A lovely upside cottage in a perfect, quiet location with easy access to Rye which has an abundance of good places to eat and drink. The cottage was very well equipped and the owners had thought of everything. It is beautifully furnished, comfortable and we felt quite at home. Fabulous break, would definitely come back.

We have stayed in Rye a few times so knew the location of this cottage would be perfect for us; it's just on the edge of the town centre so restaurants,cafes and shops are just a few minutes walk. Having a good sized car parking space in front of the house was a bonus and we could just jump in the car for a 5 minute drive to the harbour ; perfect fRead moreor long dog walks and amazing coffee/cake at the visitor centre. Playing fields are also only a 5 minute walk away. The house itself is stylish, surprisingly spacious very comfortable and well equipped; the owners have really tried to think of everything and to offer guests a luxury stay from a coffee machine with pods, welcome hamper and excellent showers and beds. The upside down configuration of the house works really well as the living area is light and airy with a lovely view across the river. The house does have a few steps between kitchen and lounge and a fairly steep staircase ( typical of a terrace cottage) but it was not a problem for us. This is a gem of a property and we look forward to returning. Hide

Trips to nearby Hastings, historic Battle and Camber Beach are also recommended. We hope to return to Rye and would definitely stay at the cottage again. Fabulous weekend break. Hide

This cottage is very well equipped and in a good quiet location. The owners are helpful. Our estate car fitted in the space. The layout is exactly as described, but may not suit all groups of visitors. The shower room on the bedroom (ground) floor is en suite, and the other shower room is on the upstairs floor, directly off the kitchen.
