    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.

Unique venue

We had a wonderful stay in this most unusual accomodation. Loved the views and being directly on the beach. Cannot fault cleanliness and comfort and communication. I would advise to really understand the bathroom situation as it is a little unusual but we enjoyed it all.

Perfect location

What a fantastic house in an ideal location - right on the beach with fantastic views. The house is compact with all all high end necessities. The bathroom arrangement wouldn’t be to everyone’s liking but we coped. Dungeness railway is a 5 mins stroll away and the train ride is a must. Also highly recommend the Pilot pub.

Magical location

If you want somewhere truly different, this is it. Dungeness estate is a magical location which has to be experienced to be believed. The lookout is a fantastic place to stay and although not cheap, you are paying for something very different. If being picky, the building needs a little love here and there, a better shower set-up and raising the master bed a few feet would create an awesome view. Oh and a telescope would be amazing!! Will definitely be booking again.

Fantastic get away!

Such an awesome place to stay and get away to. Fabulous change of scene after the monotony of lockdown. The tower was very well equipped and comfortable. So wonderful to step out right onto the beach and we loved looking out at the view from the different levels. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again

Incredible location

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.

Big skies & peace away from it all

A return visit for 4 nights - a uniquely special place to stay. A testament to the endurance of great design (both when built and converted), the uncluttered spaces and functional, high-quality equipment have created a relaxing place to escape and restore. Perfect for creatives and lovers of big skies and nature. The silence and spectacle of the sea and sky are so inspiring and this place delivers direct access to both, even when indoors. Bloom Stays are very efficient and the quality of cleaning was high. The owner Fiona is equally helpful and responsive, much appreciated and we feel so fortunate to be able to share a piece of her creative personal vision. I understand that she has brought to life several other unique utility places on Dungeness, what an amazing talent. We hope to visit each of them in turn, but having spent even 8 nights here in one year, we feel a very close bond with the Coastguard Lookout which will be very hard to beat. Thank you.

Location, Location, Location

A sensational location and 270 degree views, as close to the sea as you can get without being in it. It is astonishing that a workable living space has been created out of such an oddly-shaped building. It is comfortable and well-equipped and the only sounds to be heard are natural ones, although there was maybe a little bit too much wind to be heard when we were there. Some aspects of the design won't work for everyone. For example, having one room on each of four floors means a lot of tramping up and down stairs unless you are very well organised. And despite the curtains, some people may be uncomfortable with the only bathroom/toilet being in one of the bedrooms. The environment is quite alien and harsh, and we wouldn't be tough enough to live there full time. The fish and chips at the Pilot, the Snack Shack or the Britannia are not to be missed.

A fantastic stay in an extraordinary building in a quite unique location

The Coastguard Lookout is quite simply unique. It is a little quirky, but that adds to its charm. It is situated right on the beach with views in all directions. The interior design is highly imaginative and makes full use of all the space. Do study the layout plan as the bedroom/wc layout would suit a family but probably not two couples. It is a wonderful space to stay.

Unique Stay

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.

4 Nights on the Ness

Magnificent building and location, industrial, minimalist, clean and beautiful presented. A unique escape from life for a few rare days in Feb. Best thing was snuggling up in the top bedroom listening to the wind and the crashing waves. Only issue for us was that the mattresses defo needed updating as bit lumpy and saggy on our slightly older backs! Other than this, fab fab fab

An incredible experience

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.

Location great, comfort not so great.

Location is great as is character of building. Kitchen has all you need in terms of crockery, pans, knives etc. No comfortable chairs inside or outside, which is a real oversight. Really should have a safety mat in bath/shower, ideally a towel rail to hold on to and to have towel to hand - it is hard to get in and out of and dangerous in that you can easily slip and fall, whatever your mobility, age, height etc.

coast guard lookout

We stayed with another couple. Toilet was a problem because of no door on toilet and bathroom. which was open plan to bedroom. The rest of our stay was so amazing the location is second to none. the whole ambience of the coast guard lookout is fantastic. you can almost feel the history of the place and what it once was. wlll come back one day because once is not enough.

