About El Ray
This gorgeous holiday home has an open plan living space with central wood burner and looks out onto a south facing sunny deck, which is built to provide shelter from the winds. The 180 degree views from the deck are spectacular across this unique shingle spit dubbed as Britain's only desert - the perfect location for a romantic holiday getaway. The two bedrooms look onto two internal courtyards which provide lovely sheltered sun traps.
The Dungeness Nature Reserve is a magical place to visit all year round. A recognised Site of Special Scientific Interest, it is an area of shingle beach, saltmarsh & sand dunes. The unique landscape is a nature lover's paradise, perfect for walking and popular with photographers worldwide.

Service rating : Another outstanding short stay with Mulberry Cottages. El Ray is architecturally stunning and the owner has put a lot of thought into ensuring guests are immediately at home - even a bottle of fizz in the fridge. Excellent holiday - will definitely return and would certainly recommend Mulberry Cottages to anyone.

Service rating : The booking was very easy and the photos of the property were very helpful. However our arrival was chaotic. There was a problem with the door lock at the property and the cleaner and builder were still at the property when we arrived. Mulberry phoned us to see when we were arriving but didn't explain there was a problem....we would have liked to have been told so that we could have arrived after the problem had been had been fixed.
Product : El Ray was in a fantastic location and beautifully designed...we loved it. A few things to improve.....not enough cutlery,mugs or water/beer glasses for 4 adults if you are going to use the dishwasher. For letting in Autumn/Winter a proper supply of wood and firelighters is needed for the wood burner as this is the only source of heat and some hooks in the hall to hang up damp coats etc would help. A reading light needed in the sitting room too.
Service rating : Excellent ..
Product : Fantastic. top quallity .will use again
