El Ray is pet-friendly, welcoming up to two dogs. However, guests are advised to keep their pets on a lead due to the lack of boundaries around the property. The owner requests that dogs have their nails clipped prior to arrival to maintain the high-quality finishings of the home. For families, a travel cot is available, and parents are reminded to supervise children closely due to the property’s direct access to the sea.
Situated near the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, El Ray offers a unique blend of coastal charm and local attractions. Nearby landmarks such as the Crypt of St. Leonard and Dymchurch Martello Tower add historical interest, while local activities include bowling and swimming at AMF Bowling Ashford and Hythe Pool. For those interested in events or sports, Folkestone Racecourse and BuildKent Stadium are also within reach. Guests should be aware of specific house rules regarding security deposits and additional fees for photo shoots or film productions, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay.
