Great position with sea views. Well appointed home.Nearest town Dover has supplies in local supermarket but some might bring provisions if wanting more.Suggest those with mobility issues might assess if suitable as stairs up to top floor are steepish without handrail.

We had a wonderful stay at Roaring Beach and couldn’t recommend it more highly. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming and genuinely pet friendly, which made all the difference for us. The property was clean, beautifully maintained, and truly felt like a home away from home.The location is unbeatable—right opposite a dog-friendly beach—making it perfect for relaxed walks and easy days by the water. The accommodation itself was very well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable and restful stay.It was an incredibly relaxing experience overall, but the absolute highlight was being able to see the aurora from the verandas—an unforgettable and magical moment that made our stay extra special.

A beautifully maintained house right on the beach

The house is perfect for couples or large groups, with a well stocked kitchen, heaps of toiletries, comfy lounge chairs and a huge dining table. The two patios offer relaxed dining or sipping wine, both with views. This is the first time we have taken our deaf cattle dog on holidays, and it was perfect for him (as advertised). The back yard was securely fenced, and we could run him up and down the beach and indulge his passion for swimming. At night the only noise was the waves... sublime. The hostess has thought of everything. Many thanks.

Worth planning for...

Roaring Beach Retreat is well named. Its a truly brilliant home beautifully appointed and comfortable in every way. The beach is stunning and if youre looking to getnaway from it all this is the place. I recommend doing a good food and wine shop and coming prepared ...Dover is only 10 minutes away and the IGA there is OK. The RSL also provides pub food but theres little else. Better to self cater kick back and enjoy the great vibe of Surveyors Bay. We spent 6 beautiful nights here and would absolutely recommend.

Beachside Beauty

Perfectly located across the quiet road from a fantastic white sand beach. It was a beautiful comfortable home with beachy decor. Very secure yard for our friends dog, who loved watching for rabbits. It was very well stocked and had everything we needed except a BBQ, but the kitchen works very well.Loved listening to the sound of the waves.Bug spray was essential in summer.
