Description
Downstairs there is a large kitchen diner and double living room, plus a shower room and utility room perfect for washing off the sea salt and sand. Outside a deck offers a stunning place for an evening barbecue, complete with glorious sunsets and the sounds of birds from nearby Romney Marsh. Upstairs there are three bedrooms – two king size and a twin – plus a spacious bathroom with bath and shower.
Throughout, the colour palette is subtle and restrained; soft greys and taupe, natural cottons and linens, paired with artfully ‘shabby chic’ painted furniture and reclaimed pieces. Perfectly put together to hero the real treat – views from house and garden that stretch over the fields and across to beautiful Romney Marsh.
Walland Cottage can be rented along with its neighbour, Romney Cottage – so perfect for groups who want to spend time together but still have their own space to retreat to at the end of the day.

Location
Adjacent Romney Marsh is a unique area, a hundred square miles famed for sweeping skies, wonderful walking and cycling along largely flat routes, and abundant wildlife. It is also bordered by the nature reserve at Dungeness.
More densely populated, but no less picturesque – the medieval port town of Rye is just a short drive away. There are a wealth of independent shops, cafes and galleries. Hastings and Brighton are also within easy reach if you would like to venture further afield.
Things to do
Some may be very content to spend every day on the beach at Camber – and why not? There are plenty of beautiful walks, and plenty of space for a family day of sandcastles, paddling and picnics. Walland Cottage welcomes dogs, and the beach is dog-friendly, so your furry pal can come along too. There are plenty of activities on the water, as well as next to it. This is one of the UK’s best places for kite-surfing.
Romney Marsh is brimming with attractions; there are beautiful historic churches and buildings, nature spotting at Dungeness (a Site of Special Scientific Interest thanks to the uniqueness of the habitat and sheer number and diversity of species), and the 90 year old Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Steam Railway.
Rye is often described as one of England’s best kept secrets. It is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in England, and it’s possible to while away happy hours just wandering around streets with such evocative names as ‘Mermaid Street’ and ‘Watchbell Lane’ – taking in the wonderful crooked medieval houses and cobbled streets. Stop for a drink at the 11th century Mermaid Inn, before finding out more about the town’s history at the Rye Castle Museum, and stocking up for a delicious supper at the Rye Deli.
Food and Drink
If you’re a keen cook, don’t miss the Rye Farmers’ Market, held on Wednesday mornings, to stock up on local meat, fish and other produce. And to wash it down – perhaps a visit to Chapel Down Vineyard for some local English wine?
Eat out in Rye and you will be spoilt for choice. Webbe’s at the Fish Café is in a former warehouse, and serves the local seafood, often with an Asian twist. The Landgate Bistro also prides itself on using local produce and is an enduring favourite. The restaurant at The George has some more sophisticated dishes, and don’t miss the Lazy Baker, for local artisan bread.

Reviews
Thank you, we had a wonderful trip to Camber over half term. Walland Cottage was a wonderful find, Rosie a brilliant host. We all loved it, perfect for us as a family, a wonderful place to chill out and be together and to explore the wonderful beach and Rye. Thank you Zoe for all your help, but also for selecting a beautiful collection of properties for us to choose from. We look forward to booking with you again soon.
A 5 star stay. Fantastic house in a wonderful location. Sandy beach 2 mins from the house. The house is very good and has everything you need. We really liked the fire and open kitchen. Really enjoyed the surrounding area. Rosie was brilliant with fantastic suggestions for food and places to visit. Rosie’s communication really good and no complaints at all. We liked the Queens Head at Icklesham and William the conqueror at Rye Harbour and really enjoyed Dungeness and snack shack. We didn’t have time to meet Rosie, but she offered to show my kids the tractors and we are planning our return trip already as my kids want to meet her dogs and see the farm. We had a very enjoyable stay and both my kids were very unhappy to go leave.
These cottages are delightful and beautifully placed with views of rolling fields and a tiny stroll to golden sands. The photographs are nice but from the moment you open the door, you realise these cottages are much much more than nice, they are exceptional, Rosie has thought of everything that a holidaying couple, family, families would ever need with extra special touches. Sparkling clean, comfy beds, cosy fire and aesthetically pleasing in every way. Our stay here was just perfect, with the beach walks and stunning Rye just a very short drive away, it’s the perfect staycation.
.Rosie’s place was lovely. Clean and well appointed and even more lovely than it looked in the photos. The position is fabulous. A really short hop to the sea. Rosie was the perfect host. Answered all our questions quickly, was kind and attentive but left us alone to have a wonderful time. Lovely touches in the house made it the prefect stay.
.The cottage is so beautiful, located a few minutes walk from the sandy beach and surrounded by fields, while also being a quick drive away from some local towns- we recommend visiting Hastings old town, Rye and Winchelsea beach! We felt instantly at home in the clean and calm house which had everything we could possibly need and more. We felt sad to leave the perfect getaway and would love to return one day..
