We booked the beachcomber house at the last minute to go away from London after being disappointed by the changes of rules which didn't allow our families to come over from France. We couldn't fault our stay in the small village of Camber. The flat was well furnished with super comfy bedding, fully equipped kitchen. The weather wasn't great but the kids had plenty to play and spend some good time. As we are foodies we enjoyed all the recommendations to the local shop, farm market and others fisheries. We started 2022 with. Sunny walk on the beach which is litteraly 5 min. Away from the flat

We booked last minute and still received all the necessary information in plenty of time. The accommodation was ideal for the two of us, for our two night break. The house was very well furnished and had everything we needed. The welcome pack was a nice touch. We would certainly look to book again if we were going back to this part of Sussex.

We had a lovely time at Little Dippers. All the extras are provided, that you often have to take to a vacation rental. The whole place was bright and airy and very clean. The views are amazing and it was very quiet. Perfect location.
