Beachside boutique hotel on Camber Sands with English wine and daily yoga
Dining
The restaurant, Harry's, is led by chef Matthew Harris and serves dinner made with locally sourced ingredients from the surrounding land and sea. The wine list features a selection of English wines exclusive to the region, including options from award-winning local wineries. Guests receive complimentary afternoon tea with cake at 4pm and a glass of English wine at 5pm each day.
Wellness & Activities
Complimentary yoga classes are offered daily and are open to all levels of ability, with no previous experience required. The hotel also provides bicycle rental, fishing access, and hiking routes directly from the property. After a day on the beach, guests can use the dog shower located by the garden to rinse off sandy pets.
Rooms & Grounds
Accommodations include Garden Rooms with direct access to the coastal garden and a small private terrace. The interior decor uses a beach house style with framed retro swimsuits on the walls and Bamford toiletries in each bathroom. The snug lounge area has board games, books, and a log fire for cooler evenings.
Pet-Friendly
The hotel welcomes pets with dedicated services including a bed, food and water bowls, and a jar of treats in the reception area. A dog shower is available near the garden for cleaning pets after beach walks. Pets are allowed in all public areas of the hotel except the restaurant during dinner service.

The hotel sits directly opposite Camber Sands beach, a 5-minute walk across the road and through the car park.
