Combine this lovely beach location with a wonderfully cosy wood burner and you can see the cottage is well worth a visit whatever the time of year!

Helvetia was in a perfect location to enjoy all that we came to Dungeness to enjoy. Buying fish from Kelly's Fish Hut to cook in the evening, treating ourselves to Snack Shack lunches, coffee at Ness Cafe & the RH&D Railway. Walks to the sea for bird watching, spotting seals & porpoises.A very comfortable cottage with everything you might need. We certainly hope to be back.
