A comfortable house in a good central location. But this meant a lot of road and train noise. Offsetting this, a short walk into town centre and all amenities. And the on-site parking was very useful, but dont bring a large car!

This was a great cottage and so convenient for exploring Rye itself (which is a beautiful historic town). Would absolutely recommend the cottage to potential users. Description on website is very accurate. Beautifully clean on arrival, with small welcome package of essentials. Many thanks for a great 3 night stay.

A comfortable and surprisingly spacious cottage in a great location. A short walk into town and all its attractions and shops, and near the railway station. A handy location for visiting the local area. The cottage is well equipped with a good sized fridge and freezer. Considering its central location the Mews is very quiet. We visited at ChristmasRead more and the car park was empty, I wouldn't want to park a large car if the Mews was busy as it would be very tight. The wi-fi was very good. We had a nice welcoming pack with milk, eggs, bread and biscuits - a nice touch. A minor grouse is that the pillows are lumpy and the bath towels a bit skimpy. Overall we had a great stay. Hide

A lovely holiday home, well-appointed and homely. It was a great place for our week's stay, enjoying spending time in the property and around Rye and the area. Coming from a similar property, the two of us were very pleased to be in a place that was more modern (compared to the characterful but old/low/less insulated/expensive cottages around). HadRead more everything we needed and found the beds comfortable. There is a bit of road noise but not disturbing (will depend very much on what you are used to). We heard no other noise from people/neighbours. It is located on the edge of the town centre (which we appreciated) so a slight walk into the very centre but only a slight one - Rye is small! Being in a private cul-de-sac means there is no tourist footfall past your windows which there is in other places in the centre. A parking space right outside is highly valuable. Needs a bit of minor maintenance TLC but not an issue. We highly recommend it and we would definitely stay again. Thanks. Hide

This is our 3rd visit to the Forge Mews cottage. The cottage is spacious and comfortable. The welcome package is much appreciated too. The cottage is very placed in Rye and having a designated parking bay is such a bonus. The town of Rye and surrounding areas are such a delight to visit. We would highly recommend the following pubs for lunch - The Read moreRed Lion at Brede and The Two Sawyers at Pett Level. Also a walk to Rye Harbour and the Discovery centre is a must.

Lovely house in a very good location in Rye. Secure parking was a bonus, and the house was welcoming and clean and the welcome pack was a nice surprise. The twin bedroom was a good size, the proximity to the family bathroom was excellent but the beds need to be replaced if let for adult occupancy.

This was our 4th stay in 1 Forge Mews Cottage ( we first came in 2014) and it won't be our last). The house is beautifully clean and cosy with everything we needed. This time we stayed as a couple but we have stayed as a foursome in the past and there is plenty of space. The Welcome pack was much appreciated. The place is very well appointed. ThereRead more is a full fridge/freezer, a microwave, nice dual fuel cooker, a dishwasher and washing machine. The location is perfect and the dedicated parking space is so useful in Rye. We used the buses and walked everywhere in Rye- a beautiful town with much history and excellent pubs ( the Waterworks is a gem) and restaurants. We thoroughly recommend Number 1 and Original Cottages looked after us very efficiently Hide

The location is lovely, close to the river and to the intriguing town of Rye. The mews gates mean the cottage is very quiet and private, including the dedicated parking place, yet still very central to the town itself.
