?
Every one is a short walk. On White Sand, the walks we’ve measured from the door to the foot of the dunes run from about 0.2 to 0.3 of a mile, with the dunes to cross on top. The Coastguard Cottages at Jury’s Gap are about 0.1 mile from the beach steps.

Is there a charge for bringing a dog?
There’s a flat charge per stay, the same however many dogs you bring. It’s shown when you book.

What dog-friendly amenities are provided?
Some of our cottages include a dog welcome pack with treats, bowls and poo bags. Some also provide dog beds, towels and outdoor washing areas. Specific amenities vary by property.

Bringing the dog for Christmas? From 1 October to 30 April the whole of Camber Sands is open to dogs, so winter is when they get the most beach. Our Christmas in Camber Sands page covers Christmas and New Year stays, the cottages with log burners and what’s open over the holidays.

Not everyone in the party is bringing a dog. If someone travelling with you is allergic, we keep a small number of cottages pet-free, and no pet has ever stayed in them. Have a look at our pet-free holiday cottages.
