Behind the traditional timber-clad cottage exterior you'll find a modern home of stylish nautical-inspired decor and high-tech amenities. Just a short five-minute stroll from one of the UK’s best beaches, Call of the Owl is ideal for a family beach break. We can imagine a perfect day starting with having an espresso in the sunny courtyard. Then, perhaps, tucking into an alfresco breakfast before walking to the dunes of Camber Sands. On cloudier days, don't think twice and take the family to nearby Rye – picturesque and extremely Instagrammable, its cobbled streets, traditional pubs and charming tea rooms are all worth a visit.

There are few places in the UK that can claim to be well known for just one thing. But this little village near the medieval town of Rye wouldn’t have existed if it wasn’t for its big claim to fame. On a stretch of coast known for its pebbly shores, its mile upon mile of sandy beach really stands out from the crowd. With views towards atmospheric Dungeness at one...
