There is no beach house closer to both the sea and the dramatic back drop that is the power station on Dungeness beach than Sunray. This unassuming white cottage has a secret to tell on the inside. Jaw dropping urban / retro vintage styling has been weaved around a magnificent original railway carriage that to first impression appears to be passing through the middle of the building from the lounge into the master bedroom - almost as though you are looking in to a moment caught in time. A really fascinating architectural design to behold!
This gorgeous holiday home is one of the more family friendly homes on the beach at Dungeness, offering a great amount of space across three bedrooms, comfortable plump beds, bunks in the family room, pool table in the lounge and the quirky and robust styling that makes for a special stay all year around.

Situated on the Dungeness Estate which is home to an unusual landscape. The headland on the south coast of Kent is formed largely of a shingle beach. The Dungeness reserve itself is set back from the sea, boasting mile after mile of open shingle, fresh water pits, wet grassland and stunning wildflower meadows. Dungeness is one of the best places for wildlife in the UK and designated as a Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Natura 2000 site with plenty of walks to enjoy.
For train lovers amongst you, pick up the miniature steam trains that run from Hythe, New Romney and Dymchurch and stop off at Dungeness and climb the stairs to the top of the Lighthouse for a stunning 360 degree view of the area.
Gardeners may be aware that Derek Jarman’s House and garden is located at Dungeness and you are free to walk around and enjoy his planting and sculptures.
