Not as romantic as it seems

The pictures show a lovely house on an isolated location, very close to the beach. In real this part cannot be used for swimming. The house is located next to a military area, fences everywhere. The kitchen was not clean, every handle was sticky as well as the counter and the table. So far the downsides: the Upsides: the interior is very cosy, the double bed is very comfortable and there is a good shower.

Nice cottage

Nice cottage, lovely inside and well equipped. Shame about the area surrounding the cottage, building works on the beach front walk. Good direct access to the beach but the tides mean they are only accessible early morning and late afternoon.

Great location, warm and welcoming house, we will be back!

We loved the location. A very short walk to the beach, no roads to cross. Perfect with a young or older member of our family. It was very quiet, felt like we had our own private beach. We cycled into the main part of Camber beach for eating out, and was able to enjoy the best of both worlds. The house was well stocked, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. With amazing views from each window. Our dog was very relaxed in the garden, and he loved being off lead on the beach. We will definitely return soon.

Delightful cottage in a great location

Well looked after and fitted out and very comfortable and clean. Clear instructions with no problems. Appreciated the little touches like fresh milk in the fridge and handmade cake and biscuits on the kitchen table. Found the Derek Jarman's Garden book in the bookshelf and went to visit it. If you want a few days to explore the unique environment that is Dungeness and its surrounds, you won't fine a better base to do it from. Had a great time..

Lovely house, a few disappointments at the price

A fabulous situation and a well equipped house. Attractively decorated, great bathroom. But some disappointments. Heating not on when we arrived late Friday, so the first evening we were miserably cold as house slowly warmed up. No wood for the wood burner - though note said there would be some. Lovely bed and bedroom, but in cold house with no hot water bottle or electric blanket, it was perishing. Thermostat must be set at an eco regulated temperature: so bath water borderline tepid. No welcome pack at all - we had brought our own coffee, wine and milk, but next day wanted a cup of tea and not a tea bag to be found. No ordnance survey map - except on wall. Maybe people take them? But so useful. Sadly, major sea wall works and army actively shooting on the range blighted coastal walk to Dungeness and view towards sea from house. None of this too important - but it's not a cheap cottage, so I think we expected a bit more.

Fabulous Cosy Cottage and Wonderful Beach

We recently enjoyed a great week's stay at Lantern Coastguard's Cottage in Jury's Gap. The cottage itself is gorgeous - really comfortable beds, cosy wood-burning stove, lovely shower/bath and very well-equipped kitchen, etc. There is everything you are likely to need, including TV, DVD, XBox and board games if the weather turns bad. But in fact, the beach (just a few metres away from the cottage) is wonderful whatever the weather and we enjoyed many hours in our wellies there, even in February. Communication with the owner is great and the whole booking/arrival process stress-free. Thank you for a relaxing week (but don't tell everyone!)
