"We had been looking for last minute accommodation for kitesurfing training at Camber Sands beach. We booked for 3 nights and all was very smooth. The host was very responsive and the checkin process was very easy. The beds with linen were made up when we arrived, which was a massive positive!! Minor issue with the hot water, but fixed incredibly swiftly. The accommodation is close to the beach. All in all very good stay and we would come back."
