Escape to Beach Boutique: A Luxurious Haven in Camber Sands

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (33)
"We would like to thankyou for letting us stay at Beach Boutique. We've never stayed at a property which was so clean, tidy and well equipped. The location was excellent for Camber Sands and for Rye. We were lucky with the weather so was able to walk into Rye for lunch. Communication was the best and lovely the little booklet we were emailed with all the information we needed for our stay. All 4 for us had such a lovely time we were sad to go home. We will definitely return in the future....
