"We had a wonderful time in Rye with this ideally located studio apartment. Superbly equipped with everything we needed to ensure a very pleasant stay. The steps to the apartment ( 2 staircases to negotiate plus the amazing staircase to the bedroom would challenge any one who struggles with stability). A quiet location disturbed only by birdsong. No complaints whatsoever about our stay."

"The cottage was very nice and clean and in a good location to explore Rye and the surrounding area. The cottage was small and could be improved with a couple of things. The kitchen table has a wobble, a tea towel and extra toilet roll would be nice. In the hot weather, we struggled to open a window, however a fan was provided which helped. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this accommodation."
