Excellent cosy warm cottage

Situated in an excellent location with lots to do around you. Cottage was warm and cosy and everything you could possibly need was there, the welcome hamper was great and thankfully we didn’t need to find a shop for the essentials as it was all there. quick response from the owners when needed, would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Great cottage, great location

This is a lovely cottage that has been renovated to a high standard. Most of the accommodation is upstairs with a good sized lounge, lovely and well stocked kitchen and a sizeable primary en-suite. Down stairs next to the entrance door is the 2nd bedroom with an en-suite. It had everything you needed for a stay. 2 minor grips - the downstairs was a little musty-smelling but this is an old cottage and upstairs had loads of windows and was lovely; and the church chimes kept me awake :) The location is brilliant and we would definitely return

Charmer in Rye

Great location - walkable to everything in town but tucked away in a quiet corner. Parking was manageable and the rental was clean with modern kitchen and baths although the downstairs en suite was tiny.
