Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 10 - Pevensey Bay, East Sussex

For days at the beach from dusk till dawn, look no further than this fabulous five-bedroom seaside cottage, perfect for large family gatherings or special occasions. Steps away from the shingle beach of Pevensey Bay, spend your days splashing in the surf or collecting shells and pebbles as you wander along the beach. Stroll to one of the welcoming pubs and restaurants for a hearty meal of locally sourced produce or head to nearby Hastings or Eastbourne for a wide choice of eateries.

Charter a boat for a sail around Eastbourne Harbour or why not book a family fishing trip and ensure that the catch of the day is on the evening menu? Your spacious beachfront holiday home has bags of room for all the family to enjoy from the moment you step into the welcoming entrance with original Edwardian tile flooring. Two lounge areas separated by folding doors offer flexible space: white-washed floors and a warming wood burner make the first lounge a cosy space for relaxing and chatting about your day's adventures; there's plenty of games to choose from in the second lounge to sit and have competitive family fun.

For the nights when you want to be together, open the dividing doors and the lounges become one unified space, perfect for socialising. The contemporary kitchen features a large central island where guests can sit and keep the chosen chef company as they prepare the family meal to enjoy in the stylish dining area. Stay on top of the laundry with the well-equipped utility room off the kitchen, where you will also find a handy washroom perfect for freshening up before your meal.

When it's time for sleep, head upstairs to one of five comfortably appointed bedrooms, most boasting spectacular sea views and homely touches. A family bathroom and separate shower room are on the first floor. Kids of all ages will love relaxing in the private beach garden, dotted with wildflowers, where you can sit, read your book and listen to the sound of the sea, only steps away.

For al fresco meals, the suntrap decked area has seating for the whole family to gather together in the evening sun.
