Coastguards Beach House, a beautifully renovated 1875 Coastguards cottage, offers the perfect coastal retreat at Jury's Gap. Experience breathtaking views of both the sea and the marshland designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, all while being just steps away from the beach and a short distance from the charming village of Camber and the historic town of Rye. Inside, you'll find a cozy log burner, comfortable lounge, and modern kitchen, making it the ideal location for a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Dining & Lounging
Coastguards Beach House has a contemporary and sociable open plan layout downstairs, ideal for enjoying the company of your holiday group. A log burning stove warms the space and sets the scene for relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine.
The newly equipped kitchen is fully stocked, with a breakfast bar and farmhouse dining table for planning the day ahead. For ingredients that are fresh as it gets, take a quick drive to Rye for seafood fresh from the boat and Romney marsh lamb from the local butchers. Talk to Beside the Sea for our recommendations!
Bed & Bath
Upstairs you'll find a beautiful, modern, family bathroom and two bedrooms.
The large, comfortable master bedroom has a double bed with views of the sea, coastal garden and adjoining coastguard cottages.
A family bathroom includes wash hand basin, w.c and a raised shower bath with screen, providing you a coveted choice between a relaxing bubble bath whilst stargazing, or a refreshing shower with a view of waves lapping the shore.
The second bedroom has two 3ft beds and a single fold away bed with un-spoilt views over the marsh. This room also benefits from an en-suite shower room with marsh views.
Outdoors
The cottage has a fully enclosed south-facing and quiet garden, the site of many relaxing holiday evenings after exploring historical sites, walking the marsh, and playing in the waves. The beach is just steps away over the seawall, with a paved boardwalk spanning its length for easy walks and jogs
Sea Defence Works and Nearby Military Firing Range
Our properties are situated near the Lydd Ranges, a historic military firing range that has been in use for over 150 years. This unique area is also a nature reserve and part of the Dungeness, Romney Marsh, and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to incredibly rare plants and animals. While this adds to the natural beauty and significance of the area, it also means that certain times the ranges won't be accessible to walk along. Don't worry as there will still be several miles of beach to walk along as you head to Camber.
Military Firing Range Information:
Access to the foreshore is occasionally restricted due to live firing exercises. Red flags are flown during these times, indicating that access is prohibited for safety reasons.
When firing is not taking place, it may be possible to walk along a designated path along the shore, offering a chance to enjoy this unique environment.
