The apartments:
The apartments sit on a private quayside with a southerly outlook to Romney Marsh.
Rye's cobbled streets are barely 5 minutes walk. Winchelsea, Battle, Bodium, Canterbury, the Channel Tunnel and the Kent countryside are within easy reach.
The golf links at Camber are well known and the adjacent Sands are glorious. Other activities include sailing, windsurfing, fishing and walking, with a nature reserve at Rye Harbour. Cycling is an excellent way of exploring Romney marsh, using the tangle of narrow lanes, where you can discover Norman churches and 15th Century smugglers pubs.
“This precious stone set in the silver sea,
This beloved plot, this earth, this realm,
This England …..”
Shakespeare, Richard II
We spent two fantastic weeks here.
This flat is cosy, comfortable and an ideal place to explore some beautiful gardens and National Trust properties from.
We’ll recommend it to all our friends

The local area:
We've really enjoyed this holiday. To see a river instead of a road, a boat instead of a car is one of the best things about it. We watched a heron on the far bank last night and a fox on this side tonight. Rye is lovely, plenty of choice for eating out. The old streets and houses take you back in time. The accommodation is first class, very clean and comfortable.

Another relaxing visit. Wonders of our trip; Snow, Snow & more snow!! & Barn Owl!!
Egrets, Heron, Hundreds of Lapwings, all from the window.
Maureen & David Whittle W/Sx 4 – 3 – 05
Hit the jackpot for weather, nearly 100% sunshine all week. Apartment comfy & clean & no problems. Balcony a great asset in this lovely weather.
Do hire the headphones from the Tourist office on the Strand, it makes a walk around Rye very interesting. Rye Harbour good for watching boats come in & out when the tide is in (it mostly seems to be out!!) Copper Kettle not good value.
Local activities:
Glorious weather, comfortable accommodation – overall an excellent week. Don’t leave Rye without visiting the Rye Treasury of Mechanical Music, church tower is worth a visit for the view. The Story of Rye in the Heritage Centre also very good. The Union Inn East St has a varied menu at reasonable prices and good sized portions. If you enjoy watching birds Pett Level has been very good this week.
Joyce & Brian Stannard Ipswich, Suffolk 4/9/99 – 11/9/99
Flat very warm, cosy and comfy.
Rye delightful & good bird-watching from Rye Harbour & Winchelsea Beach. A relaxing holiday with fine blend of heritage and nature. We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity so much that this is the only time we have ever wanted to return to a holiday destination!!
David & Ann Scrivens (Hertfordshire) 5-11-99
Thanks to Mrs B... for the tea tray. A restful stay with some glorious weather. Birdwatching at Dungeness & Rye Harbour + a tawny owl and little egret from the window! Ate out at Landgate Bi
Ski:
Lovely apartment + to be able to wash clothes + cook own food when travelling was great. Rye is great + thoroughly enjoyed Canterbury Cathedral. Will recommend to others from Oz.
Kathy & Tim Steadman, Melbourne Australia 7.5.05
We were both in need of a break and we could not have picked a nicer town in Rye. After the pace of London we found a little piece of England that is still England.
Mrs B could not have been more helpful in replacing the C/D player for us, it’s the kindness that makes all the difference. The apartment was clean & very peaceful just suited us fine.
Rye has so much to discover. We suggest you just explore & enjoy.
Rosalinda & Colin, Barnet Herts 10th to 24 Sept
Enjoyed our stay in peaceful surroundings,
Lovely watching the tide boats and various birds.
Very clean, cosy flat and welcome from Mrs B.
Visited Rye many years ago and still enjoyed its history and quaintness.
First few days the weather was beautiful, next few days very good for Oct.
Golf:
Another good rest from the rat race.
We have seen 23 species of birds from this window and enjoyed Rye Harbour & Dungeness. Lovely tea & cakes in Cobblers.
Hope to come again!! Rye Treasury good value when too wet for walking we really enjoyed it!!
David & Maureen Whittle Sussex 14-21st April
We enjoyed a good rummage in Hastings’ antique bookshops – and bought a super chest of drawers! We visited Bodiam, enjoyed a trip across the channel and Winchelsea but most of all we loved Rye. An exceptional holiday flat. Thank you
David & Anne Slaughter Winchester 30th Sept – 7th OCT
If you’re into architecture
Rye of course & also (a fair distance!) Faversham – with its splendid church – explore well.
Birdlife Rye Harbour Hides
Food Not sure about those in Rye due to budget – but if you enjoy really fresh fish & chips – try the Mermaid at Old Town front Hastings.
Beer Adnams Broadside at the Ypres here in Rye
Finally – you don’t need to be religious to enjoy evensong (5.30 weekdays) at Canterbury Cathedral – just listen to those voices and enjoy total serenity! Del & June Ivory N.Devon 13th Oct’00
SUPER VISIT. ONLY *GREENSHANKS & CORMORANTS (+ DUCKS!) VISIBLE FROM THE WINDOW.
