Why we’d go

A Rye cottage base near the bay with pet-welcoming rules and a log fire in Sandpiper.

Blue Moon Cottages offers named self-catering cottages near Rye bay beach. The Sandpiper has a log fire, a kitchen and a fully fenced courtyard; other cottages have different layouts. Select the exact cottage before comparing capacity and features.

The operator FAQ says all Blue Moon cottages accept pets and have secure outdoor areas. Choose the exact cottage and confirm that its layout and current pet terms suit your dog before booking.

This is a beach base that can work in cooler weather, particularly if the log fire matters to your trip. Check availability and minimum stays on the operator site.
