Summary: This is a second time returning to the property after really enjoying our previous stay. The property located a short walk from the seafront and we loved to go out and walk along the beach with the family but also be in close proximity to the house as we have elderly parents and a young child so they can head in when they get cold/tired. Generally the stay was fine however this time round the glass doors that face the beach would get stuck or were extremely stiff. Neither my parents or my 7 year old could open the door to the beach and I really struggled as a relatively strong guy. I managed to do it a couple of times but I had to push against the wall just to open it slightly to squeeze through. There was a note to say it just needed a good tug but this was a bit of an understatement. Having to try and open and close the door each time anyone wanted to go out was a real pain. At one point I had to pop to the shops and there was no one else able to open the door. We ended up having to go out via the front and walk around the house each time which was very annoying given this was a major feature of the property. It would have been good if we were told or given a heads up before checking in as we may have selected a different property. It’s worth noting that main part of the house has no heating apart from the stove and the supply logs for the fire is limited so you are expected to buy your own firewood if you run out other wise the room can get cold. I would have expected this to be provided given this is the main source of heating. Apart from this I can’t really fault anything else with the stay.

Summary: Great communication. Well stocked for a holiday rental including heaters etc, as we were there in winter. Great to have a DVD player, with a small selection but you can bring your own. Good directions and communication etc and guides on things to do. Beautiful design and great location for a windswept stay!

Summary: I know Dungeness well and have stayed at other rental properties in the area. However, El Ray is by far the best, being closer to the sea. With the Panoramic window which has an uninterrupted view out to sea. I can highly recommend this rental property.

Summary: We love Dungeness and El Ray is a wonderful house to enjoy this corner of the UK. The view of the beach is beautiful and the house warm and cosy. We did have a problem with being able to open the big picture window/door but Sophie and the El Ray did their best to fix it while we were there which was partially successful - we could just about manage to open/close it with 2 of us. I know they were making plans for a permanent fix and we hope to return next year to fully enjoy the inside/outside aspect of the house.

Summary: Having visited Dungeness for a number of years we've always wanted to stay at one of the architecturally unique places on the estate. El Ray was perfect for us. A simple but immaculately furnished house a stone's throw from the beach. With two double rooms we had ample space for my partner and I, and our baby son. Everything was spotlessly clean and all amenities were provided, including dishwasher tablets, salt, pepper, etc. Moments away from the old lighthouse and a short walk to the fish hut it couldn't be in a better, more peaceful location. We'd definitely return.

Summary: A most unusual experience and setting. The house is like being on a desert island , so quiet and close to the sea, it is very comfortable and has everything you need in the kitchen with added tea, coffee and an ice maker. We would definitely return,

Summary: El Ray is in a fabulous sea facing position with the lighthouse and power station providing contrasting views from the rear. The house is contemporary with wood on the walls, floors and ceilings creating a calming environment. It’s very clean and easy to live in and the railway carriage places history at its heart. The huge glass doors are a feature. Only one is working at the moment and it will be good when the problem with the other two has been resolved. We were interested to stay in a property designed by the architect who designed our own home and make comparisons! El Ray did not disappoint - we wished we were staying longer.

Summary: Dungeness is probably a bit like marmite; you either love it or loathe it. And we LOVE it. El Ray offers a perfect opportunity to 'get away from it all', relax and enjoy the ever-changing light and seascape from the warmth and comfort of an imaginatively designed, wonderfully uncluttered and extremely comfortable wooden building built around an old railway carriage. It is simply enchanting.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at El Ray despite the high winds, spring tides and weather warnings! The house is amazing in it's design and location and the outlook is stunning, but a few things let it down. The bed was really uncomfortable and left me with back ache, the bed linen was clean, but not high end as you might expect for the price of the rental. The lighting in the hall and the bedrooms is low level which means you can't really see what you are doing if you have shoes to put on and bags to unpack. The bathroom need a bit of attention, with a drippy shower and not hygienic with a wooden slatted floor in the shower and wooden walls. There is black mould here and there. The kitchen was lovely and had everything that we needed except a microwave, which would have been useful, though not essential. There was also a bottle of wine and some doritos for us which was a nice touch. The living room was spacious enough for two of us, though the seating was not that comfortable and could do with replacements. The doors to the deck still have not been fixed despite this obviously being an issue for a year or more. We were informed of this, and as it was April we didn't feel that it would be a problem. It still would have been more convenient however to have them fixed. There was also no visitors book to sign. Despite my comments, we still enjoyed our time here and this is a truly lovely place to stay, but please take on board the comments here and from others in the past to make it a wonderful experience in the future.