Unique building in a stunning location

I had a wonderful weekend with my children at the Coastguard Lookout. We were all in complete awe of the location - right on the beach with a huge and unobstructed vista. We had a mixed bag of weather but it works come rain or shine! Either you are out enjoying the amazing Dungeness scenery, or you are cozy and secure in the tower watching the drama unfold all round you. The building has so many quirks that all add to its charm. It was an amazing experience that we will all talk about for years to come.

Wonderful stay.

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.

UNIQUE AREA BUILDING.VERY WINDY WHEN I AS THERE WHICH HIGH LIGHTED SOME WINDOW FRAMES GETTING PAST THEIR BEST,ALSO,BEING VERY WARM & SUNNY,SOME BLINDS OR CURTAINS ON THE VERY LARGE (BUT ALSO VERY WELCOME) GROUND FLOOR KITCHEN/DINING AREA SECOND FLOOR SITTING ROOM WOULD HAVE CUT DOWN ON HEAT BUILD UP BEING BLINDED BY THE SUN (RARE SITUATION IN THIS COUNTRY ADMITTEDLY) BUT WHAT A LOVELY ROOM VIEWS!! (I FOUND OPENING THE DOOR ONTO THE FIRST BALCONY HELPED THE HEAT BUILD UP.) LOTS OF CUPBOARD DRAWER SPACE IN KITCHEN WHERE SOME PEOPLE MIGHT IT DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER WHERE THE VERY GOOD SELECTION OF KITCHEN WARE IS PLACED IF NOT STAYING THERE FOR LONG.A BLIND ON THE TOILET WINDOW WOULD ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA.TOILET/BATH LOCATION MAY NOT SUIT EVERY BODY. I WOULD RECOMMEND READING THE BOOK "DUNGENESS COASTAL ARCHITECTURE" WHICH TELLS THE STORY OF HOW THIS (TO ME) SPECIAL ACCOMMODATION CAME ABOUT. NO TV BUT HAD AN iMAC WHICH WASN'T MUCH USE FOR ME AS I COULDN'T EVEN FIND A WAY TO SWITCH IT ON! (PROBABLY AN AGE THING).I WANTED SOMEWHERE TO SPEND A "SIGNIFICANT" BIRTHDAY & THE COASTGUARD WATCH TOWER DIDN'T DISAPPOINT - I COULD VERY EASILY HAVE SPENT AN EXTRA NIGHT THERE,THE ONLY PROBLEM FOR ME WAS THE (AGAIN FOR ME) COST OF THE ACCOMMODATION BUT HAVING SAID THAT,FOR THIS SPECIAL OCCASION (& THE SEA VIEWS WHICH ARE TO DIE FOR) I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED.THE BRITTANIA INN ROMNEY,HYTHE & DYMCHURCH RAILWAY STN ARE BOTH VERY CLOSE BY.

QUIRKY

If you like to stay in places that are completely unique or quirky this is one of those places. On the beach ( the UK,s only designated desert ) exposed to the elements that the English weather can create, from stormy seas, beautiful sunrises and on our last evening there a low in the sky full moon with France in the background. The only negatives with this property for us were the uncomfortable beds and the chairs in the living area on the second floor. The bathroom area ( I know it’s difficult in such buildings ) but a sliding door instead of the heavy curtain (not very hygienic) for the toilet would be better. The general appearance is looking a bit tired inside and the sealant around the bath needs changing. Do not let this review put you off if you like staying in unusual, in a nice way, places, we had a great week there.

Atmospheric stay

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.

Good place in a beautiful location

This is an unusual 'house' - the conversion has been done well in limited space (though the bathroom could have been better thought through!). All the furniture and fittings are right for the style and space, don't clutter the rooms, and are clean. All the equipment is there in the kitchen, and really nice crockery and cutlery. The best feature is the massive windows on the ground and top two floors - wonderful views on all sides, and keep the wind out! We had excellent customer service from the owner over a small problem, which was promptly and pleasantly dealt with. The only, minor, downside was that some of the cushions and the mattress are getting a bit flat from use, making them less comfortable for larger people like ourselves. We also thought it would be easy to install an internet TV rather than use a computer (which we were not familiar with) - that said, we only used it once! All in all, a lovely place, with beautiful views, nice walks, and very relaxing. We really enjoyed it

No place like it!

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.

Fabulous location

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.

Coastguard Lookout, Dungeness

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!
