Description
Wake in comfort to the sound of the sea, explore the misty brooding Romney Marsh, then warm up in the many atmospheric pubs with intriguing histories, resident ghouls, roaring fireplaces, cracking ales and tasty pub grub, walk along our pebbled beach, look out across the shimmering blue sea and you'll feel like you've discovered another world..
Stay at Coastguard's Beach House and discover a landscape full of myth's and legends, surrounded by the haunting loneliness of Romney Mash. A flat, open landscape of wide skies and fields criss-crossed by a lattice of drainage ditches, where yellow waterlilies float in early summer, it offers the opportunity to wander quiet lanes and paths and to visit some of its famous medieval churches and the vast stretch of historic invasion coast.
Built in this secluded spot, to help guard against smuggling and invasion, this beautiful renovated coastguard cottage is the perfect location for a holiday away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Response from the manager Thank you for taking the time to submit this review. Naturally I am rather disappointed by your comments as there are a number of inaccuracies in the review. The property is in a secluded spot right next to the beach as you can see by the arial photos of the cottages which also show the surrounding area. As far as the presence of the wind farm that is located over two miles away, no attempt is made to conceal its presence as you can see them on the photos that accompany the listing and also on the google map. The digger may have been there carrying out works to the sea defences as the entrance to the beach area is near Coastguards. Again this is noted on the listing, but it tends to be more in the winter than Spring/Summer. Regarding the master bedroom drawers and slow draining bath tub, these would have been quite quick simple things for myself to put right for you - in the electronic guide book you received I do ask guests to let me know if there are any niggly issues as the cleaners are human and during busy periods they can miss things or forget to report back. If I somehow seemed unapproachable, I apologise. But I am here to make your stay better: a quick phone call, email or text, and I can fix most problems while you’re out enjoying yourself. There is a hairdryer located in the single rooms chest of drawers, which is noted in your electronic guide. I am however deeply disappointed in your comment that I asked you to go and stand outside in the wind to dry your hair as that is very dishonest statement for you to make. Thank you for the kind comments on our digital house guide as a lot of work goes into that to make it as definitive as possible for our guests to get the most out of their stay and that you enjoyed the welcome goodies. Again I am sorry that your holiday with us didn’t live up to your expectations or that of the other reviewers here on Trip Advisor. Kind regards Richard

“Beautiful Cottage”
We wanted a tranquil retreat for a few days for our first family holiday (we have an 8 week old) no more than 90 minutes outside of London. The cottage was exactly what we were looking for. A fantastic location away from all the hustle and bustle, within a minutes walk from the beach. The cottage had everything that we needed and was a ten minute drive from Rye which was great for a day exploration. The team that look after the properties in particular Richard was lovely and send through a guide prior to us arriving which was PACKED with information and recommendations. I couldn't recommend it enough and will definitely be going back

“Relaxing and homely!”
Lovely stay. Beautifully decorated cottage and wonderfully close to the sea. Good to swim at high tide on an almost deserted beach. Cottage is peaceful at night, homely and very well-equipped.

“Fabulous location - gorgeous cottage”
This lovely coastguard's cottage in a splendid location, just a few strides from the beach, was everything we needed it to be for a "get away from it all" weekend. The cottage is really comfortable, cosy and tastefully furnished - we will definitely be back for a longer stay.
