Coastguard Lookout is an old building and though built to the Coastguard Agency Standards, it sits in a very extreme and exposed position on the beach, which is one of its virtues, but also exposes it in storms to water ingress no matter what construction details are used. Both doors on the North East elevation utilise a storm section profile and water bars at ground level but in extreme north easterly storms water can penetrate these precautions.

Anyone who is found to hold such an event without permission or the relevant licences will be charged retrospectively.

Summary: We struggled to get in the front door for about 5 minutes as it was quite stiff, but once inside there was definitely wow factor. The views are nothing but stunning from all floors, especially out on the 2 balconies. It's surprising how high you are when on the top floor, you can see for miles! Lots of stairs to keep you fit, I joked that it needed a lift! There were a few things that we weren't so keen on, namely the bench seat in the kitchen or the fixed settee in the lounge, which we found hard and uncomfortable and maybe a proper TV instead of an iMac? The bedroom and open bathroom is very strange with just a curtain for privacy and no blind by the toilet window! But that didn't deter from the pleasure of being there. Many thanks to the owner for allowing us to bring our elderly rabbit! A lovely property. We would come again.

Summary: Is exactly as billed. A stunning location. Always something to watch out of the windows and on the outside decks. I think if there had been a worktop and chairs in the top room (with a foldaway bed) we would have spent most of our time reading and gazing out of the windows - it was a bit chilly to be outside for a long period. Luckily we had taken our thermos flask so had warm drinks up there. We had a wonderful time - thank you. Beverley wanted a seaside location - this could not have been bettered.

Summary: I’ve never stayed in such an incredible location. Waking up and going to sleep literally yards from the sea’s breaking waves is such an amazing experience. Our visit was in January and so the log fire was a very welcome and much used feature. Would love to come back in the summer.

Summary: Great location, but not private as passers-by will peer in the door on a regular basis. The 'private' road was also not very private at all. Had a break of 2 halves. Sun first, then storm and wind. Got very noisy when windy and had trouble sleeping. Decor seems a bit tired. Needs comfy seating and bedroom could benfit from a shower to take it to the next level as curtain and shower over bath doesn't work well. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay and the view of boats coming and going all day. Great to visit the train and The Pilot pub does huge sandwiches.

Summary: We stayed here for two nights. The location is off the scale fantastic. The lookout would have been brilliant when it was first done up but over time it’s got a bit tired and really needs a refresh. It has some very good quality fixtures and fittings but they haven’t really been cared for. Bathroom arrangement with a curtain separating the loo from the bedroom is really odd and just doesn’t work very well. A sliding door would do the job much better. Take some insect spray unless you like earwigs. It’s a very expensive night or two away but the location is everything. Would have liked some shampoo/ conditioner, some paper kitchen towels and a nespresso type coffee machine included in the really hefty price! I would recommend that the owners stay there for a night or two to see how it functions for themselves.

Summary: This was a magical stay from the very point of arrival to departure. Even though there was so much to discover across Dungerness, temptation was to stay and enjoy this unique building. Beautifully converted (simply a beautiful piece of architecture) from a working coastguard lookout to a comfortable home from home. The views are to die for, but the experience of being so close to the sea, and separate from everything else is what made the stay that bit more special. It allows you to connect to the landscape and nature in a way we hadn't experienced anywhere else in the UK.

Summary: A superb location right on the beach at Dungeness. The views from the Coastguard's Lookout are spectacular and even the power station has a weird kind of beauty at sunset. The Lookout itself is eyewateringly expensive. I booked it as a mini-break treat for the start of the school holidays, but two nights of dealing with no door on the toilet was more than enough! The kitchen is very high spec and architect designed, but it took me half an hour to work out the hob! When I finally resorted to the house bible, I was told it was all self-explanatory. Sadly, at 6.30 in the morning desperate for coffee, I definitely need clear instructions! Other minor irritations were a bath tap that wouldn't provide cold - only scaldingly hot - water, just the one mirror (in the bathroom) so no plug nearby for the hairdryer, the hugely annoying hob and my teenage son was annoyed by the presence of an imac rather than a telly as he couldn't get Netflix to work (but I considered that a plus!). All that said, we will definitely be going back to Dungeness - just to somewhere a bit more user friendly and less expensive!

Summary: The Lookout Tower is right on the beach with uninterrupted views. It is set over 4 floors with 46 metal steps to the top bedroom and balcony. Unfortunately the property needs updating as the blinds in the bedroom were broken, there was no blind at the window above the sink in the toilet/bathroom which was in the bedroom with just a curtain and no door. One end of the bath can be seen from the person in bed unless you drag the heavy curtain round which then gets wet when you use the handheld hose which is supposed to be the shower. It's not well thought out. There are the bases of old smoke alarms still on the ceiling and plaster has fallen off in several places. The toaster tripped the electrics and we spent ages trying to find the fuse box. To top it off we had to carry our rubbish bags along the lane up to some wheelie bins.For the cost of the property for less than 48 hours it was way overpriced. Such a shame as it could be stunning with a bit of TLC. Would recommend only if property is updated as it was such a great location.

Summary: This is a house like no other. I can't think of anywhere else where you could stay so close to the sea and in such a remote location. The house has been converted to a high standard. We were a family of 4 and so although fairly impractical for us (we knew this before coming), we had a great time and would recommend.

Summary: Really stylish interior. Amazing location 100m from sea, Here you really experience the elements. Would definitely come back.
