Seaview, Dungeness, Kent


Seaview is located right on the beach at Dungeness in Kent, with – you’ve guessed it! - incredible sea views.

Reminiscent of a 1930's chic, white, weather-boarded cottage, this is the ideal location for bracing winter walks along the beach, in search of the catch of the day.

Tastefully decorated, its many windows make the most of the unique light and the incredible views that Dungeness has become so famous for. Add in a warming log burning stove and you have the perfect family escape for Christmas.

A particular feature of this self-catering holiday cottage in Kent is the second bedroom located in the converted net loft, which runs the entire length of the property and offers two lucky children or playful adults the loveliest of sleeping quarters. In days gone by, after a long day trawling, the fisherman would drag his nets up here for safe keeping.

Sleeping four in two bedrooms, Seaview costs £820 for 7 nights from 21st December 2015.
