Enjoy a taste of beachside living and escape to the coast at this charming old coastguard's abode. Step off the beach and into this home for an evening spent snuggling up and getting cosy, or sip an al fresco tipple in the garden. Stunning views are a real treat to wake up to before heading out to explore your glorious surroundings.

 

Leave coats, leads and sandy footwear in the porch before continuing through to the open-plan living space. Throw open the French doors and let the fresh sea air fill the house and your lungs as it flows throughout. The lounge area is a sophisticated spot for a cup of tea and a good book, or curl up in the conservatory which is a light, bright space. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and dine in style with family and friends. The classic charm of this bolthole continues past the ground floor twin and upstairs to the spacious king-size bedroom where you can admire the wonderful views from the Captain's chair. Freshening up is a treat in the pleasant bathroom where muddy paws can be rinsed with ease and you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the bath.

 

Paddle, splash and savour a tasty picnic at the local beach where you can wander across the shingle and work up a healthy appetite. If you prefer a roam which includes spying out nature and wildlife, head to the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve, 7 miles from home or 3 miles to the Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve which is known for its fantastic biodiversity management.

Old coast guard cottage on Pett Level beach was a perfect place to spend a week to get away from it all x to think to walk and to just be. The back garden leads to a quiet peaceful pebble beach and with the right shoes you could just wander x take your cup of morning coffee and sit and let your mind wander as you stare out at the vastness of the seRead morea The cottage is quaint and full of character. But also a comfortable haven. It has a wild garden which I loved. Thank you Hide

3rd visit, maybe he 4th. Love the place it always feels homely. The accommodation is well laid out, the conservatory is a lovely space. Everything works. Pet safe. Ideally located to visit either Hastings or Rye within 15 mins.

A regular visit for us as the coast line from the back garden is always breath taking. The privacy of the back garden allows you to enjoy the peacefulness without being looked over. Its a great place to switch off or enjoy the walks of the local area.

The little cottage has a very homely atmosphere and in a great location for beaches and many places of interest. My dog Muppet and I loved the beach at Pett Level when the tide was out, you could walk for miles and it was very refreshing and relaxing.

Clean and well appointed cottage in fabulous location with garden and direct access to the beach. The sea view is limited from upper window but this can be easily remedied, and we look forward to returning at some point.

We had a very good week. The house is comfortable and the situation is perfect. Might be worth mentioning that the shower over the bath could be a challenge for older or less able visitors.
